Galatians 5:3
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
Romans 2:17
But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,
Romans 3:19
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under...
"Honor reality - Honor truth" I remember someone saying this several years back. I can't say I disagree with him. If I remember correctly, he was a cancer victim.
Galatians3:23
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Deuteronomy 7:15
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay...
Yeah I know those rules. Flesh and Spirit are at opposite ends of the scale. They are the low and the high.
Considering Spirit as Wine:
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Ephesians 5:18.
Listen carefully.
I know the rules of the Flesh, Bone, and...
There are few rules that you miss.
-The law of the flesh and the law of the spirit
-the sign in the flesh and the sign in the spirit
-faith in the flesh and faith in the spirit
Read:
-Romans 3:19-20 , 8:2-17
-Galatians 3-23-26
The flesh and the Spirit are not only opposed to one another; the...
The entire nation will be priests in the end of days:
Exodus 19:5-6
Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own treasure among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are...
(smile)... ok.
The enduring law... it was added. Galatians 3:19 "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator." Abraham got the promise of Life by "FAITH"...
Strangely, I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ this morning. I’m not particularly a fan. It’s apparently about social injustice. I love how the Holy Spirit guides me.
You made some very good points here.
In fact, as I read your first statement, the scripture at Galatians 3:19, came to mind.
"Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made..."
'Til the seed arrives. What follows...
Nope.
"Seed" in Hebrew ("zerah") is a collective noun. Similarly as the English word sheep is a collective noun. The word "zerah" doesn't take a plural because it already is a plural. In English you wouldn't say "Bring me all of my sheeps." Similarly in Hebrew you don't pluralize the word...
Tovia Singer got this one WRONG,
The Promise was to Abraham SEED, and not Seeds as in many, only ONE, Christ.
Galatians 3:16 "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." Galatians 3:17 "And this I...
Denial is not a valid argument.
Here's the verse in the Hebrew scripture which Paul attempts to use for his loophole.
לֹֽא־תָלִין נִבְלָתוֹ עַל־הָעֵץ כִּֽי־קָבוֹר תִּקְבְּרֶנּוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּֽי־קִלְלַת אֱלֹהִים תָּלוּי וְלֹא תְטַמֵּא אֶת־אַדְמָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ...
Hmm, okay. So what good is God's morality then, if it's as relative as you claim here?
I mean, if this God allows certain immoral things because of the "culture" then it doesn't sound at all like this God is dictating morality - rather, he takes his cues from human beings.
You've just made an...
No, really. Didn't you just say God's moral standard is "universal?"
Which is similarly bizarre.
There's no need as it doesn't help your case. 1) The New Testament doesn't condemn slavery, 2) there were plenty of counter-cultural commands of God in the Torah and elsewhere in the Bible. In...
Not really.
A lot of things were common back then, which God allowed because of the "culture".
For example, while God could have fought every battle against enemy nations, singlehandedly, he allowed, and even commanded his people to fight.
They had the 'guts'. They were of a nation familiar...
You are correct, the sacrificial system isn’t in place now, even when it was no one kept the law perfectly. Jesus Christ alone has completely fulfilled the requirements the law. Thankfully, we can find freedom from the law in the love and grace of Christ.
You continue to reinterpret after the fact. he never said anything about all "laws being fulfilled". And how does not fulfill a law anyway? That is a nonsense statement. Sorry, but Jesus never gave an exception for his statement about "not one jot". I really do not care what other verses...
The second coming has nothing to do with the law being fulfilled. You obviously only have a surface understanding of scripture.
Christ is the culmination of the law” (Romans 10:4).
The ceremonies, and sacrifices, and other elements of the Old Covenant were “only a shadow of the good things...
Lots of things you’re ignoring.....like Jesus telling us to look at the “fruitage” if you want to identify his true disciples. What was the “fruitage of the early church? History tells us that the actions of the church did not match their claims to represent Christ.
Catholicism cannot be true...
