This does not say just part of the law was changed. Under the OT law priest could only come from tribe of Levi, Jesus was from Judah. Therefore it would have been sinful for Christ to be a priest under the OT law. Hence Christ " He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second."...

There is nothing wrong with Christians meeting any time during the week but there is specific directives to meet on the first day of the week, Sunday, to break bread and give of their means Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2. My purpose was to show "first day of week" from the Greek sabbaton refers...

The one judgement I am talking about is on the last day, after the resurrection of the good and evil (John 5:28-29) where all stand before God and receive their eternal sentence. Christians are told to judge righteous judgment John 7:24, there are judgements that take place in civil/criminal...

The Sabbath was part of the OT law of Moses that was only given to Jews to keep (Deuteronomy 5:1-3) and was never given to any Gentile to keep. Under OT laws, Gentiles were not required to keep the Sabbath yet Gentiles could still be saved. God pre-planned there would be changes which would...

The Bible teaches a group (called Christian) is predestined to be saved and each individual must use his free will to choose to obey the gospel and be in that predestined group or not. The Bible does NOT teach unconditional predestination of the individual apart from the gospel where the...

The Bible, the Holy Spirit's written word, does not teach FORMER believers (non-believers) are saved unconditionally apart from faith. No one is saved unconditionally. This is further proof the Holy Spirit does not speak to men today apart from His word for men today contradict the Holy...

2 Thessalonians 1:8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:" There are 2 groups mentioned here that will be in flaming fire those that (1) know not God and those that (2) obey not the gospel of Christ. 2 Thessalonians...

The Bible does not teach ANY unbeliever will be saved whether that person has never believed or was once a believer but later turned from God and now denies God. In 1 Cor 3, Paul is making a metaphorical comparison between building a building and building the church. To build a building one...

Ephesians 4:5 there is "one baptism" now in effect in this present gospel dispensation and that 'one baptism' is Christ's baptism of the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:47) which replaced John's baptism beginning at Pentecost in Acts 2:38. This baptism had disciples...

Judgement is not to change minds. There is one judgment and on the one judgment day God will give out sentences (eternal salvation or eternal condemnation) to fit the deeds a person has done, Matthew 25:23-46. The Bible does not teach salvation can be found after death.

Faith in the Bible that saves includes obedience. The Bible ties faith and obedience so closely together that faith itself is obedience. "Obedient faith" does obviously include obedience. "Faith" includes obedience. Obedience is necessary to keep one from serving "sin unto death" (lost) but...

Ephesians 2:7 the "ages to come" refers to the timeless, endless eons of eternity and not to another dispensation to follow the gospel dispensation. It is appointed to man once to die and after this judgment (Hebrews 9:27) therefore salvation cannot be found in some future dispensation nor can...

1) you overlook the present tense verb "believeth" in many verses as John 3:16; John 3:36; John 5:24 among others. From John 3:16, for example, combining the present tense with the subjunctive mood shows the believing must be sustained, ongoing in order to not perish. Those that believe not...

Matt 25 is speaking of salvation versus condemnation. Salvation, eternal life is unending as is condemnation. Today we are in the last days, the gospel dispensation and there are no more ages, no more dispensations to come. On a day know one knows Christ will return, there will be a...

Hebrews 9:15 "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." Those OT saints have redemption through...

Romans 6:1-2 Paul's point here being that even though the Christian is saved by grace does not give the Christian the right to live in sin (transgress God's law) for the Christian is one who has died to sin. Therefore salvation is a combination of God's grace and man's faithful obedience to...

John 6:39 "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." Does God just randomly, unconditionally give men to Christ for no particular reason? No. From the context of John 6, these that...

The text says people are "taught" and it does not say the teaching is done miraculously by the Holy Spirit apart from the word. Why would John need to write to those Christians all these letters to instruct them if the Holy Spirit can miraculously 'illuminate' their understanding and teach them...

The Holy Spirit's word does not teach OSAS, does not teach that the unbeliever will be saved.

No, the Holy Spirit only speaks to men today through HIs written word. Paul was an inspired Apostle, no one today is inspired by the Holy Spirit like Paul. And as an Apostle, he was given the Comforter as it was promised to all the Apostles to bring all things to remembrance to Paul. 1 John 2...
