Imputed/inplanted/grafted it is ALL God's RIGHTEOUSNESS.... It is all the same... IT IS CHRIST LIKE... Not some faulty or false sence of righteousness... It is a PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS God GIVES us to live in... And to live in us....

I would like it if you just thin on the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God for a second... This righteousness that GOD lets live in us... IT IS SPOTLESS, It is HOLY and it is STRAIGHT from God, therefore WITHOUT flaw!

Please get this... When god makes a person righteous, even as HE is trighteous, God makes that person LIKE JESUS...
That is why God says.... LITTLE CHILDREN (everyone on CC) LET no man DECIEVE you... He that does righteousness is rightoues as GOD is righteous.... That is why God lets HIS righteousness live in us, and we in HIM!

I just spent some time reading through some of the posts, and I can see most of you totally misrepresent the mercy of God! I see His mercy given to the broken, repentant sinner, who has come before the mercy seat, in real repentance.

Homeward, your testimony was a strong reminder of myself about 17 years ago, I came to Christ through the sinners prayer, told there was NO sin you could stop, since I was born a helpless sinner, saved by grace alone, repentance was never mentioned at all, because Jesus took my place on the cross, and now I was deemed righteous, even though I was still defiled in my heart.

I cried out to God every time I gave into my greedy flesh to watch some porn, or to get drunk, but all was well I thought, the mercy of God covered me, as well as His grace, atleast I accepted His righteousness, and just couldnt obey God from my heart, and crucify my flesh as commanded.

I was no better than the people who make this garbage(porn) and sell it to the world for profit, and sad to say most who profess Christ, and who are pastors are addicted to internet porn.

I hope you all would understand we are not saying we do it on our own, but we must come to the mercy seat forsaking our wickedness through repentance, and godly sorrow, and hope and pray God will grant mercy, and yes you can stop any vile sin on your own, you have free choice to do so.

To sum it up, I was NOT saved, I was told I was, I loved my flesh more than God, and fearing His promised judgement to those who disobey Him, and was told I could teach the young children in the church, because God isnt interesrted in you stopping your vile sins, he will help you stop, but meanwhile keep in yout mens group, and keep serving God, because you a a fithy, porn watching sinner, even tough God sees you as a saint!

Sorry, this is the lie from the pit, and many of you are under it!


You can fluff it up as much as you want, making excuses why you cant stop your rebellion against God, or why you do not have to forsake your evil and lustful desires.

Yes the mercy of God was tremendious, I deserve to be in hell right now, and had to flee the false church that teaches you were born a wretched sinner, you do not have to repent, you get saved in your sins, and the Billy Graham sinners prayer is all you need to get saved, presto, you are eternally secure IN your sins, God will clean you up in His timing, and repentance towards God and faith towards Jesus Christ, is a mere provision done for you!

I forsook the sin or porn watchng, along with many others, I stopped them through a season of godly sorrow, then the spirit of God filled me giving me the strength to now endure to the end, I can say that the blood of Jesus, who was a spotless sin offering, cleansed and purged my conscience from these dead works, I now walk in His strength, the old Tommy is dead, as I now walk in the light with Jesus Christ!


