Just as authoritative as your interpretation of it is often lunacy. :)

It's hard to speak to a religious person. Everything is about dogmatics... ;) Nobody is finally saved until the end of their lives on earth. Until then we are still in the running. Everything we do counts towards the final judgment. But to understand that the righteousness mentioned in the...

Actually that's when you misunderstood Paul. The gospel wasn't changed until the "Reformation" of Jesus' words to mean something entirely different.

Luther changed the gospel....to what is possible for men to do. And that is to believe the lie that God can be blinded to our true condition.

A person can think that walking on the moon is the same as walking on earth....if that person can't imagine anything other than what has already been experienced.

The miraculous works...yes. No one can raise the dead by their own power or righteousness. Don't confuse what God can do and what we can do. But if you see somebody needing help...do you just point them to God saying...I can't help you...maybe God will? Like the religious ones that didn't help...

John the Baptist was making the way for...................................Jesus. The kingdom of God is found within Christ. This was not an outward Davidic kingdom. That's what the Zealots were desiring. But the kingdom of God was not about a kingdom that came by sight....but by faith. A...

Obedience to righteousness UNTO holiness. :)

We need God's righteousness in order to be His servants and ambassadors in the world. Otherwise we are promoting our ow ministry....not the Lord's. A servant of God goes in the authority of God....NOT speaking his own words or having his own opinions...at all! So there is little to no...

People confuse the heart of a person...with the means at his/her disposal. You would think that bible readers would understand Jesus' pointing out the widow's 2 mites was she doing all she could. But understanding seems hard to grasp these days.

This is true and is based on righteousness. Like when the Samaritan really helped the man that was attacked and near to dying. The OP, however, is about holiness. I'm amazed that nobody seems to be able to understand this simple difference.

First paragraph is the errant doctrine of Dispensationalism championed by Darby. And the second is the errant doctrine of "alien righteousness" invented by Luther. Talk about the philosophies of men!

I make the distinction between being LED by the Spirit and being filled with (or walking in the power of ) the Spirit. John was filled with the Spirit on the Lord's day to produce the book of Revelation....but he always was open to the guidance of the Spirit. And my idea of monasticism is that...

So we see that it is not about the grace we have received or the many blessings that were bestowed upon us...but what these did to our character. To remain humble in heart and fear the Lord....that is wisdom. :)

First of all it is the righteousness of God....not of Christ...and this is given to God's servants...they who are His bond-slaves. The cost to enter under His righteousness is everything....being emptied...having the same mind that was in Christ. Isaiah 54:17 17 No weapon that is formed...

As Jesus said...when the batch is leavened...how do you unleaven it? But all things are possible with God...IF we repent.

God never partially sanctifies people. Nor does He half-crucify people. Both of these take place when one enters into Christ. They happen in the twinkling of an eye. The process of being saved into the likeness of Christ (Christ being FORMED in us) in our own characters takes a long time...

Glad you enjoyed it. :) The article raises up some very god points and is done both faithfully and honestly. God has His people seeking the way to impact the world for Christ without compromising the truth. Have you heard of Shane Claiborne? He is living out what he calls "the new monasticism"...

God calls it as HE sees it...so you are refuting God. You err by taking one verse out of context to overthrow God's judgments elsewhere. Abraham did not walk in the Spirit...he merely trusted God as a child trusts their parent. We are to trust God in that way. That is the lesson. But people are...

You are referring to a "saved status" that is taught these days. But we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Read this for yourself. This life is a race. No one wins until the finish. Check out sports that have races to see how people can be overconfident and lose the race...
