By not abiding in Christ. What does that mean to be strong in the Spirit? A term may mean something to someone...but not line up with the word. His strength is made full in our weakness.

Rather...you don't understand the power of His life. Sin is not possible when we abide in Christ. But you can try following the law all day long...and still sin through the weakness of the flesh.

You are contradicting yourself here....you do in fact try to obey the law...not only to be righteous but also holy. That is why you are so disturbed at those who choose a living holiness apart from the works of the law. The Jews did what you are doing and missed the true righteousness. Yet the...

But that faith must be informed by experience...otherwise what is your faith getting you? Many walk in their beliefs...a human belief. We see religious fanatics in other religions that are fully engaged in their beliefs about God. They are waiting for the next life for their first glimpse at the...

In the OT men had to sanctify themselves...and be clean according to the law...eating only what was according to the law. In the NT all that has been done away with...because the holiness has changed. Now we enter into Christ to partake of his life. To deny this is frustrate the grace of God in...

Amen. By faith Enoch was translated...just as we by faith are also translated to walk in the Spirit. If we live in a way that is pleasing to God...He takes us into the Spirit. Col. 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

That's funny. I've tried talking with you...about basic things like reading things that are in the bible...without adding other words that change the basic and simple meaning. It is impossible to reason with a person who is dishonest in their reading of the bible. Something has to happen for...

You're doing it again....being unreasonable. Taking shots...and being disrespectful. Not esteeming a certain day is not a desecration. But you are reducing believers in value to conform with your limited understanding. Now that is the real desecration.

Amen. And hopefully some people are here to encourage faith and a deeper connection to God. That's my purpose here. To sort out the half-truths and to unpackage what God has given us in the form of access to His grace. But in lieu of a deeper connection to God...there's always petty arguments...

It's a mind field out there. I don't think I could ever be a Christian based on what I've seen of Sunday Christianity. Only when I could see through what men have done with the faith...through actual encounter with God...could I see my way through the quagmire.

This is not about just a bible knowledge based on reading. As is plainly seen....the bible is used to say very contradictory things by men. People espouse private interpretations. This is about experience before God. Unless we are fully cleansed from all sin...we cannot go before God. This is...

I am being respectful. And reasonable. You were going on about being discredited...as if what you are saying were the truth. Look at the tone of your own posts...see to your own ways. What I'm saying is that you have your heart on your sleeve about an issue that is not pertinent to any kind of...

I agree that God imputed righteousness to Lot. But I think you are seeing it differently. To impute means to attribute something that is merited. So then we can impute bravery to a soldier or endurance to an athlete. God is the one who judges righteousness. But you believe you understand this...

Those are the river systems....or spirits...or demarcations. God saves people from every river system. It all depends on what we do with what we have been given. There is a prophetic stream throughout the bible about this. You have heard of personal spiritual warfare? Why is there a fight? It...

If you want to identify as a dirty rotten sinner...whom God can't see....you can do that.

Something that IS prophetic.

That is a reference to the 4 eternal destinies...the 4 spirits of heaven. Arba rouchot hashamayim...and the 4 ENDS of heaven...Arba ketsot hashamayim. The 4 ENDS are the four outcomes...or destinies of heaven. Job says...what shall be my end (kets)? or...what shall be my destiny? Also God...

Very well said. I especially liked when you said...Our Lord did not receive honour from men (see I corrected the spelling from "honor" ;) ) ....so how can we look for honour and respect from men?

Whenever I see this thread I'm thinking ...yes...an encounter and a visitation from God. Why wait? We can encounter God and walk in the light right now. (But there is the cross to go through first.) My testimony is a walk in the light...in fellowship with God in the Spirit. It seems very...
