Could you please post some scripture that says we are to fall at Jesus feet instead of being transformed into His likeness?
AFTER falling at Jesus' feet........salvation
John 3:3
We are to be like Him...
Romans 5:1-21 ESV / 174 helpful votes
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ...

Here's what you said Undergrace....
You should really watch what you say:
UnderGrace said:
Seriously!!!
We will never be like Him, wow, I guess instead of falling at His feet you prefer to stand up right beside Him!!!
This such heresy, I can no longer respond to you.
Please note....
You said that INSTEAD OF falling at His feet,,,,the other member PREFERS to stand up right beside Him.
This pits standing up right beside Him with falling at His feet.
So, since standing up beside Him, means being like Him
INSTEAD of falling at His feet....
I ask again...could you please post some scripture that says we're supposed to FALL AT HIS FEET...
INSEAD OF being LIKE HIM.
Thanks.
Plain English.

Are you telling me that you do not recognise that that statement was not the Gospel
Of what value are your comments?
None whatsoever.

Amen! The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16). To “believe” the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation.
The gospel is a message of grace to be received through faith. The gospel is not a set of rituals to perform, a code of laws to be obeyed or a check list of good works to accomplish as a prerequisite for salvation. The gospel is not salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works or a magicians power source to make it possible to save yourself only after you become like Jesus.

But the bible says who doesnt keep his commandments is a liar in the epistle of John?
Obviously someone is/was keeping them! Otherwise John would be just writing babble!
1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Are you having a bad say.... I am the one having a bad day, I come home from work and now I have a foot of snow to go shovel.
First of all if Mr. I can Follow in his Footsteps and be an Exact Duplicate thinks his words are the gospel let him respond to my challenge.

And that IS the gospel. I didn't hear anything about an exact duplicate.
Are you putting words in his mouth? Could you post that please? I might have missed it.....
YOU are the one that does NOT post scripture but DOES go ahead and make comments with no back up.
And BTW. Shoveling snow and working is a good thing.
Do it for God....
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Here's a bad day:
You wake up in the hospital and remember you have cancer.
Thank God you have your health and can work and shovel snow.

And what are the commandments......there are 613.....do you even know all 613? How can you keep them if you do not even know them........? Point being.....NO ONE KEEPS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD....because in order to make that claim....one must have kept ALL APPPICABLE commandments 24/7/365 their whole life from birth to death......only 1 has done that and JustpassingthroughpretendingtokeepthecommandmentsofGod ain't the 1!
If we say that we have no sin we are deceived and the truth is not in us <- does this sounds like one who keeps the law??

you made the mistake of adding to UGs post
...
she never said she is not driven to conform to Gods will and not the world
she said instead of trying to prop yourself up as His equal you should fall to His feet
(from my understanding)
much like when i said Jesus keeps us saved and not works
then you claimed i am against works
