John 1:16 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Grace for grace...or grace anti (the Greek "anti") grace. Anti...the Greek word in between the graces....means of course "against"...but it could also men "in addition to." It could also mean grace "upon" grace. So we...

Having access to something and having it are not the same...and this can be misleading to people. If someone thinks they have something already...they won't seek for it. I have access to food delivery...as most people do. But if I think I already have that food I can starve to death for lack of...

Yet so many claim so much these days. Paul sought to apprehend Christ...for what many claim is already a done deal. He sought to enter into Christ...the walk IN the high calling in Christ. The walk in Jesus' perfected humanity. But what Paul sought for really has no interest for people today...

"According to a legend of the 19th century Truth and Lie met one day. Lie tells the Truth: "The weather is very nice today" Truth looks around her and rolls her eyes, the day was indeed really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together until they arrive in front of a well. Lie tells the Truth...

What of God's precious promises? We can walk with the Lord and see what He sees through HIS eyes..in His light we indeed see light. Is that a popular thing to consider? Is this in any way encouraging to those who seek for the rest that is the menoucha of God? And what of the Shechina glory? To...

God is righteous and fair. There is a perfect equivalency. God does not love Gentiles more than Jews so as to deceive the Jews and give us an easier time. To believe the lies and half truths of the modern gospel one has to consider oneself as more favoured than the people who were rejected in...

The judgment of God's house happens first. There are winners and losers. There are rewards and losses. The range of these is far greater than the separation of the rich and poor in this life. There will be those who reign with Christ. And there will be beggars in the streets of the nations...

It is the equivalent at the lower level of an external witness of Christ. In the building of God the OT is the lower floor....and the NT is the spiritual upper floor...or upper room. So although the Israelites were not born again by the Spirit yet there was an equivalence in power and...

I think trying to fit your way of thinking on top of mine is a fruitless venture. I don't see salvation as a done deal...but as a race. I see our refuge is to be IN Christ. Outside of that we are open to the elements, so to speak. Judge nothing before it's time. So we do come in and out of an...

1 Cor. 10: 4 "and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ." Maybe marks could explain this ...or at least look into it and get back to us! ;)

My question is always...which word? Can we take a verse we like the sound of and say...I like this one..I'll take it, as if the bible was a verse supermarket where by you just fill your cart with whatever tickles your fancy? What I am saying is that truth is always attached to other truth. You...

I thought it just might be time to have a very positive praiseful thread about the wonders of a walk in the Spirit. :) We have this treasure in earthen vessels. We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Now this a miraculous place to be...so far away from our routine...

Could it be that just as God sent Moses to take away a people for Himself...to meet and commune with Him in the wilderness...so also God sent Jesus who came to earth to take away a people for God to meet Him and commune with Him in the Spirit? Too hard to tell? :oops::rolleyes:

Divorcing your walk from the Scriptures...the bible that Jesus and Paul used...is the most unwise thing of all. Crossing the Red sea is indeed a picture of being saved from the world and into an encounter with God (at Sinai). Entering the Promised land is akin to walking in the Spirit. But this...

The kind of faith that God receives comes from the heart...not the mind. Unless you see no difference of course. But the NT is based on a new heart. It is NOT a belief system. So then many will be led astray by taking certain verses that seem to be an easy in...only to fool themselves. And...

This is universal. One does not measure up to God by claiming a self-righteousness by beliefs. Who is measuring the belief? And Jesus is not a minister of sin. If we abide in Him we don't sin. So you would attempt at a way to on the one hand avoid the law...and on the other hand deny the power...

The race of faith is open to all who believe. No one is born a saint. And even a born again person is "called" to be a saint. It is a high calling. But it is God who enables us to fly to the heavens by His grace. It is His work, the work of God, that we can believe INTO Christ. So we can keep...

Will you be needing a blindfold for the executioner? The racoon comes with a natural looking blindfold...so you should be ok! :) 'Executioner"...such an ominous sounding name! ;)

But these should not be understated. Love is the fulfillment of the law. Love covers a multitude of sins. So then people from all over the world who do this are considered acceptable to God. No need to hold to any kind of religious belief system. The good Samaritan parable is a good example of...

LOL... :) We will all be judged by what we have done with what we have been given. It's a churchy type doctrinal thing that makes beliefs a salvation requirement. I don't hold to the traditions of men. The bible is very clear that we are to build our houses on the rock of DOING the commandments...
