    Grace

    We understand that the Law and the 10 Commandments are good. They are Holy. They are Pure. But, because they are Holy, they show us that we are not.... as that is the main purpose of the Law and 10 Commandments. They are a Spiritual Mirror, a HOLY Mirror that reflect God's Righteousness...

    Transformed vs Reformed

    Reader, In this world, there is religion. Religion is a man made process whereby you try to reform your behavior so that it reflects some idea you have of what it means to be good or even righteous. Religions reflect what some carnal self righteous man decided, and wrote down for you to...

    1 John 3:9...... not 1 John 1:9

    - 1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become : "the new creation in Christ". This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there. However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation on you...

    = Born again

    What does it mean to be born again.. 1.) Your sins are on Christ because "God made JESUS to be sin for us, who knew no sin"..... And God's Righteousness has become yours, as you have become "the Righteousness of God in Christ"....."made Righteous". This is : "Salvation". This is "Redemption"...

    The Real : Walk of FAITH

    1.) We know that we can't please God by works, law, or commandment keeping. So, all of that is not discipleship. Paul said. "as many as be PERFECT",.. "the fullness of the Stature of Christ".

    Can Catholic Christians be Libertarians?

    Disclaimer: I do not identify as a "Catholic". When talking with my family, I learned that one of my family members recently converted to Catholicism. Now, on the Tentmaker forum, I’ve seen members who call themselves the title “Catholic” who believe in the truth, that is 1) Faith alone in...
