What are some little things that make you happy? Little pleasures you are thankful for? Jesus is always the top of the list, but what else? 3 to 5 of them... 1. My kitties sitting on my lap with a content demeanor. 2. The look on my wife's face when I do something special for her. 3. The...

Yep... Slapped off his horse! He was going to Damascus and he was knocked down. Problem is the Bible never mentions he was on a horse. He could've been walking! But it is a wonderful opportunity to take something trivial and say, "Hah! Shows how much you know about the Bible!" It's...

And I will say I have not misunderstood! We will now go to the text: 2 Corinthians 3:2 KJV Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Paul is saying the Corinthians are his [our] epistle (not law) written in HIS heart. 2 Corinthians 3:3 KJV Forasmuch as ye are...

I am responding to your responses to me. It seems to me you are clouding the issue by claiming there are many different sets of laws. The OP is about whether we can ignore God's laws. 2 Cor 3 is completely relevant to both the OP and your objections. I do not believe the is a difference...

I am referring to 2 Cor 3 and that chapter is referring to the Law of Moses which includes the 10 Commandments.

I am sorry, but I don't see in 2 Cor 3 that the works of the law were abolished. The chapter speaks of the actual writing and reading of the law. It even says "the letter killeth.. " (it doesn't say the works killeth). You said earlier that we keep the law by faith. That I agree with. That...

Then why were they done away with and abolished?

Is there really a difference or are they all really synonyms? I have looked into whether there is a difference between the law of God and the law of Moses. Some have claimed the the 10 Commandments are the Law of God and the rest is the Law of Moses. Such folks have claimed we are still under...

I agree with this, so I am not sure why you brought it up. The only reason I can think of is my question about if we could keep the law, would we need grace to save us. The law is not the problem: the flesh is. Thus, this verse is correct in that the law made nothing perfect because the...

Well, John 1:17 says the law was given by Moses, BUT grace and truth came by Jesus. There seems to be a contrast there. Romans 5:20 says the law entered that the offense might abound, but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Galatians 2:21 informs us that we should not frustrate...

Asking if we can ignore the law sounds so disrespectful. We are not bound by the law nor are we required to keep it. To "ignore" it seems to me to not even acknowledge it ever existed. We shouldn't ignore the law in this respect. How will we respect the gift of Grace without knowing what we...

First, I am not a Calvinist. I am a Christian and that is the only title I claim. Not even a Protestant. I have read much of Calvin's work, and while admiring it as a whole, he is not my leader. That being said, I do believe in predestination, and the belief that one's life is not only...

You are a good man Justbyfaith. Been their myself. It's tough, but the right thing to do.

Well, I am getting better.

Calling him "Dead Bread" or "Dread of Life" certainly isn't helping your case. It helps as much as him calling others, "Einstein" or "Genius". Just saying... Bread of Life has explained several times why he believes calling the entire Catholic Church the RDC is wrong. His reasons (in this...

The poor should wear their best, even it their best is jeans with patches. It's about respect.

I don't know if I would put a limit on flashy jewelry. In itself is isn't wrong. If he is trying to make a statement about his success, then yea. The statement of his success should be his preaching and the state of his Church (spiritually). Bodyguards I have no problem with if he needs...

Personally, I don't. Heck, my Pastor doesn't hide his tattoos, so why should anyone else?

I lived near Chicago for a few years and my wife is from Chicago... I love Chicago,... But the politics their are wacky! How messed up is this? Even the mayor of Chicago is upset at the crookedness! That says a lot!

It's a non issue with me. But on one hand, the Priests of the OT had some pretty fancy duds that were ordained by God (if memory serves me correctly). In the NT, we don't see it. But I don't think it matters either way. The leadership and preaching should be high lighted. I suspect Paul...
