Do you believe in sinful grace? Do you believe that the righteousness of God is as filthy rags just like our own? So then your question should go in the unbeliever section of the forum. And that's why your kind of question doesn't get answered. You are assuming that we remain the same in...

What do you mean by eternal life? Do you have an assumption of an afterlife? Or are you experiencing the fellowship of God in Zion right now...which IS the eternal kind of life?

I call what you are disagreeing with.... baby evangelicalism. Where there is only Goldilocks or the big bad wolf. ;) Everything is seen as black and white...or binary. everything that is good...that is them. Anything that is bad...well that's for someone else. And they actually teach this stuff...

Evangelicals can't relate to James at all. But Catholics can. And that's because James is speaking about righteousness whereas evangelicals have this ingrained idea that none are righteous. And evangelicals are going after holiness...as per Paul...but missing the point of the high calling. And...

This is true by and large...but the question is the depth of it. We are not to judge anything before it's time...and that means that we must endure to the end to be saved. Most modern believers have a very superficial binary grasp on things biblical...very far from the actual training of...

This is too often taken to mean that Paul was trying to please God when he's dead...as in.... "Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him." 2 Cor. 5:9 A dead person doesn't labour. This is speaking about being in the power of the Spirit or not...in either...

But what pray tell is God asking for from us? Who is created for whom?

God is going to test everyone of the elect with fire. Some will receive a reward and be robed and others will lose everything and be eternally naked. This is the Bema judgment....for the house of God...the furnace spoken of is NOT the lake of fire. It tests the works of the brothers...of what...

People want a god that serves them. And it just seems like Jesus is such a god. But it just seems that way. The arrogant always try to take advantage of the humble. People mistake the humility of Jesus for weakness and an opportunity to take advantage of His sacrifice for themselves. But God has...

I don't get that vibe from you at all. I think you think you know it all. You judge from yourself and have seen nothing. And you are against anyone else knowing more than yourself. So where is the hope?

I cannot fathom an unholy grace. I can fathom a grace that brings us into God's holiness in order to walk worthy of the high calling...and share in the legacy of the saints of God. And this is by grace through faith. So who has the kind of faith to walk in that grace....to walk as Jesus walked...

God's agenda is that He seeks a nation that will bear a holy fruit. Of course people have their own agendas regarding salvation. But whose will is going to actually be done? Mat. 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the...

You are not understanding how God judges. You are putting ALL the responsibility for love on God...and nothing on our fruit of return. We are created for HIS pleasure. He does not exist for OUR salvation. salvation is a byproduct of pleasing God. A person is rejected by God because a holy...

Grace is the higher call with the higher equipping. Higher stakes. You see grace as a god having no more sense of sin...or becoming old and careless concerning a lack of holiness. But in truth God is just as holy as He ever was. And a lot of people believe they have an unholy grace that gives...

You are trying to compare humans with God. A human cannot cast a soul into the lake of fire. And we are not to fear men but God. So then your understanding is strictly human in nature...being in the dark concerning God. Look at this parable... Luke 13:7-9 Then said he unto the dresser of his...

You have not yet understood the stakes in the race of faith. You may think that Gentiles are better than the Israelites that perished in the wilderness. You might have something against the Jews who failed God. But God has raised the stakes...not lowered them. So then you have bought into a...

This is false. A perpetual babe is a person who never bears a spiritual fruit. Read the bible....with honesty...about they who never bear fruit. Or they who bear a carnal fruit....wood, hay and stubble. It is the difference between a blessing and a cursing. A reward or a loss of all things...

Amen. A religious person is a babe concerning spiritual things. And for that person all is binary...right or wrong. They can't see the ...good, better and best...of the growth in Christ. In Christ there is the analog progression ...the race...the journey...but only if one is actually walking it...

It is possible to be either justified by faith OR works. Paul is championing faith since everyone in those days KNEW that works justified you. Today we have the opposite problem. Nobody seems to understand good works...or works prepared in advance anymore. But notice this... Ps. 106:30 Then...

I don't think very many want to sin and still be a Christian. But the issue is with justification. Many do hold that justification and sin are separate issues...as in...I am still justified in my sins. As opposed to being justified away from sins. So it is a question of WHO is doing the...
