Welcome to the Boards! I hope you find some fellowship here! :) And what a friend we have in Jesus! And hopefully a friend inside people who are themselves in Jesus.

I think we forget how much God loves faith! Faith is precious to Him. So when He tells us to do something impossible sounding...He watches to see how we will react. :eek: Do we respond with faith...as in...no problem for you my Lord! Or do we buck and complain and only see the impossibility of...

So why does God make the games so difficult? Remember that this is God that we are talking about...Someone whose ways ARE so much higher than our own. There is no limit to what God can do. And the race is one of faith. So of course there is going to be a standard that seems impossible for men to...

Jesus said that rivers of living water would flow out of people. The gas tank idea works however for they who are not abiding. You only need a gas tank when you are leaving the station. Jesus Christ IS the filling station. There is a keeping power of God whereby one is always filled...and even...

Romans 6 is about the first step in the journey of faith. From righteousness unto holiness. It is actually...eternal life IN Jesus Christ. (not just through) The eternal kind of life is found by entering into Jesus Christ....to abide in holiness with God in Zion. To walk as Jesus walked...as...

That is not the same as being led by the Spirit but abiding still in the flesh. Only when someone is FILLED with the Spirit (and overflowing with grace) is there no more room for sin. Otherwise the dark corners of the un-crucified soul will manifest themselves at the wrong times.

The words of God actually. We are the righteousness of God IN HIM. If you look up the verses that contain the attributes of God that we are to show the world...you will find that they are found IN HIM.

Perfection is to enter into Him...He who knew no sin. We take on His perfected humanity IN HIM. But people can't see the "in Him"...so they keep looking to themselves and say it's impossible. With God ALL things are possible. Again...who believes that? All the promises of God in the NT have...

The answer is Jesus Christ...who is our sufficiency. His grace is sufficient for all that pertains to life and victory in this world. I would think you should be overjoyed about this.

We were the ones who put Jesus to death...not God. God knows how to make people drop dead....just look at Ananias and Saphirra. God was angry at them...not His Son. God put the liars to death. But WE killed His Son. Our sins did this. He bore our bad attitudes...our cruelties...our lack of...

Only God could save that jailor from being put to death because the prisoners were no longer in their cells. The jailor understandably feared for his life. Not just for himself but also his whole family. But God would protect Him since the jailbreak was orchestrated by God Himself. :)

Christ is the end of the flesh for all they who enter into Him. This is a mystery...even among believers. :( It is only in Christ that we have all things that make for fulness in God. Holiness is ONLY available in Him. So we are to walk in Him and be holy as God is holy.

In poorer countries...which is most of the world. So you just need to travel....but not to tourist destinations. :)

The mystery is how we qualify for the Lamb's book of life. There are 2 levels of righteousness...God's and ours. HOWEVER...in Christ we learn to adopt and adapt to His righteousness..until that righteousness is worked into us...as dyed in the wool. So then this is the righteousness of saints. It...

Since there is no unity in the body...we are not yet striving together for the same level of faith that we read about in the bible. We have settled for much less....a religious facsimile of the church. And to enter into Zion in Christ is a revival. It means walking as Jesus walked with signs...

Phil. 1:27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for...

You don't believe that Jesus Christ is without sin? Do you realize you are adding sin to Christ?

Actually you can't be led of the Spirit unless Christ be in you. But to enter into Christ is something different. One can be led by the Spirit and still sin. But in the Spirit sin isn't possible. There is no mixture in holiness. One is either holy or not. "just because we get in the flesh does...

You are speaking of being led by the Spirit which is not the same as being in the Spirit. If you follow a car in the road it isn't the same thing as being in the car. So it has to do with proximity. A person is yet walking in the power of the flesh even though that person can be following after...

I prefer abstruse to obtuse! :) Peace
