I think I am starting to get a whiff of the idea that we have no sinful nature that causes us to sin (contrary to Paul's teaching), and that the reality of sin only results from moral decisions we make.

Distinction without a difference. You are reading things into PS that are how you choose to see it.

OK, I'm going to take these one at a time. Virtue and morality are transferable because the old has died and the new is Christ. As far as justice goes, who is man to conform GOD to man's idea of justice? As I see it, here is the reality of GOD's justice. Jesus was the son of man, or better...

ScottAu, I'm not really interested in following the history because I don't think that of itself will prove anything. If I find substance to your claims, I will. Also, your posts are much to long. IMO, long explanations are that way for a reason, i.e., to make connections that don't really...

I truly believe that this episode (not Steven's stoning) marks the end of GOD's second 3.5 year confirmation of the new covenant to Israel (the 3.5 years of Jesus' ministry being the first half of the 7 years), and the beginning of the gathering of the fullness of the nations. Also, I am...

I don't have a NT verse (because one doesn't exist), but how about the OT. This is as good as it gets: I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, ... Jude 1:5 The whole nation of Israel was saved. Say...

They are confused. They should either observe Saturday, and be justified by law, or be free in faith to congregate whatever day they like. Sunday is the traditional day for this, but has nothing to do with the sabbath, even though many erroneously do believe it does,

That is of course true. It is a progression. His subjects work on building the temple until the king reining in heaven returns to reign on the earth.

Your comment is self-contradictory. You called mainstream my explanation that the law of keeping a weekly sabbath has been superseded by a higher law (of faith), then turn around and say that mainstream Christianity insists on keeping a weekly sabbath.

Every work that a true believer does will be subject to the judgment of GOD; and the believer will receive, or not receive, a reward based on the merit of every work. Every work done in the flesh will amount to nothing: But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall...

Spirit is the ultimate reality, so those who try to denigrate the discernment of spiritual truths in scripture by calling it spirtualizing of scripture are obtuse and ignorant. The whole context of Romans 9-11 is that only a remnant of natural Israel will be saved.

You are either justified by the law, or you are justified through faith. You either keep ALL of the law, or you abide in faith. You can't have it both ways because there is no middle ground. Can any of the 10 commandments make you righteous? Not one. Yet whatever is not of faith is sin. The...

So exactly where did Jesus go when he was taken from the earth in clouds as described in Acts 1:9? Is he wandering around heaven looking for something to do? Hanging out in a celestial pool hall with Gabriel? No. We are explicitly told that the son of man ascended in clouds to the father: I...

That's not what it's stating at all, at least in the way you're explaining it. There is the natural seed and the spiritual seed. The red Israel refers to the natural seed, the latter refers to the spiritual seed, i.e., those of faith, the true seed of Abraham. Your torturous logic reads a...

ScottAU, I'm finding your ideas very disturbing. I'm also finding the comment section of the individual in the video you previously linked to disturbing. Christ's death did not satisfy the wrath of GOD? Surreal. Saved from sin as opposed to saved in sin? For the rest of your life will you be in...

This is the key; ignoring this only leads to error.

The Hebrew spelling of Ezel is different than Azal. It supposedly means departure, whereas the Hebrew lemma of Azal means 'to join'. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia ē´zel ( האזל , hā -'āzel ; Septuagint παρὰ τὸ ἐργὰβ ἐκεῖνο , pará tó ergáb ekeı́no ): As it stands, the...

Is this it? - http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/17898-christ-will-come-again/

O sorry. I used the wrong verses. Let me rephrase: When Jesus was taken up by the clouds in Acts 1:9, he was taken to the father in clouds fulfilling the Daniel prophecy. His second coming will be the fulfillment of Acts 1:11. Leave in clouds, go to the father. Leave in clouds, return to the...

That's the ultimate form of spiritual abuse - to try to cause someone to doubt the forgiveness of GOD. That's the kind of ungodly manipulation I expect from a prima donna.
