Heb 7:11, If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Heb 7:12, For the priesthood being changed...

Hi amigo, Jesus did in fact claim to violate the sabbath in that He said, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work; and that day was the sabbath (John 5:17 and context). The letter of the sabbath law was that you shall not do "any" work on it (Exodus 20:10). Jesus violated the letter as it was...

Jesus reinterpreted the sabbath laws to say that it was lawful to do well on the sabbath days: He changed the law (Hebrews 7:12). Because originally, the letter of the law allowed no one to do any work on the sabbath days (Exodus 20:10). Jesus changed this so that you can do work on the...

This is an interpretation that says something completely opposite of what God Holy Spirit inspired John to write down. I'm going to believe what God's Holy Spirit inspired John to write down. I'm not agreeing with your interpretations of the scriptures. You are not believing God's Holy Spirit...

Where or how have I said that Jesus is an outright liar? I think that you have in fact accused Him of being a liar, for He said on the sabbath day, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. (John 5:17). Here, the Lord was claiming to violate the sabbath principle of Exodus 20:10, which says...

The context of Revelation 5:8 is that the Lamb now takes the book and its seals, that the opening of will put in motion the events of the book of Revelation, and opens it, in response to the prayers of all the saints throughout history, who, like John in the same chapter, I'm certain wept...

Also, you need to consider John 15:16... Jhn 15:16, Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. I do consider that while...

2Pe 1:3, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2Pe 1:4, Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the...

I disagree with you. Jesus did break the sabbath and Jesus was making Himself equal with God. 2Co 4:3, But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2Co 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of...

I don't remember the name of the "saint" in particular...but the story was related recently on these very boards...and I have better things to do than to search out the post where the story was related. I'm surprised that you are not aware of the actual story. I will not "admit" that I'm...

As for miracles being done through praying to the saints....you ought to consider Matthew 24:24, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, and Revelation 16:13-14...especially since this appears to be power to work miracles through praying to dead people...which is necromancy. Magic spells that have their power...

Like a math problem. Philippians 2:12 is reiterated nicely in 2 Peter 1:10.

Not taking any chances personally...especially when praying to Jesus is sufficient.

There is another, recent thread on this topic: The Sermon on the Mount.

It is not untrue. it is qualified by what is written in the next verse: 1Jo 2:21, I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. What it means is that when we hear anything being presented to us as a fact, if we have the...

I also wanted to ask all of those who deny Christ's Deity: What possible reason could you have in your hearts for wanting to do so? Because the testimony in scripture is clear that Jesus Christ is the Lord God. So there must be some internal, emotional or psychological reason why you are...

@BARNEY BRIGHT, Apparently you don't have the confidence in your own posts to be able to subject them to scrutiny by allowing the quote feature to be used on them. Thus you have placed your responses in quotes so that i cannot use the quote feature. I believe this means that you don't want me...

Jesus subjected Himself to dependence on the Father as an example to us...for that is what is required of us. Jesus made Himself like us in every way in order that He might show us the way. In Exodus 20:10, it should be clear that the Pharisees were interpreting the scriptures literally and...

Exactly! You are to give up...to surrender...to come to the end of yourself.

You Catholics can chance it that you are not committing the sin of necromancy when you pray to the dead... I am not going to take such a chance in my own personal life.
