Since you already know what I believe and all my replies, I will not bother responding. Suffice it to say you do not know me or what I believe very well.

Haha, well I hope my accent is not too distracting! :) I wonder what the deal is with the more current sermon files.... Strange

I think civil law and personal forgiveness are two very different matters. I dont think we should expect the State to forgive a serial killer and let him free just because the victims were Christians and their families forgive him. The commands for us to forgive given by Jesus were referring...

There is a difference of living "in sin" and committing a sin. “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone...

My view on "the restrainer." The concept of Satan being restrained is found in multiple passages in the NT. I think all of them refer to the same basic concept. I will list some passages below and issue some comments. In my opinion, these verses (and others) all reflect the same basic...

Well we all believe in predestination (unless you are a proponent of Open Theology). The question is "What is predestined and what is that predestination based upon?" Catholic and Arminian theology would argue that what is predetermined is the rewards of the faithful and those individuals are...

http://countrysidecckearney.com/sermons I hope they are a blessing to you. Thanks for wanting to hear them. Sorry if the sound quality isnt the best.

When did I say we were to live sinlessly? When did I say we were to live under the law? I dont know what to say to you FHII. I am stunned you would defend someone who argues that 1/3 of the NT should be thrown out due to being legalistic and in opposition to the true Gospel (including the...

I dont know what you are talking about. Where did I condemn someone for their sins? Where have I ever said that someone is saved by works and not grace? Where did I say I do not sin? I am not in complete disagreement with you on this point. I think the problem I have with your teaching is...

Haddon Robinson is my favorite preacher. Can probably find a few of his sermons through podcasts if you search his name. Some are available through preachingtoday.com, but you need a subscription to listen to the messages. Of course, you can always listen to mine for free....but you get what...

Well, that went south quick. I thought we were having a productive discussion on the issue. Oh well.

mjhealth, What he has taught to this point (correct me if I am wrong, Richard) is essentially that most of the NT is in error. He claims that much of the NT is steeped in Jewish OT legalism and was included in the canon by a misguided early church. He teaches that Jesus never taught grace but...

smh. This is a non answer. If you think I have misquoted, misapplied or misrepresented the text, please show me how. My point was not to say that the focus of Paul's discussion here was the purpose of grace. However, it is very clear that in the midst of Paul's discussion, he does refer to...

The definition of heretical is: a. believing in or practicing religious heresy b. holding an opinion that is at odd with what is generally accepted. This is true of H. Richard's beliefs. They are heresy. They are outside of orthodox and are contrary to the basic principles of what...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Grace is given to those who seek it. Those who seek it put aside their own selfishness and surrender themselves to Christ. This is why Jesus could not reach the Pharisees. They refused to humble themselves and repent. They did not feel they needed...

I apologize if I ever denigrated your character. Can you show me where? I have said your views are heresy and you are heretical. I stand by that comment. That is not a comment on your character, but on your doctrine.

Yes, I believe in the New Covenant of grace and that we are saved by grace, not law. I have said nothing about the law in my post. It's clear that you believe repentance is a work of law. Paul preached that ALL people must repent (Acts 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; Rom. 2:4; 2 Cor. 7:9; 12:21; 2 Tim...

Yes, the message of grace is free and available to all. I see no contradiction between these two stories Jesus tells. Are you suggesting that Jesus didnt preach grace to the Jews, but works based righteousness (i.e. you must forgive to be forgiven)? Whereas in the story of the King's son and...

I also believe grace covers past and future sins. 1. I never said it did, nor implied that to Richard, yet he continues to charge me with legalism. Yet, if one does not "repent" then they are not saved. A person can claim they love Jesus all day, but it doesnt mean anything unless they turn...

What are you talking about? You keep knocking down straw men. Its always to easier debate another person's position when you completely twist it and misrepresent it. I have never once said self-righteousness saves or that grace doesnt cover all sins. You are completely discrediting yourself...
