101 | Faith and Works: Paul vs. James | Rom 4:3 | tj57h@cs.com | 88524 | ||
Paul and James actually complement each other. Paul says righteousness is imputed to us by faith, Jams says because I am justified by faith I do works of righteousness. We do not do works to be justified before God; we are already justified to God by faith, if we believe. Since we live and move and have our being in Christ, we do works of righteousness. If we try to attain right standing with God by works, Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. I do not believe this means people who seek to be justified by works are lost and going to hell, unless that is how they believe they believe they are saved initially, by works. Many people preach saved by grace kept saved by works, if a person believes this I believe this scripture says the Grace of God has little or no manifestation in you current walk in this life. Gal 5:4. Any comments? Love Tim |

PS 32: 1 and 2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. Righteousness by faith NOT WORKS!!! Love, Tim Hines |

103 | What is imputed righteousness? | Rom 4:6 | tj57h@cs.com | 88568 | ||
If you truly believe in your heart the blood sacrifice cleanses you from all sin and the penalty of the law (Eternal damnation) and have confessed with your mouth the Lord Jesus, you are saved born again and in right standing with God, apart from works. Most religions of the day will tell you need good works to stay in right standing with God and this scripture says by faith you are in right standing with God. If you get the revelation of this scripture you will have a glorious freedom in Christ, if not you will be always under condemnation of not doing enough GOOD works. WE ARE FREE OF ALL CONDEMNATION!!! WALK IN THE GRACE AND LIBERTY OF JESUS CHRIST IT IS A FREE GIFT. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE RIGHTIOUS AND ARE TRULY BLESSED! Love, Tim Hines |

105 | Imputed Righteousness | Rom 4:6 | tj57h@cs.com | 88571 | ||
"Because I am not righteous" Who wrote that? If you believe you are righteous, you are. Your outworking of Christ might fall short of the Righteous acts you see in Christ’s and Paul’s writings, but the important thing is YOU ARE IN RIGHTSTANDING WITH GOD FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW, THIS ENABLES YOU TO HAVE THE LIBERTY TO LIVE CHRIST AND NOT TO FALL UNDER THE CONDEMNATION OF SIN OR THE LAW, YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM AND LIBERTY TO LIVE A RIGHTEOUS LIFE! Love, Tim Hines |

108 | All sin and iniquity for given, forever! | Rom 4:8 | tj57h@cs.com | 88630 | ||
The most liberating and Glorious revelation is to know we are free! Our lord has had me in Romans 4 through 8 for 5 years until I finally got it down deep in my heart and NOW I am living in the wonderful liberty, learning to live and move and have my being in a new and living way in Christ. I have seen the error of my ways (Asking God to bless my projects instead of him revealing his and cooperating with him) and am following the Grace of God flowing through my life and it is wonderful!! Self-works are not the way; his works revealed by him are the way! He is risen, he is alive, and he can communicate! Imagine that God speaking to his people! Steve, I do not know were your revelation of Romans 4-8 is but I pray that the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation show you the height and width and breadth of his wonderful Grace and righteousness! Keep up the good work of encouraging the brethren! Proclaim his wonderful news to all! Rom 4: 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. This is us my brother!!!! ! Halleluiah!!! Praise God!!! Love, Tim Hines |

109 | When does newness of life start? | Rom 6:4 | tj57h@cs.com | 88528 | ||
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. #1. You must hear the gospel and faith comes by the Spirit. Romans 10: 8 thru 10.:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. #2. You believe in the heart that Jesus is the Son of God and was crucified (His blood was shed to pay the price for your Sin) and in three days was resurrected from the dead and is a live forever more. Confess with you moth the Lord Jesus and you are saved. (Born again) This is when new life starts! And you old life died with Christ! Rom 6: 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed F21 from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments F22 of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. You learn to walk in the Spirit by living and moving and having your being in Christ, because your life IS Christ! Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. I hope I answered your question, I will be happy to answer any more you might have, Love, Tim |

110 | Is it ok to stay clear of someone? | 1 Cor 5:11 | tj57h@cs.com | 88543 | ||
Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. You have to love and forgive. It says nowhere we have to be around someone. Unless the Spirit leads you to! If the brother is in un-confessed sin you should stay away from him. 1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. I have a sister that I do not particularly care to be around and I have to deal with this issue on a regular basis, I lean on the Spirit on what I should do from time to time. (Pray about it.) I hope this helps, Love, Tim |

