Do you mean the perfect stance we have in Christ?
The greatest thing for me in going to heaven, will not be our awesomely cool new and powerful heavenly bodies, not the fact that I will live forever and be free off sickness and pain and hunger and free from all the other things that afflict our mortal body but that I will be free off sin once and for all, to be sinless for all eternity will be to me gods greatest gift.

Yes our righteousness is in Christ but remember the Law is not the Commandments off men and Jesus Didnt come to abolish the law but fulfill it. Read the Sermon on the Mount here we see Jesus expounding the Law as it should be understood and Obeyed, and all off us have broken the law at some time or other, Shylynne you may be obeying the law without even knowing it, if you are doing the will off god than you are obeying the law. What shall we murder, steal, commit adultery covet what is off our neighbors off course not, so if you agree with me on that then your agree with the law which is our perfect guideline although we may so many times fall short off it but lucky for us we have a savior, so do you see how it all ties in, in my mind anyway.

Well I should have pointed out that I fully believe in our first parents Adam and Eve, if not than when Paul said, through one man sin came etc that would be a lie and the whole idea off us being sinners a lie. In fact when ever I see two couples together I am reminded off my first parents and am also reminded off the fact that we are all related through them being their offspring, every man is your brother, every woman your sister and when you see that (And I am not saying that you dont) than it is easier to treat them as such.

I dont know if this is an appropriate responds but I new a avid church going fellow that sang very loud in church, new all the words he even got me into church and took pride in being the one that lead me to Christ, his private life on the other hand was different. He consorted with prostitutes and was very brutal with his wife and was a complete sex maniac. I felt obliged to confront him about all this and he replied, The bible says not to judge. Was I in the wrong confronting him as he would have it, was this spiritual pride on my behalf, an act off self-righteousness as he would have me believe? I think that what I did was my duty as a Christian, to love a mans soul is to truly love him.

Silver, unbelief is a willful act by an individual. IT IS NOT A SIN Should I not believe what you write, Is that a sin? I DON'T THINK SO!
I dont understand that logic since murder is a willful act by an individual and so is adultery and every other sin? What I have been told in regards to the dreaded unpardonable sin is that if you are worried about it then you havent committed it, those that have are so hardened toward God that they wouldnt care ether way like the Pharisees.

I think I get what you are saying... I agree with everything that you said there (And who am I not to) But eating the flesh and drinking the blood as Spurgeon putts is his flesh broken on the cross and his blood poured forth for our redemption and so off eating his flesh and drinking his blood is believing the Gospel and so if you dont believe in the gospel (which I know everyone here does) you can have no life in you. I would think that the scriptures are the water off life that comes forth from heaven since they are divinely inspired and may we drink off it as much as it does quench our thirst for the living God who wrote it.
Amen.
PS: I cant wait to hear you story.

Oh, and Felix...your underlying message, just taking a shot in the dark, are you talking about adherance to God's Word and making sure that whenever one studies God's Word, that he/she applies it to their lives and in doing that they please God? Joshua p.s. for Bible fundamentalism...I think you guys know the answer to that based on my post. Well thats how I see it as walking in the spirit, since the word off God was written by the Holy Spirit so that we may learn from the scriptures to walk in the spirit as well as Get to Know God in the trinity. I don't believe that this can be done without a knowledge off Gods word. I still dont quite know were Felix is coming from, if he is saying that fine if he is saying that there is another way all I'll say is, "Good luck with that!" -lol

I have read and understand fully where you are coming from if you are a Pentecostal /charismatic am I right? And or are you talking about heart knowledge over head knowledge? Or are you talking about being baptized in the Holy spirit? So how can I know this Spirit of Truth? You say My last post was the answer to your question it just wasnt the answer that you wanted but if you want I can go through a very lengthy exposition off the verses you mentioned (if you want me to though I feel like it would be water on a ducks back-lol) but not now it is 12:29 AM here and me need beauty sleep. Semi-Calvinist-Conservative-fundamentalist-Me signing off for now! See you next time god willing.

Yeah and Jesus said thy word is truth and the psalmist said that the law is spiritual. The holy spirit reveals himself through the truth off Gods word not through feeling if thats what you are into? Remember the devil is a spirit to and he can also quote scripture he did it when he tried to tempt Christ, the audacity of him. Spiritual growth comes from knowledge in his word, the Holy Scriptures and not just knowledge but obedience, that is true spiritual growth, you can have your experiences I wasnt born again yesterday!

I dont know exactly where your coming from but if people believe in the death and resurrection off Christ, understands what it means in regards to them they can be saved. Thats the only way hearts can be turned, is that what you are trying to say, if so I agree, or are you talking in parables-lol
God Bless

"Silver, a Fundamental, Conservative Christian who trusts every word of God" I don't doubt it-lol! They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and so these liberalist may have the utmost off good intentions but sadly they fear man more than God or do not have the faith to see the all-powerful ever-present god off heaven and earth. A very Liberalist church nearby has a large message board on it, once it said YOU CAN BE TOO HEAVENLY MINDED TO BE ANY EARTHLY GOOD, the Audacity off these people (They allow gay couples to take communion with much pride I might add) These people are much too earthly minded to be any heavenly good. The Bible begins with, In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth if you can believe that then you will know that nothing is to hard for the Lord. I do not need natural explanations Felix, I just stand in aw off Gods power off which you will witness one day. So Felix are you a Liberal Christian? And I believe that God has the power to manipulate the world in which he created, when God says that you will get a coin in the first fist you catch then what fool would doubt him? With the miracle off Jonah Jesus was obviously talking about his death and resurrection which is surely a sign to this generation now and is the only one that saves. God Bless. Anyone ells?
