I agree to all.

Emphasis on #13

I'm a living witness to #13 even though I'm not old yet. I won't be where I am in life today if I had given up on myself. At a point, my parent almost gave up on my failure in life as they're looking up to me as the first male child to uphold the glory of the family. Every of my stories was surrounded with failure and I mostly succeed at 2-3 attempts in every steps to success, then.

But, my story and speed in life now is a gracious speed. It's now like, I fly with ease and as though one digging a well, only the surface is hard but when you pass through the surface, the rest is easy. It's not smooth yet but getting there is being graced with the finished works of God.

To my friends out there, you can become whatever and whoever you want to be, with hardwork\deligence, determination and prayer.

Think about this. ....

King James Bible

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Romans 11:16

Apostle Paul never taught nor suggested tithing to the church. If he ever did, the above verse should be null and void.

Ubenedictus:
Goshen how are you doing?

Nobody hacked by account, I have not responded to the passages directed at me, not because I do not have a response to them but because of some factors that keep me from doing so.

Okay. I have many scriptures for you to explain in line with with subject. One at a time.

New International Version

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures

1 Corinthians 15: 2-3

How do you explain this verse?

JUBILEE2000:
pls educate me, the thief on the cross with Jesus did he restitute all he stole b4 he made it to paradise?

We await his answers.

BTW, anyone who teaches restitution does not understand the NEW COVENANT. Thus saith the Lord, I will make a NEW COVENANT with them and it SHALL NOT be like the OLD COVENANT which I made with their fathers.

Laughing at the OP in 3D. Abi Obadiah777 and\sukkot don hack your username ni? . You can't even stand scriptural verses when it stares at you in your face.

Braggante:
I'm interested in Nigeria developing greatly. I wish for a time when our nation will leave the title of a mere developing country. I wish for a time when our green passport will not be an invitation to undeserved suspicion and embarrassment at foreign airports. For a time when economic growth will truly reflect in the lives of the common people. I wish for a time when we can be proud to be Nigerians.
On the other hand, I, like you love the comfort of continuity, the security of the familiar and tranquility of repetition.
But truth be told, there is something terribly wrong with this country. Corruption is destroying our economy and so is insecurity, unemployment and lack of power supply, infrastructural neglect, to name a few. The economic gains remain in the pocket of the few at the top, while you and I scramble for what is left. Some of us point fingers and accuse the government of not doing enough. But if we are looking for the guilty, we need only look into a mirror.
Four years ago, we voted for good luck and not PDP, we were carried away with the facade of innocence and fresh alternative this government enticed us with. We hoped and waited. Now it is obvious that Goodluck Jonathan cannot do better for us than he is doing now, despite the myriad of propaganda we are recently flooded with.
Now five days from today, we have another opportunity to correct this damning error of PDP.
But if you've seen nothing, If the crimes of this present government remains unknown to you, I suggest you allow the 28th of March, to pass unnoticed. But if you see what i see, if you feel as I feel, and if you seek as I seek, then I ask you to join me on Saturday, at your polling station with your PVC, to vote GMB/PYO, and together we shall mark a new beginning for our great country.

I'm Goshen360 and I endorse your message of Change.

I was just going to type it short and say the same thing. Many people think there are contradictions in the bible but they fail to do contextual word study. Joshua in the Hebrew is same word with Jesus. ...Yeshua. Plus, Joshua is a type of Christ and both translation having Joshua or Jesus is right depending how one is looking at it, either as a type or as substance.

babyosisi:
Please give specifics on how to get into it
Many people may be interested

I will find time to explain more but this thread is just an aid to basic learning.

Are you people Jew that you're thinking of obeying or didisobeying the 10 commandments? A christian is not called to obey the laws, the 10 inclusive but obedience to the faith.

You keep telling this BS that people should type "amen" to receive prophesies. Is that a criteria or what? BTW,....you saying:

As I was praying for you, the LORD GOD in His infinite mercies began to speak to me concerning you....who is the YOU? What's the person's name? Male or female? Where does (s)he lives? What the complexion? etc Do you mind telling us?

Again:

It was divinely inspired. There is somebody reading this, money has been a source of concern to you. Things are not working out the way they ought to be. 1st of January 2015, you said “I will make it this year” and you are doing everything to make it in 2015.

