King David disagrees. Psalms 19:7 and 119:92-93
The Torah of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
If your Torah had not been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction.
I will never forget your precepts; for with them you...
Romans don't change the Law, it shows, you don't live by it. and if you do you will die.
not any 10, listen and learn, Micah 6:8 "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
this is...
You are quoting the "false prophet" Paul. Not a good start. According to 1 John 2:27, "you have no need for anyone to teach you". And as far as I can see, Paul's teachers, etc. have done a pretty incoherent job.
Third ERROR of the Day, Who said 101G was teaching ..... U? Ephesians 4:11 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;" Ephesians4:12 "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of...
This seems to have been founded by an ex-Jehovah's Witness and his wife and broadcasts from an underground car park in Spain. It has apparently had a few run-ins with the authorities but has survived them. More here: Revelation TV - Wikipedia
There is a rather curious non-sequitur among the...
that's because he lived after.
Scriptures say all Christians are "saints"./
Ephesians4:12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Rom 15:26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the...
The resurrection has different meanings and it is a matter for each of us to come to an understand ourselves rather than it being a forced belief that some Christians insist on IMHO.
The apostles often used the Body of Christ to symbolise the church. The Church is called 'one body in Christ'...
The resurrection of Christ has been well debated on RF. I've started a couple of threads myself.
Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection
Resurrection of Christ: Literal fact or spiritual reality?
Probably the best starting point is the earliest New...
Everything has context. My purpose was to emphasise with particular references to Paul the true meaning of the resurrection:
Jesus came from heaven:
John 3:13, John 6:38, John 6:41-2
The risen body of Christ is the Church:
Roman 12:5 'one body in Christ'
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 'baptised into...
What you posted on the other thread about the Body of Christ is all from Paul see below). The Christian Church is called the Body of Christ but it has nothing to do with the actual teachings of Jesus. It is all about salvation as a free gift. This is attractive to Christians who want a free...
Ephesians 4 …10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of...
These aren't really answers though -- it doesn't explain why there is suffering on earth now but wouldn't be suffering later.
It's very nebulous; one can't really discern just how going from these verses, human beings will suddenly stop making incorrect choices later on.
Are you saying that...
"For we know in part...but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me..." (1 Corinthians 13:9-11)
"Therefore let us leave the elementary...
I've heard that before, but I don't think it holds water. There are too many differences in they style of storytelling. Most scholars think (and I agree) that the two accounts are by different authors, that later redactors put together. See, it was more important for them to preserve all the...
Yeah I do actually have an answer to sidestep the "contradictions" between the two texts.
Genesis 2 goes into the actual detail, whereas Genesis 1 gives us the whole picture. Kind of like the opening paragraph to a story, it tells you all you need to know, then the body goes into deeper detail...
