Amen! The truth has more than one polarity. It is like a magnetic field. It has a positive and negative pole. In fact, even grace has a negative pole. Grace can deceive us unless we take into account that negative pole. The earth itself has a polarity and a magnetic field....or else we would be...

Unfortunately there are too many man made doctrines to contend with. I prefer to let the bible explain itself. Grace is ALWAYS about power. My grace is sufficient for you...the power of God to do what is impossible for men. People want grace to be about being special before God. But there is...

This is not true. We receive a taste of the heavenly gift. If a person only keeps what they start with...they remain as babies in Christ their whole lives. The touch is real. But God only gives us what we can handle. We are exhorted to go to the throne of grace to receive MORE grace when it is...

Grace is the empowerment of the other. It's isn't just favour. God has no favourites and neither should we. I think the idea of favour can be very misleading. God's grace consists of giving us the power to do His will. The power to walk in the Spirit. To bask in His presence in love, joy and...

I think that's it. His punishment was a temporal one...of not being allowed to see the promised land. But yet there was no eternal lasting effect. Like David. All sin has consequences...but some is eternal and some is temporal. But to whom much is given...more is required.

Right on John! God is always being faithful but is His faithfulness rubbing off on us? Are we learning to be righteous? Are we happy with the will of God and His ways? May the peace of Christ disturb us...even scandalize us..into some kind of conformity to Him.

Well as long as we are seeing the maturity in others as something good...and not in the immaturity of pride...then not so much. Paul said... 1 Cor. 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

What? Oh my...a total confusion of standards. God offered the very same salvation to all of Israel. Only Jacob and Caleb had that unlimited/unconditional faith in God in every situation. They were faithful...they did not have more grace. Man. Talk about missing the lesson. What God is looking...

This is assuming that we will be judged by our beliefs rather than our works. Where in the whole bible does it say we will be judged by what we believed? And yet how many times do we read that we will all be judged by our works and we will reap as we have sown?

This is the law that allows us to walk in the higher plane of the Spirit (the realm of the kingdom of God) so that we remain untouched by sin and this world. It is the walk that Jesus perfected in His humanity. It is like the law of flight that overcomes the law of gravity. So we are to walk in...

If He didn't spare the natural branches neither will He spare us. Rom. 11 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. Salvation is a race of faith..run to win.

The people tested Him 10 times in the desert. They grieved His Holy Spirit. And after so many signs and wonders. It reminds me of butt prints in the sand... Butt Prints In The Sand One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there was seen, The footprints of my precious Lord...

Hi Helen! The issue was whether Israel was saved. Israel definitely had beliefs and they even saw the work of God first hand. Imagine walking through a miraculous path through the sea with a wall of water on both sides. I don't think anyone believed it was a natural occurrence. The problem...

nay, rather foundational to a happy feeling in any song! My opinion of course. I think a good bass groove can be a cure for Aids....or an infection. Since the bass sound is infectious of itself. :)

A fellow bassist! Yes! :) (what I mean is...a fellow brother in Christ! Yes!) same as me...at 19 I started gigging...doing MoR and r&B. Then went to jazz because I didn't feel right with the ungodly lyrics in some of the songs I had to do. (after my conversion to Christ at 21) i have so many...

1. Can we be righteous on a human level? Of course. We are to love others as ourselves. We (or anyone) will actually be justified by helping God's people in physical ways...a cup of cold water....clothing over nakedness...etc... To the least of the brethren of Jesus....whether you know them or...

Where they told Jesus and the apostles to go away. Like the Israelites didn't want God speaking to them anymore...talk to Moses not us. That is in the gospel of Matthew...after Jesus cast the demons into the pigs. Matthew 8:34 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when...

That's our part in the faith transaction...the implications. Peter looked down and saw the water beneath his feet and took his eyes off Jesus long enough to think...I can't be doing this!...then he sank according to his own level of trust. We need to keep our eyes on a Jesus (the real Jesus) we...

Word! :)...that radical, revolutionary trust in God...that changes the world.

You have the right idea...kind of! ;) Imputed? saved? These are buzzwords that only mean something to people who have spent a lot of time in pews listening to man inspired doctrines. We are learning to have the same trust in God that Jesus has. I think you fully understand the OT standard of...
