I agree with your assessment! A biblical parabolic virgin is someone who has never engaged in the fornication of the world...ie...never mixed the Lord's will with a temporal power or benefit. We, as born again into the Israel of God, are grafted into Christ through a tribe...one of the 10...

Works based salvation is based on an ambition to be saved by something they have done. It is a checklist to be filled in. The modern notion of trusting Jesus for your assurance of salvation is also a works based salvation scheme. The checklist goes like....trusted Jesus for my eternal...

Free gift salvation ignores the command to be faithful. In what power are we to remain faithful in? Our own? Or His? So the gift of God is not salvation (for all time) but the ability to be conformed to the will of God. Otherwise we are building on a dead foundation. We must remain in Christ...

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, Through one man Adam all men have fallen, and through Jesus Christ all men can be redeemed...

At least the OP didn't try measuring in feet or yards. This list is very flawed! The true test of the real church is simple...Is it really led by the Spirit? Is it looking to make decisions or disciples? Is there real power from God being exhibited? Do ALL the members function? Do they love...

Notice how Jesus 's words are excluded from these types of debate. Or at least Paul's word, with what people think they mean, are given more weight than Jesus'. Would that we seek to interpret Paul through Jesus, rather than the other way around. Paul is speaking to people who are walking in...

It seems you speak with rhyme Do you do this all the time? Before I say good night welcome to the site! :)

So we can see Him where He is, and be like Him in this world.

Very good! :)

Amen! Very few see this. We are not to serve a man made institution, but rather serve the Lord and one another. Where the Spirit is there is liberty. How easily men are fooled to serve an entity other than God and declare a peace that isn't there.

Israel is by intimacy with God. All true Christians are of Israel. There is no more separation between the people of God. There is one flock and one shepherd Jesus Christ.

Oh KKK enough already. The bible is not a book about purity of race any more than the Nazis are true Christians. The real conspiracy is to set men against each other.

Christ is not doing the work for us. He works through us by empowering us to walk the same as He did on earth. Then we become as Paul, Peter, or any other saint. Not by our works, but through His powerful working of grace in us.

His grace is made manifest in our weakness and dependence on Him. We must continually choose to lay down our lives for Christ to be made manifest in us. We must carry our own cross daily.

Very well put and inspired! <><

God helps those whom He is pleased with.

Our fight is NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers.

Very good thoughts! I like the analogy of the church having to "embody" Christ. If we are the body of Christ then we must be able to truly embody Him. We have received of His Spirit and been BORN from above. But we will not truly embody Christ until we can reflect who is really IS. So we must...

Blessings to you Robbie! :) There is a gift of grace, there are gifts of the Spirit, but no gift of salvation (in an everlasting way). Christianity is meant as a means of equiping us for the race of faith and faithfulness here below. There is no gift that exempts one from taking part in life...
