Hi Davidl,

Should we not have serious doubts about teachings that cannot be found in the bible but only in the mouths of men?

Whom are we following?

Hi KW,

It is SIN IN THE FLESH that is condemned, not the flesh itself.

Hi KW,

You mean sin that is alive in us?

Hi KW,

WE are rewarded for the work Jesus did??

No we inherit because of what he did and are carried along in the work of the Spirit.

Poor vessels – that God is at work in to will and to do.

Flesh contributes nothing

Hi,

The Word was speaking through Jesus.

The Word was God

Hi LU,

The Word was with God and was God.

But the human vessel was conceived just like any man.

And the contents of that vessel manifested God on earth.

We can follow him but cannot follow a demigod

Hi LU,

When the earthly people saw a man speaking they attributed everything to the man.

But God was in him reconciling the world to Himself.

Hi LU,

You mean the Word?

Jesus was conceived in Mary.

Hi KW,

Your term I refer to.

What does it mean?

Hi KW,

Sinless or forgiven?

Righteousness is in the eyes of God.

Hi KW,

Angels are sent to Tartarus. Do men go there?

Is paradise spoken of as a waiting place?

Hades is a waiting place.

Hi Mila,

Yes.

A start.

The kingdom is like a fisherman pulling in a net and some fish must be discarded.

Hi,

Seek ye FIRST the kingdom

Hi,

It is a level playing field.

All have sinned and all must also repent.

All are welcome to go through the open door of Jesus Christ.

The religious traditions of men are worse than useless and some an affront to God

Hi,

The law has not disappeared and those who seek salvation through it will find it impossible because now perfection is the standard.

Thus the synagogue is now called the synagogue of Satan.

Hi,

Yeshua, who was born under the Law, was completely obedient to the Law and fulfilled it.

Being sinless he did not need the washing by John but fulfilled all righteousness.

Then he offered a new way through men being joined with him and attaining salvation under his robe.

Hi,

As Ed shows the hope of man is on earth where the brothers shall reign for 1000 yrs.

Heaven at death for those who think they are good enough is a favourite earthly myth.

Hi KW,

At best we are as the prodigal son whose filth is covered by the robe of the king.

Or as Joshua in Zech 3

There is no room for boasting about our works.

Hi KW,

Jesus is our righteousness.

The Spirit teaches about these matters

Jn 16 8-11

Hi KW,

If we are led by the Spirit it is into paths of righteousness though we might never see it ourselves.
