From the ESV... then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. - Genesis 2:7 To speak on topic though... Spirit has no gender...Jesus does.

Well it says in my KJV that God is called Father. What else more is there? Jesus for sure is a man and not a female. Now Barrd you know if it was good enough for Paul to call God "Father" it is good enough for me. You just go ahead and make like a good little woman and submit to this here...

I think you meant to say the Old Covenant was not promised to Gentiles... Our righteousness exceeds the scribe and Pharisee because it is Christ's imputed righteousness. Also we are being sanctified in the Spirit our hearts and minds being marinated with God's Holy Law, love. This may be...

Perhaps you have forgotten this perspective. Jesus was a Hebrew under the Law. As a rabbi there was not one mitzvot He broke. He taught all his fellow Hebrews to do the same. Remember He said unless your righteousness exceeds the scribe and the Pharisee...they attempted to keep the whole of...

Barrd, But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. - Matthew 18:16 "A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he...

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. - Matthew 23:23 8 He said to them, "Because of your...

Being we were created in the image of God anything we do that is contrary to bringing Him glory is sin. We know Jesus always did what was pleasing to the Father, thus He is without sin. Sin goes deeper than outward observance to the Law as evidenced by pride, greed, gluttony, and so on...

I am stating I am not bound nor held to the Law, the 613 commandments which include the 10 commandments. Only the nation people of Israel bound themselves by oath to the Law. I am bound by faith to the person of Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is not the letter of the Law I obey, rather...

Yes and God made a covenant with Noah that partly resulted in Israel. And I also acknowledge the Davidic covenant. Yet directly with Israel and these people there was a Suzerian Treaty style covenant where Israel bound themselves by oath in a covenant with God. My question looks at the so...

Heretoeternity, I am not held to Mosaic Law, the Old Covenant. I am a child of God in Christ. I am at liberty to love the Lord my God from a pure heart and a clear conscience not from an intention for gain. I have been made clean by the shed blood of Jesus Messiah and justified by His...

Notice the language you yourself use..."the rest of the Law of Moses". The Law refers to the entirety of the Law and is synonymous with the OC. You quoted from Deuteronomy 5, yet you omitted this passage as part of your evidence... But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you the whole...

Because poor Moses would have been whittling away for more than 40 days and nights. Because the ark would have been way too heavy with all that stone in it. Lol! The 10 represent the covenant, not that it is a summary. Jesus gave us the sum of the Law in the Shemah and the golden rule. So...

Your response was quicker than my full response...please re-read this section. Your state our salvation was not finalized at the cross? It is at the cross that God's wrath was satisfied and the atonement for sin was accomplished. From here Christ was resurrected. It is the combination of the...

The subtly to your post still inflects the same meaning. We are not righteous through our love, rather through our faith. I agree God enables us to love though His Spirit, yet this is not the result of righteousness. Only the imputed righteousness of Christ is flawless. True he who practices...

Barrd, You have understood some wrong things about the Law. 1. The Law is and always was synonymous with the Old Covenant. 2. Moses wrote the commandments on the stone that was put in the ark not God. 3. Christians are apportioned to the New Covenant, not the Old Covenant or Law. 27...

False... You interpret Law, yet Scripture is quite clear. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides...

Barrd, You illustrate my point well thank you. We are not under the Law so my hair-do does not matter, I do not need to follow the temple commands, I can eat what I desire...but love is the command I am to follow. This (love) has been taught by Jesus, expanded upon in Acts, and followed and...

The Law consists of 613 mitzvot, not just 10. The 10 are only a part of the whole. When the phrase love is the fulfillment of the Law the emphasis is on the action of love fulfilling the Law not obeying the Law resulting in love. Jesus Christ is our righteousness. We are made righteous...

Barrd, If we are justified through faith in Christ then I have found you one "just" person...you...and we can include all other Christians for that matter. You were once a meager sinner, yet now you are saved by God through His grace because of your faith; that makes you a saint, that makes...

Due to time constraints I have a few questions without responses. 1. Do you believe we are justified by our faith in Jesus or by obeying the 10 commandments? 2. When did I say being under grace means we don't have to obey God? 3. If the 10 commandments were put on stone to indicate their...
