    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    (cont'd from #91) Also, the subject for me is not up for debate. I believe that those who follow the narrow path that leads to life will adhere to the kjv and those who head down the broad path that leads to destruction will follow after watered down, modern translations that do not have the...

    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    Hi. In the kjv, Romans 1:5 speaks of "obedience to the faith"...whereas later, in Romans 16:26, "the obedience of faith" is spoken of. Not that I am in disagreement with your statements.

    The old image of redemption and the new.

    The law is a schoolmaster... The question is...what does it teach us? If it teaches us that we cannot be holy and that we are to just give up on being holy... Then I don't see how that in any way glorifies the Lord or accomplishes His purposes in the life of the believer. Is it not the...

    The old image of redemption and the new.

    There are many biblical passages that teach us that we must repent in order to be saved. I would suggest reading Ezekiel 33:11-20 and really digging into what it means for your life...really meditating on its contents. The question that I would also have is, once a person comes to Christ, does...

    Commandments or Cross ?

    I would suggest reading carefully the following scriptures and determining their logic. Psa 103:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psa 103:13, Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. Psa 103:14, For...

    Commandments or Cross ?

    That is an abject lie; which you have concluded by judging a thread by its title; without looking at the content of the thread to see what is written therein.

    Commandments or Cross ?

    Here is my response to his attack against me in that thread:

    Commandments or Cross ?

    I think it only fair that the thread or post in question be given a fair look at. So, I am posting the link here. Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord. @Behold has not addressed the scriptures that I posted or the logic of those scriptures; and he has also...

    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    2Ti 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17, That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I assume that you believe that training and instruction...

    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    Those who aren't ready to bear holiness, the law is a schoolmaster to bring them to Christ (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20, Psalms 19:7 (kjv)). So, I am not wasting my breath. Such people will understand from my preaching that they are sinners in need of the Saviour (Romans 3:20); who is able to...

    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    It should be clear that if anyone is born again, the love of the Lord has been shed abroad in their hearts through the Holy Ghost who is given unto them (Romans 5:5). This love is not impractical (1 John 3:17-18). It is also the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law in the life of the...

    Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.

    Gal 5:18, But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. This is true (Galatians 6:13). However, as believers we are not bound by the letter but are to be obedient to the spirit of what is written (Romans 7:6). So, while we cannot keep the letter of the law, the righteousness of...

    Psa 103:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psa 103:13, Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. Psa 103:14, For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. Psa 103:15, As for man, his days...

    "Loving yourself"

    @amadeus, I think that you should read Psalms 58:3.

    The old image of redemption and the new.

    Where do you suggest I get help? I have already given my heart to Christ. If He hasn't helped me, and if He can't help me, then there is absolutely no hope for anyone. The reality is that there is a very real spiritual application to my "dreams and visions"... I believe that my dream...

    The old image of redemption and the new.

    Let me warn you in advance....this post may be a little graphic. The Lord gave me a dream last night. There was an image of my redeemed soul on my toilet, like a reflection on the water, that had been placed there the last time I had gone to the bathroom. When I peed on it, it dissolved. I...

    Born again Christians do not use caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, OR ANY OTHER PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS...

    If using wine for your frequent stomach ailments is not drunkenness (for Paul told Timothy to partake of a little wine for medicinal purposes), then using a little medicine for a psychiatric problem is not pharmakeia. Drunkenness is in the same list as witchcraft. Timothy would not have been...

    The Lord Jesus Christ never drank alcohol - THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IN ANY FORM IS A SIN!

    Most assuredly, if we look on the wine when it is red, it will get us into trouble (Proverbs 23:31-35). However, Paul said to Timothy to take a little wine for his frequent stomach ailments (1 Timothy 5:23); and I believe that this justifies using substances that would otherwise be addictive...
