The problem with judging from oneself is that one is doing so blindly. WE do not have enough wisdom to judge spiritual things...on our own. So impossible sounding things are rejected through a lack of faith based on a lack of wisdom based on a lack of understanding. But you forget that it is God...

There are some of this forum that see themselves as experts on the law. These presume to understand God's ways through a superficial perusal of the bible. In fact...superficiality is seen as saving faith...those who have sought the Lord, experienced the Lord and serve the Lord have it all...

A comforting brother in the midst of mockers...:)

It is neither as it is not possible for a nation to be Christian. If we see Christianity as a man made and man sustained religion then yes America is a nation of...Christendom.

Eternal life is a type of life we can walk in today by abiding in Christ...immortality in the body comes later.

How did you know that I have seen the Lord??? I do know many that have never seen the Lord but believe in the whole testimony of the bible...including the parts that sound impossible. With God..ALL things are possible.

I find the people here very tolerant of those who come from Toronto...and are willing to admit it!!! :) :lol:

It amazes me that people who don't believe God are seeking to attribute their salvation to believing in God. It is too easy to compare oneself to Abraham. Very few have faith like he did. When God told him he would be the father of many nations...although old and not able to conceive children...

Welcome!!!!

Sin comes in through the lusts of the world and of the flesh. If you are crucified with Christ you are dead to this world and the fleshly lusts. This death to the self and to the world makes us alive to God. 2Co_4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life...

There is also a spiritual dialectic without which we cannot see the truth. Let's look at a biblical issue like a big heavy pole....if you lift it at one end you only have one aspect of the truth....if you lift at the other end you get the other aspect. So denominations are created when people...

You are blessed to see this! So few do!! :)

Amen! ;) Beautifully said!

Again...as long as by saved you mean the same thing as a person coming through a war having lost all his limbs, his sight and his hearing...but still alive....then I agree with you. Who just wants to be saved????? The bible may say that the disciples in that time were crucified according to...

I have none since I have no opinion to promote. It would have to be in the form of a testimony to the truth writen in the bible. What you disagree with is the writings of the bible...your overview is actually an edit of the verses that you have selected to support your opinion...nothing more.

Gal_6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 1Co_1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

It is the walking in the Spirit that saves us and sanctifies us. There is no salvation at present outside of abiding in Christ. No one has a saved ticket in their pocket. No one owns salvation. I am saying that performance is a fruit of being in God's presence. The chastisement comes when we...

That's great Rach!!! :) The enemy is very busy stealing potential disciples away from Christ by inoculating them against the truth from the get go. There are very few in these times that have experienced walking in resurrection power. It is probably the best kept secret in the world. The battle...

If a person cannot stop sinning through a divine nature then Jesus died and was resurrected for nothing...Adam still wins.

What I deny is the ability to declare oneself righteous. Only God Himself can declare a person fit for eternity. A covenant is between 2 parties. We have our part to play in that what God has started we must be dilligent to allow Him to continue in us...not go off half baked claiming we are...
