    The Doctrines of Grace

    It’s good to read. I also probably give a little insight here and there, may be wrong may be right.

    The Doctrines of Grace

    Hello @ElectedbyHim, I went through the entirety of Romans myself, on record. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/romans-road-readings.57183/

    The Doctrines of Grace

    I love Romans 9. Is really shows the contrast between Israel and what Jesus brought to the table. At least I think, it’s been a moment since I read it.

    The Doctrines of Grace

    Hello @ElectedbyHim, just quoting scripture doesn’t mean anything. Especially if the one quoting it is unable to articulate it, by of course the Holy Spirit God willingly. I use to do that a lot, and still sometimes do. But they don’t typically mean really anything especially when they are...

    The Doctrines of Grace

    I don’t even think sovereignty is even in a Greek translation of the Bible. Wouldn’t this mean God also causes tornados and hurricanes and volcanoes to erupt and people says it’s of God?

    When signing up for this forum we're asked our religious affiliation

    These words by Jesus still stand true. People who follow Christ, are similar to the top chefs who love food. They make their entire life around food. This was an analogy I heard from a guy I have listened to for a long time. John 3:3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born...

    You can’t obey the Torah fully.

    Paul was known as Saul, before the name change. Many people have a problem with Paul. But Paul had a revelation that it is by faith in the resurrected Son which made people right with God, and not the ordinances of the law, and if Paul was lead by the holy spirit to make these revelation. So...

    You can’t obey the Torah fully.

    Paul lived a life under the law, and put people to death, but he makes a revelation when he had his road side experience with Yeshua.

    You can’t obey the Torah fully.

    If anyone fails in the Torah, in just one aspect is guilty of it all, Hobie. In the Law I have read that a person who doesn't honor their mother or father is to be put to death. Therefore, should we put our children to death, when they don't obey their Father and mother, and curse them...

    You can’t obey the Torah fully.

    On another side note, even though it’s to the “people of Israel” I don’t believe it to the people of “modern day Israel.” And I believe the material Israel was replaced by a spiritual Israel. Therefore. Even people in Israel will fail at trying to obey the law fully. And thus the need of Jesus...

    You can’t obey the Torah fully.

    You can quote “with God anything possible or nothing is not impossible.” But what does that mean? That just because God nothing is impossible you can follow the Torah law completely and without fault and be Jesus himself? This type of thinking is beyond me, and if we need to follow the Torah...

    When did the last days start? (Answered)

    Yes the world will continue on, Keraz. There are people out there who want this beautiful planet God created destroyed. What people don’t understand is he destroyed the heaven and earth economy of Jerusalem by divorce and established a heavenly economy. Is there still evil and what not in the...

    Wineskins? And Why Old and New do not Mix.

    So what is your point @Soyeong? Is this it? Nah, I don’t think so. Apparently you must believe you have to follow the Torah, and not Jesus I guess. I disagree, Jesus said to follow him, not the Torah. The Torah he taught them showed it spoke of Him. Not in obeying everything in it, because...

    Wineskins? And Why Old and New do not Mix.

    Okay, is your point that we must obey the Torah or should follow Christ? Please just be direct and honest in your response because I find the Law to be good but I don’t have to live my life by it; and while if you believe you can or something by all means go for it, I just want to get to the...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/exploring-trinitarian-logic.66823/post-1989746 To understand what has become known to me its requires one to read what I posted @Wrangler. People are free to question, but my response isn’t unreasonable, though people may think it simply “is crazy.”...

    Does Reputation Matter?

    I don’t think reputation matters, unless you care what people think about you. I get everyone likes to be liked and what not, if your good at some type of trade, sure it’s good to have a good reputation, but what does that mean to God? Nothing. Jesus made himself of no reputation, and it’s not...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Do you think it's wrong to have a concern for people? I'll give you an example that happened to me at work. There is this woman who moved her client over to his bed so he can lay down but he was moved by another coworker back to the spot they were original set up. This woman expected me to...

    Wineskins? And Why Old and New do not Mix.

    People in Jesus' day heard the sayings of Christ, and then after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Apostles who were told to go around to Jerusalem and cities around it, did so preaching the same things that he did... and in that time they had the Holy Spirit to go by. They...
