Or actually experience the visitation of the Lord and come up understanding the bible for the first time... which then sounds strange to the majority.

Father and Son.... It's a lot less religiously limiting to change the names...so as not to get the brain synapses misfiring with previous indoctrinations. I think maybe this would be a good exercise...change all the names and read the bible again with a fresh perspective. :)

"Enoch111, post: 439743, member: 7853"]Every Christian should "push" (promote and proclaim) grace since God's infinite grace is the basis of our salvation. As to understanding it the least, perhaps you too have a misunderstanding, as I will point out next. People should push /promote...

LOL....OK At least you're tracking! :) But there are two (2) men named Jim in the text. One being sent and the other doing the sending. If you understand this then you will also understand how the bible is written... Take your time with this... Zech. 2: 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He...

First a lesson in logic and reading comprehension...(before the Holy Spirit inspires it would help if people learned some reading comprehension) If a text says..."Thus says Jim, I want to let you know that Jim has sent me. My name is Jim and Jim has sent me." In the above quotes...how many...

The bible says...Grace is deceitful. or...Favour is deceitful. שקר החן Skeker hachen Why? Because smug people are not careful. Spoiled people live in a false sense of security. Favour spoils a humble attitude....and all this because of sinful flesh. The fear of the Lord is meant to protect...

Let's take this verse... Rom. 4:5 But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Our faith is counted for righteousness IF we allow God to justify the ungodly...of other religions, races, traditions...whatever. God has been...

It seems that the people who push grace the most understand it the least. To have grace means to not judge others, yet the most judgmental people in the world are grace pushers. And this follows human nature. Unless the flesh has been dealt with at the cross...the old nature will latch onto...

A person who goes through the door is no longer ungodly....so then you are in error still. You are trying to fit God's ways in a box that you are comfortable with. A person who knows God would never think of doing such a thing.

This is how iniquity works... A Christian believes He/she is saved...and somehow that qualifies them to judge all things. But show that same "saved" person a verse with a difficult truth...and that person will deny it. So then the judgment is carnal...not spiritual. It is only spiritual people...

If you really want to understand the bible...you need to try not eliminating one truth by misunderstanding another and having them cancel each other out. You are the one who chose that verse that says God justifies the ungodly....but you actually don't believe it. If I recite the verse back to...

Old habits die hard. I think we all have that issue in one way or other. It also seems that once a person has read a verse a certain way...it is very difficult to see it another way. We get conditioned into thinking a certain way...and are oblivious to any other possibility...even if the present...

justbyfaith, post: 439697, member: 7886"] If someone is a worker of iniquity they are not born again. It is not that they are condemned for that they didn't obey the Lord; it is that they are condemned for that they were never born again. Their disobedience is only the evidence to all who...

Dispensationalism denies that in Christ there is no difference between people. It is a conjuring of a scheme that has left out the Holy Spirit. So then anything taken from that source of thinking is carnal in nature...not spiritual or real. This error has gone a long way to creating a religious...

Stranger, post: 439592, member: 7282"]No, this is very wrong. Our own righteousness is not imputed to us. It is what we have. And is as filthy rags. God's righteousness is also His. It is not imputed to Him. Utter confusion. Your up is down and down is up. If God's righteousness is...

We fulfill the law through grace...which is the power to walk as Jesus walked. That is what the gospel is about. We can have a share in the life of God.

Spiritual things cannot be understood by the natural mind....enter dispensationalism.There is a judgment for all people...we all need to be accepted into the beloved. There are no guarantees in reality. We need to be faithful till the end.

Too true. What is lacking is experiential testimony of the living God....like we see in the bible. Actually knowing God...not just knowing certain verses and the doctrines that twist the meaning of the word. There is an experience of walking in Christ that the bible testifies of...but is very...

As for the Christian, we are simply awaiting the redemption of these mortal bodies. That means that we need to move into the life of Jesus right now as that will determine what we can expect at the final redemption. So then a holy person...will have the whole package....a new body, robes of...

I would say..."Do you believe we can enter into eternal life today?"
