Hi @Gray_Joy

@Behold, Sorry, I didn't see your reply post. I have been in bed with he flu most of the day. I agree that salvation is by grace through faith, believers are not justified by the works of the Mosaic Law, Christ fully accomplished redemption. and no believer keeps themselves saved through...

"Every Christian is a missionary or an imposter. Oswald J. Smith.

@Behold, I agree with you that believers are not justified by the Law and that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone. Scripture is very clear on that. Romans 6:14 says: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.” And yes, believers are...

@LoveYeshua, There is much in this post that is true. Scripture absolutely teaches that grace is not permission to continue in sin. Believers are called to repentance, holiness, and obedience to Christ. Romans 6:1–2 says: “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.” Titus...

While the arguments have been thoughtfully presented, the conversation has now reached a stage where the core points have been clearly stated and are beginning to repeat in different forms rather...

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. I appreciate the tone and effort many have made to keep this focused on Scripture, even in disagreement At this point the conversation has reached a stage where the key positions have been clearly and repeatedly articulated, and...

@David in NJ, thank you for the thoughtful and gracious response. I agree completely that there is one body in Christ, one Spirit, one Lord, and one salvation for both Jew and Gentile. I also agree that Scripture must ultimately be read as one unified revelation centered in Christ. Where I...

@Brakelite. That is a fair observation, and I agree the New Testament records significant controversy surrounding circumcision, food laws, and Gentile inclusion. I also agree that we do not see an explicit Pharisaical controversy framed specifically as "Paul is teaching believers to stop...

@David in NJ , no I do not believe there are two different gospels, two different Gods, or two different standards of salvation for Jews and Gentiles. Salvation is through Christ alone for both Jew and Gentile alike. My point is that the New Testament itself repeatedly addresses the question of...

I agree that holy things should never be treated carelessly or profanely. Scripture gives many sobering examples of that. At the same time, I do not believe the existence of something holy automatically settles the separate question of covenant application under the New Testament. For example...

I understand your point about continuity, and I agree that something established by God should not be dismissed lightly. At the same time, the New Testament shows that covenant continuity is not always identical covenant administration. For example, circumcision existed for centuries as a...