The mercy of God
Rom 9:15 For He said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
God is a God of mercy and compassion, He is the giver and taker of all life, and His mercy endures forever and ever. Now many teach that the mercy of God can be abused to the extent that a vile sinner, who is unrepentant before God, can also receive His mercy. I believe he can, but does God give His mercy and forgiveness to those still defiled, and living a lie?
I believe the gospel is clear on this, as to the many scriptures warning all sinners to repent, Luk 13:3 I tell you, No. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
The mercy of God I believe is extended to all who come to a saving faith, that includes real repentance and faith followed by deeds, proving we have repented, have gone through a crisis of conviction and have cleansed and purified our hearts, broken and ready to receive the holy spirit, having crucified our flesh with Christ, Galations 2-20, explains this well.
I also believe Gods mercy is extended to the whole world, 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. He demands repentance, a working faith in love, and an obedient heart, that has been cleansed by the blood of Christ in repentance 2 Corin 7:10 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but also defense; but also indignation; but also fear; but also desire; but also zeal; but also vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear in the matter.
God is merciful and longsuffering, and we are not to judge another's salvation, but we sure can judge their fruits, and conduct, as compared to scripture, as long as our obedience is fulfilled. 2Co 10:6 and having readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
I don't think God winks and overlooks sin in any way, shape or form, and the warnings are clear in His word, Psa 7:11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. The word is clear on who will enter the kingdom of God, and this entrance comes from the mercy of God, on the truly repentant heart, not a perfect heart as most would accuse, but a heart made pure, through repentance, and following the truth in scriptures.
The sad thing is, most churches teach you get saved as a vile sinner, that Jesus took you place and is your obedience or substitute, all sins are pre forgiven, and after you confess, and receive Jesus into your heart, you are declared saved, and righteous, not of your own accord, but that of the imputed righteousness of Christ.
So now Gods mercy declares a vile sinner pure, holy, and in His favor, because God can grant mercy to whom He pleases, but this goes against His command for us to repent, stop our sinning against Him, seek His mercy after we make a strong effort towards Him in reconciliation.
All throughout scripture God is calling all who can hear, to repent, avoid all appearances of evil, do not be deceived, follow and remain in the spirit, give no provision to the flesh, be crucified with Christ, seek His kingdom and righteousness first, stand fast, be diligent, flee immorality, remain separate and unspotted from the world, love Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul, love your neighbor, expose the unfruitful works of darkness, defend and contend to keep the gospel pure, love not the world and its vain attractions, be perfect in purity, sincerity, and love, avoid temptation, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, you must endure to the end, don't let your faith get shipwrecked, stop doing evil, learn to do good, rightly divide the word of God, deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, godly, and righteously in this present age, you reap what you sow, he who sins shall die, he who sins is of the devil, and many more warnings coming from our most merciful God, who has made it perfectly clear in His word, where His mercy will be granted.
I believe if a person comes to God in all humility, brokenness, and sincerity, Gods mercy will be abundantly poured out on them, but if he comes with pride, still In vile sins of the flesh, loving the world more than God, full of self, expecting God to clean them up, an do His thing to make them stop sinning, then all bets are off, to me this is abusing the love, grace, and mercy of almighty God. Jas 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says, God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
Jas 4:7 Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

We all know many sincere men and women past and present who lived a very holy and separated life, full of giving and compassion for all mankind, who did good works in helping the poor and sick. But they followed another gospel, another religion, taught many false teachings, and led millions away from the true gospel. Many will say as long as you did good works for God, showed your fellow man compassion and love, etc., it doesn't matter what doctrine you taught, followed or adhered to, as long as you loved Jesus and mankind, your works will burn up but the mercy of God will prevail, and you will be saved.
All’s I know is, if these people repented of their false ways, before they perished, then they are saved, but there comes a time when God will not grant repentance as with Esau, who lost his birthright, and cried bitter tears to find repentance and didn't. Heb 12:15 looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God, or lest any root of bitterness springing up disturb you, and by it many are defiled,
Heb 12:16 (lest there be any fornicator, or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
Heb 12:17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he did not find any place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears)

Yes God is merciful, but He is also a righteous patient judge, not wanting any to perish, and He makes it clear, on just how narrow the road to salvation is, and who will be saved and receive mercy. Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For I say to you, many will seek to enter in and shall not be able.
If we don't follow the straight gate and narrow road, there will be dire consequences, and hoping God will grant me mercy if I went my own way, but thought I was going the right way, is not something we want to learn when our time is up! Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

let’s all be sure we are going the right way:
Pro 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.
Tommy

and sad to say most who profess Christ, and who are pastors are addicted to internet porn.
let's see your stats on that.

start with the number of known ordained pastors in Christiandom.
then i want to see your evidence that most of them are addicted to internet porn.

if you can't prove this, i hope you're removed from here.
all this projecting on to others what you yourself did (and do)....the big PORN spammer Tommy.
can't stop talking about it.

start proving it.
let's see your facts.

the block on page 7 may have kept you from reading Homewardbound's post where he said through God's power he was able to forsake that sin....



Homeward, your testimony was a strong reminder of myself about 17 years ago, I came to Christ through the sinners prayer, told there was NO sin you could stop,


To sum it up, I was NOT saved, I was told I was, [/quote] no one but the HOLY SPIRIT of God can tell you that you are a child of God. therefore, how would anyone truly have the power or the authority to tell you that you are saved?

