    Does Jesus give people a 2nd chance after death?

    John 6:32-33:Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but iis My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.” I John 2:1-2: My...

    Jesus and Commands

    ********** What is often missed when discussing biblical law is precisely what the Ten Commandments were and are. The Bible clearly defines this with several passages, as follows: And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant...

    pray for illegal immigrants

    President Trump was enforcing a law signed by Bill Clinton that requires children to be separated from parents or guardians whom are arrested for criminal actions. Several administrations have come and gone as this law was enforced and no one said a word of complaint. But isn't it a shame that...

    Can you choose God?

    A few Scriptures to ponder in relation to the opening subject: This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires [Greek: wills, wants, intends] all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (I Timothy 2:3-4 - NASB). The Lord is not slack concerning his...

    Jesus and Commands

    I think you are being too hard on yourself. James certainly thought obeying God's Royal Law was possible. I've been a Christian for over 40 years ... and I've found that it gets easier every year. Am I perfect? Of course not. And I do not make excuses for my failings; rather, my failings -- one...

    Jesus and Commands

    Seems we are on different wavelengths. There is nothing in the Bible that states existence of the New Covenant automatically does away with the Old. You seem to be missing Christ's words "and both are preserved." The Old Covenant is specifically for the people of of Israelite decent. And just...

    Jesus and Commands

    Seems that you are ignoring the fact that the 10 Commandments ARE the Old Covenant. And that being the case, are you suggesting that Christians are not really under a new covenant, but under the Old? (Of course, you would not be the first to do this).

    Jesus and Commands

    I agree: As Jesus said, the Law has not been abolished. But the Old Covenant (which was the Ten Commandments) was made with Israelites, not Gentiles. Thus Gentile Christians are not bound to obey the Old Covenant or its ten commands. However, when Christians obey God's Royal Law of love, they...

    Jesus and Commands

    The Ten Commands were the actual Old Covenant (that's scriptural) -- a covenant made between God and unconverted, carnal human beings. God lives by His Royal Law of love, which cannot be defined with words -- and He asks Christians to do the same. However many Christians say, "But the Ten...

    Jesus and Commands

    The Ten Commandments were the "covenant" God made with Israel. God does not call Christians to obey the commandments of the Old Covenant. Instead, God asks Christians to obey His Royal Law of love, which is infinitely higher than any set of commandments etched in stone.

    Jesus and Commands

    Indeed. That seems to be the common approach today: listen to every spiritual voice you can find, except that of our Lord and Savior.

    Jesus and Commands

    Seems there is a lot of confusion about "The Law." Perhaps many do not realize how the law was not just given to the Israelites, but the law was the Old Covenant. Here's the proof: And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant...
