Spontaneous Moral Originality

This is the final study in this series. We compare the temptation in Eden with the temptation in the Wilderness. What is the nature of man? Adam, Eve AND Christ had no 'old man', no resident ruling power of Sin, and yet they all came under temptation. How does this help to understand our temptations and their 'way of escape'?

We examined temptation in the experience of three members of our race who were without congenital/hereditary sin. We saw the 'trap' set by a Satanic mindset that Christ recognised and rejected, and that for all members of the human race... temptation is inevitable, but sin is not.

We examine and contrasted the experiences of Eve and Christ when faced with temptations to satisfy legitimate hungers. We examined the nature of temptation and sin in the experience of a member of the New Covenant community. 

Oswald Chambers' phrase becomes our theme for this study. In pursuing it we take a look at 'sinless perfection' and an 'anointing that teaches us. Is the life as depicted in the New Covenant scriptures an illusion or can Christ fulfill his promise?

Colossians: Epaphras relayed the news of the new converts in Colossae to Paul, and Paul concluded that they had "Received Christ Jesus the Lord" What does it mean to receive Christ?

We examine the Last Supper or was it the First Christian Passover? We unpack the unpack the New Covenant truth from its shadows and types in the insitution of the First Passover in Egypt and its signficance.

We examine the implications and consequences of the Indwelling Spirit; God on the inside. And we see again what God has saved us from.. and what he has saved us to.

In this study we examine the extreme ways in which the prophets described the condition of the human heart and the extreme language used to describe God's coming Full Salvation

In this study we read of Melchizedek and saw why he can be used as a symbol of a different kind of priesthood; a king-priest. We saw why the author of the letter to the Hebrews declares so defiantly that the New Covenant is better than the Old Covenant.

In this study... we study the 'pull' of the Temple on believers from a Jewish background and the description of Jesus as a priest-king, and we take a look at a perplexing prophecy.
