Greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, Well, it is a beautiful day and when it is over I wonder if any of us will have decided that we need to start thinking about who and what we are for ourselves? Let's try to stay together here on this: [1] After the sin in the garden--sin entered into the...

Greetings, I have found that Grace is somewhat different in meaning depending on who says it and to whom hears it. So I went to Eph 2:8-9 and did search on how the Ephesians were saved by Grace.. Enjoy. http://rgfheart.com/bible/eph While it is in flash format--it appears as a two page book...

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out — Greek, “Having wiped out”; coincident in time with “having forgiven you” (Col_2:13); hereby having cancelled the law’s indictment against you. The law (including especially the moral law, wherein lay the chief difficulty in obeying) is abrogated to the believer...

Servantfiss, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, you asked--Richard sir , you say " gentiles were never ever under the Law of Moses then or now today." , but you fail to address the scriptures that tell us differantly that have been posted here , is there a reason for this good sir ? My...

Obed, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, you said--Adam and Eve were not under law and neither was Abraham who was justified by faith. It wasn't until the Israelites came out of Egypt that they were put under law at Sinai and were judged by that law. Although the New Covenant was new to the...

servantfiss, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, you said--"Yes, God made this new covenant and it is talked about in Jere 31." , I cant help but notice you didnt adress the fact that this new Covanent is built around His Law . My response--but I did but one part of this is my fault, I made...

Servantfiss, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, Yes, God made this new covenant and it is talked about in Jere 31. However, when the Jews put Jesus on the cross and killed Him--That law the Mosaic law was removed ending the covenant relationship with God. Col 2:12 Buried with him in...

Richard B. Greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Jas 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of...

Greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, Jesus during His earthly ministry did not bring the message of the coming kingdom of God to the Gentiles. Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. When we can add "learning to study the scriptures...

Richard B, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, It is unfortunate that you do not like James because I do--God has given us James and the message is as valid for the converted jews to Christianity as we Gentiles who are converted to Christianity. And by covenant--under the new covenant--all...

Obed, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, you said--That is correct, I cannot for the life of me understand why after all these years people are talking about the old Mosaic (Levitical law). My response one reason is that they have not yet learned to divide the scriptures by covenants. They...

Richard B, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, I believe James has a pretty good handle on it= Jas_2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Jas_2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Jas_2:18 Yea...

Richard B, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, you said --You left our what our obedience is. Is it not sinning or is it keeping our faith in Jesus' work on the cross. My response--Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey...

Richard B, greetings in Christ from sunny Texas, If one is a Christian according to the scriptures--then one is under the law of Christ. If one is not then one is under God's Moral law of sin and of death-- No one today is under the Mosaic law-- Grace requires obedience [a] to be a Christian...

Greetings, It is true that man cannot love to the degree that Christ did..But I never said that--When one asks for laws"rules" for things that Christian cannot do--Love is the guiding motive. Where we are separated from that Love is when folks in the name of God do their own thing believing...
