When I was a street preacher, I used to remind other Christians of 1 Peter 3:15–16 whenever they treated atheists with contempt, which frequently included false accusations of hating and/or rebelling against God, as well as extremely sarcastic remarks whenever any atheist attempted to reason...
Yes we have to be born again to walk in Gods Spirit (John 3:3-7) and walking in Gods Spirit leads us to obey Gods Word from the inside out (Matthew 5:17-28). This is what Gods new covenant means by having Gods law now written on our hearts through love (see Jeremiah 31:31-34). Loving God however...
Yes, we cannot obey Gods law in our own power. We have to learn to walk in Gods Spirit through faith. That said no one receives Gods Spirit if they do not believe and obey what Gods Word says (Acts 5:32; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19). You might want to consider further that Gods Spirit is the Spirit of...
Gal 3 is so concise and direct and Rom 7 comes after 6 and gives you the amplified Sabath that is my year of Jubilee.
Sounds more like you want spiritual adultery of Rom 7
Kenny this was already answered in the last post perhaps you missed it. Again we are not saved by keeping the law because we are all sinners who have broken Gods law. That said if we have acknowledge our sins and turn away from them in repentance and confession of sin through faith in Gods Word...
there are a few more scriptures that speak of eternal life
Matthew 19:16
The Rich and the Kingdom of God
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

Yes I did. If you do not believe and obey what Gods Word says and continue in your sins and unbelief you will never understand Gods Words. This is because our sins separate us from God and His presence and we cannot understand God and His Word if he does not guide us and teaches us...
Yes it is.
I never said you did.
Yes it is.
However, you did in fact say:
So you are in fact attempting to explain something you yourself flat out stated can not be understood.
When asked what your end goal is you replied:
then when I asked:
you run off into left field with:
Anyone can find God if they genuinely want to (Jeremiah 29:13), but finding God is conditional on believing and obeying what Gods Word says. We cannot find God or know Him if we continue in our sins and unbelief. This is what separates us from him according to the scriptures (Isaiah 59:2). God...
This is something you cannot understand as an unbeliever and does not believe and obey Gods Word. You can never know God and His Words if God is not your guide and teacher (Isaiah 55:8-9). God only promises to teach all those who believe and obey what His Word says (see John3:36; John 14:26...
Your being dishonest now. This is what you posted here, so let me quote you.
To which I responded with....Why will you now believe..... there is too many scriptures. Everyone of Gods 10 commandments are reiterated in the new covenant as the standard for Christian living including Gods Sabbath...
You are quite wrong here.. I am happy to discuss Hebrews 4 in detail. It disagrees with you. Before we do that thought can you please tell me what the New covenant is? (see Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:10-12)
JESUS said
* Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophet - Matthew...
Basically you are correct. However Christians are not required to keep the OT law, including the Sabbath. Hebrews 4:10 clearly states, "For the one who enters God's rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
As posted earlier to you, posting scripture in disagreement with you is not deflecting. It is sharing scripture that is in disagreement with you. Scripture is not a feeble argument. Scripture is Gods very definition and standard of what is true and what is not true (see John 17:17; Romans 3:4)...
Here is the passage again:
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
Where does it say ‘oh btw Saturdays are not included, only all the other Sabbaths’? If it’s not there, why do you carry on as if it is...
Your response here
If you do not believe and do what Gods Word says you are still in your sins and unbelief and lost in your sins. There is no scripture that says Gods Sabbath commandment of the 10 commandments has been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a holy day of rest in...
What does this have to do with the post you responded to?
If you need it to be explained to you, you are deflecting by pretending this is about ‘following gods word’ rather than the feebleness of your arguments. The question is do you have an argument, the answer is no.
Where in your Bible...
Posting scripture in disagreement with you is not deflecting. It is sharing scripture that is in disagreement with you.
As posted earlier to you and proven from the scriptures, it is not hollow to believe and obey what Gods Word says. According to the scriptures this is the very definition of...
