Thank you.
Seriously though, don't you want to believe only what is proven with scripture?
No. I live in the world God created but He gave me common sense.

It is not common sense to believe what is not in the scriptures.
If it is not in the scriptures, then it is not from God.

Grace means that we no longer have to work the purification works just to go to the temple to worship God, we become the temple after Jesus cleans us once and for all.
I think BR misunderstood what you mean.
For you it is whatever since you do not listen to common sense as Cherub Ram gave you.

Maybe it is you who never listens?
Grace is the unmerited favor of God
God's Grace

Updated February 12, 2017
DEFINITION OF GOD'S GRACE
Grace (from the Greek New Testament word charis) is God's unmerited favor. It is kindness from God that we don't deserve. There is nothing we have done, nor can ever do to earn this favor. It is a gift from God. Grace is divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration (rebirth) or sanctification; a virtue coming from God; a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine favor.
Webster's New World College Dictionary provides this theological definition of grace: "The unmerited love and favor of God toward human beings; divine influence acting in a person to make the person pure, morally strong; the condition of a person brought to God's favor through this influence; a special virtue, gift, or help given to a person by God."
AN EASY ACRONYM FOR GRACE
A preacher once explained grace to me with this acronym:
God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense
GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY
In Christianity, God's grace and God's mercy are often confused. Although they are similar expressions of his favor and love, they possess a clear distinction. When we experience God's grace, we receive favor that we do not deserve. When we experience God's mercy, we are spared punishment that we do deserve.
AMAZING GRACE
God's grace is truly amazing. Not only does it provide for our salvation, it enables us to live an abundant life in Jesus Christ:
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (ESV)
God's grace is available to us at all times, for every problem and need we face. God's grace frees us from slavery to sin, guilt, and shame.
God's grace allows us to pursue good works. God's grace enables us to be all that God intends us to be. God's grace is amazing indeed.
EXAMPLES OF GRACE IN THE BIBLE
John 1:16-17
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (ESV)
Romans 3:23-24
... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ... (ESV)
Romans 6:14
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. (ESV)
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God ... (ESV)
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people ... (ESV)

Mary who?
I care about what God says, and what you are saying.
Why do you look to other people to discuss God's Truth?
You are one poor lost soul who does not understand the meaning of grace.
God's Truth
New member
Your mere insults mean nothing.
This is what grace means:
Grace is that no one has to do the purification/ceremonial works to clean/purify/sanctify themselves anymore.
Now explain how that is wrong. haa
Hogwash.
God's Truth
New member
Why just insult and deny?
Why do you think it is hogwash to say that Jesus' blood sanctifies us and purification works do not?
Hope you come to know the true meaning of grace someday.
