    Grace vs Legalism

    In Romans 3:23, the Greek for "come short" is in the present passive indicative; and this speaks volumes to me; and takes me over the edge to convert me to the idea that even those who are sanctified wholly have sin and are not yet perfected.

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    And you need to realize that the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament are one and the same God. So, the word that He has spoken is also the law of the Old Testament. It will truly judge you on the last day; of that you can be certain.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    How did I lie this time? State the lie and the nature of the lie.

    Jesus is God in the Flesh!!

    I believe that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of truth; and that He is with us at all times (even with those who do not have Him indwelling them). So, if we have a commitment to taking the scriptures literally, except in cases where the language is clearly allegorical, or defined to be a parable...

    Grace vs Legalism

    It means a lot to me. It is through Acts 22:16 that I have absolute assurance of salvation. But if you look at Mark 16:16 more carefully, I believe that you will find that a man is not condemned for not being baptized...only for not having faith. There is absolute assurance for the one who...

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    See Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Galatians 5:14, Hebrews 13:8-10.

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    You're not catching what I'm saying. Your pov translates into Gentiles being saved simply because they are Gentiles. It is only the church that is not under the law. Both Gentiles and Jews are condemned by the law if they are not in Christ. They are found guilty before God because the...

    Grace vs Legalism

    There is no contradiction between the literal interpretation of 1 John 1:8 and the literal interpretation of 1 John 3:5-9. That we have indwelling sin in no way precludes that we have to walk according to it, Romans 6:14. It can be rendered dead, Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8; so that...

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    We have been through this before; so I say this more on behalf of the ones whom you might be deceiving with your statements as it seems that no amount of pointing out the truth will be able to reach you. Clearly, in Galatians 3:23, those who have been born again were previously kept under the...

    Passover vs Eucharist

    The Bible is a big book. If an SDA, a Baptist, and a Presbyterian come together in the name of Jesus; and are worshiping Him, they are the church; they are unified in the singular doctrine of what saves a man....found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and in John 3:16. What unifies the body of Christ...

    Grace vs Legalism

    Are you saying that once you come to Jesus, if you sin again after that, you're out of luck? That's not the God I know and love and serve...

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    I don't think that that is what he was saying at all. For he mentioned that the law is given to show a man that he is a sinner in need of a Saviour. That kind of thing leads a man to grace.

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    There was a high sabbath involved which adds another day to the equation.

    Grace vs Legalism

    It seems to me that the sin that I commit five minutes from now, will be in the past five minutes and 1 second from now.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    Another lying accusation. Absolute truth means everything to me....that is why I preach the word of the Lord.

    I brought those things up not to mask anything... But I was merely responding to the statement below...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    However, the Lord told me to turn the other cheek. So, I repent.

    Grace vs Legalism

    A person can call on the name of the Lord simply by praying something like this: Dear Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I call upon Your Name for salvation. I recognize that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour; and I ask You to save me, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and forgive me of and also wash...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    That is an incredible lie, yet again (you should not have used the word never. Using that word makes your statement a lie. And you even put it in bold....which makes it a bold-faced lie.) You accused me of lying in another thread (and there was no "butting in" done by me in that thread); and...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    I pray that the Lord will give you a taste of your own medicine... I simply had an answer for the question that was biblical... And you, like always, went on the offensive to make your point. One of these days that is going to reach up and smack you in the face.
