No, grace does not abolish law. But the NT is very clear: if you try and live by the law, you better get it perfect. The fact is, only one man EVER got it perfect; Christ Jesus. When we try and live a life by law, ALL we get is legalism which leads to the road the Pharisees walked; we know how...

If you think that I 'got all that' out of six simple words, you weren't really reading what I wrote. Christ telling us that he will 'give us rest' is but a confirmation of who he truly is for us, of what we can find in him. Those words are not a doctrine in and of themselves. And just because...

But as I understand it, Dispensationalists would then be in a bind of sorts. How could they take both passages 'literally'? To meet the 7 years...the x amount of days (sorry, can't be bothered looking them up now, but basically 2 lots of 3 and a half years), AND having that 'time cut...

Nah....she's just a sucker for animals and has ADD, so has no impulse control! She'll be after the next shiny thing as soon as her bank account recovers....which may take a while! She has learned a valuable lesson, however. Animals are expensive...and they poo a lot. And once money is gone, it's...

Yes, true. But it's also essential, I think, to see what scripture, as a whole, is meaning when it speaks of "Israel". Was it just a people, just a nation, just a land? Was it supposed to point to something, did it have a purpose in God's redemptive plan? How does the NT writers view Israel and...

Honestly, I don't have an opinion on it. IF people want to get a tattoo, it's entirely their own choice on when and what. I have no place to judge on it. I think as Christians under Christ we have to recognize that people have that freedom and it's up to their own conscience...up to their own...

Hi Chris, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, I have a bit of a busy week! Can I ask what a "Acts 28" Dispensationalists is? I don't believe I've heard of that before? I agree that 'you and I' were not in mind while the apostles were writing their letters and books, however, I'm...

Oh...far too busy...she bought herself a puppy...

Well...therein itself lies a great deal of debate!

Please bear with me a little...I wrote the OP at the beginning of last year, so, it's not that fresh in my mind! It's not so much that I'm 'focused' on wrath. Or even that I dispute that God does pour out his wrath upon an ungodly world. It's mostly that it seems to me that the passages...

Ah, Nancy...you're the least "drive a person nuts" person here! So don't worry about it! The forum is where I get all my eschatology talk in too. I do a fair bit of other stuff with hubby and other people, but I'd drive them nuts with all my thoughts/questions on that...so I bring it here to...

Sometimes I wonder if, when it comes to the end and we all get to know 'who was right'...we won't find out that we all were...sort of! And by that I mean, perhaps each 'end times' scenario has a bit of truth in it, and then flies off the handle! Perhaps it's just that we haven't managed to...

Good post :cool:

So...you never feel anger, or admire another woman's (or man's...sorry your profile doesn't say!) appearence? You don't find yourself wishing you had that fancy car your neighbour or friend just purchased....even for a second? Even just a split instant before you remind yourself that you...

It's of interest to me, when in speaking of 'man-made' deception and tradition, that scripture clearly shows the Pharisees to be in Christ's sights most, when it comes to calling out these things. And what...or where, do we see the Pharisees objecting to Christ the most? His 'work' on the...

Oh, it most certainly can be tricky when you're just starting to dip your toes into it! It can be tricky even after you've been swimming in the eschatalogical pool for some time! Just when you think you've got all the terms and positions lined up, someone will pop up with something new and shake...

Hey Enoch, thanks for your reply. First, I must question the interpretive stance on the passages above. Jer 30 speaks of 'that day'...'that day that is so great there is none like it'. We see references to 'the day' in many other OT passages, Joel 1:15; Joel 2:11,31; Zephaniah 1:7,14; Ezekiel...

Ug! Don't you hate it when you have this great big (awesome!) post written out, then your connection crashes, and you loose it?! :rolleyes: I don't really have the time to noodle it out again, either, sorry! But... Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or...

Why? You clearly recognize there's a reason why we don't need to keep the Sabbath now...not after Christ has come. Where in scripture tells us that once he comes again we must return to the types and shadows of the 'old covenenat'? The one he had to come and save us from?

See...this. You think "replacement theology" is an abomination...and yet you go about claiming this. Can you truly not see what blasphemy this would be to Christ, to God...to the work on the cross? To the plan of redemption that came and made a better way? You would return us to the type and...
