This scripture does indeed show that we are not to let anyone judge us in regard to a sabbath day; which indicates that any judgment of us in regard to a sabbath day is unfounded. I don't believe that Jesus did away with the law of the sabbath; but I do believe that He did re-define it (Hebrews...

Joe 1:1, The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. (Exo 10:1–20 ) Joe 1:2, Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Joe 1:3, Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell...

You do not even know me, @Christophany... I know that I have changed my position quite a few times over the years of frequenting message boards such as these. So, your accusation against me that I am "unteachable" remains unfounded. If you want to teach me, teach me with the word of God...

You are thanking Him presumptuously....because you are on the wrong side of that debate. Most assuredly, you are right in that truly, we are saved through nothing but the blood of Jesus. But, you are wrong in that you do not seem to understand that the blood of Jesus does not only justify a...

There is no such thing as "computer ink"... There is plenty of room on the internet to hold all of the data that you can muster to input.

Of course, willful sins are the exception to the rule. It is past, present, and future sins that are ignorant and unintentional that are obviously covered by the blood before they are committed.

The "second benefit" (2 Corinthians 1:15)..."entire sanctification" (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv)) is something that happens in a moment of time...perhaps as the end result of a process in which we are gradually becoming more like Christ...when we reach the goal. At that time we will not...

I learn my lessons from the word of the Lord and will not be swayed by the teachings of man... Psa 118:8, It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Psa 118:9, It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. Jhn 16:13, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of...

It speaks of resting in the Lord... Is that not what the sabbath is all about? Taking a day of rest in which you spend time meditating on and contemplating God's word so that you can apply it for the rest of the week... I find that when I came into a relationship with Christ, it became my...

I agree. If someone is truly born again, they should not be committing sins in the future. However, as believers in Christ, we are not under the law (Romans 6;14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6). And, this is not to say that we are...

Actually God gave circumcision to the patriarchs. Paul had an issue with circumcising Gentiles because circumcision of the flesh is not a necessary thing to be initiated into the faith of Christ; it is strictly a Jewish observance.

Try Matthew 11.28-30... Mat 11:28, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29, Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Mat 11:30, For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...

I think that normal people are aware that repenting away from sins is a major aspect of what is required in order to enter into the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ... It is only those who have been deceived by false teachers who would have a different opinion. Not only is it common sense to...

He actually does forgive us of future sins if we are of His elect; knowing that we will be walking in the light as He is in the light and therefore will be confessing our sins so that (because He is faithful and just) He will forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness...

And it only substantiates my viewpoint that Jesus re-defined the law (Hebrews 7:12) so that we are not any longer bound by the letter but will be obedient to the spirit of what is written (Romans 7:6, 2 Corinthians 3:6).

@Christophany, I think that you have brought this thing up out of Galatians 2 as an argument against what the Bible teaches about the doctrine of entire sanctification. However, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds, casting down...

Hos 2:19, And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. Hos 2:20, I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

However, you do not define repentance as turning away from sin. You need to understand that from my perspective, as one who understands and knows that repentance is to turn away from sin, that when you attempt to re-define repentance in such a manner, you are denying that repentance (away from...

Chapter and verse, please. I'm not saying you're wrong; I just want to be the Berean and do the study for myself.

Jesus died "for" my sins...that means I am to give my sins to Him. The fact that He rose from the dead means that I am also risen with Him (Colossians 2:12) and that I am saved by His life (Romans 5:10)...from my sins (Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14). Obviously we don't save ourselves from sin. We...
