Actually, Richard, the victory on the cross of Christ is the victory over the sin nature that kept us in prison and in darkness. Jesus gives us that victory and sets us free from that which once alienated us from God. This victory is real! We overcome through Christ in us....the hope of glory...

The truth is foolishness to the carnal man. I receive your remarks as proof that you do not understand the gospel, but rather have turned aside to fables. The carnal man can indeed seek to believe and trust in a salvation scheme...but this is precisely what Jesus is warning us about when He...

A schizophrenic will claim it is the voices that are evil...and that he cannot help himself. This is Richard's argument for the gospel...we become schizophrenics by believing we are in the Spirit. So we sin but it isn't really us sinning...we are powerless in our spirits to stop sinning. So the...

This is precisely the heresy that John was trying to correct in John1. The flesh is the temple of the Holy Spirit for those who are truly born from above. John doesn't say...his spirit doesn't sin...it says...a man born of the Spirit cannot sin. Your unbelief forces you to do the mental...

You actually teach the denial of the power of Christ. Let not many of us become teachers... You teach that grace is a get into heaven free card. You teach sin in the flesh, but salvation of the spirit because you trust in a religious formula that has Jesus dying for your constant...

So Richard you are ignoring this.. what do you make of this verse... 1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. Without mocking WHAT DOES JOHN MEAN HERE? Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man...

It isn't so much Catholic doctrine (nothwithstanding the Marian heresy) that is wrong, but Catholic practice.

You very curiously omit the Lord part of the relationship! Of course to you obedience is works so Jesus cannot be your Lord...

Do you ever try not to sin? or you indulge every whim of the body? So if you indulge the flesh...you are a heathen. If you try NOT to sin then you are trying to work righteousness.

Giving lip service to the work of Christ on the cross is not the same as forsaking all for Christ in keeping with the MESSAGE of the cross!

Very good! It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them. Eccl. 7:18

That Jesus Christ is come in the flesh....that God has joined Himself to His own creation. Now we can be even as Christ through the power of the cross and the resurrection. We are made holy through HIS life in us. So we are reconciled to God.

Those who mock the power of Christ are condemned in their sins. In spite of the fact that you are just a mocker of the truth I will ask (for the sake of others)...what do you make of this verse... 1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God...

The work of Jesus? You are preaching works... I am the one preaching the works of Christ. You are preaching death through a continued commitment to sin (and mocking those who have faith in God) in the face of the works of God.

So you have a Jesus is my buddy salvation. Nice! Jesus serves you!!! You must feel very important to have such a distinguished servant!!! Of course you have it backwards! Hey, we all like being served, right??? But Jesus is the Lord and not just a buddy and a good servant for us to use when we...

Obedience is better than sacrifice. Those who obey the Lord will be saved. Those who hear and don't do what the Lord says are fooling themselves. There are too many verses that say this very thing to even begin to quote. But Jesus said it in the parable of the house built on sand or on the...

You are smokescreening here and mocking what you don't understand. A Christian doesn't just believe in a scheme as presented by televangelists. You have been brainwashed. The TV is meant for entertainment..not truth. The truth in Jesus Christ is according to a divine birth in the Spirit by...

Not hearers are justified but doers are justified. This is so basic to the faith. Hearing in the verse means to take seriously. It's kinda like this. The difference between a rowboat and a motorboat. The would-be motor boater receives the free gift of a motor. He then goes down to the boat...

We don't rest in His work on the cross...we rest in the Lord and experience the cross ourselves so that He works through us. Doing nothing is just that...doing nothing. We need to be DOERS of the word and not only HEARERS, deceiving only ourselves (and whoever is foolish enough to listen)

You are stuck in the diapers of the very first moment when one realizes that Jesus is the Son of God. You refuse to grow up since that would be like dying to you. And it IS dying! We must die to the former life and be buried with Christ so that we live a NEW life in HIS power. That is the...
