I believe nothing you have posted here addresses anything in the posts with the scriptures you have been quoting from dear friend. When you have been found to be in error through the scriptures in one post then you change the subject and move to another claim without addressing any of the posts...
This discussion is very relevant to the OP because the Gospel of grace as preached by Paul does not require the spiritual body of Christ to follow the weekly Jewish sabbath!
Galatians 2:11-16 is Paul's rebuke of Peter, and Galatians2:17-21 is about free justification. In verse 19, Paul is not...
160 Reasons Jesus Christ is Almighty God
By Thomas Golda
97. Jesus is the one who "justifies" - Galatians2:17. ONLY GOD can justifieth - Romans 8:33. Jesus is God.
98. Jesus "reveals" truth - Luke 10:22, Matthew 11:27. Only GOD can reveal truth - Philippians 3:15, I Corinthians 2:10. Jesus...
51. Jesus is OMNIPRESENT - Matthew 18:20, Matthew 28:20
52. Jesus' body fills all (is omnipresent) - Ephesians 1:23
53. Jesus knows the hearts of men - Revelation 2:23
54. Jesus dwells in the hearts - Ephesians 3:17
55. And "liveth" in the believers - Galatians 2:20
56. Jesus knows the thoughts...
Ha ha!
But Paul demanded, commanded and expected Christians to keep to LAWS!
I could give you many examples, but PAY YOUR DUES! and PAY YOUR TAXES! were the first that I thought of.
ROMANS 13:6 and 7
Paul committed a big mistake to speak for the Jews in general. He was the one who released himself from the Law if you read Romans 7:6. He simply was speaking nonsense. He should at least have proved his viewpoint that one cannot be justified by obedience of the Law but by faith. He should have...
Galatians 2
15“We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith ind Christ and not by the works of the law, because by...
As for Paul, he was not an apostle at all that is, one of the Twelve Apostles nor was he authorized by them to offer Christianity to Greeks and Galatians on such terms.
He saw a vision, he said . A vision of Jesus. How come they never asked him for a miracle Or any proof that would support...
Understand and agree. No one can become righteous of their own will or works.
Agreed
You have hit the right point!!!! "and no longer dwell in deliberate sin" This is the key to my entire point. Sin can still be done by us and since sin is the transgression of God's laws it means that God's...
Shalom KBC, as usual, I do appreciate your reply. At issue here is properly understanding Paul, and his explanation concerning Grace. There is a SPECIFIC free gift that he speaks of, and it is the free gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS (Romans 5:17). In considering righteousness, the Messiah said that...
Shalom Ron, you might be surprised as to how close we are in believing that Elohim will save the vast majority of mankind (you say ALL, and I say almost all). You need to think along the lines of a farmer. When a farmer plants his crops, he has an initial harvest (The Firstfruits), who Messiah...
Over the course of 17 years after Paul's conversion he visited Jerusalem exactly once. That is what Doherty states, page 25, and he is correct about that because it was after 17 years beyond his conversion before he visited Jerusalem for the second time.
By all accounts, Paul started out by beating up Jesus' followers and by persecuting them.
From Galatians2:17-19
οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα...
Here's my beliefs: The matter which the Corinthian believers zealously wanted to be clear of was that in which the believer had had sex with his Dad's wife. Interestingly Paul told them in his first letter to turn him over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh THAT HIS SOUL MAY BE SAVED...
JavaJo,In this post you have not said anything which I hadn't already expressed concerning those who have genuinely Repented as is seen in 2Cor.7:8-12, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
God never takes away...
I didn't say they were USELESS, they just aren't binding any more.
II Corinthian 3:14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a...
Like a new contract, the NEW one REPLACES (supersedes, supplants, substitutes, changes) the OLD Covenant.
It's like when I get a NEW insurance policy for my car: things CHANGE. We have a new deductible, new rules, new regulations and I should assume NOTHING remains the same.
The OLD covenant...
Pt3
But apart from passages such as these, where there is express mention of the Three Persons, the teaching of the New Testament regarding Christ and the Holy Spirit is free from all ambiguity. In regard to Christ, the Apostles employ modes of speech which, to men brought up in the Hebrew...
