Hi Wilson,

Was Jesus born differently?

Was he not conceived, and born of a woman?

Of course he was tempted as we are-temptation is from within.

He was an overcomer and he encourages us who are in him to become ovecomers by grace.

hi KW,

There is no scriptural support for your idea the Spirit is given at water immersion.

Usually hands were laid on for the giving of the Spirit.

Hi KW,

“Rom3 21f

“but now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference; for all have sinned ;and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his…[Read more]

Hi KW,

As it is written ;there is none righteous, no not even one.rom.3.10

Except you?

Hi GB,

Through the INTELLECT?

That does not come from the Teacher as it finds no echo in scripture.

Back to the drawing boards.

Hi KW,

Put on the new man who is Christ.

Be covered with his robe of righteousness.

Your righteousness otherwise cannot exceed that of the Pharisees.

Mt5.20

Hi KW,

Tartarus is not specified as a home for men.

Stay within what is written.

Hi KW,

God has indeed credited some that scripture names of faith as righteous.

It was not their works but by grace.

But only about Jesus is it said that he was given the fullness of the Spirit.

Hi KW,

God used all the apostles.

They were led by the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing.

Attempting to develop your own righteousness is folly.

You cannot match the righteousness of Christ freely available to you

Salvation is not for the self righteous. Those who would save themselves will be lost.

Hi KW,

God counted faith as righteousness for SOME.

Put on the breastplate of righteousness.

Hi KW,

Did you not put on the breastplate of righteousness?

eph 6.14

Hi KW,

Your turning to Judaism shows your lack of faith in putting on the righteousness of Christ.

You still think you must save yourself it seems .

Hi,

The key to eternal life is the Spirit of life.rom8.11

God gave the Spirit to the men of old and to the prophets.

God can take the Spirit away,  David pleaded with God not to do so.

Ps 51

Hi KW,

God saves.

Hi KW,

So for you salvation is by self effort and not grace?

Hi KW,

Are you not yet CLOTHED WITH CHRIST in baptism?

Hi kW,

You seem to be diverting from reality in defence of your false premises.

Animals??

Hi KW,

Do you imagine that you have some sort of an advantage over other believers by trying to serve two covenants?

There is no longer jew and gentile.

Hi KW,

The saved leave behind what is old to grasp the new.

To hope for salvation using both belt and braces shows lack of understanding of the new covenant that Jesus brought
