    ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF of the DEITY of YAHWEH JEHOVAH and JESUS CHRIST

    If the ontological mode of upsurge in inherent truisms surpasses the need for diachromatic stasis in unlimited auras of internal disputes, the resultant cacaphony caused by this ipso facto chain reaction of dubious origin, allows brain synapses to misfire at astonishing levels heretofore...

    The Righteousness of God

    When Jesus cried out "it is finished"... Righteousness was perfected Holiness was incarnated Redemption was paid Sins were forgiven Sins were overcome Reconciliation was achieved Death was conquered and Salvation was secured Now all we have to do is strive to enter into Christ that we might be...

    Blessed are the poor in spirit

    What about the opposite of someone who exalts himself...has a high opinion of himself....claims to be "special." (of course not in an Olympic kind of way)

    Found In Christ

    The difficulty here, as in all your posts is that you are not making a distinction between a mind condition based on brainwashing or indoctrination...and an actual knowledge of God. After all people are brainwashed constantly and on a subject where the person desperately wants to believe the...

    A good start! :)

    righteousness

    So we need to abide in Christ and not sin. In Him is no sin. Enter in Him. Walk in Him. Now if this was easy many would testify of this victory in the resurrection power of Christ. But this is what Paul said he was after. A good spy who has tasted the power of grace in the promised land of His...

    righteousness

    I'm afraid that many have learned to expect the righteousness of God to be as filthy rags just as their own since they can't testify to a power over sin in THAT state. So then they are actually still in their own righteousness and strength but only calling it God's. So we see by the words of...

    righteousness

    More like the other way around. We can love others without the anointing of Christ....but we can't love others as Jesus did without His love. We receive His love by entering into Him.

    righteousness

    Transgressing righteousness in an effort to be justified for our stance in holiness. Holding the truth but in unrighteousness.

    righteousness

    Yes, the definition of iniquity..... mixing ourselves with Christ and saying it's Him.

    righteousness

    You are confusing a holiness standard (loving God) with a righteousness standard (loving your neighbour). It may surprise you to know that the "royal law" is not about believing in God...but loving others as yourself. Agreed. Agreed. But do you realize that one can obey God's will without...

    righteousness

    Repentance will never go out of style. According to God's righteousness we need to love our neighbour.

    righteousness

    Modern evangelical doctrine is so muddled that it is not just a question of getting the cart before the horse it is about not knowing if the cart is in the horse or on the horse or if the horse is on the cart or in the cart or à la carte.

    righteousness

    I can't show you how you are confusing God and men. It is so obvious to me...but it seems that others can't tell the difference. I'm amazed at this. People can be justified by either works or faith...human works or human faith. Of course neither can be used to justify themselves by...

    righteousness

    In comparison to God...yes. But how many do these filthy works and say that they are in Christ while they are doing them? The problem with the filthy rags comparison is that most moderns think that the righteousness of God is no different than their own filthy works...these espouse a sinful...

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    A W TOZER: Christianity is so entangled with the world that millions never guess how radically they have missed the New Testament pattern. Compromise is everywhere. The man who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. The fact is...

    righteousness

    Jesus spoke of the Publican who was justified because he recognized his own unworthiness...which was righteousness in God's eyes. He also spoke of the Samaritan who loved his neighbour. Now you aren't going to tell me that only Christians love their neighbour. Loving your neighbour is the...

    righteousness

    Part 1. Where do you read that the Gentiles now all have the righteousness that God has??? Where do you add the word "God" in there that is not there...on purpose? Part 2. NOW we are talking about God's judgment. The Jews...just like most modern Christians do NOT go to God for His...

    righteousness

    Again...that is an interpretation due to a quick reference. But you are the one supposedly connecting the dots. Nowhere in the bible does it say that the righteousness of faith is the same thing as the righteousness of God. In fact the opposite case is to be made...seeing that humans are NOT...

    righteousness

    This is where attention to detail is so important. God's righteousness is NOT the righteousness of faith even though both are attained by faith. The thief on the cross did not have God's righteousness....but he had faith. Likewise the centurion who had great faith....but he was not OF God...
