He reaped what he sowed; in that his uncle Laban also later deceived him concerning the fact that he gave him Leah before Rachel when Rachel was promised. And in that he changed his wages ten times.

No, I do not teach like a one-stringed guitar, as you seem to want me to do. However, in the post that you were responding to just then, there is ample evidence that a man must needs repent if he is going to enter in to the kingdom.

I do have much of the Bible memorized and it is true that I have not created a perfect systematic theology in all the verses that run through my mind...however, I am getting closer to a theology that never contradicts itself. You are also persecuting me over things that I have said in the past...

No, the commandments of the LORD are kept because of love for Jesus Christ (John 14:15)...not only to justify one's self. If a man is already justified through faith in Christ, his keeping of the law is not an attempt at justification but an outpouring of love that he has towards the Lord over...

I consider that the Bible teaches that those who abide in Jesus Christ do not sin (1 John 3:6); for they walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit...and as a result the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in them (Romans 8:4)...see 1 John 3:4. But I consider also that if anyone has been...

There was nothing hateful in my heart when I said that to you, friend. It was simply an exhortation. I even typed it with a smile on my face. No, I did not call you an idiot...I told you not to be one. It's alright, I will still read everything that you say and will respond to those things...

Bring forth your accusation. Or, I will simply say that I am concerned for you now; and never tell you the reason why.

Does this post address anything in particular that has been said?

Don't be an idiot. Of course you can judge that thread based on the title; or you can delve deeper into the realities of what I am saying by it. I actually have not said that people are forgiven because they keep the law; I have said that people will keep the law because they are forgiven, if...

I agree with this; because if you are truly born again, you have the fear of the LORD in you and shall not depart from Him because of that for ever fear. However, if you do not have the fear of the LORD in you, I would question as to whether you are genuinely born again. At the very least I...

I normally give reference to scripture and expect the person who reads to be a Berean about it if they want to go to the immediate context. It should be clear, however, that sometimes the Holy Spirit takes verses out of context, such as when Matthew quoted Hosea 11:1 in Matthew 2:15 as...

No, the author of Hebrews quotes Jeremiah to say that the law (as referred to by Jeremiah) is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10).

No, I am not afraid of the scrutiny. You have already questioned my safety in the Lord so I feel that it is best to hash this out in public so that if my position is defensible, it will be readily seen. For I believe that it is defensible.

Why? I am actually doing quite well in my walk with Christ as well as in my understanding of His grace in my life.

You can know something and proclaim the opposite and that makes you all the more accountable for proclaiming what you know is not the complete truth. I am concerned for the people that you are misleading here...

Again, Jesus was aiming with verses such as those, at people whose possessions are possessing them; He is not saying that it is a sin to have ownership of material wealth. Consider. 1Ti 6:17, Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches...

OSAS vs. NOSAS reconciled.

Also, I have made my case for the idea that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament.

No, that is referring to seeking to be justified by the law. If you know that you have been justified through faith in Jesus Christ, and obey His commandments out of love for Him, this is not going to condemn you if you do not keep all of the commandments perfectly. You have been justified...
