Don't walk away, RUN. I broke with the False Church 30 years ago. God's people are breaking with it everyday as they hear their Groom calling and they eventually respond, At first it can be confusing because you think where you are is God ordained. Eventually, you gain understanding and light...

Your ESV version is funny. "the law is not laid down for the just" 1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers...

That is an excellent verse Dragonfly! The Law is not made for a righteous man and no one apart from Jesus Christ dwelling in them can be called righteous. Also, the righteousness WITHOUT (apart from) the Law, was witnessed by the LAW and the PROPHETS. The law and the prophets saw another...

Veteran, I'm a Veteran, too. I assume that's what your handle means. I was saved while in the military. Take a look at this article and maybe when you are finished you think twice before calling your fellow brothers and sisters, WIMPS. Nonresistance is a principle taught in the Scriptures. The...

Firstly, you are interpreting those verses through your own biases (agenda??). You should look at the whole life of Paul and see who he preached to (the Gentiles), who he hung out with and loved (Carnal Corinthians who were immoral). Secondly, we are not taught to emulate Christ. Both Christ...

[/size][/font][/color] Glad you said that! Looks like you are getting ready to contradict yourself. [/size][/font][/color] B[/url]luxTunic, Ye err not knowing the Scriptures. Don't you know that when a person dies, these laws have no power over them? That is what Romans 7 is about. The...

Hi Dragonfly, It always seemed more important to me to understand Romans 7 in my Christian walk then say, Revelation. I knew that whatever it meant, it went to the very core of my walk with Christ. I think these are key verses. Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not...

Thank you very much, dragonfly. The inspiration for the verse was from the Lord and the inspiration for the screen name was from a very dear friend. Axehead

The tablets of stone were for stony hearts. They require perfection in the flesh and that is impossible. That is why we have turned to Jesus Christ. When we die, and are buried with Him in baptism and raised in newness of Life, we have been freed from the Law's condemnation and redeemed from the...

For those that are in Christ, the law has no effect. The law only has effect over one while they are alive. You cannot get free from the law unless either the law dies or you die. And the law will never die, as Jesus said (until heaven and earth pass away), so that means there is only way to get...

HOW THE LAW IS "ABOLISHED" for THOSE IN CHRIST - Part I Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first OLD. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. OLD palaio pal-ah-yo'-o From G3820; to make (passively become) worn out, or declare obsolete: -...

By Jim Fowler If I endorse a particular millennial viewpoint of eschatology, and am convinced that this is "the plan of God for the ages," but do not have love, then all I have is dogmatic theology. If I think that I have the prophetic details all figured out, and the mysteries of the book of...

[/font][/color] Hi Dragonfly, This resonates with me because we are either conformed to the image of Christ (fruit of the Spirit) or the image of Satan (works of the flesh). Thus we will have the mark of God on us (renewed mind) or the mark of Satan (corrupt and evil mind). I too, have never...

May you all enjoy the Sabbath Rest of God (Christ) each and every day as He has given us a new heart to worship Him and rest in Him (from our own strivings and works of righteousness). Are you at REST everyday? He wants us to be. He has provided Himself as our Sabbath Rest. So, if you are in...

If you have given ground to the powers of darkness, you must deal with that first, then their hold on you will be broken in Jesus Name and you will be set free. Axehead

Sin is: Anything that is contrary to the character of God. Any activity not done in faith (Rom 14:23) and therefore not derived from God. (May include hidden, secret, unknown sins). May include besetting sins; habituated, life-dominating sins (Heb. 12:1-2) Point 2 examples: Ps. 19:12,13 -...

Actually, the idea to "forsake all and follow Jesus", comes from Jesus Christ Himself. Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Of course this cannot be done by ourselves. Anyone who thinks they can walk the Christian walk...

Do you mind if we deal with this concept that we are to "emulate Christ". That is not what the NT teaches. The Christian life is not emulating or imitating Christ. The Christian life cannot be lived by any man and Jesus never taught us to emulate Him. The Christian life cannot be lived unless...