Yes the mercy of God was tremendious, I deserve to be in hell right now, and had to flee the false church that teaches you were born a wretched sinner, you do not have to repent, you get saved in your sins, and the Billy Graham sinners prayer is all you need to get saved, presto, you are eternally secure IN your sins, God will clean you up in His timing, and repentance towards God and faith towards Jesus Christ, is a mere provision done for you!


now that is a lie: every church I've attended for more than a few days or pastor I have spoken to will tell you that you DO have to repent.

Y
ou seemed to have deceived yourself into believing is being taught because then you can blame the fact you were rebellious on others teaching instead of YOUR lack of listening.


I forsook the sin or porn watchng, along with many others, I stopped them through a season of godly sorrow, then the spirit of God filled me giving me the strength to now endure to the end, I can say that the blood of Jesus, who was a spotless sin offering, cleansed and purged my conscience from these dead works, I now walk in His strength, the old Tommy is dead, as I now walk in the light with Jesus Christ!


well that is good, but I don't think He is done with you yet.

The mercy of God
Rom 9:15 For He said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
God is a God of mercy and compassion, He is the giver and taker of all life, and His mercy endures forever and ever. Now many teach that the mercy of God can be abused to the extent that a vile sinner, who is unrepentant before God, can also receive His mercy. I believe he can, but does God give His mercy and forgiveness to those still defiled, and living a lie?


yes but He does it by giving them godly sorrow unto repentance and by chastening them until they learn wisdom from above and practice self control unto godliness.

I believe the gospel is clear on this, as to the many scriptures warning all sinners to repent, Luk 13:3 I tell you, No. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
The mercy of God I believe is extended to all who come to a saving faith, that includes real repentance and faith followed by deeds, proving we have repented, have gone through a crisis of conviction and have cleansed and purified our hearts, broken and ready to receive the holy spirit, having crucified our flesh with Christ, Galations 2-20, explains this well.

He demands repentance, a working faith in love, and an obedient heart, that has been cleansed by the blood of Christ in repentance 2 Corin 7:10 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but also defense; but also indignation; but also fear; but also desire; but also zeal; but also vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear in the matter.

It is God's mercy that causes the godly sorrow that causes the repentance the allows people to have Faith to recieve the forgiveness message of the Gospel

<why do you bold all your words? >

God is merciful and longsuffering, and we are not to judge another's salvation, but we sure can judge their fruits, and conduct, as compared to scripture, as long as our obedience is fulfilled. 2Co 10:6 and having readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.


so is your obedience fulfilled?

I don't think God winks and overlooks sin in any way, shape or form, and the warnings are clear in His word, Psa 7:11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
you mean like He used to?
Acts 17
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
[SUP]31 [/SUP]Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead


The word is clear on who will enter the kingdom of God, and this entrance comes from the mercy of God, on the truly repentant heart, not a perfect heart as most would accuse, but a heart made pure, through repentance, and following the truth in scriptures.
The sad thing is, most churches teach you get saved as a vile sinner, that Jesus took you place and is your obedience or substitute, all sins are pre forgiven, and after you confess, and receive Jesus into your heart, you are declared saved, and righteous, not of your own accord, but that of the imputed righteousness of Christ. [/quote]

you are only preaching part of the Gospel and then you call it false. it is your false representation, not the message preached that is false. Before you can accept Jesus as your Savior you must first KNOW that you need one. KNOW that you can not purify yourself. KNOW that your works are but flithy rags and that brings about a REPENTANT, contrite and humble heart. and you have cried out to GOd and He forgives you and gives you His Holy Spirit. You are protected by Christ's righteousness, not so you can go and sin some more but so you can learn how to do good works for the glory of God and so you can help others.

We all know many sincere men and women past and present who lived a very holy and separated life, full of giving and compassion for all mankind, who did good works in helping the poor and sick. But they followed another gospel, another religion, taught many false teachings, and led millions away from the true gospel. Many will say as long as you did good works for God, showed your fellow man compassion and love, etc., it doesn't matter what doctrine you taught, followed or adhered to, as long as you loved Jesus and mankind, your works will burn up but the mercy of God will prevail, and you will be saved.

so you think you have the "true gospel" and have in your heart judged all those people as false even though their fruits and testimony is that they "lived a very holy and separated life, full of giving and compassion for all mankind, who did good works in helping the poor and sick."

and you do not see how your doctrine has made you self righteous in your own heart and through your own words?

