Grace is a gift. The grace of God doesn't justify us....it's what happens to us inside that grace that will determine who we become. We will be judged against what we have received. If God is the Potter then grace is the tool. But we can be very hard to mold...or easier....it depends on us...

The Spirit UPON us is entering INTO Christ. Just like in the upper room in Acts. The Spirit within us is only quickened to life when we enter Christ so that we become filled with the Spirit. In the OT the Spirit would be ON the prophets...but since there was no indwelling Christ...there was...

I'm only pointing out that English takes on the French term to make what is being described SEEM more respectable. :) French classes up the English. Like the French liberté...which just means freedom...becomes liberty in English. Now some would say that liberty has more connotations in the...

Actually not so much. Nation is just French for country....as in "the United Nations" ...just like liberty is to freedom. And church is the plural gathering of they who are called out to follow after God.

They say that people come together in times of war....for one purpose...that of saving their nation. And in such times there is much innovation and creativity...not to mention sacrifice...and this among people of many backgrounds. They come together with one purpose. But the people of God are...

How do we win Christ? How are we conformed inwardly to that which God can empower/ After all, God will not empower us if we are not upright or we have a tendency to twist what God has given us to serve our own interests. So there is our own character to consider. Some will immediately call...

If you say "gullible" slowly enough and repeatedly...it begins to sound like "orange."

You are zerooing in on a future event when they who are in Christ shall receive a new body...just as His. And this is a concern of mine...that when people read of entering into the promises these assume that means only AFTER we die physically. But that is not my concern at all. The high...

Philippians 3:14 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Paul ran the race unto the high calling of Christ. Today this has been eliminated as a kind of low calling...so that everyone can be made to feel saved WITHOUT entering into the kingdom life...

Philippians 1:27 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; There are 2 levels of obedience...

Phil. 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, For Paul, the Christian faith was an ongoing race towards inward conformity...

Luther changed the gospel. He made it possible for carnal men to feel saved...by believing they are saved for believing that Jesus will save them. So then ignoring everything Jesus said in order to put one's faith in Luther is seen as being a follower of Christ.

I don't think it wise to associate oneself with any particular movement in church history...or be followers of men...reformers included. A follower of Jesus is a follower of Jesus...nothing added to that.

But this is a downgrading of the potential that is in Christ. There were many righteous in the OT. And Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance but into Himself in order to be holy as God is holy...without spot or wrinkle of anything besides holiness. So then the wicked are called...

it's certainly not easy being hunky...i can imagine. :)

The shallow way of a human belief puts Jesus in our lives as a "wishful thinking" operation that seeks to include Jesus in our own carnal lives. But this is both a fiction and backwards. We are to enter into Christ's life to live in a miraculous power....the same power that Jesus walked in...

This is an unfortunate choice of words in the English translation. The Greek makes no inference to it being the gospel OF one or the other. It could be implied but it is not definitive, So again the vagueness of the bible leads people to jump the gun and interpret it with the carnal mind. There...

Amen! We are to strive together for the faith of the gospel. The faith OF Christ...not our version of human beliefs about Christ. God reveals His ways to us through unique expressions of His grace on individuals...but WE need to put things together to see and understand His ways.

There is no pattern on how to be saved. Is there a pattern on how ro find a wife or husband. Why reduce God to a set of static ideas? Every person is unique. Paul show absolutely NO pattern...because it was God's mercy acting in a very particular way with paul and with all of us. Did you also...
