@ruffydfire A lot of you underestimate the level of fear in a child's heart when being bullied by an older person. Especially when your parents are not always available.

FEAR GOD o!

There really is no context where it is biblically accurate to say "Jesus is not better than the believer."

Jesus as the head of the church, for instance, is not an exact parallel to husband as head of the wife. Both the husband and the wife are creatures. But both Jesus and the church are not creatures. Jesus exists by the necessity of His own being. The parallel therefore, though incredibly illuminating, has colossal limitations.
No matter how you situate our relationship with Jesus, one critical difference is that whatever (attribute) Jesus gives or even shares with us, He has such attribute necessarily, but we have it contingently. Read it again.

Secondly, Jesus may give me His righteousness, yet I cannot transmit it to others, but He continues to be the only one who can transmit it. So, you see, righteousness in me is not an exact mirror of righteousness in Jesus. Also, righteousness in Jesus is not merely a status. It is exhaustive. Jesus' righteousness means that He can not do (I don't mean He will not do, but I mean He can not do) anything wrong, because His righteousness is not just a legal status. It is not imputed. Righteousness is grounded in His beign. I hope you know what that means. The believer however CAN do things that are unrighteous, even though she is legally righteous. So, while righteousness exists in both cases, they are not identical in every sense. More, Jesus is the explanation of the believer's righteousness, and yet the same Jesus is the explanation of His own righteousness.

Thirdly, I need Jesus to sustain whatever I receive from Him. I continue to need Him to keep me in His righteousness, in His grace, in eternal life, etc. If Jesus were to leave me at any point (blessed assurance, He will not), I will lose everything He has imputed to me. He upholds all things. I don't. I stand because He is able to keep and continues to keep me. He has no keeper. No one sustains Him in eternal life, or in righteousness. His righteousness does not need any support to stay intact. Mine needs to be sustained. It is wrong therefore to say His righteousness is NOT better than mine. More, I think it is meaningless to say so.

Besides, according to scripture, the root and the branches are not the same simply because they both share in a common life (sap). As Paul said in his Roman correspondence, "remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you." If you are being upheld by another – one who is self-sufficient and needs no upholding – it is both inaccurate and irresponsible to say your Supporter is not better than you, particularly with reference to the very attribute by which he holds you up.

It is also sloppy to say because Jesus is our righteousness, and our sanctification, He is therefore not better than us. That same passage says He is our Wisdom. Is Jesus better than us in wisdom or not? If you say 'Jesus is not more righteous than me,' can you say 'Jesus is not more wise than me'?

I saw someone making a money analogy. It fails. If I have ten thousand Naira and I give it to you, it is no longer available to me to give to another person. And if you, the recipient, are generous, you can gift it to your friend. Jesus being our ransom is something infinitely richer and different than the money analogy suggests. The same Jesus is the ransom for us all. He does not diminish through donation. But whereas I can give you the ten thousand I was given, if I chose to, I can not transfer the righteousness I've received. Nevertheless, Jesus can. How then can I be as delusional as to say He is not better than me, even in righteousness!?

Okay, "As He is, so are we in this world." Yes, but it is: AS He is; not WHO He is.

Heb 7:7 (NKJV) says, "beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better." We are the blessed. We are lesser than our 'Blesser.' And He – Jesus – is better than us.

Again, 1Pet 2:17 says you should FEAR God.

you saved from in the first place.
If there is no difference between when you said yes to Jesus and before you did so, how are we to say you're saved.

[Dr Otoks Jeremy @JeremiOt]

The term hypergrace suggests the falsehood of the concept. It's like saying hypersalvation, or hyper-redemption.

Grace is simply grace. There is no addition to grace.

To suggests hypergrace is to say whatever you do, you can never lose God.

"If you have the gift of healing, go to a hospital, heal all the patients, and discharge them,"
–This is not a good argument against continuationism.

Jesus went to a 'hospital' in John 5. He did not heal even two out of the multitude of sick people there. By the records, he healed ONE. Yet, if anyone could heal everyone, without doubt, Jesus could do so during His earthly ministry. Yet, He did not. Not that He could not. He did not.

DIAGNOSTICS
One big issue, as I see it, is a misunderstanding of the purpose of divine interventions like healing miracles. I don't have the allowance to write a thesis on "Why God allows healing miracles."

The bottom line for now is, cessationism is biblically untenable, because God still endows saints with gifts to heal, to do miracles, etc, as captured in the Corinthian correspondence. That's the point. And, not healing every sick person in the environment is not an argument against the reality of gifts of healing, today.

The charismata of first Corinthians, have not ceased.

Dump Update
Again, I dont remember the context anymore.
I think this would have been an interesting article/conversation (like those who claim they can heal every sick person... those who blame the sick for not getring healed, etc), if I had the time to flesh it out... but such is life
