Miia,

I understand that other things seem to distract us at times. I hope things are all right for you and yours.

Miia,

The thief and all those that are saved from damnation outside the new covenant are saved as a result of those in the new covenant who by faith learn to live by the Spirit the receive when immersed in water in the authority of Jesus Christ.

Like Abraham before him the thief was credited with righteousness and the result of righteousness is…[Read more]

Nick,

You cannot match the righteousness of Christ freely available to you

I found nowhere in the AV of the KJV where it is written that the righteously of Christ is freely available to anyone.

It is written that:

Romans 3:21-22Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being…

Terrarica,

I see no controversy in your answers to 2 and 3.

Terraricca,

Paul spoke of the third heaven which is part of a Jewish-Christian teaching not mentioned in the OT. There is evidence of multiple heavens but the exact number is not mentioned. Some early teachings claim Seven while some relatively newer ones claim Ten.

There is also the mention Tatarus which is the place evil supernatural…[Read more]

Nick,

Being credited with righteousness was not just for the few. Abraham, Job, Zechariah, Elizabeth, Simon, and more are called righteous in Scripture lived before Jesus sacrificed himself.

All through his those that have faith in God be they Gentile or Jew have been being credited with righteousness. Marty’s words to me are in his last…[Read more]

terraricca,

Paul, or any other writer of the new testament, did not limit themselves to only speaking what was written but instead used reason based on Scripture and other things to preach the gospel and teach those that believed.

Your words are somewhat unclear but the bottom line of them is that you do not believe the words I speak.

It is…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Those that come into the light obey the gospel of Christ and so through faith both receive and live by the Spirit. Those that love the works of the flesh will not come into the light because they do not want to learn to live by the Spirit and forsake the deeds of the flesh.

The gospel is voiced in the spirit of truth and those that…[Read more]

Terrarica,

the spirit of truth that comes from God through his son ?

That is why the Spirit of God is also called the Spirit of Christ.

Nick,

The question is what did Jesus Christ accomplish by sacrificing himself as righteousness was already imputed to human beings of faith? The reward of righteousness is eternal life.

Nick,

Hi KW,

Did you not put on the breastplate of righteousness?

eph 6.14

I strive to ensure that every word I write and speak is true.

Terrarica,

Galatians 5:19-26Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the…

Nick,

Are you afraid of the passage I quoted from Scripture?

If not then why do you not address it.

Terrarica,

Matthew 7:12 and Romans 13:9 both make the point that the Law is summed up in the command to love.

John 7:37-39King James Version (KJV)

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that…

Nick

Yes, God saves but you are dodging what is written in Scripture.

Terrarica,

Scripture states God has the attribute of Love and that Love is the sum of the Law. Since Love is the sum of the Law then acts of Love are the fruit of the Spirit. In Galatians 5 Paul mentions love as being one of the fruits of the Spirit.

I do not believe love, duty, fear, etc. are separate for those that walk by the Spirit.…[Read more]

Nick,

Did you read the passage I wrote or were you too full of your own words?

Ephesians 4:17-19Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God…

Terraricca,

What do you believe is the real difference between what I wrote and what your did?
