By church attendance do you mean to a building with a spire and a cross on top, with pews and an altar with another cross on the wall? Do you mean fellowshipping with the back of somebody's head in front of you? Wherever two or more crosses are depicted,plus a bell, there I am in that building????

...The flesh is sanctified BY what it is carrying!!! :)

All men who are not in Christ sin in the flesh. Those who are in Christ do not sin. In Christ there is no sin. Are you saying that we sin IN CHRIST? This shows that you have not yet experienced the abiding in Christ. You are advocating an old testament type of walk that is under the law of sin...

Should Christmas celebrate Christ?

You are failing again to see the gospel and the exchanged life of one who has surrendered to God in Christ. In ME dwells no good thing, but Christ is working perfectly through me...only you are thinking that YOU have to be good like God or else you just give up and blame your body for sinning...

The message itself doesn't save anyone. It is taking the message to God and requesting it's fulfillment that gets us an audience with God. If He is satisfies with our sacrifice in heart He will bestow the promises of the message to us. So the message tells of the availability of the blessing of...

The present habitation of flesh is lowly in comparison to the one that true disciples of Christ will receive in the next age. Perspective is very important to understand the bible properly. The next age will be on a new earth where things like skin colour, race, language, gender and culture...

We are not saved by declaring ourselves believers in the blood of Jesus to cover us. That is a pipe dream. We are saved through repentance followed by a new life in Christ with the power (grace) to walk just as Christ. As He IS so are WE in this world.

Rom_8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Those who don't understand the gospel would make Jesus a sinner because he was a man. But Jesus took on the LIKENESS...

We are being saved to be worthy of the kingdom...an eternal kingdom.

Very good! Mat_10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

Do you lay on hands to receive the Spirit? Or do you function in a worldly capacity at social functions...are they the same in your view?

A gospel of power! We are actually created to do the works of God. We are not created to be saved. You testify of dead works because that is all you know. Maybe your flesh is sinful. But a disciple of Christ has Jesus within making him a TEMPLE of God. We have this treasure in EARTHEN...

So you agree that grace is the power to be exactly as Jesus...holy and perfect?

You are creating a false set of choices. The gospel is neither of your polemics. It is the POWER of life in Christ exhibited for the world to see and glorify God. Salvation needs to be seen today by the world. Otherwise we are not salt and light in this world but just more deluded religious...

Christians do not have a sabbath day...but a sabbath Lord.

In which realm does the intellectual apply his ideas....in the flesh or in the Spirit? Do you have friends or do you hire professional friends for special occasions? Are we to have wives or hire professional escorts for special occasions? Do we have older brothers in Christ or do we hire...

And we of the nations are grafted into Israel individually to become one people having ONE Shepherd!

The bible speaks of a real salvation...today. You are talking of an eternal security based on a belief system. Your disappointment is reserved for later who do not live IN faith today. Besides being contented in yourself, what is the fruit (today) of your faith? Grace gives us actual...
