You are confusing the power of God with the ingenuity and ambitions of men. Those who surrender their lives to God are given a new life with a new nature that does not sin. We are saved AWAY from ourselves and into Christ. So a true Christian need never sin. That is...if he has learned to walk...

Your username!!! mere coincidence? I think not! :)

Yes! The new life without the new mind is soon recaptured and brought underthe old bondage. These are in facr worse off than before since there is no longer an "innocense" about the evil that is being done.

...and we are to reckon ourselves as bought slaves to Christ and His Lordship.

The reasoning of men. The letters recorded in the New Testament are not the comprehensive words of the 12. Do you write the fulness of everything whenever you write? The Gentiles had to be walked through things like babies. The Jews had more experience in these matters. To claim that Paul was...

We live in oerilous times. Life is easy...and the flesh is catered to at every turn. Even in the church. Actually especially in the church! Jesus laid out the cost of discipleship...to forsake ALL things for Him. But in most Christian circles this cost is not even considered. It simply is not...

You cannot make a one-time admission into the body as an eternal state. All men who are hired by a company will be given the same justification to be there. But when the work begins some of these will not measure up...these will be fired. Even MORE so will God let go of the ones who refuse to...

We receive grace (charis) and the resulting spiritual gifts (charisma) in order to advance in the kingdom. If we walk in the Spirit we will live...but if we walk according to the flesh we will die. This is directed AT Christians.

This is backwards! It is God who rules over men...men have no say in the ways of God. Man does not control his own destiny...God does. It is a naive error to think we can claim God for ourselves. If it is written that a man finds a date with a girl by asking her out does this mean that every...

A rare bit of understanding this is!

A man cannot claim Jesus' work for Himself. Jesus is the Lamb of God not the Lamb of men! It is God who justifies...not men.

By the Spirit!! We are to judge by the Spirit.

It is very human to go from one extreme to the other. In order to refute a salvation based on human effort...other carnal reasoners will say that God doean't expect any works at all. What is lost in both of these errors is the truth. We are meant to work through the Spirit and DO the works...

This is a false gospel. We are not saved in order to be saved. A shovel is not bought in order that we can say we have a shovel. Grace is the means given to us in order to fulfill the righteous and holy standards of God and to do the works of God through the Spirit. The lazy servant is called...

If we are following Christ we will have no time to try keeping laws in our spare time. Laws are meant for the lawless. Following Christ fulfills the law.

People see God as a bringer of peace to the world...for humanity's sake. This is wrong and backwards. Let the world get worse!!!! Maybe then some can actually wish to live for Christ instead of using Him to better this temporal world. Is Jesus a temporal politician with promises of a better...

There are two choices..dead works or works of the Spirit.

We have the mind of Christ to discern what thoughts are of men and what is the perfect will of God. The flesh is limited to it's own sense of reality. But Jesus is raised from the dead. All things are possible in Christ, unbelief notwithstanding.

He is risen indeed! Maranatha!

The fleshly realm is not the greater realm...so we from that realm do not decide whether or not we wish to accept the greater realm. That is for God to decide. Our job is to repent and surrender our lives to the death through the cross so that we are available to be given access to the higher...
