Discovering God's ways is like going to an art exhibit of an Artist with the most creative genius. His ways are above our own. They are to be admired, pondered upon...and allowed to penetrate into our consciousness...until we understand the intent, style, and ways of the Artist. The messages...

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus did say that His followers were to raise the dead.

I also find that the closer I walk with the Lord the less sin I engage in. When we are occupied with spiritual things...the carnal things fall to the side. But that does not keep us from falling victim to the sin inside us at times since the diligence required to stay a perfect course is outside...

Talk about twisting. You twist everything I say as you do the scriptures. it's pointless talking to you...so many to ignore...so little time.

Actually I am bringing clarity to a difficult to understand subject. Spiritual things are incomprehensible to a person who has not experienced Christ. So if we have faith in what God says....without seeing or understanding...that's a start. But to claim a justification for yourself with that...

I am giving judgment and righteousness back to God. You are claiming righteousness for yourself. So you are turning grace into iniquity.

You are trying to understand the life of God by looking at bible verses...but missing the point of them. The bible is not a religious book that shows you what to confess. It is a testimony of the life of God in people. God has chosen that His life would enter those who believe.....but HE decides...

Amazing lack here again. When we enter into Christ we partake of His life which is an eternal KIND of life. Of course we believe into life. That's the point of abiding in Christ...to walk in His life. When we are not walking IN Him then we are walking in the power of men...in a mortal kind of...

On your own belief that you are saved by believing in the way you do. God is circumvented in favour of your own judgment on the matter. Ps. 19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

Gal. 2:17 But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also have been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Never may it be! For if I build again these things that I had torn down, I prove myself a transgressor. IN Christ there are no sinners or ungodly. Those who claim to...

If you would just stop with all the self-justification you'd be alright. The Pharisees were condemned harshly by Jesus just for claiming to see...to understand. Many Christians do the same and worse. These are asking for the same judgment as they. Their righteousness does not exceed that of...

For all who think that being ungodly brings automatic justification. Does it say that God justifies ALL the ungodly. Does anyone here see how preposterous it is to try justifying yourself before God??? It amazes me. Should we sin more to get more grace? Are we who follow Christ not dead to...

I know...that you are justified for being ungodly. But even that is God's decision. No matter how much you choose to be ungodly...that is no grounds to justify yourself. Otherwise you would be just both ungodly AND self-righteous. Adding sin to sin.

To the Inquisitor... I am speaking of things that you don't understand. Your favourite verse does not say what you think it does. naturally you are looking to prop up the flesh by twisting the meaning of the verse in question. Is that wise? And you ignore the ones I give you...because you can't...

All these presumptions and false conclusions. Very weak. You are declaring yourself righteous. Better to make your calling and election sure and actually know Him. Let God declare your righteousness...personally. Lord preserve us from presumptuous sins.

Indeed. But you are changing the idea to God not having any say as to what is forgivable or not. The flesh wants to wrest the control away from God to be manipulated by men. The verse implies the decision is the Lord's. God judges. If a person assumes he is already forgiven...without...

It's hard to discuss things with people that hide from the truth and stick to their pride. How many here want to be seen as being justified as ungodly?...since God justifies the ungodly. So the flesh grasps at this chance for justification. The flesh wants most of all to be justified. But then...

The purveyors of this false gospel of grace have transformed the gospel into a low calling of Christ. Anyone with a religious opinion about Jesus is guaranteed of eternal forgiveness for a life of never-ending sin. That's really something to go after...a real narrow way....not. o_O

When a person doesn't understand the power of Christ...they always run to the flesh as an excuse to disbelieve...as you are doing. All have sinned. But not all continue to sin. Those of us who are truly born again have access to the Lord's grace so as to walk as He walked. But if you only...

Mature or complete in what? In holiness! Holy as God is holy. So then you don't have the correct scale of perfection. It is far beyond what humans can do in their own strength. We are to walk as Jesus walked. How? By abiding in Christ.
