    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Still going strong in the paint I see Barney. That’s a lot of information but at the end of the day even at death my hope in faith is to be resurrected, same for all. Jesus said all will be resurrected, so… Either I believe him or do not, total choice there. You can believe whatever you...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    You also reminded me of one more scripture that deals with the new covenant in what God does with those who seek him out in faith. ““Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Thank you for taking time to share your insights, Sbg. Some good things here. @stunnedbygrace something important in dealing with righteousness like you said reminds me of this scripture here. It’s always Jesus Christ and his righteousness that makes one right with God by faith in Him. “God...

    Anyone who views this, just go and check the first post and read it. If you are desirous to be a critic please make your points addressing the Original post. Thank you all, and anyone who desires to answer the question please feel free, the answer is we are complete and made right with God in...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    I have to stay true to what I believe even if it deems me someone who is not to be associated with. Such as my radical views on Christ return and the like.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Consideration is different than mandating. People are free to believe what they want, I don’t care hold old a person is either or how long they been in faith or been a Christian. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, so I’m not worried about it and the reason I been stating it...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Yes behold, it is all about being complete in Him. Which brings forth newness of life! “Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    I believe my initial post has a lot of my honest assessments in addressing the things Jesus said, if they are right why wouldn’t it strengthen faith? I could be wrong too, up for people to test it. Faith is what makes us complete in Christ, we die with Christ and are raised with Christ into...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    No one said that anyone is perfect in their flesh Grailhunter, I believe you have been mistaken upon reading the original post, therefore to continue to keep saying the same thing over is not needed. People are perfect by the spirit which is a life-long process but never completed until death. A...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Faith is so highly important to God and as Christian’s we even believe the first line of the Bible by faith in which states “in the beginning God”.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Again another scripture in Colossians mentions being complete in Christ in verse 10. “And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Yes, that I agree with. Christ makes a person perfect in being seen as right with God though. That is what I mean by perfect - walking in integrity or complete in Christ which is what the word perfect entails but you said that it was not defined that way. “Therefore, since we have been made...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Sure and thank you for commenting some of your own personal concerns dealing with those out there who might just pick up a Bible and read it but not totally understand it, they can get to a point in understanding if they choose to study and deny oneself but how hard is that even for us...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    People shouldn’t be tried to be put in doubt but to test the scriptures and see if what is being spoken about is true. It’s indicative for us an individuals to seek for truth, and reasoning via the Bible but primarily by and through the spirit. Be encouraged those out there!

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Jesus is the perfecter of faith, in Him a person can be complete and whole in and through faith in Him being made right with God because of Him. Hebrews 12:1-3 English Standard Version Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Perhaps the spirit is not enough, for you in my best estimation to just say something’s by Jesus can’t be explained then, that is very strange to me, but hey you believe what you do, perhaps I just don’t understand because of the non credit to the spirit.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Many people who are babes in Christ still have to learn and grow and God is with them their to help them if they choose his help, he could send people along the way to help in certain fields of knowledge. God is good and the spirit is there to guide us to truth. :)

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    It would be good if people where honest for the most part and say they are confused but it is doubtful anyone will openly admit this here as pretty much everyone has their own ideas about certain subjects they may be moved by the spirit to learn if they decide to grow in that subject whatever it...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    When it comes to all things are possible with God I believe that would be that which comes with His promises. What do you think it means? It’s not always gotta be confusing, the confusing part comes if a person is confused about being perfect, mature or walking in integrity by following Christ...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    What is amazing is though we are naturally evil at youth, God has people out there to teach and lead towards the light that leads to a renewed mind in the heavenly aspects knowing on is secure by faith in the hope of Christ which brings forth new life in dying to the old one without God being in...
