BECAUSE that fear is a fear of punishment. And if you love maturely, completely, as you were ordered to do...
I don't mind disagreeing. In fact I look for the disagreement, that's where you learn stuff. When someone presents a hunch as if it were proven fact, then....... I'll rear up everytime.
Psycho,
Your great great great great grandfather didn't exist. Therefore, the laws of reproduction tell me that YOU don't exist. Since you don't exist, I don't have to be nice to this manifestation of our imagination, this ghost from the sky, that is typing in this forum.
I'm just...
The only thing he could mean with the words given was he kept the laws as He should.
If it's a lie then the whole infallibility concept is gone in one fell swoop. That would imply GOD couldn't monitor what got into HIS book for HIS PEOPLE to learn HIS message. If you are comfortable...
The question is moot if based on a false presumption.
That's what I showed. Sorry you couldn't appreciate the impact it had. When the premise is gone, it's gone. Minus the premise what is the question?
I'm lost. Seems I've been like that all day. I must be much less intelligent than...
I spelled Jesus phoenetically because saying Jesus vs Jesus when discussing the hispanic pronunciation of the name would not work at all.
And Xian???? Christ has been represented with an X since the martyrs. In fact they died for that X.

Why would you think so?
Do you not accept the OT prophecies regarding the Christ? If you do, then that question is way out of line.
When the Jewish law BEGIN in History?
It was after there was a Jew. You can slide back a generation to Abraham I guess...
It was a joke because we started off in arrears.
I never said you were deliberately leading anyone anywhere. :(
I merely pointed out some people use those names, because it makes them "MORE XIAN" than those of us who just say GEE zus. While I didn't question why you do it and accepted...
Where God said, "I give you this sacrifice and it will atone for your sins".
Either it atones for them, or it does not.
Christ on the cross atoned one event for all sins.
God said those sacrifices atoned for sins.
Either way it's grace that saves you, not the blood. Bloodalotry...
You make an altar call,...
Say a magical incantation, ... (sinners prayer)
Take a mystical bath....
And once a month, or week, or day, depending on where you are, go to church and have special milk and cookies,
and you are in like flinn.
GREAT you guys rock. I'll open that thread on Keys to the Kingdom. I'm pretty comfortable I have this right, but I REALLY want the objections so I can address them in my studies and check myself.
And I don't need Catholics so much as I need opposing views. It's just that Catholics are the...
It's actually UBER conservative. You are saved to be God's instruments for righteousness on earth. That means you need to live it and serve others.

2 reason.
In the eyes of the people...
