Continuing on the theme of "buying" from the Lord (as opposed to a free gift) we have the parable of the 10 virgins. All 10 are the same but for one detail. Five of them have bought oil for their lamps. These are wise. They have sought out the Lord and received the full measure of grace in...

There is more than one step to holiness...although we could say that holiness is in two steps. There is the free gift of grace...as a free sample...when we are born again by the Spirit...which is Christ in you..the HOPE of glory. The qualifies us to run the race of faith. The false teaching...

Amen. We are all BEING saved. The Christian life is a walk...not a one-step. We all need to continue in the faith of Christ is to saved in a permanent sense. Sanctification is by friendship with a holy God. Those that seek the Lord and interact with Him by the Spirit are BEING sanctified...

What did Paul mean when he said "I have not yet attained". This goes so contrary to all the religious certainty in our time. Phil. 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been perfected, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. This...

God bless you brother! :) May you be filled with His peace...a peace that only the Father can give us.

Bless you sister. :) <><

In the NT Paul describes the 'as yet carnal' believers as a distinction to the ones who are "spiritual." 1 Cor. 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one. Gal. 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one...

Actually...once again you are espousing what you have been indoctrinated into by the traditions of men rather than what is biblical...and according to the truth. Becoming a saint of the Lord used to be a goal for believers to attain. In both man -made traditions of Catholicism and it's cousin...

"The Saint Must Walk Alone" By A.W. Tozer Most of the World’s GREAT SOULS have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness. Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Moses all walked a path quite apart from their contemporaries even though many people surrounded...

Now Catholics believe that a saint comes along once in a generation...and Protestants think everybody who accepts free salvation is a saint. I believe neither are true. I am posting this thread for those who are interested in advancing their walks towards saintliness. God has ordained that...

Or is it...the Jews must receive Jesus before they can return?

It really is...push the content gently in love! :)

God indeed uses humility on our part as raw material for His work of righteousness. He rides on us...the wild colts....to make us wise. The two ways that intersect are holiness and righteousness. Or we could say...glory and humility...grace and truth.

Those who make great claims for themselves will be abased. But God will preserve the ones who become as children...innocent of pride and presumptions.

OK I'll play! :) You go first. Explain "your model" of the 4 river systems in Gen. 2. And explain Rev. 22:11.

I'm not going to play opinions with you. If you ever get serious...

Do your own study. Ask the Lord for guidance with faith. Each study I present here has taken years to fully comprehend and to fathom in depth. Yet the many experts here say they disagree after less than a minute of reflection. If you take the word seriously...then seek. This place is a...

I'm not fooling around here...I speak of what I know by revelation of God and by direction of the Spirit as I'm led to study in the word...revealing the things that most people will never understand. This is a gift. A gift that is disrespected in todays' "church"...but that is because the One I...

Why would I be here to offer my opinions? Everybody here thinks they speak the truth and only the truth. But no two people seem to be able to agree on very much at all. You think it's wrong to say...this is the truth...but by thinking it's wrong you are claiming that you are a judge of such...
