What about a man as a mother? Why not go all out!

She was merely human. She was no different than any other woman.

The truth is "hidden" behind the words. Just like the eternal things are hidden behind the temporal things. There is a spiritual plane of reality juxtaposed with what we see with our eyes. But only by faith can we walk in this reality. We intuit what cannot be seen...we grasp the truth by faith...

One who practices sin DOES have a sinful nature. Just like one who indulges in gambling has a gambling nature. Sinful man is carnal man...a man who walks in his own light (which is darkness) and his own strength.

Jesus is not a cover for the sinful man...he leads a man to the cross in order that he might become a new creation in Him through being (actually) born again of the Spirit. The sinful man is condemned already...but Gods calls us to come to His Son by forsaking our old condemned lives and be...

You must admit that it is the claiming of righteousness WHILE WE SIN SO EXTRAVAGANTLY that leads to bringing shame on Christ and the gospel. We are saved...not from the responsibility of sin...but from sin itself. Those who still sin are yet incomplete in their salvation...and this has eternal...

I believe that Scott is making a stand against the easy-believism that is so prevalent in the churches today. These are the pew warmers...the lip service crowd that goes along with the status quo of religious consumerism. In a rush to get the pews filled the standard of God has been set aside so...

You have hit on the issue here. His Love is shown through the power He gives. He doesn't condone sin because of Jesus' sacrifice. But He is training us to become as obedient as His own Son.

The power that works in us IS the grace that saves us. It is undeserved but it works in us...and it is not an it but a He...It is Christ in us. It is Christ that saves us. We are saved as we remain in Him.

What the law was unable to do...because of the weakness of the flesh...the grace of God accomplishes through the strength of God. It is by grace that we are kept from doing what we used to do. It is by grace that we are born anew. It is by grace that our flesh life is crucified with Christ so we...

Well we see that God judges impartially. I think too many Christians are brainwashed into believing that God is Christian in a denominational sense. He makes no distinction between a Christian or a non-Christian according to their person. He does give grace to the humble though. A Christian is...

Greetings Notice what is stated here... Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the...

Grace is the power of God towards us. It is HIS strength in our weak vessels.

Before a man sins in the flesh he has already sinned in his mind. A spiritual law goes further than a behaviour law. Jesus said if we contemplate a deed against our brother...we have already done it before God. A moral law is about keeping the outward show under control...like the Pharisees...

I thought modern evangelicals were assimilated into the "kill kill" mentality so prevalent among neo-cons!

That would be great! Jesus did not come to reform the ways of men...He came to bring us a new creation.

Spiritual maturity is that which maintains spiritual purity in a fallen world.

The law is spiritual not moral. Christianity is not a religion of morality. It is not man-centered but God centered.

Walking by faith does not include looking at calendars. But walking by sight does.

It is good to quote Gandhi when discussing Indian independence! ;)
