My friend, what do you mean by supplemented Christ.
We are saved to walk by His example.
We are not saved to continue in sin and evil behaviour.
Do you think that evil behaviour is to be expected from everyone all the time, and the
cross does not set you free to live a holy life?
And I am secure in Christ, as long as I stay in Christ. That is not a buddist belief or worldly philosophy.
Too many like the idea of a personal belief system that takes them to heaven, but actually loving and
acting on it is a step too far. Now that is truly a earthly philosophy, relativism, you believe what you
like when things are good, but dog eat dog when the going gets tough.

2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Your words reminded me of the above..
The Power of GOD is to make us New to walk in the Spirit through Faith in our Lord and Saviour.. the fruit is because of the Good vine supplying the Believing branch.. GOD is the Husbandman...
Let us sing praise to Heavenly Father and our Messiah always and forever.
can a dead branch produce fruit?
Does the branch graft itself in to the vine? No.. it was dead ready to be burnt if The Messiah did not come to Save it and give it life through Himself.
The power of GOD indeed.
Peace and love.
