Yes.

Yes but we didn't have access to the new divine nature until Christ.

...or for you... (Not instead of us)...but as an example.

The Lord is waiting for us to get it together. He has provided us with all the requirements for unity...but we are not looking to Him. Jesus is coming back for a Bride that is without spot or wrinkle. We need to attract Jesus back to Earth. When we become a functioning Body...the Head will...

Of course. We can walk in the power that raised Jesus from the dead. We can walk in the righteousness of a holy God. We are a new creation where ALL things are possible. We can walk in the Spirit...

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I like this statement... a reflection of their own prejudices. This is truth.

The bible compares us to God. Compared to God, no one has any strength...no one seeks...no one is righteous. IOW even righteous people will sin. There is no one so righteous that they don't sin (that is until we put on the righteousness of God.) We need to look for balance in the bible. We...

That's the 1st resurrection...the Bema seat judgment.

The resurrection of damnation? The GWT judgment is not just damnation. Only those whose names are not written in the book of life are cast into hell fire. It is a silly notion that books would be opened and no names were found therein...that kind of futility is only found in this world not...

In a great house there are vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour. There are the wise and the foolish. There are the humble and the proud. If you look throughout the bible history you will always see this pairing. It begins with Cain and Abel...then Jacob and Esau. Jesus describes the ones...

Yes, the dead. I'm glad we see it the same way. :)

A better question is...how do we get onto the path of life? Saved is for the end...no one wins a race until the race is finished. We are redeemed to run a race...until the day of Redemption.

:rolleyes:

The Lord's table is based on Passover...with the focus on the 3rd cup....the cup of redemption. The 4th cup is the cup of taking and bringing to the land. This is not part of the Lord's table,... curiously indeed.

We can't receive honour from men AND God. We have to choose one or the other. The answer to this is to embrace obscurity...and let God do as He wills. We are to embrace powerlessness and a lack of position...all the things that men crave and respect so much. But God's ways are different.

Actually, we have house-churched for about 20 years now..

Curiously the word "salvation" in the original text is plural. 16:13 I will take the cup of salvations, and call upon the name of the LORD. Psalms 116:13 Kos yeshouot... In Hebrew thinking one is saved TO something as well as FROM something else. Not everyone who is saved from something is...

We must make a distinction between those who have heard the gospel and rejected it...and those who haven't yet heard it. Once we become aware of something then it becomes our responsibility...but not before.

"Enoch111, post: 435417, member: 7853"]1. The reason why Christ made the preaching of the Gospel to every creature extremely critical is that a person's response to the Gospel determines his or her eternal destiny. So the "judgment" is made already while the person is alive. I agree. And he...

Like meeting in simplicity around the Lord and breaking bread from house to house like the early church? Sounds far-fetched....(like fetched from heaven type of far)
