Bible Note: We could continue to argue back and forth, but unless what we say can be supported by scripture, what we say about the things of God is not right. What you have said, here, troubles me - more for your sake than for mine. I trust you've read the references I gave you. To what extent are we justified? How precious is the blood of Christ? Since you trust experience, in my experience, Romans 4:25 speaks of "He who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification." If we are not "justified unto perfection", if we have not been totally and completely declared righteous, then Christ is still dead, and we have no business before the throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:14-16) In my experience, Romans 5:9 says, "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." By Christ's death, we have been justified--fully and completely declared righteous. Christ rose from the dead as proof of that, and therefore I can know Him. How do we come to know God? Whose doing is/was this? 1 Corinthians 1:21-31 How do we come to know God? How do we come to be known by God? Galatians 4:8-11 Did Paul know Christ? How? Philippians 3:7-11 What does Paul mean by Philippians 3:15-16? What does John mean in 1 John 4:13-15? How do we abide in God? Has God not given us understanding to know Him? 1 John 5:19-20 Brother Ezra, you know I've checked my Bible. I've given you scripture reference after scripture reference to support what I am trying to tell you. For now, I'm done. Feel free to have the last word here. If you'd like, feel free to email me.
