That about sums up the theology of the modern church right there. However, death is more than just a physical state. We can walk in heaven and still be alive physically in this world. It requires a different kind of death. A death to the self-life that we draw our strength from. Then we are free...

The OP is false grace. I hope this has been posted to show the folly of the proposition. The Holy Spirit doesn't deny us responsibility for our actions.....the Spirit makes us MORE accountable for these. So the reasoning is backwards. This tract is written by a person stuck in Romans 7 but who...

What would you do?

I appreciate your question. It's difficult to say....as I don't always walk in the Spirit. I can't judge myself in this regard. Out of the Spirit I certainly fail at times... The closer we come to be with God the less we sin...that's for sure. I stay close to God. But there is a place whereby...

Confining the truth to what people agree on is like putting God in a box. The truth is far greater and deeper than most people can handle. If verses are posted that disagree with a person's current understanding what normally happens, because of pride, is a refusal to face the truth. Instead...

The other flock is that of the nations...called Ephraim. Out of Jews and Gentiles God is making ONE new man. One flock. Eph. 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by...

This is simply not the message that fills the pews of modern churches. The message of the cross is to they that are perishing foolishness. If there is no advantage to the flesh...the people walk out the door. The gospel message begins with a free sample...but to buy the product one needs to...

If only it were carnal, then you would understand and no doubt agree. But since it is both biblical and has a spiritual understanding attached...the same understanding that went into the text to begin with...you find yourself bamboozled.

If we follow a monochromatic reasoning into a universal conglomerate of existential similitudes we are undermined to the extent where we can almost hear the brain synapses misfiring. Any further venture into the murky bliss of such unsubstantiated phenomenon would only acerbate the heretofore...

I do recognize in you a particular set of skills. I think your English is very good and you are obviously well versed in the faculty of gabba gabba hey.

The key is...that you would recognize... since you are adding your own meaning to the bible....one that puts you at an advantage, But God is sovereign....called Lord. Have you read about the living God? Do you recognize that teaching?

The opposite is true. God decides things. You would make a doctrine that is above God. And that doctrine is your interpretation....not the truth.

Again...a consistent projection. Is this backwards day? ;)

It looks that way from a make-believe religion with no power. The bible describes a way that works. You espouse a way that doesn't work. That's where works come in. Eisegesis is where you try adding in meaning that isn't there. Wishful thinking.

Actually it says we can do all things THROUGH Christ who strengthens us. You have made another religion and a different gospel....an apologetic with no power.

It is akin to Christianity(modern) and Aids. Like being NIV positive. A loss of immunity from sin and the world...so as to make believers anemic unto death.

You are reflecting what you are doing to me. I said....God decides who pleases Him. Not people. But you claim a salvation for yourself apart from God's say so. You point to a bible that anyone can buy....but this does not buy you into the kingdom of God. There are conditions...written in the...

You deny the power of God. There is no grace present unless there is the power to overcome as Jesus did. The reverse of what you say is true. You are walking in your own strength. So you are powerless. And you lack faith in God and in what He has given to others. Don't assume you know very...

Salvation is conditional. Look at the if's of the NT. IF we put to death the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit....then we will live. I think the is great confusion when reading the bible to denote WHEN things take place. Eternal life can be entered into today...by the Spirit. Spiritual life in...

You are getting ahead of yourself a bit here. What takes us away from being under the law of sin and death is not due to the death of Jesus but to His resurrection. There's a death side to things...and a life side. Life comes from the resurrection of Jesus....as in The law of LIFE in Christ...
