    1 John 3:9.... not 1 John 1:9

    Reader. 1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become "the new creation in Christ". This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there. However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation...

    Jesus : our Sanctification... 1 Corinthians 1:30

    - Jesus is our Sanctification. Do you have Him in you? Are you born again? So, when we are "In Christ", we are as sanctified as God Himself. = "as Jesus is.... so are the born again IN this World". Now, before you pop a cork, let me detail that for you.. Reader. Our Discipleship, is not our...

    Follow Paul into the renewed mind.

    - Before Paul was born again he said that he was blameless in the law. He had kept it, and later found that Christianity is not based on that,..... and discovered that in his inner man there is a tremendous conflict that occurs if he tried to strive to be holy in his flesh, (self effort)...

    Fulfilling can be either of the Law or of the Spirit. Discuss.

    Hi there, So I have been wrestling with Evolution some time now, and it has finally spilled out into theology. The reason theology has become involved, is that I have begun to distinguish between the Law and the Spirit. Evolution takes advantage of the Law, making out obedience to be slavery...

    You are going to feel awful about your sin, for the rest of your life - why not let the Holy Spirit make you feel good about the afterlife?

    Hi there, So I have sort of turned inside out, pursuing faith. I was vexed for a long time, about my sin and how to overcome it. At times I would feel fine, then at others I would be vexed; then I would feel like "I have to do something about this 'feeling'!". Eventually, thinking about the Law...

    Time occurs, in the space provided for God's Spirit - no space provided for God's Spirit, no time (discuss).

    Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

    How to teach : Salvation #2

    - Let me show you a Mystery. A disciple, is a follower of Jesus. And you can be that one, and not be born again and on your way to Hell. Dont Believe in Hell? Well, thousands went there today and tomorrow and yesterday, and now they believe in it. Remember that... A Christian, is not a...

    For there is no difference for all have sinned.

    Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased. However, with-in us is our soul (Heart/mind/will/emotion), is also what affects the choices in which in which an individual chooses to do whatever they will with their flesh. However what does it...

    When the Devil doesn't know, which way you'll go: you become the first enemy (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is a simple bit of wisdom, that I just want to tease apart a little, and see what it means: The Lord struggled with this, always telling people not to talk about Him, asking His Disciples to wait for His resurrection before they told people about what they had seen (from...

    If you have given up salvation, press on for redemption

    Hi there, So I have had a very easy light life, born to a rich family, given a good education, everything supplied. However, I never understood what kind of relationship I had with God. I had in a sense given up on salvation, not because I hated it, but because I wanted something more. This...

    If Philosophy gave an a priori roadmap, to scientific discovery: would Science heed it?

    Hi there, So it has dawned on me, that maybe there is something that Philosophy has to offer "Science". Science defines a method of falsifiability (according to Karl Popper), whereby hypothesis are entertained, tested and verified. The point I would make, is that if you know what manner of...

    Scriptures pertaining to Christ's grace.

    Perhaps you will find something encouraging here. Luke 2:40 New King James Version 40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. John 1:17 New King James Version 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came...

    Working out : your Salvation

    - The verse partially says....... "work out your Salvation". It does not say...."try not to lose it". It does not say..... "work out your discipleship". So, what does the verse mean? How do you "work it out"? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

    A Spiritual Trap

    - Let me show you a trap.... A spiritual trap. Its this... You get saved, born again. So, now you are eternally secure. But then, you have to learn how to perfect your discipleship....and that is not to learn how to try to be good. So, you find some church, and the pastor is a heretic. But...

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    There appears to be some confusion as to what actually constitutes salvation, how it is procured, and how, even whether, it needs to be retained. There are threads all over the place discussing various aspects of the gospel from go to woe (perhaps an unfortunate pun) but what prompted this...
