    Anyone Know How NOT to sin?

    The children of God have already been sealed with the Holy Spirit the instant they believed in the work of Jesus on the cross. 2 Cor 1:22 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. NKJV Eph 1:13-14 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    Not by the Jews. All through OT the Gentiles, with very few exceptions, were the enemies of the Jewish people. As for the idea that the Jews considered the Gentiles to be dogs look at the scriptures. Matt 7:6 6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they...

    How do OT promises made by God to the nation of Israel apply to Christians?

    In a word, NO. The Jews refused their promises when they had Jesus killed. Then God turned to the Gentiles with His grace. God has set in motion a plan of salvation that no longer depends on a person living in sinful flesh to be able to keep His perfect laws. So Jesus kept them for us...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    The Gentiles were considered to be dogs by the Jews. So I don't think Peter had the Gentiles in mind when he said that. As a matter of scripture revelation Peter did not know the Gentiles were to be saved until he had a vision that they were, and that was several years after the Pentecost...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    ************ You said it all when you said the following; "One must first recognize they are a sinner in need of a Savior. Then one places their faith in the death, burial, and resurrection for salvation. Then begins the sanctification and continual repenting from sin. Paul speaks of it as...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    You seem to be the one that has the issue with sin in your life. You seem to think that your repentance saves you from them but as for me, Jesus took care of that problem for me. My issue with you is your idea that a person has to be sinless (caught up on their repentance rituals) to be saved...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    So you have stopped sinning, right? If you are still committing sins of the flesh then you ought to stop saying that others should stop sinning. Stop being a hypocrite and let the children of God live in the freedom and peace that Jesus gave them. You look to Job and quote scriptures and they...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    I can't get over the idea that if you get on a forum and talk about sin it is the others that sin because, of course, the poster talking about sin has stopped sinning to hear them tell it. What a bunch of hypocrites because they sin too. They think that they can get on a forum and talk about...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    Tell us how you please God. Don't you know that if you refuse to believe His Son, Jesus, you are certainly on the path to destruction. Those that refuse to believe their sins were paid for by Jesus' shed blood on the cross are saying it doesn't do anything and I certainly don't think God likes it.

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    From what I read in the Bible God dealt only with His people, the Jews after Abraham. The Gentiles were left out. Therefore you can use the O.T. to set up your religion beliefs all you want to but you need to be a Jew. You continue to try and use what was written to the Jews under the law...

    "Baptism now saveth you" (Jn 3)

    Since you claim that what was said to the Jews under law was said to the Gentiles too, then tell me, have you sold all you have and given it to the poor and are now following Jesus? Since you say His commandments to the Jews are for us to follow surely this was a commandment based on love for...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    You have been posting much more than just repentance. You have posted a person has to keep from sinning in order to keep themselves saved. To me you are saying if we do not repent we lose our salvation. to me that is saying we are made perfect by what we do in repentance. 3 Are you so...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    You can not put to death the deeds of the body. Only Jesus' work on the cross puts death to the deeds of the flesh. Again you usurp the Work of Jesus by substituting your works. We are saved by faith in what God has done. Not what we do. If you claim we are justified by our works the we...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    So, in your mind living in the spirit is works of the flesh to be good. You don't know what it means to be led by the Spirit. You think it is doing works of the flesh. When did the flesh become the spirit? You posted; "by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14...

    A Study of Peter's sermon at Pentecost

    John 14:20 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and “”you in Me“”, and I in you. NKJV - 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in...

    The Doctrine of Christ

    Only God can create. Gen 1:26-27 26 Then God said,"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Why do I have to confess my sins when I am aware of them and have placed my faith in Jesus who paid for those sins? For me to do an act of repentance to remove my sins of the flesh is the same as saying Jesus did not pay for them, my act of repentance pays for them. You can quote all the...

    Water baptism (a study

    This was posted by NetChaplain on 8-9-16, 3:33 and is the absolute truth but I don't think the religious want to hear it. ""By “the righteousness of the law” is meant “the righteous requirement of the law” (Rom 8:4); and the righteous requirement of the law states that “the soul that sins, it...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Spoken like a true Jew who were under the commandments of the Law. A child of God is not under the law. You are only seeing what you want to see. A child of God is not a child because he/she is sinless in the flesh. The scriptures are clear in that only faith in Jesus' work on the cross will...
