I have a question. Is Paul walking after the Spirit spiritually or physically in Romans 7? He seems to be saying that he is walking after the spirit and the flesh at the same time. How can that be explained by those that say it must be one or the other? I have had many to accuse me of having...

*** LOL, you won't find many who will be kind and respectful to others on a forum. I think that most people look at sin as if it is something that they can decide to get or refuse to get. Most do not understand that sin is in themselves, in their very nature. It is not something a person in...

Yes they are but that is not the point. The point is that the bank has COMPLETE control of the buying and selling. There is no money that a person can carry in their own pocket to use for exchange. If those that control the bank should wish to cut you off they could easily do so. Rev 13:17...

*** The other day I saw a program where people in Africa were using a system that was not about money as such. They each had a cell phone account where they paid an were paid by others by cell phone. It was a money less system. I think a bank computer kept track of all the transactions. If...

This has become a thread far removed from being an Overview of The Bible. I have posted the several parts to my overview. It is what I see in the Bible. I hope it helps those that will see it for what it says. I am through on this thread. H Richard

*** They do not have sway over a person who trusts in God. You don't see that the believing Jews persecuted the Gentiles under grace by saying they must keep the law of Moses? I guess not since you seem to be doing the same thing. Let me define what I see. Religions = trusting in systems of...

*** Why do you say "sin against me"?

*** NO! they can't. I personally, can see the sin in the world. But more importantly I can see the sin that is in my own sinful flesh. This last part is what others that preach law can not seem to see That is why they lose sight of what Jesus truly did for mankind on the cross and preach law...

*** So, in your opinion, you are saying the child of God does not even bother to keep the law. Who made you their judge? Can you see the torment that they have to live under while living in their sinful flesh? Do you see the torment that others put on them when they constantly tell them they...

*** You are building straw-men. I know of no child of God who " WANTS TO SIN" The child of God lives in a body that sins and can not willfully make that body sinless. If it could then they could be sinless under the law. But as Jesus clearly shows in the scriptures no man/women can make...

*** A: Jesus gave those commands to the 11 (12) Jews who later made an agreement with Paul that Paul would go to the Gentiles and the 11 (12) to the Jews. Gal 2:9 9 and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and...

*** Look at what you wrote and examine it. You have to think that you do not break the law in order to write it. Do you break the law at your own risk?? Don't you realize that mankind CAN NOT KEEP THE LAW? If they could then Jesus' death on the cross would not have been necessary. What...

*** Wonderful and truth-full OP. Everyone should read it. Only those that know (thru faith) that their sins of the flesh have all been taken care of by God will have peace with God in their hearts.

*** In this age of God's grace you are right when you say that salvation was completed at the cross. Only those who put their trust (belief, faith, confidence) in what Jesus did on the cross will be saved in this age of grace. In this age the law has been set aside for the children of God.

*** I hope you are aware that when Jesus came the nation of Israel was under the Law of Moses. Everything Jesus taught was in that law. Are we to be obedient to the Law of Moses?? Or are we to acknowledge that Jesus atoned for all the sins of the world. All of them. The only thing that...

Since the OP was " "What do you think qualifies one to be one of Christ's disciples?" One thing for sure it would not be a person in religions. It was the religious that killed Jesus, stoned Stephens to death, and persecuted Paul for the gospel Jesus gave him for the world.

1 John 5:4-5 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? NKJV *** James 1:1 JAMES Greeting to the Twelve Tribes --- 1 James, a...

*** What has got us to here is that I believe in God's grace and you believe you have to do something to get it. It is the same thing the Jews tried to get Paul's converts to do. In other words you seem to believe that you have to do something to get God's gift. I don't think you understand...

*** The truth is that all of mankind could be "in Christ" since their sins have been atoned for on the cross. But the religious will oppose it This thread is an invitation for anyone to make their own overview of the Bible. Have you done so and given the scriptures that support it? If not...

G. THE OLD REPLACED BY THE NEW: post #13 Most religious people will not say that the gospel changed. But it is plain that it did. The "gospel of the kingdom" was what Jesus and the 12(11) preached. It was the promise of God to the Jews only. The rest of the Gentile nations could only go in...
