All people are fantastic at understanding the Purpose of Christ, but few recognize the Effectual Work of Christ. The Core of the Gospel, which I have never heard one person preach thereof, is Colossians 2:9-15.
Let me make this 100% perfectly clear - In order to receive Eternal Life, a person MUST have their Heart Circumcised by Christ. Why do people not adhere to these Seven Perfect Verses? Because if they did, they'd realize that their out-of-control sin will prove that they are not saved. Anyone with a Circumcised Heart will be exactly as Abraham . . . to walk blamelessly before the Lord.
The Bible is clear: We MUST possess the Faith of Abraham, and that Faith comes by way of a Circumcised Heart, which is the simple lifting of the Curse that was instituted from the Garden of Eden.
To understand the Gospel, we must know both the Purpose of Christ and the Work of Christ, which is the only Work that saves souls.
Colossians 2:9-15 KJV - "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."

Abraham blameless?
let’s see,
he had sex with his maid, not only in lack of faith to God in keeping his promise, but in adultry so we have two prety grave sins, that grave sin has caused a war so deep it is even here today
he failed to trust God and called his wife his sister because he was afraid of a king.
face it man, if no one knows the true gospel. No one is saved,
I was circumcised because I had faith in God, a d was baptized by his spirit (col 2, with rom 6 and 1 cor 12) where I received the washing of regeneration of the Holy Spirit (titus 3) not because I walk blameless,

Do you include yourself in that assessment? Or are you the sole exception? 
Seriously curious about comments like this...
Seriously curious about comments like this...
1. I said that I [haven't met] anyone that teaches the Truth. What's wrong with that?
2. My comment falls in line, perfect, with the Biblical Truth of the Remnant. Look at how Israel was sifted down to a very small number, especially after being brought back from Babylon. The Vine of True Jews is very, very, very small.
I did not say I am surprised... I said I was curious about your statement.
If absolutely nobody teaches the Truth, that would necessarily include you.
Though you did not answer the question.
Which does not surprise me.
Please do not take this as a personal attack.
It is just an observation and coming to a logical conclusion.

Awww . . . I would have figured that you'd understand. Abraham's Heart was Circumcised by Christ . . . a Spiritual Circumcision. This Circumcision is what separates a person from any worldly Laws, for a person who is in Christ is not judged by worldly Laws, but by Spiritual Laws. This is how we are to view Abraham as blameless, for as Paul taught, where there is no Law, there is no Transgression. Abraham was set apart from the Law . . . that is the only way to be viewed as "blameless."
Just a quick observation here:
We are [given], we do not posses Faith from just being born into this life, God gives each one of us a [MEASURE] of Faith.
If my Faith Measure happens to be greater/less than Abraham's, how is it possible [to ever] posses the same Faith as Abraham?
Now, if we're only using the [SAME MEASURE] to view and accept God to believe in God, then I agree.
But if we're discussing that we believe everyone was given the [SAME MEASURE] of Faith, then i 100% disagree!
