Yes, I'm being too literal! We can add Kind.

Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves great wealth for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father...

Hi Strat, To me, that's the real problem with these sorts of things. The take-away value is, "you can't believe what you read in the Bible." It's so plainly stated, and even when you study it in-depth, it remains plainly stated, yet people are being told, Well, it SAYS that, but it doesn't...

This is the wonderful Gospel of Grace . . . provided such a man wants to turn from his sins, towards serving the Lord Jesus.

LOL!

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!!!!!

By love.

Better to just go preach the gospel, imo.

Hi Rach, Maybe I can shorten it down further still . . . Law good, people bad. Law weak, because people bad. Jesus good, trade with bad people. Now people good, law done, and Jesus still good. Love in Christ, Mark ;) I've long thought that if you know the right interpretation, it becomes...

2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 (1) Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, (2) that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the...

1 Timothy 6:11 "But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness." Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand." Ephesians 4:1-3 "I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy...

Acts 15:5-30 LITV (5) But some of those rose up from the sect of the Pharisees who had believed, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the Law of Moses. (6) And the apostles and the elders were assembled to see about this matter. (7) And much disputation...

What is best for that person? I think different people in different situations may need different things. It can be difficult to know sometimes, praying for wisdom and seeking Godly counsel can be very important. Love in Christ, mark

I don't know any christians that follow the law like the Jews do, but the law is from the same, unchanging God. Are all the details of the law only meant for Israel, or should christians follow it to the letter as well? Is there real proof that we should or shouldn't? Biblical proof, something...

Thoroughly

Episkopos, "walk with God in perfection"?

Hi James, I think you may have misunderstood me. I do not say that we make demands of God. What I am saying is that the exceptions given in the Law were specific. The duties of the priest, and taking emergency action. Jesus also let us know another. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath...

A man I worked for, a Christian man, had a pocket on the side of his esophagus. It became abcessed, and he was operated on. During the surgery, the doctor cut the opposite side of his esophagus, never noticing it. Shortly after the surgery, the pocket, which had not actually been fixed...

How great is God's mercy? He even redeemed me! Not only from my sin and death, though that would have been enough! Not only from my wasted life, though that would have been enough! He has given me love and peace and joy, with a certain hope of mercies and grace forever! How great is His...

So you are not saying then that keeping the Sabbath is required, but that you may if you wish? And if you wish, you can choose a different day? Simply that we all pick one day to do no work on? That I have no disagreement with that. It's good to have a day off. However, I find that my days...
