The ministry of the law to the saved also has not ended (James 1:25, James 2:10-12).

@GerhardEbersoehn, Are you saying that no one ever receives Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and therefore no one is ever saved? Is that what you're saying? Because that is what you seem to be saying. re #21.

Actually, the law is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5). We are justified by faith in Christ. But those who will be justified by faith in Christ are doers of the...

I suppose that only the Lord knows the heart of a man. Nevertheless, Jesus promises us that if we confess Him before men, He will also confess us before the Father who is in heaven and before the angels of God. So, you are saying that this promise is null and void if it is an insincere...

They speak of what it means for God to perfect His love in us...through us acting out according to the love that He has shed abroad in our hearts.

Nope. The decision to receive is a choice made by man.

Jesus is most definitely divine. He said, after Philip asked Him to "shew us the Father," Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. How then is it that you say, Shew us the Father? (John 14:7-11). It was not the...

Does it?

If rejecting Jesus to the day of one's death and speaking against the Holy Ghost are both situations wherein the person committing those sins are unforgiven, is that not two unpardonable sins?

Distinct; not separate: even according to the major trinitarian creeds. The doctrine of the Trinity is in the Bible. True Trinity. (posts #1-#6).

If we confess Jesus before men, He will also confess us before the Father and before His angels (Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8). If you think that such a thing is not salvational concerning the kingdom then by all means think that. As long as you don't neglect making the confession through...

The only significance of water is in that it provides an accurate representation of what has happened in the heart of the believer...that he has died, been buried, and is raised with Christ in order that he might "walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4). I don't know of any other means by which...

Shows both the plurality and the singularity of our Triune God.

Others have done the research on this and I do believe that it is on the internet what the 613 commandments are specifically. It is not just 300....613 is the more accurate number.

I would contend that both in John 3:16 and 1 Peter 1:5, the root word has to do with genes. Jesus is the only begotten at the time that He spoke the word in John 3:16. After the Cross, others were also begotten through faith in Him. So Jesus ceased to be the only begotten and became the...

What is the Greek word in John 3:16?

chapter and verse for that? So that you can make your teaching clearer and more substantiated. Take a wild trip through the book of Jeremiah to see what the LORD thinks of the queen of heaven.

We receive the Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14); not through faith in the apostles and their successors.

Yes, the one by Chuck Smith. I don't know anything about cannibalism being the argument. I think that the argument is more along the lines of being that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ Himself and not by partaking in a sacrament. The problem with the doctrine of...

It should be obvious, @Tong2020, that in Hebrews 8:8-10 specifically, the Old Testament law is written on the hearts and in the minds of those who are alive under the New Covenant. Maybe address that passage. Other passages that address this issue are Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1...
