ENEMY OF THE CROSS

The bottom line in your post arose this scripture to my mind with the emphasis with which I have entered with my thoughts.

Rom 5 : 20,21 But THEN ( PAST tense ...a done deal. It has happened. Like spilt milk. ) Law came in only to expand and increase the trespass making it more apparent and exciting OPPOSITION. But where sin increased and abounded, grace HAS ( also a done deal. It has happened but not anything like spilt milk. On the contrary this is a VICTORY of Supreme Sovereignty of God. ) surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded. 21 So that, just as sin has reigned in death, so grace, His unearned and undeserved favor might reign also through righteousness which issues in eternal life through (I would put OF instead of  through...but that is how I understand this which is in line with what you observe jER quote : "For by Grace you are saved through faith (of Christ), and not of yourself – it is the gift of God."   ) Jesus Christ our Lord.

I had the thought just today that emotions can often be like a big hoax or bluff or veil that covers and conceals from view what the real doctrine is which is where we should be able to discern the differences between the truth or the heresy. Never mind how nice the guy or gal is. Check the doctrine and that will show what is covered up that is hidden, secret and will be made open when all secrets are revealed and all hidden thoughts and motives are made known. When the Light, when He, Jesus Christ returns His judgement will make visible everything hidden and blind eyes will see and cry and gnash teeth and eyes that see will rejoice and sing praise. Before that happens though, it will be as in the days of Noah when wickedness abounds. I think that for every generation since the Resurrection of Jesus, wickedness has abounded and continues to get worse as Paul prophesied.

Peace be to you as you continue to study, analyze and divide the Word of His Truth.