^ What's divinely inspired should be divinely known by God. If God told you all these. Then, mention the person's name, where he\she lives, age, etc Do you know how many people said "I will make it this year" and things are not working out as they ought to? Do you know how many people money has been a source of concern to? All around the world, people are concerned with money.....even you, charging $90 if you're not concerned with money.....tell me you're not concerned.....

I prophesy pray divine financial breakthrough to locate you right now wherever you are in Jesus name. Amen !!!

^ Again, vague prophesies. This is a prayer, not prophesy so I fixed it.....

SMH for this generation of prophets

You're not fit to defraud me because I'm not looking to what's not lost. You defraud soft minded and the weak who're patronizing your vague prophesies. I busted you last year when I used my I.D here and asked a friend to act as it was me after typing Amen. You can't even figure out it wasn't me and you giving same vague prophesies as usual. Listen, some people cannot be sidelined from the truth because they're rooted in it.

Young man, I beseech you by the mercy of God, go and get a day job so you can provide for yourself and your family. Thsee are not prophecies but ordinary prayers, anybody can say the same thing and should we call these prophecies?

@ vooks, I busted the same guy last year and confirmed, he's just using the name of God as mechanism and bible as tools to defraud people.

@ Bidam, I'm happy that in my lifetime, the revelation of the new testament is truly being poured into you by the Spirit. You will get there soon! !!

MostHigh:
Do as I do.

But not so for the children of the devil, those ones know more than their professed master.

Answer the question or stop quoting me.

OP and others advocating Grace + works, instead of grace that produce good works. I have a question for you guys, what is works according to Christ which Israel didn't understand?

^^^

How shall we who are DEAD to sin....live in it any longer! !!. It's only a sin conscious person (instead of sin cautious?) that will always see sin in the gospel of grace and sees sin in everything a christian does.

Far from it, I do not use the preaching of God's grace as though it's meant to cover immorality but God's grace is bigger than any man.

By the way, Grace didn't come cheap, someone already paid for it so I don't have to pay nothing anymore. ...

Ubenedictus:
hehehehe, so the apostle paul told you that God is blind to the sin of Christian?

Hehehe,

did you really have to use the apostles name to tell lies?

You still don't understand this gospel. ..in the finished works of Christ, do you?...... . If I give you scriptures, can you refute the Apostolic teachings of the finished works of Christ?

Put it this way,

I give you a FREE GIFT of a brand new car and turn around to tell you you will pay me $300 monthly....

FREELY GIFT. ...for $300 every month?

GooseBaba:
Yes it's a big lie... And why are you still lying for the lie.. Where is heavens help when christains die of hunger, sickness and boko bombing... Are they not helpless enough..!?

Chei, una don scatter ground for this thread oo...... . I no even fit catch up again. Anyway, make una enjoy....Happy Sunday to all.

@ italo, so you are a sickler because you fall sick? I can't stop laughing over here.... . I know this kind of subject is bigger than some people and they will struggle to handle it....

Ubenedictus:
hehehe

you must believe in a blind God.

Say that to the Apostle Paul when you're ready to open scriptures....

frosbel:
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?…" - Romans 6:1

First sin = acts
Second sin = nature or root.

Paul, the Apostle was dealing with the sin nature\root but they misunderstood it as the sin acts. The reply proves what he was addressing because they misunderstood his message of Grace as license to the sin acts. The root of sin which is the nature of sin is no longer there. So, he saying, how can a dead person live to the acts of sin anymore? You no longer have the sin nature but of righteousness. Why then do we still sin as act if the root is taken off or no longer there? That's another topic on its own that time will not permit me to deal with because one will think\assume the root of sin or nature of sin is the reason or cause for the acts of sin but scripture never taught it like that but rather scripture teaches, Christ is the vine and we the branches. If the vine\root is holy, believe also the tree and the branches will also be holy.

New International Version
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5

King James Version (KJV)
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:16

FortresOfChrist:
I have been studying the doctrine of Justification for some time and I must say it's a deep doctrine that beats the human mind of what the Lord our fortress did for us. How can a just God declare a sinner righteous even with their sins because they are in Christ Lord our fortress and some still say they have sin in their lives? Another issue is how can a sinner be declared guiltless without works? This doctrine of justification and righteousness by faith is really the Lord our fortress doing. So my question is is one who is justified and declared righteous still a sinner? Does the bible teaches that one can be righteous, justified and at the same time be sinner after being declared justified? I need my brethren in this discussion please.

