In Acts 15, it was not only circumcision that was the issue; but the Judaizers were also attempting to place the Gentile disciples under the law of Moses (as being bound to the letter of the law).

We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2).

I would say that Luther and Calvin may have indeed had the Spirit of truth but were also subject to fallibility because they were also human. But that if anyone comes to a conclusion based on having been taught by the Spirit of truth, that the doctrine developed would not be inaccurate. This...

Col 1:4, Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, Col 1:5, For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Col 1:6, Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and...

It is "that simple"... 2Co 11:3, But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

It as not intended to "ensnare". But the fact that you think that it was makes me think that you may have something to hide. So, you believe that you keep all of God's commandments perfectly?

It is based completely on your being cleansed from your spiritual leprosy; and of course this happens through the blood of Jesus Christ, according to what the Lord did for us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. See Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7.

Does the Lord Jesus Christ not cast sinners into an eternal hell? God is God; and when He does something, He is justified in His action; even though a human being doing the same thing might not be justified. Because the Lord is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. And His Omniscience...

edited post #345 (The Ten Commandments—What happened?).

The Great White Throne judgment seat will merely show forth to the people who were in hell and will be cast into the lake of fire the reasons why that became their fate. But God knows that fate from eternity past. Therefore they can begin to experience that fate from the moment they pass on...

We never know until we are faced with the trial how we will react when we are in the midst of it.

I think that Jesus claimed to be the voice in the burning bush (Exodus 3:14) in John 8:58. He broke normal grammatical usage to make a claim. Now, whoever owned that voice, "became Jesus Christ" later. Actually, He was Jesus Christ all along; but He incarnated as the Son in Luke 1:35, Matthew...

Please elaborate. Does the Saviour make you perfectly obedient to the commandments of God from conception into eternity?

John Calvin, I have my disagreements with, Martin Luther, I do not like parts of his testimony and teaching, the other two I never heard of. God knows whether they had the Spirit of truth.

I don't think that this was ever answered: post #91 (John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again")

7 is the number of perfection. 8 is the number of new beginnings. I don't have the information handy. But I do accept it as coming from a valid source (a certain kjv-only website).

The kjv is better than the RSV. If what you say is true, then the RSV is #8.

2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Act 17:10, And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. Act 17:11, These were...

The Spirit of truth. I suggest you receive Him; for in doing so I believe that you will begin to believe in sola scriptura and will hold the Bible to be the ultimate authority on any given subject. For He is the Spirit of "truth" and in receiving Him you will be taught by Him to believe the...

Also, the admonition at the end of the book of Revelation applies to the whole of the book that Revelation is at the end of; the Holy Bible. This is how things developed over time and how we have a closed canon of holy scripture.
