You will find it has nothing to do with our willpower. As we abide in Jesus, you will be surprised that you do not respond in the flesh as you once did. Joining up with Christian forums on the internet 20 years ago is the best place to grow, because you will be harassed, called names, and...

Do you remember when you were born again of the Spirit and received gifts of the Spirit? I was a Christian for 30 years before that happened to me. And what I noticed during that moment was a dark heaviness lifting out of my body. All my desires after that were NOT what they used to be. Paul...

Therefore, in light that you do not agree that give is not a key word applying to only the disciples, do you believe in OSAS? Because I've studied Semitic writing styles my understanding hasn't changed. It remains clear to me that the verse regarding snatching out of God's hands cannot be used...

After studying the Semitic (Hebrew) writing styles, I believe by the other titles in Isaiah 9:6, there is no comma after Wonderful. Of the three examples in my OP this is the least troublesome. W, have you given any thought to the key word "gave" "give" that in John 17 only applies to the...

The NASB is a really good translation up to a point. It is missing words and verses because of the corrupted Alexandrian codices that Westcott and Hort, two spiritualists who were fans of Darwin of all people, used in translating the Greek into English. I use the NKJV because it has all the...

That's the point. In Galatians 5:17, the spirit is not God, it is our own, just like Romans 7:25. Those that do not inherit the Kingdom of God do not have God in them to walk in the Spirit. They may have knowledge of what not to do, like the Jews who were trying to Judaize the Galatians with...

Positive meaning Christian. Negative meaning walking in darkness. The verses in 1 John 1 that have the word 'say' are not Christians, so is not about us. They are like the Jews who kept the law so do not think they sin, but do not believe in Christ. See 1 John 2:4. Paul showed the one sin that...

I have found three (so far) publishing errors. Isaiah 9:6 there should be no comma between Wonderful and Counselor. All the other descriptions are more than one word. Wonderful Counselor is the Spirit of Christ. Galatians 5:17 the "S" in Spirit should be our own spirit with a small "s." It...

It doesn't say remarriage either. But verse 39 only refers to women, not men. Why?

I'm not biased against women! I AM a woman. What I'm saying is that even in 1 Corinthians 7 that sounds like both a man or a woman is not bound in the case of if the pagan spouse leaves, Paul ends the lesson that she can let her pagan husband leave, but must be alone until he dies. I assume the...

Yet Paul does imply that for a woman she can only remarry in the Lord once her husband is dead by the law. 1 Cor. 7:39. 39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. Its different for men.

traditions? Huh? You lost me.

It is only the Ten Commandments that were the covenant - Ex. 34:28. The marriage laws are still standing. But those laws that could be fulfilled by Christ are no longer in effect. That goes for the clean and unclean animals. It is no longer a sin to eat a rat. When God commanded Peter to kill...

Yes, I mentioned Abraham's sister earlier in #14.

Parts of the law were necessary for all mankind. Incest was one of those.

There were no mutations in the beginning. That is why Adam and Eve's children married each other, and no mutations for generations. God knew when to make it a law as enough time had passed to make it necessary.

And it is still law.

It is because God knew first and taught mankind. Science finally caught up to what the Bible already taught. I'm surprised you don't know this fact and are trying to argue the science of it all, as if it came first. When mankind disobeyed God's word and incest caused birth defects, then they...

People do not marry close relatives because GOD KNEW of the genetic defects that we only found out about that existed later. But Seth, Cain and Abel married their sisters. Even Abraham's wife was his sister. No problem...yet.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was just using the quotes as addressees, so you would read what I said . Look at Romans 8:9. "But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells within you. And if the Spirit of Christ is not in you, you do not belong to Him. It...