I really dont get your blog spot, you believe in faith alone I believe along with most on these posts, but I do not see any where in scripture where Jesus said He would put His righteousness into us or into an account, or that He did it all for us, so alls we have to do is just believe.

Now you say I am preaching works, but what kind of works?

Works of a faith working through love
An obedient faith that is imputed to us as righteousness as we obey from the heart

If you teach the sinners prayer, if you teach and believe you can never lose your salvation, if you believe you were born a sinner, or you get saved In your sins, still defiled, where repentance is more of a fruit following salvation, then one of us is deadly wrong!

I just wanted to get my 2 cents in on this very lengthy blog, full of many, many, reformed errors, which proves why you believe what you do, and make us few preaching truth, prideful, self righteous, and evil!

Alls I can say is that the early chrch never taught this imputation, we do have works of faith to do and must endure to the end to be saved, in no way did Jesus come to do it all for us, He made the way, He gives us all the strength we need to overcome, and He came to ransom mankind from the corrupting infulence and bondages of sin once and for all, and without repentance unto salvation as commanded, then repentance isnt manditory to prepare the heart to receive His great gift, which is eternal life, BUT again, YOU must endure to the end to be saved, Jesus did not do it for you!

Act 26:20 But to those first in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judea, and to the nations, I made known the command to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance

America MUST DEPART From their INIQUITY!


“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the Oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow!” ISA1:16-17

“Come now, and let us reason together, Says the LORD, Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” ISA1:18-20

Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. ISA55:7

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you Workers of INIQUITY!” Matt7:21-23

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2Tim2:19
All by Faith works is the follower of Faith and by Faith it was counted to all the following as righteousness from God therfore if God by my, your and your belief in him counts this as righteousness none of us have done a thing except believe and the did as we believed no proudness or boastfullness on our part therefore by Faith is imputed righteousness from God almighty no oifs ands or butt here Tommy. It has been by Faith (belief) from day one and when one believes the fruit follows not of our doing God's through the believer. This is how I came to the place that God has put me in by belief. I hate unrighteousness, I hate evil, and I had to come to a point of understanding that I could do nothing to be righteous in and of myself as Paul so well said in Phillipians, anyway Tommy my friend, my brother in christ, you or I do not have to add to scripture any longer and start trusting God to do in me and you what neither of us can ever do in self and by self ever and that is 1 Cor 13. But God places this in you and me if we will believe God thus recieving (imputation) this unnatural love in the Humnan being of 1Cor. 13 for Love goes on forever and ever all else passes away.
Anyway it is all by Faith that works of God (not me, or you, or anyone) are performed in the Love of god as in shown best in 1 Cor 13
Hebrews 11 New International Version (NIV)
[h=3]Faith in Action[/h]11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. [SUP]2 [/SUP]This is what the ancients were commended for.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. [SUP]6 [/SUP]And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. [SUP]9 [/SUP]By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. [SUP]11 [/SUP]And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she[SUP][b][/SUP] considered him faithful who had made the promise. [SUP]12 [/SUP]And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. [SUP]14 [/SUP]People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. [SUP]15 [/SUP]If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, [SUP]18 [/SUP]even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[SUP][c][/SUP] [SUP]19 [/SUP]Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. [SUP]25 [/SUP]He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. [SUP]26 [/SUP]He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. [SUP]27 [/SUP]By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. [SUP]28 [/SUP]By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.[SUP][d][/SUP]
[SUP]32 [/SUP]And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, [SUP]33 [/SUP]who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, [SUP]34 [/SUP]quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. [SUP]35 [/SUP]Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. [SUP]36 [/SUP]Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. [SUP]37 [/SUP]They were put to death by stoning;[SUP][e][/SUP] they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— [SUP]38 [/SUP]the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, [SUP]40 [/SUP]since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

Imputed/inplanted/grafted it is ALL God's RIGHTEOUSNESS.... It is all the same... IT IS CHRIST LIKE... Not some faulty or false sence of righteousness... It is a PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS God GIVES us to live in... And to live in us....

I would like it if you just thin on the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God for a second... This righteousness that GOD lets live in us... IT IS SPOTLESS, It is HOLY and it is STRAIGHT from God, therefore WITHOUT flaw!

