I think Jesus set things straight regarding what we put into our mouth. Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were...

Sorry if you misunderstood that. No, what I meant and what Paul means is that being married to the Law and to Christ is spiritual adultery. Why obey? Because His love has been shed abroad in our hearts and we are new creatures. He has taken out our stony heart (hard heart) and replaced it with...

But really, no one should know what anyone else is giving. Right? I don't see it as much of a discussion between Believers in the book of Acts. It seems to be a huge discussion today, but then again, the Church wasn't run like a business in the first century with paid staff. 2Co_10:12 For we...

It is true that one can come into agreement with Devils (through sin) and that is idolatry. But what kind of door does that open to the powers of darkness. Exo 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. What happens when you come into agreement with Devils (gods)...

That's ok Aspen and you don't have to tell us you give. You don't have to justify yourself to men and I say this with kindness because there are men that give "spiritual interviews" to find out how "spiritual" you are and if you are worthy of their fellowship. Don't fall for that trap. Axehead...

Many are under the spell of the religious flesh and the law. Gal_1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you...

It really is all about love. All you have to do is read the Gospel to see that Jesus is not putting any "trips" on men. And read Paul and the Apostles, especially the very first major church council where they did not put any "trips" on the Gentile believers except to abstain from meat offered...

Very good words from all. I would just add that when we are saved we are "delivered from the power of darkness into the kingdom of his dear Son", yet still in the world. Col_1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son...

The stumbling block for Raeneske is the "Law of Christ". He doesn't understand what it is. Jesus is the end of the Law for those who believe in Him. The law of course still exists if they want to put themselves under it or if a Christian allows himself to be "bewitched" as Paul puts it and...

Jesus fulfilled the law. Jesus was born under the law and preached to those under the law. Are you under the law? If you put yourself under the law you have fallen from grace and you are condemned because you break the law. If you live by the law you will be judged by it. Are you trusting in the...

I think you meant Samaritan. Nah, don't think so. Not in Houston. Maybe California or the Northeast, but not Texas.

Now you present a real conundrum here my dear Raeneske. Do you really want to say His commandments will be found in heaven? And of course you think the Commandments of Jesus refer to the the ten commandments which are going to be in heaven. But if that is true, what is the use of "thou shalt...

Raeneske, did Jesus fulfill the law and the prophets or not? Also, you did not comment on the disciples working on the Sabbath with Jesus right by their side. But, you know, that is the difference isn't it. Jesus the true REST was with them. That is why He said that He was the Lord of the...

Very good article, thank you. Other scriptures to pray about. 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Eze...

Hi Graceismine, Unfortunately, many "churches" have become like a business and they are constantly developing programs in order to make the payers of the religious tax feel like they are getting good value for their money. They don't want to get fired so they are under pressure to "top" the...

Actually, I don't side with the Pharisees. I have no problem with the disciples working to pick corn on the Sabbath and evidently Jesus did not mind, either. That is what it says to you. But in the New Covenant Jesus goes with us everywhere and all of daily life is spiritual. We don't...

Those are perfect verses, MJR. What more can be said? Matt_11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my...

Where did you get this understanding and wisdom? From where in the Bible? And why wouldn't the "teachers of the law" know how to keep the Sabbath? Can you tell us how the Lord wants us to keep it? Tell us all the little details. What you can do and what you can't do. Where you can go and...
