You should believe whatever message brings you life, and frees you from the overwhelming burden of religious thinking. I don't want to speak for everyone, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter <i>what</i> you believe. The Cross of Christ has reconciled (redeemed) you to the Father whether you believe it or not! It is <i>that</i> powerful! But, I doubt that anyone here could convince you that the message of Grace and Peace is the right way to believe... that is something that must be revealed to you by the Spirit of God, at the right time, in the right place. By the way, have you repented? If so, have you repented completely enough? Thoroughly enough? Fully enough? How do you know for sure? What is your assurance that you have done "the right things" to be right with God? And, is there really still sin in the world? Or do you just <i>think</i> there's still sin in the world. If you think there is still sin in the world, what did the Cross of Christ do? What <i>was</i> it all about? If we must <i>change</i> (repent, become obedient, accept, stop sinning, etc.) before the Cross has any effect on us, doesn't that make us more powerful than the Cross? How is that any different than the religious systems <i>before</i> the Cross? How is that any different than the Law? What was it, again, that the Cross did? Oh, and when Jesus said, "No one can come to the Father but through me", what makes you think we (all of us, all of mankind) haven't? We're glad you visited BoldGrace, and took the time to speak your mind. We appreciate everyone who honors us with a visit. But, please know that we have no expectations of you. We don't expect you to believe as we do, and we don't expect you to act, write, or be a certain way. Our love for you is unconditional, just like God's love for us. I hope you will stick around, and allow us to get to know you! That’s cool, Stacia.

If we don't have to repent than why does the NT tell us too? If Christ's sacrifice were better and more powerful than Adam's sin and it is imputed to all people, than why is there still sin in the world? Sorry.... but this reeks of wolf in sheep's clothing.

If I was to go to any event this year it would be to Houston, Texas in November to the 1st Gospel Revolution Convention http://gospelrevolution.com/conference2008.htm Sure wish we could meet Graham. But I don't see it being at Transmil 2008 though. I do hope you will post a report here on that one though Peace Geo I agree Bruce it does sound like fun but funds are as he said LOW!

Bizarrely, it looks like I'm gonna be there! I don't think I'm at liberty to say how, or why, but let's just say that some folks go further than me in merely talking about Jubilee and they actually put it into practice! :-D Anyway, if any of you guys are gonna be there, it would be great to finally meet you.