Please get this... When god makes a person righteous, even as HE is trighteous, God makes that person LIKE JESUS...
That is why God says.... LITTLE CHILDREN (everyone on CC) LET no man DECIEVE you... He that does righteousness is rightoues as GOD is righteous.... That is why God lets HIS righteousness live in us, and we in HIM!
Cobus again oyu just amaze me for this waht is said is truth and this is what he has done for you even if as being an inmature if you are and might still sin, but I am glad you have said you do not want to therefore God will by Faith in trustiung him perform the work of him in and through you God getting all the credit and you staying Humble, for me I see this do do justly, love MERCY and walk humbly. Without the MERCY I and noone would ever have stood a chance
Love you

forsook the sin or porn watchng, along with many others, I stopped them through a season of godly sorrow, then the spirit of God filled me giving me the strength to now endure to the end, I can say that the blood of Jesus, who was a spotless sin offering, cleansed and purged my conscience from these dead works, I now walk in His strength, the old Tommy is dead, as I now walk in the light with Jesus Christ!


Tommy Halleluah Brother I know exactly what you are saying and Tommy it is or was not you it is and was God that gave you the victory, if you claim the victory in any way you might get a messenger of Satan as Paul talked about in 2 Cor.12. But I see that you have done as you believe and beleived brother God gets all the credit is in which we all here or at least I have said it is all God and anytime I get me or anyone else in the way I forget you I am and am set up to sin again. I never know what tommorrows trick of trying to decieve me will be and I do not care for tommorrow is not here yet, I just know that by and through trust in Father and waht Father had done through his son Christ he has to this day present deluivered me ands will by me trusting Father will not forsake me and if I do faiul I have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous not there for me to take for granted but to learn how to walk circumspectly in Father never counting walking straight by my own self,
Love you Tommy and I do not know how many have come to Christ and Father knowing thier need for him and how many are ust taking This miraculous salvation for Granted, I just know to keep going forwward in believing and trusted because as you stated and I have to we both do not take this miraculous salvation lightly
So all of those readiing here please see this as I have heard many of you all state that you believe God will bring you into the perfection as he sayshe will leaving behind babtisms, speaking in tongues, and move on into perfection Gos's type thatis totally unnatural to the Human flesh and this is 1 cor.13
Read from Hebrews 5:11-6:6 and ask God to permit you to see the perfection he wants for you to have and that thier is no further repentamce than this and recieve the Love of 1 Cor 13 shed about in your new heart
All in the LOVE of God and when you all see this truth and recieve this truth you will be more humble than you ever knew was ever possible

let's see your stats on that.

start with the number of known ordained pastors in Christiandom.
then i want to see your evidence that most of them are addicted to internet porn.

if you can't prove this, i hope you're removed from here.
all this projecting on to others what you yourself did (and do)....the big PORN spammer Tommy.
can't stop talking about it.

start proving it.
let's see your facts.
Please Zone, do not condemn for God has not condemned me nor you are anyone God has sent out his Love to all to turn from flesh, to his type of Love that human flesh can't understand nor will this is why it takes to be dead to flesh amd you know this and I love you Zone. K

Imputed/inplanted/grafted it is ALL God's RIGHTEOUSNESS.... It is all the same... IT IS CHRIST LIKE... Not some faulty or false sence of righteousness... It is a PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS God GIVES us to live in... And to live in us....

I would like it if you just thin on the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God for a second... This righteousness that GOD lets live in us... IT IS SPOTLESS, It is HOLY and it is STRAIGHT from God, therefore WITHOUT flaw!

Please get this... When god makes a person righteous, even as HE is trighteous, God makes that person LIKE JESUS...
That is why God says.... LITTLE CHILDREN (everyone on CC) LET no man DECIEVE you... He that does righteousness is rightoues as GOD is righteous.... That is why God lets HIS righteousness live in us, and we in HIM!
Imputed/inplanted/grafted it is ALL God's RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Missing from this list of synonyms for the word impute is assign.
As Christians we are assigned to righteousness.
Jesus is the rabbi/teacher. We are the students. Our homework assignment is to be righteous as He is righteous.

Jesus told John in Revelation that He hated the OSAS/do what you want; doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
