Tim Kraft,It is true that God cleanses us of all our unrighteousness through faith in Jesus the Anointed and that is why if we sin we confess them instead of concealing them.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 11 2010,14:18)Hi KW, Will you know when you stop sinningin God's eyes?I am going to speculate and say “no” as Paul wrote:1 Corinthians 4:3-5(KJV) reads:Quote But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

George,Have you read and understood the account of Paul’s stop in Jerusalem that is in Acts 21?   I ask because it contradicts you by clearly stating that Paul kept the law even as a Christian.  It also states just as clearly that he thought that is was just and right that the other Jewish believers did the same and were as such zealous for the…[Read more]

George,The Laws of Mosses are traditions for the children of Israel and to some extent to the Gentiles that live among them.   From what I understand they mostly apply to the land that God set aside for the Hebrew people.  They were not meant to apply to Gentiles who did not live in the land of the twelve tribes.   The exception to that is th…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 09 2010,04:05)Hi KW, There is nothing written about Jesus being anointed with the Spirit of holiness prior to the Jordan is there? It is after that time the Spirit did God's powerful ministry through him.It is not written he had the spirit or did not have the spirit early in life  but it is a point of faith that no human…[Read more]

Terraricca,That relieves my concern.  I agree that Jesus is the light and belief that he is the Anointed One of God leads us to receive and live by the Holy Spirit.  In this way we become one in righteousness with Jesus and God.