Justification is indeed a deep subject, an Apostolic doctrine as it is. It is part of the finished works of Christ but I will save time and go straight to your queries:

How can a just God declare a sinner righteous even with their sins because they are in Christ Lord our fortress and some still say they have sin in their lives?

Simple because, in Christ, we have no righteousness of our own but Christ has become our righteousness. God doesn't see us via our works or faults, but God sees us via the righteousness of Christ. Christ's experience becomes our experience just like If I place money inside an envelop and mail to you as a gift. The experience\movement of the envelop becomes the experience\movement of the money inside the envelop. Such is ours, IN Christ - He is our righteousness and our justification.

Being a sinner is by nature not by our works. We are not a sinner because we sinned but because we inherit the sin nature by Adam. So also, we are not righteous because we did something right, but because Christ became for us, righteousness and made us righteous.

King James Bible
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:19

God doesn't see sin in the lives of those who he had declared righteous and those he had justified in Christ. Abraham had his faults and errors and missed the mark (sinned) but never was Abraham's sin recorded but instead, we was described as a perfect person. This is the works of Christ's finished works of Justification hidden in Abraham for believers. Heaven does not record the sins of believers because of Christ's righteousness\justifications, just like it never happened. God removed man from the equation and put Christ alone in the redemption!!!

Another issue is how can a sinner be declared guiltless without works?

Because your works didn't make God see you as righteous and declared you justified in the first place - it is because you're in Christ. So also, your works can't help God to declare you righteous.

King James Bible
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:19

So my question is is one who is justified and declared righteous still a sinner?

No, one who is justified and declared righteous is not a sinner. Like a said, being a sinner is by nature, not because one did something wrong, just like being a male\female is by nature. The sin nature most time is what the Apostle dealt with but people misinterpreted as the act of sin and that's why they kept asking...."shall we continue in sin (act) that Grace may abound". Listen to the reply: How shall we who are dead to sin (nature) live therein in it? A dead man is no longer alive to an act...he's dead.

Does the bible teaches that one can be righteous, justified and at the same time be sinner after being declared justified?

No, the bible doesn't call or teach that one who is righteous or declared justified (in Christ) is still a sinner. Just as the Apostle taught the sin nature (outside of Christ via Adam), he also taught righteousness and justification as a nature\identity in Christ. You can't be a male and at the same time a female. You're either one but can't be both at the same time. You were once a sinner but now, righteous or the righteousness of God in Christ. Listen to this verse and pay attention to the tenses:

New International Version
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

italo:
If I'm missing it...St. Paul missed it.

Rom 7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.

St Paul was justified before he wrote that, yet he did evil.

1Cor9:27 but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.

St Paul was justified yet he did more to avoid being disqualified.

Disqualified in what sense? That he was no longer justified?

Bidam:

Preciousgirl:
i want to live a holy life
blameless before GOD
Please help me

elantraceey:
Just know one thing first , you can't attain holiness by you works , no matter how you'll try on you never be able to . It comes with the conciousness that you are already holy and know that Jesus has already presented you to himself holy and unblamable
But first of all you need to be born again and filled with the holy spirit and then begin in a fellowship when him and spend in the word .

PastorOluT:
Hmm, u are not starting from the right place dear, suprisingly what u need is nt to be holy bt wholly. U need to wholly surrender urself to Christ every other thing will follow suit.
U are putting the cart before the horse which is a great mistake n by that u canever attain what u seek. Make decision for Christ today n totally surrender to Him as u mk Him d utmost in ur life n see Him release the grace to live the Christ life in U.
I have so many things to say bt timse n space wouldnt permit. If u can get d book Normal Christian life by Watchman Nee, it will really be of help.

I endorse these two answers!!!

New International Version
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
1 Corinthians 1:30

Holliness is often misinterpreted as sinlessness. This is a wrong teaching to the body of Christ. This is not that we endorse a "continuous" sinful lifestyle but a born again believer is already holy (in Christ)...meaning consecrated and set apart unto God. In Christ, you no longer live but Christ lives in you and through you. When you begin to see holiness as sinlessness, you then beat yourself up if you sin. Making a practice of sin is what God hates.

I can teach holiness again and again.

Peter said, YOU ARE A HOLY NATION and he also said, BE YE HOLY.....Is he who said YOU ARE at the same time saying YOU SHOULD BE? Think about that!!! Something must be wrong somewhere!!!
