We both know that not all people who use God's Words use them correctly. But you do not just use God's Words, you comment on them and make assumptions about them etc and that is fine because interpretation is what we do. And yes God's word is truth but we can't just pick and choose what we...
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...
The Creator and Sovereign Ruler of the universe, Jehovah God, is the only one who has absolute freedom.
Our freedom is relative and is bound in God's law. (James1:25) (Romans 8:21)
Very good. As we have:
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he...
In the first century Jesus spoke words to the apostles alone (Jn 14:26 ; 16:13) (Heb.1:1-3) (Jn 17:8,10).
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and...
Did the Lord lie in (2Peter 1:3)?
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us "all things" that pertain unto life and godliness,
How about (2Tim.3:15-17)?
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Perfect = complete
The word of God is...
Sir, you are not making any valid points... The law of faith the law of liberty, that is not defining a set of laws. You have said that the OT laws refer to the 10 Commandments, you then said the OT laws are abolish and done away. So you are literally saying I can sin.
The NT is a law.
(James1:25) - 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
(Rom. 3:27) - 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay...
Yes, the Jews were considered a Jewish sect even while Christians, but consider the source. It was a confusing time for those who were once under the OT Law (10 comm). Old habits can be hard to break especially after hundreds of years.
Yes Jesus lived, observed and died under the OT Law...
But the Christians were Jews -- for quite a long time they were considered -- and considered themselves -- just another Jewish sect.
Didn't Jesus make it clear that he wasn't changing the law even a jot or tittle? Didn't he live as a Jew, observe Jewish laws, customs, holidays, &c?
Why even...
The OT Law (the 10 commandments) was given to the Jews.
Christians were never under the 10 commandments (OT Law).
Christians live under the NT Laws (Rules) (James1:25) (Rom.3:27) (Phil.3:16).
Christians do however learn certain principles from the OT (Rom.15:4).
God is our judge we are to judge no man. We are told judge not according to the outward appearance, but judge righteous judgment *JOHN 7:24. There is none of us righteous in God's eyes not one *ROMANS 3:10. Only God is righteous *2 THESSALONIANS 1:5-6. We can only make righteous judgements...
I do not sin 'wilfully' because I do follow the letter of the law. I acknowledge sin as unrighteousness, but I do not believe that I am being unrighteous if my days are spent following the Holy Spirit in faith. Sin is a transgression of the law, but Jesus summarized the law as fulfilled in love...
I guess sadly my posts have fallen on deaf ears to you my dear brother. Is there any reason you have ignored the many post and the scriptures in them that were provided earlier? Anyhow let's address this one in some detail as I only hope it may be in love and a help that you may receive it as...
I have had to think long and hard about my response to all that you have written. What you write does not sit easily with my spirit, yet I realize that I am dealing with a carefully constructed doctrine that is taught throughout your denomination.
James 2:10-14. 'For whosoever shall keep the...
Let's start on a good foundation here. God's 10 commandments do not come from the laws of MOSES. They are not the law of MOSES they are God's LAW *NEHEMIAH 10:29 that MOSES had nothing to do with. God's 10 Commandments were the work of God alone and was written and spoken by God alone to his...
Congrats, you got the coveted 777th post. Anyway, I think I agree with you that God did not make everything from exactly nothing. Reading the book of Enoch (not Ethiopian one) it speaks of how God made the world from out of the primordial waters.
