MF…. You say GOD is not to be understood by scripture plus our minds, to say (understood) is a process of the MIND. you cant separate the mind from understanding. The only thing is the SPIRIT lead mind understands the things of God, the CARNAL led Mind does not understand the things of GOD. Neither can it. imo

malcom ferris….I some what disagree with you on what you have said in the above , You are presenting a case of obedience through a surrender vessel, as if this surrender is predicated on us. Like a person by himself surrenders and therefore is worthy to be saved. Fact is we are (CAUSED) to obey GOD, by GOD HIMSELF, our “surrendering” is a result…[Read more]

Quote (malcolm ferris @ Sep. 30 2008,13:20)I think the balance is in understanding the purpose of Law. Without a punishment there is no enforceability to the Law. But what does a Law abiding citizen need to fear of the Law or its punishments?Of course none of us are of ourselves law-abiding citizens – it takes the spiritual rebirth of Christ in…[Read more]
