Yes, Jesus set aside his flesh......( the world had No hope til Jesus came - Ephesians 2:11-12 )
Jesus to purposely come to bring the blessing to all nations as found at Genesis 22:15-18
Thus Jesus sacrifice opened the way for even non-Jews - Ephesians2:13; Colossians 3:11
So, where did...
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, testing Him, and saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" And he answered, saying, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your...
Drinking from the well of false prophet Paul, is probably not the wisest move. As for 1 John 2:2 you also need to go onto 1 John 2:3, "And by this we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments". This written to the "young men" in whom the "word of God abides". (1 John 2:14) That...

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:11 "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that...
This sounds to me like it's somewhat a reference to Galatians 3:10-13.
I think, when we understand what the covenant with Abraham, involves, that makes quite a huge difference, in our understanding.
The scriptures do say, that Abraham put faith in God, and it was counted as righteousness...
There is ubiquitous and consistent evidence that the God of Abraham is real. The Bible doesn't contradict itself. The Bible says to love your neighbor and to love your enemies but in Matthew 10:5 Jesus also told his disciples not to go to certain groups of people. God's plan was to preach the...
Exactly. The principles of the law were reiterated by Jesus. What he taught became a matter of conscience, rather than law.
When Jesus made the statements in Matthew ch 5 he mixed together references to the Ten Commandments and other parts of the Law, making no distinction between them. If he...
Sorry my friend I have no idea what your talking about. It was you that said ...
For which I posted scripture support... your clutching at straws. How Christ died is irrelavent. That he would die was always known from the foundation of the world.....

Your clutching at straws how Christ died is irrelavent. That he would die was always known from the foundation of the world.....
John 1:29 [29], The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.

@Eddi I am responding to you post here, but I did not want to edit your post, nor split this, so I have excluded the quote.
I understand your position... Not that I agree with it. :D Thanks for explaining it though, and I don't disagree with everything you said.
I will explain why some goes...
:confused:
Hmmmm.
I don't think this is so hard.
What period am I living at, and what location, and nation?
Am I living more than 3000 years ago? Am I an Israelite? Am I living in the present?
What do you want me to be, and what time period, and what location?
Maybe give me those details. That...
"Are Christians under obligation to keep a weekly sabbath day?
Ex. 31:16, 17: “The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite [“a perpetual covenant,” RS]. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to...
I've broken half of the ten commandments, even so, if I were to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, God would consider me as having been recused of any wrongdoing. ....I'd be judged by God as though I had always followed each and every one of God's commandments.
A few other translations for comparison
(1) Ephesians2:13-15 (NRSV)
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the...
Ephesians 2:11-15 "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from...
Romans 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.)...

It is not about my own intellect or understanding that Im appealing to, it is about Gods truth as He has given in His word. (For English speakers this is the King James Bible, not the new version corruptions.)