111 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | 1 Cor 6:9 | tj57h@cs.com | 88423 | ||
#1. How are we saved? By faith. #2 How are we kept saved? By Faith. We do good works and obey God because he has saved us it is a free gift. Righteousness (Right standing with God) is by faith, not works! Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Sir, now if I am a born again son of God and I am, I have the fruits and faith to prove it, and I get drunk, lie to the IRS, have sex with my daughter, commit adultery with my neighbor, and kill her husband and then finally commit suicide. Most religious leaders of the day would say I am lost! The bible says because of my faith I am righteous! Praise God I do not desire to go through the chastisement my Father would put me through for committing these sins, clearly they would not be without consequence. AM I A RIGHIOUS MAN? IF IT IS BY FAITH I AM, IF IT IS BY WORKS I AM NOT! David, Samson, Lot, Abraham, and Moses all did these things and God considered them Righteous (In Right standing with God) Because of their faith in him! Romans 4 and Heb 11! 2Pe 2:7 And delivered JUST LOT, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: So now exactly what sin is it that is going to send a born again Son to eternal condemnation in hell? We all have committed these sins. We do not have to commit them physically all we have to do is think it and we have committed adultery, hate someone and it is murder. IT IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY FRIEND BY FAITH THAT WE ARE SAVED IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD! One last question: WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? With Love I rest securely in Jesus’ salvation, Tim |

One account of adultery in my mind will not damn me to hell you know it and I know it. It does not make me and adulter. My identity is not the old man it is CHRIST I am a Christ person! Not an immoral, nor idolater, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkard, nor reveiler, nor robber. As David was not an adulter or murderer (He committed adultery and murdered) Samson committed suicide, Lot got drunk and had sex with his daughters, Moses murdered, and Abraham lied twice. These men were not immoral, nor idolater, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor theives, nor the greedy, nor drunkard, nor reveiler, nor robber. This was not their LIFESTYLE. (Can these sins, indicated above, be compatible with the "fruits and faith"?) Yes, because the bible says they were MEN OF FAITH Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith Those acts as we follow these men in the scriptures were not without chastisement. Sure these things will disrupt the natural outpouring of grace in our lives through fruits and gifts, but does not condemn us to hell. Your sin or sins after you became born again have not condemned YOU to hell, nor have mine! Praise God I have the leading of the Spirit and do not desire to do these things! HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR HEB 11 Sir, HOW CAN THEY BE IN RIGHTSTANDING WITH GOD????? ONLY BY FAITH!!!!! NOT BY WORKS!!!!! THIS SCRIPTURE BELOW IS FUNDEMENTAL TO OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH IF WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT OR GROWTH IS STUNTED, I GUESS THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE LACK OF POWER AND VICTORY IN THE AMERICAN ORGINAZED CHURCH: Rom 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. And then preached from the pulpits in America comes WORKS!!!!! (LAW) (Following outward regulations and oridences) Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. If you can come to understand these scriptures above, it explains Heb. 11 and settles the debate. With Love, Tim |

THE QUESTION! WHENB WILL YOU ANDSWER THE QUESTION? WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? The point that a truly born again person taught the ways of God would not continue in this life style. God would discipline him and he would walk in the ways of God. I believe we need to understand our frailty as humans, we make Mistakes, and we can get and be deceived. The problem I have with the WORK Base theology spoken forth in the pulpits in America, is they are quick to point out sin and condemn one to hell for doing it, not taking in consideration they are talking to a baby in the Lord. Causing them to stumble and in most cases get entangled with sin and in the end under the condemnation of going to hell. America is full of them. The fact is WE outside of Christ CANNOT live the life that Jesus, Paul or Peter did! It is only by surrendering ourselves in total submission to the Christ that is in us being led by the Spirit can we hop[e to live the Christian life! We do not live it by our works as of Self-righteousness, for by grace we are saved. We walk in the Grace and we are empowered not to sin and be obedient by the spirit. Love Tim |

Not works! My case in point! THINK ABOUT IT IF GOT DRUNK AND HAD SEX WITH MY DAUGHTEWR YOU WOULD THINK I WAS NOT RIGHIOUS, BUT YOU SAY THAT LOT IS RIGHTIOUS BY GRACE! I would be condemned to hell, but Lot is righteous. Your theology and all works based theology have this serious hole in it. Just because MOST people believe that works keep you saved, which is a direct contradiction to the bible, does mot mean they are right. Grace is the ONLY thing going to get you into heaven, your works are filthy rags. When you die and the Father asks you why should I let you into Heaven? If your answer is anything but by the blood of Jesus Christ, YOU MAY HAVE A RUDE AWAKENING! Love, Tim P.S. I am not condoning sin, I am defining Faith and righteousness as the bible teaches. Sin was dealt with 2,000 years ago, I believe it and that settles it! |

