I am not condemning anyone, if anything, people condemn themselves when they change what the bible says and not follow what the bible says. Can God's truth be found in contraditions? Does God's word contradict itself? Is God the author of confusion? I say "no" to all three questons, what say...

The NT is not silent concerning singing but singing is commanded. Nowhere in the NT are God's people (Christians) commanded to use instruments. God does not change His mind but He changed laws from OT to NT. This change was pre-planned before the world began. So the OT was taken out of the...

There is not one whit of difference between the command to use gopher wood and the command to sing. The command to use gopher wood excluded all other types of wood without those all those woods being explicitly forbidden. Likewise, the command to sing excludes playing instruments without...

Huh??????? I have not applied logic to the situation???????? It is not me that is arguing from the ILLOGICAL bases that if the bible does not explicitly forbid a thing then that thing is allowed. it is everyone's loss who does not obey God 's command to sing. Psalms does not include...

Jn 10:34,35 "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;" The common sense approach is that Jesus was quoting from Psalms and called it "law". All the OT can be called law...

Actually all the OT can be referred to as "law" including Psalms. Jn 10:34 "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" In the context, Jesus was proving His Deity to the Jews here when He quotes Psalms 82:6. Note how Jesus calls Psalms "law". In Rom 3:10-18...

When God comamnds "x" but instead I do "y" then that constitues sin, disobedience to God's will. Likewise when God commands His church to sing, and if they do otherwise that consitutes sin. As I posted before, if I do not have to do what God commands when it comes to singing, then I do not...

One cannot be in error (outside of God's truth) and still be saved, one must be in truth to be saved. Therefore one's interpretation must be correct or he is in biblical error/falsehoods/false doctrines. Singing has been commanded and is not up to any person's "intrepretation" to make singing...

Not me, but God justifies those that have obedient works as James said Abraham was "justified by works". As far as singing, God has instructed His NT church to sing and that has not changed, nor ever will change, since God gave his word concerning it some 2000+ years ago.. It is man that has...

Please read my post #67 in how Christ took the OT out of the way making it inactive and of no effect and the associated biblical errors that come about in trying to use David to justify the practice of instrumental music. If David is the example you hold up to me to follow, then: ---do you...

The NT simply commands singing, nothing more. You can refer to my previous post about what David wrote in Psalms has no bearing on NT worship and about Christ taking all the OT out of the way making inactive and of no effect today. Do you offer animal sacrifices and burnt offerings as David...

Man does not have the authority to determine how God is to be worshipped.... Jn 4:23,24 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must...

Christ took the OT out of the way making it inactive, ineffective, Col 2:14 The verb "took" in Col 2:14 is perfect tense denoting Christ took away all the OT once and for all time, permanently. Heb 10:9 " He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second" The OT and NT cannot coexist...

Yes, applying those teachings would require works. I've never heard of Divine Flesh doctrines. God's grace is conditional upon man's obedience, so "grace alone" will not save. Naaman was cleansed by grace but his cleansing was conditional upon his obedience In dipping in the river 7 times. He...

The group Christian that is in Christ Jesus, Gal 3:28; Col 3:11. Now whether or not you as an individual is in this group or not does not effect this group in any way being in Christ.

Simon was in a saved position yet fell from it, Peter said he perish - present tense, perishing having to do with being lost. But Peter commanded Simon to repent manin there was sin in Simon's life that was causing him to be lost and that sin neded God's frogiveness. (Perish apōleia is...

Yes, the Christian "doth not commit sin" and "cannot sin" relates to a Christain's lifestyle in that he cannot continue to live in sin and be saved. There were Gnositcs John speaks about, Jude also in Jude 1:4, who erroneously thought they could live in sin and that sin would only affect the...

I have not made up my own dictionary, so your argument fails here. People claim the bible teaches TOTAL depravity where man is TOTALLY enalbe to do ANY good whatsoever, that is waht TOTAL would mean according to a dictionary. Yet Peter's listeners in Acts 2 the eunuch in Acts the jailer in...

From the passage you quoted from Lk 17, does not the servant have a duty to do? Yes he does...."So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty." Lk 6:46 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things...

But of course you would present an analogy that fits your thinking. Just because God foreknows where one will be in eternity does not mean God predetermined it. God does not predetermine the amount of gas in the car and does not predetermine who will have a saving faith and who not have a...
