That is what I'm referring to. There was a false teaching about this circulating around that sought to take away responsibility for edification away from believers and make it exclusively the responsibility of workers. But that is not the truth. WE are entirely responsible for what we choose...

Do you know what the kingdom of God is?

="GodsGrace, post: 432555, member: 7593"]Hi E A dead work is really not how you explained it above. Hebrews is a letter that was written to the Jews of Jesus's time. Dead works are works of the Law...works done under the Law and not under grace. Works of the law are things like circumcision...

The gospel is about the kingdom of God. THAT is the truth. No one who walks in the power of a human being can satisfy God.

I hope you aren't doing that "ministry" thing whereby Paul's ministry is being judged...rather than what everyone is doing. That is so blatantly false. Just compare with 2 Tim. 2. Every man...

So then imagine just how far off Christians are by not doing so. All sects are based on something that is missing...and true. But then what is the definition of a sect? Any given sect mixes truth with lies. Discernment is to be able to tell the difference. There is no sect that is 100% false.

A life that has penetrated into the kingdom of God. An entrance into Eden....fellowship with God. That is what the gospel is about.

Look at verse 12 above. For the master's use...every GOOD work. So then the corrolary to good works are dead works...or ,works of the flesh. There are many other references... like.. Heb. 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot...

Dead works. Works of the flesh. When compared with holiness this is referred to as "iniquity." Notice another place where this is stated. 2 Tim 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour...

Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. I was thinking about this this morning and it hit me that the world we are presently living in will melt away and even the galaxy we presently find ourselves...

Prosperity is according to the spiritual riches in Christ. As for finances...we aren't to think about it or worry about it. Not too much and no lack. A proper balance is important. If you have too much money...give the rest away. A Christian worker has support for physical needs. With food and...

Good points. In the days of the early church the only book of Scriptures was the OT in either it's Septuagint or Masoretic form. The NT was written to encourage people who were already familiar with spiritual life. It was written to churches. Knowing that many would get the NT writings wrong...

Life. New life according to the Spirit. A life that overflows with love, joy, and peace.

Check out Amos 5...it is about the virgin of Israel. 100 shall become 10....and then the 10 become 5. This is how we can understand the parable from a prophetic sense. And yes, the virgins who remain are the Bride. There is a "weeding out" process going on...even now. The guests are taken from...

I see it as scale. What we claim and what is available from God are vastly different. It is only as we look for more and refuse to settle for the reduced effects of grace that more becomes possible. Grace actually brings salvation. But we seem satisfied with the notion of this and the...

That would be...the holy. The righteous are only determined after the millennial reign of the saints...at the GWT judgment.

But who decides the scale? When does the miraculous gifts become raising the dead? When does a person begin to walk in the power that raised Jesus from the dead? When does a person cease from sin? What is being taught? Is it from an opinion...and what is from the very power and life of Jesus...

This kind of reasoning has led to so much confusion that we see today. It is from a human perspective...a perspective which is not found in the bible. So it has been cobbled together to make sense for people. But it is very misleading. People who have their works burned up don't just lack...

Jesus the Son of the living God.

What people should be asking is not whether there is such a thing as eternal security...but WHERE this security is to be found. When we walk in the Spirit we are walking in eternal life in a place that will soon be coming to overtake the world. We should should be seeking the kingdom of God.
