Absolutely! In this world not everyone has the same faculties. But as we do all things as unto the Lord...we move closer to the kingdom together. I have not experienced yet the corporate walk in the Spirit. The kingdom of God is usually a lonely place....albeit glorious. The kingdom walk is in...

This is a time of religiosity and superficiality. The duty of Christians is to occupy spiritual places. But most Christians I speak to resist the idea of any kind of supernatural walk in the Spirit. So then that leaves the spiritual realm open to the enemy...and this goes unchallenged. When we...

Quebec city, Que.

it is the loss of all things...unto shame and nakedness. Sometimes in a sports exhibition...a person will streak naked before the crowd....especially if it is televised. Invariably that person is cast out of the stadium...at the very least. But so will many "believers" be rejected who have...

I suppose not! :) When we try straining the word of God through the understanding of men...we get a cardboard cut-out of something that is supposed to be life giving.

Back in the day, they didn't have aircraft...so they couldn't use that analogy. :) Amen! Grace is God's power freely given to us...that accomplishes the righteous requirements of the law. So then grace fulfills the law. Grace comes to us as a power of love....to fulfill the commandments to...

That's a human way of putting it. We come in and out of a FULL salvation. God doesn't just condemn everyone that doesn't abide in Christ. We are learning to be as Jesus. So then it looks somewhat like this A full salvation...to a pathetic condition...then A full salvation...to a slightly...

So you deny the existence of kingdom life now...? in favour of a future kingdom? How are we to seek first the kingdom? And His righteousness? These are together of course. I already know your position so you will claim to have His righteousness (a very unwise thing to assume) yet deny the...

Answer this ...what is the kingdom life we are called into?

We can't make a conclusion about the race while the race is in progress. A person can enter in and out of the kingdom realm in the Spirit. In fact we will all do just that. I'm speaking here of people who are actually entering in in the first place. Going in and out is how we learn to be as...

Gnosticism 101 :confused: I think Bono put it well when he sang..."I don't believe in the gun that just went off in my hand" It's 21st century schizoid man! (think King Crimson)

I don't see this at all in the text...sorry to say! :) The Jews see azazel (the scapegoat) as a kind of devil.....if not the devil himself. "Presented alive" means that people have not lost their lives for Christ...but have preserved them. Jesus said they who preserved their lives would lose...

I think it is undignified and ungodly of the Messianics to dub they who are born again and grafted into Israel...as mere scab labour...who will be put under others because of their DNA. Where is the faith in God? The spiritual birth is superior to the natural birth. Dispensationalists deny...

The works of the flesh? What of them? No one inherits the kingdom by the works of the flesh.

God has upped the ante, so to speak...He always gives us MORE than we ask of think! :) What was once a judgment on just this temporal world has taken on a new depth....so that we will now be judged according to a much higher standard who have received grace (or who have claimed to have received...

You are seeing Jesus here as a sort of magic genie that just allows God to forgive constant sinning. But you are leaving Jesus on the cross. He is risen! So we can walk with Him in newness of life. You are walking in your own power...hence you will always sin. The gospel is about a...

The flesh...of itself...is just weak. We have very limited faculties....being without spiritual faculties. When the flesh begins to assert itself...sin comes into being. But the meek shall inherit the earth.

This is the schizoid teaching of gnosticism. Very popular in the early days...since people could not understand grace...just like today. The flesh is not sinful in itself. It is the POWER of the flesh which is sinful. You are ignoring and obfuscating here. Jesus walked in OUR kind of flesh. He...

You are seeing through the wrong end of your telescope. You are denying the power of God....as Paul warned us of people who twist the meaning of Paul. The gospel fulfills the law BY grace. Jesus doesn't make us lawless. We overcome sin just as an airplane overcomes gravity. Do we abolish...

Hopefully we are getting around to the title of the OP...just sayin' :rolleyes:
