Paul says, be ye transformed BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. And Paul said (referring to his present condition pre-death or pre-resurrection body and soul) with the mind He affirms the law of God but with his flesh he cannot fulfill it. That is why the Grace of God does it for us. God abides in the born agains, fulfilling the character of God even in those whose flesh is corrupted. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God ... the flesh we now occupy with our life in our blood cannot live in the 'apart' to which God is about to stand us. As Jesus iterated, 'a ghost does not have flesh and bone as you see me have. He is real but is not now in the same flesh and blood of His pre-death aliveness. He is in a Glorified body abiding in the 'apart' to which He is about to stand us for the Departure.
The law is not our savior...Jesus Christ is.
Anyone know how Iscool is doing at finding where in the bible the new covenant is that he referenced to me? I’m getting worried that maybe he had a seizure or something.
Something I heard long ago that stuck with me. I didn’t realize how true it was at the time I heard it. It’s proved to be true:
“Anyone trying to put you on a works trip is in a cult.”
The second thing from reading this thread and from years of reading ones just like it:
Deny Israel her rightful place and everything else gets skewed. A person has to mangle every other part of Scripture, too. They take the blessings but never take the curses.
