How about...our trust in God is being propelled to become the same as Jesus' own trust in God. :)

LOL....the just shall live by his faith. In the OT...his own faith and faithfulness (although this is also what I call entry level Jesus following ;) ) And without changing the words for the NT it can also mean...The just shall live by His faith: The faith OF Jesus. Yes...trust. But How...

To be led by the Spirit means that we will be also operating in the gifts of the Spirit...as we are led to.....by the Spirit. Does that mean we are walking in the Spirit? No. it means that the Spirit is guiding us. The Spirit is trying to teach us, to convince us of the goodness of His ways in...

Being led by the Spirit, in humility and with a lack of judgment for others, is the best possible walk we can have while still walking in our own strength. So we are led to die daily. Our commitment to Christ is being constantly renewed in the face of every new situation. And this is very good...

People hate when I mention indoctrination. They take it as an accusation....but is merely an observation. It's like saying that someone who has a dripping nose and a cough has a cold. So then it is a condition. Is it a sin to be indoctrinated? I would say it is a bondage of sorts. It restrains...

Why Assyria? As opposed to Egypt...or any other country for that matter?

And the northern tribes of Israel are sifted through all nations, tribes, and tongues. :) So to be intermixed with all Gentiles. When the believing remnant of the Gentiles come into the fold of faith ...that is what constitutes ALL Israel. Both Judah and now Israel (of the Spirit) are made...

You are doing what you say I am doing. I am being obedient to the Lord. I don't rely on a man-made indoctrination as you do. I am correcting your faulty understanding in your attempt to teach...which is what you are trying to do yourself but without an actual understanding. So I am doing for...

I know what is says...but you are forgetting that they were indeed saved. Saved out of Egypt. Saved from bondage. Ex. 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31. Israel saw the great power that the LORD used...

And how many today enter into the powerful presence of Christ? How much faith is there today...apart from a religious dogmatism as you are displaying? You are deciding what the criteria is...which you are not understanding. You think you are above such unbelief. But you are a naysayer as the...

Yes. A continuing faithfulness is required to finish the process that finishes with an entire salvation which is towards sanctification. So many people stop at a given point that they have decided upon. These say...this far and no farther. But God is the Director...we wait for Him to say "cut"...

Are you saying that the Israelites coming out of Egypt weren't saved? This is a common error. You would have to understand that there is an initial salvation away from our former lives...and a process of salvation into a new order...the kingdom order...whereby one can fail and be cut off from...

One could try going the human history route...or going directly to God like the 120 did by tarrying before the Lord back in the day. It's now called a revival...a revival of the Pentecost experience where the fire came down and filled people with all truth and power. That's what is missing in...

That proves that your understanding is there....:)

Whoa! Word! :)

People will reason with their own minds and say...it is impossible to fly. But in an airplane any one of us can fly. It takes no skill...just trusting in the pilot. Or people will say you are not bulletproof. But anyone who climbs into an army tank will become bulletproof...not because of any...

On the level of obedience by our own strength...we know what is right and wrong...so if we do what's wrong we are not doing it as by faith....but against faith. So in that way whatever is not of faith is sin. Obedience is by faith. Doing our own thing isn't. So this is about our faith and our...

Those pesky monkeywrenches... :eek:

One of the biggest dangers of being led by the Spirit is that a person's self-love...ego, pride are lifted up WITH the experience of God. When we self-evaluate our own faithfulness in a positive manner...rather than just seeing we are poor servants..we fall into a trap. It should be remembered...

This is a good beginning. And we go from that faith...to His faith. There is the good....and then the perfect. But so often the good gets in the way of the perfect. So then spiritual pride arises when it is realized that the workaday walk of being led by the Spirit is not the same as walking IN...
