Of course I meant something else, but you didn't want to miss an opportunity to shill for your religion, did you?
But now that you bring it up, it makes sense that people who would be attracted to the cruel theology you describe would be so predisposed to commit the many, many atrocities done...
Yeah for sure! The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
”and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.“
Hebrews 12:24 ESV
And we die daily and are crucified with Christ.
”For through...
That is interesting translation. For example World English Bible has it like this:
For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
Gal. 2:19
I think the point is not that the law is not valid, only that the law brought death to him. And he lives now through Jesus, which I...
Paul’s claimed to Apostleship directly contradicts what Jesus taught.
For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God.
-Galatians2:19
Who wrote Peter's gospel can be debated. I believe Paul...
In Acts chapter 15 verse 7 Peter said:
“Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles
might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.”
~ Acts 15:7
Nevertheless, Paul claimed to have a different gospel than Peter and the other apostles...
Well that is not true. Jesus also said to many that did not believe his Words or pretended not to see the truth quoting Isaiah 6:9-10 "Go, and tell this people, Hear you indeed, but understand not; and see you indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears...
Where?
James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, i“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in...
From what the scriptures tell us, we can be sure, Paul was sure of God's mercy and undeserved kindness (grace) toward him, and Paul was exceedingly grateful. That is why he spent himself, or slaved in behalf of the good news.
Romans 7:24-25; Galatians2:19-21; Romans 15:15; 2 Timothy 4:6-8
Paul...
34 I give you a new law. That law is, "Love each other." As I have loved you, so you also love each other.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Hebrews 7:12
For when there is a...
He "shall" be called because at the time Jesus wasn't yet born when Isaiah spoke the prophecy!
... For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given ... it's about His birth.
All Fathers give life. It still means what it means. It literally means Father. So Jesus is a Father. I say He is...
Asking me if I love Jesus seems to be a distraction. I have answered the same question in two previous posts, 543 and 792, making it entirely clear that I do. What you seem to find difficult to accept is that I can love Jesus whilst not following the letter of the law. From my perspective, you...
The faith of JESUS is the teachings of JESUS the Word of God. *ROMANS 10:17; JOHN 1:1-4; 14.
No one has ever said we have to revert back to our own righteousness. If no one has ever said we have to revert back to our own righteousness why are you pretending that they have? Yet you already know...
I understand true obedience to be the faith of Christ. Why should we revert back to OUR righteousness, when the righteousness of Christ is the ONLY righteousness that saves?
And yes, we are dead to the law! We are dead to the law and to sin! It is you that is choosing to ignore God's clear...
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 Galatians 2:17-21 is about free justification. In verse 19, Paul is not...
Where I believe your post falls down is that it does not mean what you are saying it means. Why do I say this?
The GREEK words used for law nomos and other words such as etole are in general reference to the law as is the Hebrew word Torah but it does not determine what laws are being...
Galatians2:19. 'For I through the law ['nomos'] am dead to the law ['nomos'], that I might live unto God.'
If you are dead to the law [Greek 'nomos', equivalent to Hebrew 'torah'], this must also apply to the Ten Commandments 'for by the law ['nomos'] is the knowledge of sin' [Romans 3:20]...
Dear friend, you only part quoting me here I believe does not really help the conversation. I believe what I posted earlier is supported by the scriptures and the completed statement in context was in relation to you posting strawman arguments no one has said or believes. I posted that no one...
I would like you to read YOUR sentence again very carefully, because it demonstrates exactly what Martin Luther is saying.
I'll break in down into component parts.
Obedience to God's law is not how we are saved. [TRUE! SALVATION IS OF GOD, IN CHRIST]
Obedience to God's law is the fruit of...
Don't forget Mahavira! I'll always make a pitch for the Jains.
I would go so far as to say this constitutes my primary area of disagreement with Baháʼí theology (and indeed with Judaism and Islam as well) - the divine law and theocracy side of things.
I see many moral and spiritual values, as...
