Amen, brother. The Gospels are New Covenant. How could they be anything else? Axehead

Law isn't just the Mosaic Law; "law" is anything humans can do--any human effort apart from abiding in Christ. So when Paul writes in Romans 6 that we aren't under law, but under grace, that means that we aren't under ANY sort of human works--even how much we believe, how faithful we are, or...

If your heart is calling out to your Father, don't attribute it to a lack of being led, for it is proof that you are being led.

Are you both members of the same church and what is that church? I certainly believe dragonfly is a member of Christ's church. What other churches are there? Are you speaking of a human institution? I am not a member of any man's religious institution. How do you define sin? Anything that is...

Some teach that the Gospels are still part of the Law, and are Old Testament teachings. First of all, note that the authors of the Gospels viewed Christ’s teaching as gospel teaching, not an extension of the law. Looking at the scriptures below, we notice that these Gospel authors claim that...

Hi RichardBurger, I was wondering what your testimony was? I am not looking for how you were saved and came to the knowledge of Christ but what is your present testimony of the Life of Christ in your life? What has His life done to alter the way you think and act (we are new creatures, right)...

Hi Haz and RichardBurger, I was wondering if you consider the following works? If yes, what kind of works would you consider them? 1. "abiding in Christ" (John 15) 2. "putting to death the deeds of the flesh" as the Spirit leads. (Rom_8:13) 3. Walking in holiness (without which no man shall...

Not a problem seekandfind. Everything's cool. I much rather prefer fellowship and opening of God's Word to debate, any day. Looking forward to conversing with you in other discussions. Axehead

And what about His commandments to you, personally? Of course, they do not contradict Scripture or lead one into sin. That would not be His voice, would it? The Spirit gives the written letter, life and the Spirit leads us into all truth? Christianity is not a belief system, it is a...

seekandfind, I don't know how you missed my point, but you certainly did. We know there are Biblicists and "Scholars" today that nullify the Word of God with their textual criticism and "scholarship" and they show that they have absolutely no relationship with the Spirit of God by their...

Hi seekandfind, To be clear. I do love the Scriptures. But Christianity is not a book religion as many have made it (such as Islam and their Koran). We serve a living, dynamic God who wants to lead us daily by His Word and His Spirit. The Spirit gives the Scriptures life - the letter without...

I agree with Dragonfly. My desire is to walk after the Spirit because much of the Shepherd's leading and instructions are not written down. To be sure, what He tells me does not contradict Scripture (He does not lead me into sin). For instance, if I am at an intersection in life and have 2...

Sorry, I missed this statement. 1 John 2:1-2 Chapter 2 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the...

Skeptics of the Word of God often like to point out that the word “Trinity” is not found in the Scriptures; however, the Word “Godhead” most certainly is. We find the “Godhead” mentioned in Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, and Colossians 2:9. Colossians 2:9 states it all so well... “For in Him [Christ]...

Here are some works that we are commanded to do: (these are not suggestions) Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts...

The basis of the New Covenant is Jesus Christ and His shed blood for the remissions of sins. Mat_26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Axehead

Let's examine another view of Righteousness, that we hear about today. Some take the view that one cannot be free from sin, just forgiven. In many places one sees the motto: "Christians aren't perfect just forgiven." The acceptance of imperfection and unrighteousness seems to be the norm for the...

We have a conflict between the flesh and the Law. Flesh will not come under subjection to the Law of God. Is the Law sin? Romans 7:7. No, the flaw is not in the Law, but in the sinful creature who lives under it. The Law is like its Giver, "holy and righteous and good," vs 12. One comes to...

The first good work of righteousness that anyone can do is to "Believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ". This kind of belief implies repentance. Turning to the Lord and believing on Him means turning away from everything else. These are righteous good works and you continue to walk in them, turning...

Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should...
