We've switched horses midstream on this. I was trying to get @Soyeong to define "God's law". Which didn't happen. [

I think fornication should be part of the discussion regardless of whether it is a "biblical word". Jesus differentiates between adultery (immorality after marriage) and fornication (immorality BEFORE marriage). The only allowance for divorce was written in the law. Parents that provided a...

Good post, thanks. This bit reminded me of something I say from time to time. Even if they blow the planet out from beneath your feet, if you have Jesus, you have everything. [

Universalism is one of three valid biblical views of the final judgement. The belief was from the early church in the east. Two of my forum topics on the subject. Apokatastasis in the Bible Apokatastasis in the early church [

I have never said any such thing. Universalism does NOT lead people to hell. [

Yes, of course. But... I agree that it is poetic in delivery. But the parenthetical statements are informative. And obviously, "the law", "God's law" and "Christ's law" are three different things. 1 Corinthians 9:20-22 NIV To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the...

I'm sorry, you are WAY off topic. I don't think I have yet to hear you respond to the OP. We are talking about how the church pulls people into the church on false pretense, not driving a Ferrari for "free". If the first drive is for free, how much does it cost after that? [

Agree. I saw a bumper sticker that said: IF JESUS IS YOUR COPILOT You're in the wrong seat. [

You still haven't defined for me what God's law is. This passage differentiates between: - the law (which he is not under) - God’s law (which he is not free from) - Christ’s law (which he is under) Three different things. (they can't be the same) 1 Corinthians 9:20-22 NIV To the Jews I became...

Bait and switch then? [

That's not the point. I wish respondents actually read the OP. (sigh) [

Good point. If we turn it over to God, we free ourselves of the worry. We can then marvel at what He does in response. [

This scripture makes it different things. 1 Corinthians 9:20-22 NIV To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became...

I need to repeat my post #108 What do you say to that? [

St. SteVen said: Why do you take such a myopic view? LOL Your fixation on the word AND proves your near-nearsightedness. Are you claiming that Jesus is incapable of changing a person DESPITE their circumstances? [

How can obeying laws be a free gift? It costs something, right? What do you mean when you write "God's law"? https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/observations-about-the-law-the-law-gods-law-christs-law-four-different-things.57502/ [

Why do you take such a myopic view? Obviously, Jesus is just as capable of changing our circumstances as He is of changing us. 2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which...

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that you were asking Jack which translation of the Bible is the "Christian" Bible. And frankly, I'm not sure why Jack would choose an earlier canon. ??? [

Show me a sign. >>> >>> >>> >>> What do we look for in a new convert to give evidence of regeneration in their conversion experience? Bearing in mind that not everyone has an event, or day, to cite as their conversion time. It may have been more gradual. Either way, there should be some...

Agree. Question: Were you put off by all the requirements the church wanted to put on you when you first believed? - Daily Bible reading and prayer. - Regular church attendance and tithing. - Sharing the Gospel. - Discipling others. - Good works. [
