    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Where in scripture does it state that one is forbidden to help a neighbour on the Sabbath? Even the Pharisees would lift a sheep out of a ditch on the Sabbath. But not a human? Who said picking fruit when you're hungry was sinful on the Sabbath? Is God not merciful toward the poor and hungry?

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    “1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. ” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 KJV...

    The deepest human desire. - The longing to be safe at home.

    Many people experienced the atmosphere of heaven while in the presence of the Son of God. They saw the Father's love in action. The received healing, hope, and a promise far beyond their pueblos experience with the religious teachers of their day. Many believed on Him after witnessing the...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    The idea of reaching out to the world is to convince the world that there is a God Who loves them, Who sent His Son to die for them as an Atonement for sin. Also, that this same God not only has the power, but is willing to share that power with sinners that they may overcome and live lives...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    "You would be familiar with Isaiah 58, Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins". We need to be specific, and call sin by its right name. This, Jesus did. But Jesus never once did that with people outside...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    If I thought the God I believed in was capable of torturing members of His most precious beloved creation, then yes, I would be afraid. Very afraid. But praise God, the Good I brief on, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ isn't a God to be afraid of. He can be trusted. Lived. Worshipped...

    What's Your Interpretation?

    With 2 apparently defensible opinions that are opposite, and unsure which direction to take, I suggest one digs deeper into scripture in order to discover Who God is and what He is like. His unique revealed character as found in His Son will determine whether you think God is capable of some...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    I am saying that one of the main false doctrines of Mystery Babylon the Great is gross, disgusting, and blasphemous. Does it bother you that you share that doctrine with the Mother of Harlots? Did you know that she was the one who invented it? And no, she didn't put it in the Bible, she simply...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Not God's brand of justice... yours. You are the one who seems to delight in your belief that God is painted by so many as a tyrant of far greater evil than any despot who ruled on the earth. Such a gross, disgusting thoughtless blasphemous mischaracterisation. Satan also would delight in...

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    You are playing word games. Religious liberty is a God given right. Free will is enshrined in creation. Even Lucifer himself who set up the original rebellion with nearly half the population of heaven, was given leave to self rule.... just not in heaven. The right to choose who we worship is...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    The Ten Commandments written indelibly on tables of stone and stored permanently under the mercy seat in the ark, of which there is the original in heaven being God's throne. The Holy Spirit has written that very same law of love on the hearts and minds of those who love Him. Love is the...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    I agree. But the law still stands. The Spirit of Christ helps us to obey it.

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    God gave several laws to Israel through Moses. Civil laws. Health laws. Sanctuary laws. But only one law was placed inside the ark, under the mercy seat, a metaphor for God's throne. God's own moral law, the standard of morality for all creation. Those other laws were added because the...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Hey bro, hold up a second. We are talking about some serious stuff here, don't you go just quoting scripture that seems to suit your argument. No way ought you to do that. You quoted Hebrews 8:7, then jumped to verse 13! As if you can formulate a doctrine based on two verses missing so much...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Can't be done. God imposes His will on no-one. Forsaking sin is a choice. Repentance is a choice. Worshipping the true God in Spirit and Truth is a choice. Receiving the gift of salvation, and being sanctified by the truth of the gospel and God's word, is a choice. The eternal future...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    So where is the justice in any continuing punishment that doesn't end? A continuing punishing means that justice is never actually met. However, if we were to actually believe what the Bible says, that the wages of sin is death, real death where the sinner actually ceases all life, then true...

    You should read this: it explains clearly where your theology is leading, and had had to come to in order to justify certain modern neo-pagan lifestyles... https://www.fulcrum7.com/blog/2026/5/11/the-step-in-the-moral-revolution-is-polyamory

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Every government, whether it be democratic or autocratic, has laws. Even a remote village in the middle of an unknown jungle devoid of all outside contact, will over time develop a set of laws by which the people are governed. Them there are the laws of physics that govern the way we build...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Interesting analogy. I agree with it as far as the earth itself is concerned. It will be cleansed, for God is a consuming fire, and He will consume all sin and all who refuse to part with it. The earth itself will be recreated. And the saved, the redeemed, , will eventually inherit a clean...
