To bring us to what state? To bring us under grace where there is the power over sin? Or that we continue to live in our own power and just expect to be covered for our sins?

The "I'm doing the best I can" under grace...is not what grace is for. Everybody is doing the best they can. Grace is meant to make all the difference...to do things that are impossible to do for regular human beings. But have we really tapped into the eternal life and power? Are we really...

The issue is always going to be...in what capacity will you live eternally? A person can survive a war and be blind, and a paraplegic.....but is still saved. I think it is very simplistic to see salvation as only one thing...without looking at the choices we make.

Humility dictates that we see our failure ...that we have failed grace...as the Jews before us failed the law. That's the point of it. It is the exception that makes it through to God...not the rule. A remnant. A very small remnant. So by exposing people to the truth it allows the remnant to...

Now I think that most believers today would agree that the Jews failed at fulfilling the law...even while holding it out to mankind. But did they fail the law because they were just too busy doing others things...like chariot racing? or... did they fail in their direct attempt...a very...

To understand God's ways one has to realize that we are offered choices and that there are both good and bad outcomes for everything. So there is life and death. Now a believer has passed from death to life. So that's the first level. But then there is also after that blessing and cursing...

It only seems like that to someone who is very far to a far rightist religious ideology that has no actual contact with God at all...just a book about Him to be exploited for the self-seeking bent in the fallen nature.

You can tell what realm you belong to by your convictions. If you entangle yourself in the affairs of this world...then you are OF this world. The kingdom of God is not of this world. Avoid politics IF you are of Christ. Otherwise you will be entangled in the carnal futility of politics...

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness that is caused by a spirit. It is similar to anorexia. There are many spirits that are gone out into the world. But these can be resisted and rebuked. What is harder to dispel is the environment that causes these to seem normal in some way through a misguided...

For the believer in Christ every day is the Sabbath rest. We have ceased form dead works to serve the living God in His rest. Sabbath means to STOP doing what we were once doing...from ourselves.

I think there is a lot of confusion between faith and hope. Faith is something to live in right now...along with love. The the future belongs to hope...a living hope. 2 Co 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

Man...how can people be so far off? Blessing a person doesn't confer eternal life. We are to bless every house we enter. And the rest is all human speculation that assumes that you become a saint by reading a bible.

People always use this inappropriately. The thief on the cross was declared saved by Jesus. Until someone finds a person to declare himself saved....as in (Jesus being silent) I will be with you in paradise this day! The same goes for Abraham. It doesn't say "and he believed God and he imputed...

I was saved...I am BEING saved....and my hope is that God will receive me into His eternal rest come judgment day. I leave the judgment to God...because it isn't the day of self-judgment...but the day where the truth comes out and God will judge every man according to his/her works. And we can't...

That was fast! :) Well no one is finally saved before the end. Until then we are in play...in training...in a race. And being saved to what? Many will be saved and cast away into darkness there to roam in the wilderness forever. So salvation is not an issue...but being a light in the world IS...

I'm a student of the word including a strong inclination to the Hebrew scriptures. I also work with men. I oversee a home fellowship. God is very good! :) Good to see you here. It can get heated at times....the wild west even...but there is an ignore feature that removes the unedifying content...

Welcome here SBG! Please share your gifts with us in the Lord! :)

News flash: that is the purpose of the bible. To point to God and His eternal kind of life in the Spirit. Didn't you get the memo?!;)

Your handlers have conditioned you to respond this way in a classic us and them...zero-sum game maneuver. I study the bible intensely in both French and English...and in Hebrew. Many hours a day...more than most people who say they follow the bible. So I am not denigrating the bible...just...

Are you familiar with double-tapping? I would say that it is better to fellowship in the liberty of the Spirit away from the control mania we see.....and offer an alternative that is in freedom and truth. Our job is to follow Christ not to fix a broken religious system.
