    The Power to not sin in the flesh

    Nobody has the power to never sin within ourselves. But within Christ ALL things are possible...especially the victory over sin. So your argument is a smokescreen that is trying to cover up a lack of faith in Christ. It is only as we abide in Jesus that we take on His victorious walk...the...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Jesus destroyed the power of sin in Himself by taking it to the cross with Him....so that we can partake of His victory by abiding in Him. In Him is no sin.

    The Manifestating

    Please take no offense when I say that I used to believe that this was true. I used to think that God wanted intimacy with me more than anything in the world and I was convinced that the most important thing for me was intimacy with Him. I believed it with all my heart. While God does look for...

    The Manifestating

    Is a woman who is pregnant outwardly, inwardly responsible for the child she is carrying? Or... is she not responsible for the well-being of the child in her womb? I would think that we both agree that she is responsible. Can we agree that we are indeed responsible for our actions in the body...

    Sometimes it's the little dogs with their keen senses that can sniff out what others can't yet discern. (and no I'm still not calling anyone a dog) ;)

    The truth only hurts the part of people that resists the truth. If the purpose of truth is meant to set us free then we must see bondage as something that no longer brings us comfort.

    The Manifestating

    When trying to save a drowning man you must wait until they stop trying to save their own lives. They will try to bring you down with them. When they stop kicking and struggling THEN you can help them and bring them safely to shore. So then a person who tries to help someone out of error will...

    There you are! :) Thanks for the honesty at last. I prefer your insults to your fake love. That attitude you are displaying now (with your contrived false accusations) was always there...hiding in plain sight...at least to me. Before this you hid your real impulses with the fluff I was trying...

    Keep being misguided and obscure? We need to encourage people to be more transparent and clear in their postings...even if that means dis-agreement...at least at first. Then we can get to taking apart the logic that led errors to come into being...with patience and prayer. We can do no less. I...

    Ok...finally a clear answer. :) (see, that wasn't that hard) Can you see how your reasoning doesn't work? You are teaching something that doesn't hold any water. You are saying we cannot be free from sin...and yet offer advice on how to do so...seeing their deaths in Christ...in contradiction...

    I think when you say "outward saviour"...a term you are really making up...you mean a political saviour. The Jews were looking for a nationalistic leader...like Bar Kochba...who became what they believed was the messiah who would break the yoke of the Romans. When you say an "inward " saviour...

    Warnings to the churches about gaining eternal death

    The issue is not about what Jesus is lacking but what we are doing with the love of Jesus. We shall each give an account of our deeds before Him on judgment day. Then we will see who loved the Lord more than their own lives. Jesus did His part. Now it's our turn. Through Him we can continue His...

    The Simple Gospel of Grace:

    How many will be taken in by the false gospel bring presented...that is ABOUT grace...as opposed to the true gospel of the kingdom which is ACCORDING to grace. IOW a gospel in the power of God. Grace fulfills the law or else it is a false idea of grace.

    What is that supposed to mean? :) Another artwork manisfestating itself. An inward saviour? The sheer vagueness of that. Of course who would believe in someone who could save us from our sins...even exterior sins? Like it says in the bible. But the truth sounds too direct...too understandable.

    And yet the very vagueness of the OP means that a person can say whatever they wish and this has no bearing on any possibility of sabotage. There is only danger involved where the truth can be misapplied or misappropriated to mean something it doesn't.

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    You need to understand what the issue is first. When the good folks over at Ford motor company finish making a car and it rolls off the assembly line they can say with some measure of satisfaction..."it is finished." But that doesn't mean the car is in someone's ownership yet. A person has to...

    I see the OP like a work of art that one stands back and admires from a distance. What does it mean to convey? Well that's really up to the observer. It can mean different things to different people...as in...what is YOUR truth? The vagueness allows people to add in their own creative expression...

    The Manifestating

    I think "manifestating" is where you say a bunch of things that are very vague but sound good even though they are just empty slogans ...and these being proclaimed repeatedly...over and over. Whereas "manifesting" means something real is being brought out. And it can be explained and questions...

    The Manifestating

    I hope that one day you will actually come into the experience of what you are trying to so vaguely convey. It brings MORE confusion to everyone when people post theories that have no power in them.

    The Manifestating

    Before you post...you need to go before God, find out the meaning of things...and then present your findings CLEARLY....so as to edify others. Being vague just shows that you are posting for reasons unknown. And you seem unable to clearly answer a simple question. If you are unable to be...
