Fivesense...you have some really good questions and I will attempt to answer some of them today. Let's break the Law down a little bit from Paul's perspective. The Apostle Paul deals with the broad view on the law, telling us in Rom. 3:19 and 20, 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it...

Fivesense...let me try to explain something that might help you as pertaining to the Word (Law) of God. First of all, there is a huge distinction between those who never heard the name of Jesus and those who rejected Him. Those who never heard the name of Jesus are most likely people who...

Man trying to keep the Law within himself was the curse. In other words, it's how the Law is applied to an individual. Is it by the flesh or is it by the Spirit. Is it by human effort or by the Spirit of God. In its broadest context, the law is the foundational revelation of the mind of God...

The law of Jubilee is the legal foundation of grace. While some disparage the law of God, thinking it is somehow in opposition to love or grace, the law actually establishes grace. There is a law of faith (Rom. 3:27), and by it "we establish the law" (Rom. 3:31). There is also a "law of the...

I have been told in the past that there is no difference between the Law and the Old Covenant, and that when the Old Covenant became obsolete, so did the Law itself. I'm sure it is plain to most of you that I disagree with that assessment. The Law is the sum total of all that expresses the...

The Fourth Commandment says in Exodus 20:8, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Sabbath means "rest; cessation." Holy means "set apart for divine service." The Fourth Commandment brings up the subject of holidays ("Holy Days"), including feast days and other times of "cessation" from...

You're welcome Jiggyfly... let's try to finish this lesson so it will make a little more sense to everyone. Each Kingdom has its unique Sabbath focus. Israel's Sabbath hinged upon Passover ( the Second Passover). When Moses gave the Second Law (Deuteronomy), the Sabbath commemorated Israel's...

If you go back, to the first time "Sabbath" is mentioned in Scripture, you will see that it is associated with the Manna cycle in Exodus 16. The people ran out of food and complained to Moses. God then told Moses to tell the people to begin gathering manna for six days and then there would...

In I Corinthians 15 Paul quotes from Psalm 8. This is the great resurrection chapter, where he proves that because Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, so also shall we be raised. And then, in explaining our resurrection, he says in verses 22 and 23, 22 For as in Adam all die, even so, in...

Does anyone know what being under the Law is? Logabe

Hobie, what are you trying to do, vex my soul unto death? Very good, and very scriptural. There is the need to believe what is read in the Book, so there could be a struggle there, but God willing, we will be able to believe Him. A rather large bite to chew, nevertheless, full of life and...

Okay, let's try to unravel some scripture so we can see the purpose of the Resurrection. The first and most important pattern is that Jesus was raised bodily from the tomb. The disciples came to the tomb to look for Him, but He had risen. His resurrection was NOT the same thing as His...

Martin, I'm not sure what your question is... but I will comment on what you are saying when you give me a little more detail. Let me go deeper into the last post I made so the readers can understand the purpose of the blood. The blood was to be poured out upon the ground as atonement for our...

Because the soul has been traditionally considered to be the seat of immortality in virtually every religion, the role and function of man's spirit has been largely unknown. This has caused religions to venerate the soul, as if it were both immortal and capable of bringing men to perfection...

15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17 So the dragon was...

Yes...but left out of what? Salvation? No, the 1st Resurrection. Hebrews 11:35. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; Christians do not lose their Savation, but they will...

God gave Moses three signs while he was at the burning bush. These three signs prophesied the manner in which the people would come to believe in the true God. If they did not believe the first sign, they would believe the second. If they did not believe the second, they would believe the...

Let me try to explain what Butch5 is talking about as for as our salvation being in three stages. God told Israel they were to commemorate their main experiences in certain ceremonies conducted upon specific holidays, or festivals. The three main celebrations were Passover, Pentecost, and...

Let me give you some of my references, Jeremy Taylor, author of Systematic Hellology, which advocates the common belief in eternal torment, later writes a modified view in Jeremy Taylor's Works, Vol. III, p. 43. Though the fire is everlasting, not all that enters it is everlasting . . . . "...

Bigape...you have some really good answers and let's discuss who God's people are. I thought when we believe on the Lord Jesus, " We are His people". Tell me who Paul is talking to in Rom. 6, 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase? 2 May it never be! How...
