This is a good observation. Of course as with anything with God...there are many facets and depths of understanding possible. But Jesus did say he that is the least in the kingdom... “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least...

What is sad is when people are looking for a permanent justification for NOT being obedient to Christ and the gospel (which is seen as works). But Jesus only gives the kingdom to they who bear the right kind of fruit. The modern religious process works like this...a person justifies himself...

You are seeing things backwards. Believing INTO Jesus is a work of God...not a human work. The thief had his own faith...not the faith OF Christ. So again you are failing to make distinctions...but just making an omelette of everything thus obscuring the truth of it. And this is no yoke! ;)

Not at all. You would have to know the difference between...Christ IN you and Christ being FORMED in you. There is a world of difference between these. MANY are called but FEW are chosen. So then many have the HOPE of glory but few attain to glory. Many have Christ in them as a template...but...

This is false of course. They who are led by the Spirit are not under the law. We ARE to live up to God's standard....by grace through faith. Not of ourselves, but by the resurrection power of Christ. Otherwise you are still trying to justify yourself with filthy rags. And before we grow into...

You are exactly wrong. Jesus said as I overcame now YOU overcome as I did. Rev. 3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. You think you will not be judged for your actions. Dead wrong. We will...

Although Jesus died as a propitiation by buying back His creation from the temporal hijackers...the devil and his political structure.

This is actually true. :) I'm surprised that a binary fundamentalist can see that. There are in fact three books at judgment (books and another book make 3) The book of life. (The obedient to the basic principles of Christ...like the meek) The book of remembrance (the righteous) The Lamb's...

Apparently you are into surmising...and putting things together incorrectly. You should just say you can't see what I'm saying. Just as you don't understand everything in the bible. Christ in you is the HOPE of glory...but not the guarantee of glory. Some will go astray, some will be offended...

The counterfeit gospel provides a god that is more compatible with the dreams and aspirations of people. But a good servant is conformed to his master.

1 John 3:16 Whoever abides in him, does not sin:

The Jews are not looking for a divine messiah. They are looking for a political leader like another Bar Kochba.

Right. We will be judged on what we did or how we used that gift. I think many get hung up on thinking that we will be judged by what Jesus did for us rather than we we did with the grace and time we have been given to advance in God's ways.

LOL. I think you are assuming I'm doing what you are doing! I am taught on a whole other level that you would obviously not understand.

All good. As long as it is remembered that it isn't the translation that is inspired but the original text. It is a good thing to learn the languages of the bible. Especially if one is to teach from it.

So what's been on your mind lately?

This is so far off. Only the saints are written in the Lamb's book of life. These will have Christ as their life. This is the Bride of Christ. To say things so trivially (and so falsely) about the things of God is shocking. And I think you are confusing the book of life with the Lamb's book of...

God is not involved in smoke and mirrors. That is the domain of religion. And God is not religious. So then grace EMPOWERS us to be as Jesus in the world. And this is the result of walking in His resurrection life. Jesus was raised for our justification. Judgment will reveal who are really...

This is a skewed criticism based on your non-understanding due to your dogmatic beliefs about the bible....which are the modern heresy of an easy greasy grace salvation for a one time transaction of lip service to God. It is you that denies salvation to others besides they whom you judge to be...

There is no gospel about grace; or grace gospel. That is a heresy championed by Darby with his dispensational bent. The gospel is about the kingdom of God ACCORDING to grace. IOW in Christ we have been given the power to be obedient to the gospel of the kingdom as preached first by Jesus Christ...
