    Absolutely! I will try to clarify the lesson in future posts...but I'm looking for a few verses that come at this from a different angle. OK Please take your time to understand this prophecy...Why does God wish to destroy the righteous??? Eze 21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me...

    It does but this is not the lesson Jesus is making....:) True...but this is not it either...;) He was actually proving how unjust he was... Hmmm...it is the TYPE of wisdom we are trying to uncover here. Not really...you haven't yet looked at Rev. 22:11 to help you see it. I'll post...

    I am crucified with Christ - The Word for the Healing of the Body, Today.

    The way to prepare for all sin is to walk in the Spirit. By doing this you shall not do those deeds. The old sin nature IS the old man...this needs to die in order to release the new nature to take over. By faith we walk in newness of life NOW. We HOPE for the redemption of the body...but the...

    The state of the church

    There is no "imputed" righteousness. God sees us as we are. Jesus was truly holy and so are we when we are IN Him. We come out of Adam (our old house) and move in with Jesus. We use the words of Christ as the doorway in order to believe INTo Him. So we abide in Christ and not sin. As Jesus IS...

    Why you as a Christian are as sinless as God is Holy....

    This thread is unbelievable....literally UN-believable. :wacko: Welcome to fantasy island!!!! :lol: I think the OP is a joke on the people here...It is playing "the opposite game" You cannot possibly get further away from the truth. So there is real value in what we are to avoid in it... I...

    Let's apply what I have laid out in previous posts in order to understand the sayings of Jesus that seem more difficult to grasp... Luk 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    We enter in by seeking anf finding. We believe into Jesus the way we enter a house. Jesus is the door..and His words are the door INTO Him. We come out of our own house and enter His. That is the message of John. There is no provision for just having a belief in Jesus while still residing in our...

    Righteousness

    OK. We must keep in mind that what God says about who lives and dies in the OT is binding on all. The OT was the bible of the early church. Paul specifically states that the OT is for instruction in righteousness. The church has long lost this understanding about righteousness. By losing this...

    Are you using protestant thinking?

    The state of the church

    Good points. It is actually the coming together of the saints that will spark this under the radar revival of the truth together with the true gospel of the kingdom. Do you believe in an imputed (pretend) righteousness?

    The state of the church

    The difference is that it is in prophecy. Jesus is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle.

    Righteousness

    Once you open up that kettle of fish (dispensationalism) then we get stuck with a gospel without obedience again. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God...

    The state of the church

    What is lacking is leadership. In the old days the enemy would just have to kill the shepherd and the sheep would scatter. So the state would burn the bishops at the stake or cut their heads off. Then OTHER leaders would take their place but whom the state did not take as a threat. So the church...

    Righteousness

    They are without excuse who behave unrighteously with the law or without the law. The law is not against the righteous. It is just that the righteous are unable of themselves to fully accomplish the law because the law is holy. So therefore by deeds of the law shall no man be justified. No man...

    The state of the church

    This thread has actually been hyjacked by the catholic agenda. We are not concerned on this thread about the accuracy of doctrine or dogma...but the poor practice that has led to the state of the modern church.

    Whom God loves..He coddles????

    Righteousness

    Mercy triumphs over judgment. Those who have pleased God will be shown mercy. It has to do with our heart attitude. The law is there to test us and our works. But the farmer was not trying to justify himself through works of the law...he was doing the law from his heart.....naturally! The...

    This is all true...but don't forget that God is merciful. Christians like to say that God gives "mercy for nothing". And these don't complain as long as God behaves they way they want...;) But God is more merciful than men are. :) Here is a little story I made up to illustrate my point. There...
