"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to LaurenTM again." He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed! \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

As to the 'hyper' label, while it was intended by Dr. Brown to be a pejorative term (mission accomplished), when one goes to Romans 5:21 and looks at the Greek for super-abounding grace, the 'hyper' label is not at all far-fetched! Regarding those who believe that it doesn't matter what you...

lol How 'bout a cute bunny sniffing flowers instead? And yes, the drip drip drip of misrepresentation gets so old . . . but there is value in continuing to proclaiming the Grace of God to those who are hurting under the mixture of Grace and Law and for those who are not finding freedom from...

Couldn't give you reps, so . . . Cookies for you!

But it works so well for him, ha!

Is it something like this? -JGIG

. So much of the discussion of how a believer should live is focused on self-improvement and not focused enough on God and His Work for us and in us. So much of the discussion is centered on the Old Man in sin rather than on God working His righteousness in us as a gift as New Creations...

Well, that explains a lot . . .

So let me get this straight, HRFTD: You attack the message of God's Grace, posting what your understanding of it is We clearly communicate to you what we actually believe/teach Then you say, "No, that's not what you really believe, I know what you really believe [because evidently HRFTD is...

Ugh. No. I'll type this for the umpteenth time, and for the second time in THIS THREAD: Sinning is dumb and destructive - God doesn't want us to sin because it's bad for us and hinders His Fruit from coming forth in our lives which in turn brings others into the Kingdom. As for judgement for...

Let's look at what Scripture has to say about our relationship with the Law after we come to Christ: Romans 7:4-6 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should...

Dear 'BibleGuy', So BibleGuy - your individual posts have so many random points that one cannot comprehensively reply to each of your points without exceeding the 20,000 character limit per post here at CC. I thought it would be a good idea to answer in a thread dedicated to your assertions...

There is another thread here that's discussing Dispensational Theology, and I've found the following article to be very helpful in examining two of the most common templates used to interpret Scripture, as well as a third option, which I find to be very reasonable indeed. I first came across...

Regarding Abraham, I'll repeat from my earlier post on this matter: Having a concubine may not be adultery, but having sex with her in order to have a child because he chose his act over God's promise was a sin. That act was a lapse in Abraham's faith, and what is not of faith, is sin (see...

. . . and here comes the victim card. Poor little lamb to the slaughter . . . called by God to martyrdom . . . In reality, you are an instigator and sower of discord in the Body: " . . . but when this is founded on heresy and self indulgence, it is never going to be an different...

The bolded parts above are where you go off the tracks, PJ, and it's so subtle. It's not through our obedience and forgiveness that we are changed, but because of Christ's obedience on our behalf and His forgiveness of our sins, allowing Him to fill us with God's righteousness and new life by...

Yes! A child who grows up in a home where they are constantly fearful of being disowned will mess up more, will rebel more, will be dysfunctional - because that's not how God designed us to function. God designed us to function from a place of absolute security - our position with Him is...

Torah has not ceased to exist. As a functioning, valid covenant, however, it is obsolete in Christ and His Work of the Cross, the Resurrection, the Ascension, and His Perfect, Permanent, High Priesthood. Those who are in Christ are dead to the Law (Rom. 7:4-6). Christ (of the Tribe of...
