Yes, if you didn’t read about the Spirit in the Bible today, you would not even know there is one. You determine by context. That is plain to see. Just as we are not to build an ark just because Noah was told to. Jesus said.. preach the gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is...

Let’s look at Abraham.. Genesis 12:8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord . Genesis 13:4 Unto the place of the...

Are you saying that Christ....has no law? It’s just “Christ” and that’s it? Why aren’t all men saved? I would say most people on here would respond by saying....because they don’t believe in Christ. Well, where did they get that idea? Was it because Christ said...unless you believe that I...

2 Cor 3:6 is contrasting the old law with the new. It does not say we are no longer under a law. It even said they were Abel ministers of the “New Covenant”, not of the letter. The “letter” referring to the mosaic law. If you don’t believe me then read vs 7. So, yes, we today are not under...

In short I believe that calling on the name of the lord is when man does what God has commanded in order to seek his favor or to be accepted by him. To do anything in the name of the Lord is to do it by his authority or through his direction. Man cannot just do anything and say they did it in...

Here’s another thought. I was just asked....are we to push law or Christ as if they are mutually exclusive. So, are LAW and CHRIST mutually exclusive? Can you have Christ without law? I say no you can’t. Heb 5:9 tells us that Christ is the author of eternal salvation to all who OBEY him...

give me an example of your following statements... “pushes the letter of the law without regard to the spirit of the law” And also.. “So then a legalist leaves Christ out of the equation”

Legalism? This word is completely misused and misunderstood. First of all it is not found in the Bible. This is a made up term by man. A legalist is someone who strictly adheres to law. Anybody who is a Christian must be a legalist. Why? Because Christ has a law. Can you steal today? Can...

One other thing that needs to be discussed is how does one today “call on the name of the Lord”. So, First...what does this mean? Second...how does one “call on the name of the Lord”. Do you want salvation? Then you must call. So, how do you do that?

What does this mean? Both Peter and Paul preached this message. “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved”. This is critical. We have two inspired apostles stating that this is the way to salvation so we need to know what this is. I am not just going to come out with...

They are not the same. 1 thes 4 is about the second coming of Christ. Mt 24 and Rev are about the coming of Christ in judgement on the jewish nation with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70. There are numerous “comings” of Christ in the Bible. We’ve had his “coming” to earth...

If you go back, and I challenge anyone reading this exchange to look at this. This all started at post 232. I responded with a question to start a Bible study and all I get is one obscure passage. What am I supposed to do with that but read between the lines that Marks became a child of His...

Of course your not on here to just argue. That’s why you have over 1800 responses on here. And I’m sure if I read them you will be in total agreement with everything that has been said. You know how I know that? Because you’re not on here to just argue. I’m not on here to just argue but...

So you don’t want to defend what you believe? 1 pet 3 says be ready ALWAYS to give an answer of the hope that is in you. You obviously believe your hope resides in faith alone. I guess you’re not ready to give an answer for that. Here’s the irritating thing....people post passages with no...

Isn’t that what you believe though? Do you think this is all there is to becoming a Christian? Just believe only? Does the Bible have anything else to say on the subject? Two chapters later Jesus described the born again process consisting of two elements water and Spirit. Where is the...

ABSOLUTELY! Just keep watching and I will continue to demonstrate it.

I don’t understand. Are you saying...that those who are “truly born again” won’t sin? How can you tell if one is “truly born again”. I know of a case of a Baptist pastor having a year long affair with a choir girl. I’m sure the entire congregation considered him one to be “truly born again”.

John 1 says he gave those that believe....”power” or some translations say he gave them “the right” to become sons of God. It does not say that those that “believe only” are then born again. Just 11 chapters later we see individuals that “believed on him” but they would not confess. Jn 12:42...

You are just full of assumptions today aren’t you. Rom 8:9 tells us you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, IF IF IF the Spirit of God dwells in you. There is no where in this passage that tells us HOW that happens. You are just assuming something the text does not say, just like you did...

What did you do specifically to become Gods spirit child? Don’t give me some vague “born again” response. Be specific.
