Bits of dust that are frozen in the cooler temperatures. ;) If we are to be tried by fire then what is under the snow will be made manifest at judgment. There is no fooling God.

Sweeping sins under a carpet does not change the situation...it merely masks it. Those who believe in this form of justification are really only wearing a mask...like an actor. The exterior appears clean before men...but inside are all manner of vices and sins. Of course this is diametrically...

You are saying that Jesus only died for Gentiles?

There is a difference between our weak bodies and the carnal nature that gives drive to the flesh. The bible is concerned with the flesh NATURE that causes us to be rebellious to God. The carnal NATURE is what separates us from God. It is a life that is outside of God. This is not to be...

The deadliest enemy of a Christian is not the devil, or the world....but the self-life. This life stands in opposition to God. It seeks it's own way. Only after we have forsaken this life will we have to deal with the devil and the world that seeks to destroy us through the self life in others...

Exactly! ;)

You are either denying the deity of Christ or else the fact that He came as a man. If you think that God lacks the power to convert a man and abide in Him then you are still dead in your sins. You have yet to believe the gospel and be actually renewed.

Huge error here... Paul was not "first" to receive anything....the word is "foremost" as in needing it the most because he persecuted the church. In other words if Paul can be saved then ANYONE can be saved! If one who persecutes the church can be shown mercy then those who do far less harm can...

The process of sanctification is the process in continuing in the salvation that we received at redemption. Salvation is a process that continues as long as we live. We can never rest on our accomplishments....or become idle through a warped view of resting on His.

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1 explains the redemption; the salvation FROM Egypt experience...

In order to do the works that we were created to do in Christ...or to bury your talent like the wicked servant? Are we not created to do the works of God...not in our strength (dead works) , but His! (works prepared in advance? )

5 who are kept by the power of God (grace) through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. We have victory THROUGH Christ. Christ does not have victory instead of us. The grace (power) of God empowers us through faith on our part to overcome all things. So we are being...

Actually grace empowers man to obey the law. Grace isn't a magic show...or a willful blindness on God's part...no, it is the power of a new creation to do what the old nature could not do.

And to Christ!!! Yes!!!

Cast out of his usurping place in the heavenlies. I believe that the devil's fate is sealed but he knows he still has a bit of time left to wreak havoc before he is actually cast out. He knows his time is short because he has been mortally defeated at the cross.

There is merit to what you say...but the 10 northern tribes did not keep their identity as Israelites...they were outcasts. The Jews as we know (of Judah) kept their identity in the diaspora.

Through the Messiah we are grafted into Israel. We are the 10 lost tribes that have been sifted through the nations.[/center]

It is both Christ living His life through us, AND we living our life through Christ. We also must work to attain the stature of Christ. But we do this through faith. We make faith transactions as it were that increase our hold on the character of Christ. Peter explains this process here...

OK

It is called a "signature". You have access to it in your profile!
