Gregory: >>>>would you consider yourself more a spiritual Christian than an ideological Christian?<<<< Neither !! First. The thought of being a spiritual Christian almost makes me gasp..(shocked)! I am, in addition to being a physical being, a spiritual; being, there is the spiritual being that exists in me. God is a spirit being and we are taught to worship Him in spirit and in truth. I am a spirit being. I do not have to be Christian to be spiritual. I do feed my spirit with good spiritual food. I can be fed junk food or I can be fed wholesome food. Feed the spirit wholesome food and wow.pow.zip.bang.zoom.to the moon!I also exercise my spirit being. Jane and I are really into herbs, supplements, vitamins,minerals, ect.because I want to feed my physical body just like I feed my spiritual body. I just played full court basketball for two hours last night with the local highschool basketball team. Not bad for 50 years of age.. in 90 degree heat. Ideological Christian, yuk ! Not me. Satanism is an ideology. Communism is an ideology. Interesting that both Stalin and Hitler were satanists.(another day). None of the above. I am a doctrinal Christian. I feel you get the doctrine right and you get the Christian right. Example. JUSTIFICATION (Gregors definition--"just as if you never sinned") God deals with us on an even level. It is not just faith or just works but that God's requirements may vary from individual to individual. God gives out varying degrees of talents or even understanding. God will not make it easier for me to understand than He will you. While we may have varying degrees of revelation given to us He will keep the playing field level because of our varying degrees of understanding. ( This is probably why God has given you next to zero revelation in your spirit-- because of your brilliant mind--he doesn't want to give you an edge over me).Ha Ha !!! Abraham had to wait 13 years for a son. His faith was made manifest with the outward evidence of his works which is a natural and compelling growth of fruit, which source is in our heart and spirit and being. It is whom we are. Abraham could not possibly have conceived nor comprehended the crucifiction. However He was still judged righteous by God by his faith or BELIEF. True believers therefore even after salvation, or after the dispensation of Christ are in no less of an advantage for we must still in our hearts decide who Christ is and was and why He came. We may even be at a disadvantage for the enemy steps up the attack on our spirits, and on our souls after salvation; and surely if it were not for the grace of God and His indwelling Holy Spirit we would all succumb. So in the final analysis we too must decide daily, just as I am asking you to do, to be justified by faith in and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you with blessings and honor and glory for allowing me to present this message to you. In Christ.gregor
