Session Notes

Q&A: So many opinions thrown at me because of Christ:“The answer to your dilemma is NOT found in being able to answer all the Biblical questions that are used to contradict the life of Christ in you …… Having said that, realize that there ARE NO BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONS to the life and freedom we have in Christ … they have only appeared to be so because the written words have been forced into our religious perceptions”This is a good article that outlines the fears of the religious in order to be empathetic.

Q&A: Can a believer live any way he pleases?:“Can a born again believer live anyway he wants to and still be saved?… 1) There is a whole section (one of the very first added to the Shovel web site) devoted to the matter, and 2) The question pops up either rephrased or as an unspoken but underlying premise to many of the questions I hear…. Being ”saved“ may include a lot of somethings, but only in relation to the one who has not only done these things but has also become the life of those who are ”saved“.”

Q&A: Is Romans 7 our continuing reality in Christ?:“ The mind of theflesh cannot see past its own demise, extend beyond its ownconfinement, nor understand a choice it cannot make. No wondersomething within us balks at fleshly interpretations of the expressionsof another dimension, that is, from the real.You are absolutely correct, Romans 7 does not define or lay out ourcontinuing reality in Christ. Instead, it describes ”the law of theSpirit of life in Christ Jesus“ that cannot nor will not be contained,controlled or defined by the delusion brought on by the fleshly mind.It demands that who you really are in Christ is not made up of a blendbetween the two, but of a life that cannot help but see through theconclusions of ”the law of sin and death“.”This is a good article outlining the confusions of the law.
