Actually she said that the NC is unconditional which makes obedience a sort of unimportant hobby. Either we need to be faithful or not. Enough confusion already.

Amen! This understanding ....although plainly stated in the bible...isn't understood very well if at all usually. It gets in the way of dogmatic teachings.

We are commanded to love as He loves. If you enter into Christ you will do the same as He did. We overcome through His grace (power) so then to sit on thrones as He will. That is the gospel....based on a new life in Christ. Are you sure that you are not just making provision for the flesh....by...

"gadar perets, post: 435955, member: 7741"]Yes, we are holy though Yeshua. As such, we are expected to live holy lives. 1Pe 1:15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 1Pe 1:16 since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." To keep the Sabbath is to...

"gadar perets, post: 435961, member: 7741"] Romans 3:31 is about the law of YHWH. Romans 9:30 is referring to the law of righteousness. My righteousness comes through Yeshua, not through my law keeping. Therefore, I do not throw out any possibility of righteousness like the Jews did. I am...

Faith and faithfulness are conditions that are meant to come from us. How does somebody walk on water? Are there not conditions? (faith) Is walking on water unconditional? So you are asking the wrong questions and therefore getting the answers wrong. You need to concentrate on getting the...

You were trying to make a distinction between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God. A lot of people get tripped up on terminology....like the gospel of grace. It is all about God's kingdom...which IS in the Spirit. Very few have seen into this realm. That is why there is so much...

"gadar perets, post: 435950, member: 7741"]Was Paul doing the same when he wrote, "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: Yea, we establish the law" (Romans 3:31)? Was Paul doing the same when he told us the things we should not perform in the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21, most of...

I don't think people are getting that outer darkness is itself an eternal destiny...quite apart from the lake of fire. "...to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever" When religion is ramped up...reading skills diminish very quickly.

There is nothing WE can do to be holy. The ONLY way to be holy is to enter into Christ. Any other effort in this regard is mixture. However we ARE to learn righteousness. This is about character...not religious observance. So that is the one thing we are to do as much as WE can. But mixing up...

"Stranger, post: 435871, member: 7282"]The Gospel of Matthew is the Gospel of the Kingdom. It presents Jesus Christ as King of the Jews, Messiah, King of Israel. In (Matt. 5-7) The King has come and is laying down the laws of that Kingdom as promised to Israel in the Old Testament. This is...

There is no such thing as a Hebrew any more. Any more than there are Vikings. We must be careful to take ourselves too seriously in our estimations of ourselves. Watch out for pride. As they say....ego is not your amigo.

Under Christ ALL have been deemed sinners who walk according to the flesh. But you are espousing a further performance in the flesh based on law...and ignoring grace...the power that causes us to permanentlty cease from our carnal works...which is the original purpose of the Sabbath. So then you...

Many Christians get confused about how righteousness works. We have a free gift of God's righteousness when we abide in Christ. But to remain in Christ is very difficult...kind of like walking on water. But we are to learn righteousness as well....apart from the gift of God's righteousness...

Yes. That connection has different levels...from hearing to perceiving to seeing. All by faith. That is the high calling in Christ...so that we can learn to be as we are in the Spirit...but all the time. We learn to walk in His love. This is holiness. If this is too difficult for us...then we...

Also...the great condition of the NC is faithfulness. If we are not faithful to Him...then He will reject us.

The New Covenant is based on the law of faith. A faith that enters into grace...which is the power over sin, the world and the devi;. So then the law of sin is based on actual connection to God. With that connection comes the knowledge of God leading to character...and the full stature of...

Our concern is with the NC. And that covenant is conditional.

All covenants require a two-way agreement and performance. God's part is done....but we need to come into the full provision of Jesus in order to do as we are commanded to do. The New Covenant is a harder covenant to keep...in the natural strength...but we have access to the power that...

All of these attributes are ours when we put on Christ. I'm not talking about the initial grace as most of us need to go to God for the fulness of the power found when we abide in Him.