This adventure has started over 2 months ago when I received a revelation to go into 45 days of prayer (Bombing) the 45 days of prayer was like the Kuwait war 45 days of bombing and then the ground war lasted less than 100 hours, we just collected the prisoners. The 45 days of prayer was rather interesting the enemy put up quite a fight, my wife went into exploratory surgery for possible cancer or leukemia and everything turned out negative, PRAISE GOD! The usual financial opportunities and work issues occurred and our Lord showed himself STRONG! I was 3 days into the ground war before I knew and the Spirit said to me "Go and do my will!" From that day until now I have been taking what the Grace of God has given me and this forum is one of them. I am sharpening the sword of the Spirit. It has been miraculous seeing the Grace of God working and me walking in it. I see his mighty power working in every area of my life. I printed off the material that you suggested from the web sites and will read them. I will tell you I do not hold much stock in religious doctrines of Calvinism and armenisem (However it is spelled). It’s like being a Republican or Democrat. As soon as you tell someone what you are, they got you all figured out and pigeon holed. My understanding of God and his ways has come by divine revelation through experiencing him, not by man. I am aware of the fact I have areas that need further refining, because we look into the glass darkly and need the perspectives of other believers to further enhance our Spiritual understanding. (Iron sharpens iron, and it’s not always comfortable.)To hear from God we have to be listening. He is speaking to both/all of us, the question is are we listening or are we blinded by our religion and traditions? I have few, I came from a very mild Church upbringing and learned little about the things of God until about 10 years ago and now I am 45. I believe I am just now leaving the toddler stage and moving on to greater maturity and it seems to be at a very rapid rate. I appreciate your grace and love for hearing me out, I realize I have a very bold expression of Christ and many times can be easily misunderstood. You appear to be a humble enough man see past potential human elements and get to the truth. I am looking forward to talking to you further! Love Tim P. S. I am aware of your flavor of Christianity and I have not pigeon holed you! I believe there are many Catholics that are saved! HA just a little religious humor! I prefer to remain non-pigeonholed, therefore where I attend shall remain unspoken at this time. |

Touchy subject! Technically the bible says any man who marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery Matt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. In RED letters no less! I KNOW THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR! I did the same, married a woman that was married before, we are both born again and leaders in our Church. Those who preach LAW and works based theology; say that we are living in adultery and are going to hell. I actually had one of these professing Christians ask me if I was still with that woman! I said YES, and he said I was living in adultery, and I was going to go to Hell unless I got divorced from her. He said that my wife would have to return to her former husband, and I guess that means I was just left out in the cold, and was in a catch 22 an could never be married again. This caused much distress in our life for a short time; let me share how I came to have peace about this dilemma. #1. God is love, is there any love in me divorcing my kids mother? Does God want to destroy this family? NO, that would be Satan’s job. #2. When Jesus met the woman at the well: Matt 5: 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. She had 5 husbands, which one did Jesus tell her to return to? He did not tell her to return to any of them. She was not condemned, no basis for the divorces, no condemnation and I believe it is clear she became a believer and we shall see her in heaven. I imagine the guy I was speaking to earlier would say she should return to the first one she married. 1 Cor 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art THOU LOOSED FROM A WIFE? seek not a wife. 28 BUT IF THOU MARRY, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. Paul says here you shoud not seek a wife, but if you marry after being loosed, thou has not sined, BUT….. SUCH SHALL HAVE TROUBLE IN THE FLESH. I AM NOT SURE IF Paul is saying anyone who marries will have trouble in the flesh, but I know divorce causes trouble in the flesh, step kids, step parents, finances, X spouses and other problems galore, etc….. BY NO MEANS AM I SAYING TO ANYONE READING THIS “GO AHEAD AND GET A DIVORCE” I AM JUST QUOTING THE WORD TO COMFORT THIS BROTHER. IT CLEARLY IS BEST NOT TO GET A DIVORCE, BUT MANY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ALREADY HAVE AND MANY HAVE REMARRIED, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE GOD IS SENDING US TO HELL, THE SPIRIT OF GOD BEARS TESTOMONY THAT I AN A SON OF GOD AND I HAVE THE FRUITS AND GIFTS TO PROVE IT. I am at peace with it; I am called by God to minister the word of God through writing and speaking. My wife is a faithful child of God with great faith who I admire and love. We will meet you in heaven my brother! Love, Tim |
