What you are missing is the power of the flesh which is according to a spiritual law. The law of sin and death. You are judging by your eyes and carnal faculties. The problem with mankind is a spiritual one. Leave the biology behind and read deeper into the word.

If you want to cease from sin..take up HIS cross and take on HIS life. Then you will walk in HIS power. THAT is the gospel and the power of grace freely given to they who believe TO (or into) Jesus.

You are seeing all of mankind as the same because you have not seen something that transforms men into Christlikeness....at least not yet. God is merciful. God is not legalistic although He is a God of law. God has instituted a new law...the law of faith in Jesus..so that they who abide in...

I'm not talking about me but about Jesus and abiding in Him. It's about any who abide in Him. Anyone who abides in Christ doesn't sin. A holy person doesn't sin. But of course it is still possible to sin...if we are not fully weaned from this world. The evidence of sinlessness in a person who...

Hurts what? ;) I think cheerfully says it all! :)

I'm attempting to show the division in this thread. The "you" is the charge against those who grieve the ones whom God will remember. These are grieved over the treatment of God and His will.

One of the verses that modern Gnostics base their error on is this verse. Romans 8:3b “(…) God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (…)” seems to be one of the favourite proof texts for “modern-day gnostics”. I have posted here a fair rebuttal of the notion that the flesh...

Nothing here of nationalism...

Ok...now you just need some scriptural support.....something that says what you are thinking, but in the bible. :)

If you have a better pov...then please share it. i started this thread so that others could weigh in on this topic. You are one of those "others".

Christ life is kingdom life. A life that walks in the Spirit...in Zion...in the heavenly realm...in the kingdom of God. Strive to enter into the kingdom.

Gnosticism seeks to dissociate the works of the body from the person. As in...I.m saved...but my body continues to do evil. Where do people who are so deceived get this from? Of course, a misreading of Paul. Note in Romans 7 Paul says... 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then...

For me it is a principle of giving. If we have faith...we will not calculate our own needs, since God is looking after us. Let every person give as they have purposed in their hearts. But we need to see the law as a guideline. Of course a person can get all legal about it if they want. I am...

Our spirits are not us. Our spirit is just a container that returns to the Lord after we leave this life. We are a living soul...caught in some dark place...which is the true state of our beings outside of God's presence. If we didn't have our natural senses...where would we be? Could we...

A tithe is a tenth of all you have. It is a standard of giving that takes giving seriously. (I remember the people putting quarters and dollar bills in the collection plate when I was young). We are to give for good purpose. That is the "principle" of tithing. Some people give half of all they...

It is unfortunate that we need a thread to expose another man made "ism". But people can't help themselves I suppose. So the purpose of this thread is to expose the error and heresy of Gnosticism...which at least some on this board have fallen into. Now there are various degrees of...

That's what the gnostics said...and what JW's call themselves too.

let's hope these are right angles! :D

I believe that the verse that states that a cup of cold water as in... Mat. 10:42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.” Does that not sound like "the least of these my brethren?"...

Too bizarre to comment. I will stop typing now.
