Not so fast! ;) If we already have all we need...why should we ask for more grace to be to or upon us or others? God gives us grace out of His fulness...almost never in a great amount at first...more often as a small deposit...to see what we will do with it. Now a lot of people who have...

The full victory over sin is found only at the throne of grace. God waits for us to come to the right conclusion about ourselves and our own weakness. He waits for us to turn to Him..to seek His face...His presence...His visitation and inspection...that He might give us the full measure of grace...

We can't really speak of freedom from sin unless we go through the biblical progression from Romans 6 through 8. In Romans 6 we are seeing the universal grace of God acting on the believer together with the choice of the will so that he leaves behind his old life of sin. This concerns...

Indeed He does. But when the bible speaks of abiding in Christ...that isn't just being faithful...there is a gift of grace that gets us into Him. The bible speaks on 2 levels...always...on the righteousness level and on the holiness level. What you are saying works on the righteousness level...

Thank you. You need milk...not meat. I wish you well in your de-programming from man-taught doctrines and search for truth.

I'm not able to get through all your indoctrination. If you want to be actually helped...read my threads carefully...and check what I say against the words from God. Please drop all that superior Christianity stuff. It is based on religious pride and arrogance. If you can't see the truth...

I'm seeing how much error you are sowing on my thread. To me you are just troll who says the opposite of truth. As such I ignore your words as they convey nothing but opinions that have no foundation in the words from God. But just to show you are speaking of things you know nothing...

It depends what you mean by secure... If you mean eternally saved as in an eternity with God...no. Being born again in the New Testament is the equivalent of being born in Israel (as a Jew) in the Old Testament. Just as they were rejected so can we also be. God does NOT love Gentiles and hate...

"Born again" is not the same as "mature again." Many who have been born again in our time have been seduced from the "simplicity" (single-minded purpose) of Christ. There is an overwhelming seduction of delusion in the churches of today that makes the truth seem foolish. And this was prophesied...

Getting more grace from God is like getting oil for your lamp (like in the parable of the virgins)...or gas for a car. If we want to do the eternal works that are prepared in advance...we need grace to do that. If we want to continue the eternal road trip...we need gas fill-ups for the car...

Actually eternal life is only found when we enter INTO Christ to walk as He walked...in that same eternal power as He did...the perfected walk...the power of the life to come. "Christ in you"...is the HOPE of glory...not the eternal life itself. To experience that eternal kind of life one must...

The power of the gospel is the freedom from sin. Matthew 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. ...not IN their sins. John 1:29 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb...

You can read the bible for yourself...you can pray. You are responsible for your own walk at some point. Not to put your trust in men. The bible also says that the Spirit will guide you into all truth. Do you believe that?

You are making this up of course. You are following the modern way of a private interpretation. Why wouldn't you prefer to understand the truth? I don't understand that. Why be happy with a human opinion when we have access to the living God?

When the bible speaks of forgiveness as in a gratuitous favour or granting pardon (karidzomai) that is speaking of what we are to do to one another. In fact God only treats us as we treat others. If we are gracious with others THEN He will be gracious with us. That is according to the law of...

Acts 26:18 18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness (actually freedom) of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Opening our eyes...going from darkness to...

...but harmless as a dove! :rolleyes:

Or didn't labour at all...;) A lot of projecting and passive aggressive behaviour.

Post #5 last sentence (OK paragraph :) ). I wrote... "OR....we can be wise and claim nothing but keep an open mind in all honesty...refusing to add a religious certainty to our ways. We can lay hold on humility and preserve the fear of the Lord. Faith then for these wise ones is to be able to...

I gave three options not two. Humility gives us a way out. But a dishonest person would make my posts to sound that way...either from a basic dishonesty or a lack of reading skills. A willful misrepresentation? How willful is that blindness? The father of lies is ever busy to deceive and...
