    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    I agree. But the law still stands. The Spirit of Christ helps us to obey it.

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    God gave several laws to Israel through Moses. Civil laws. Health laws. Sanctuary laws. But only one law was placed inside the ark, under the mercy seat, a metaphor for God's throne. God's own moral law, the standard of morality for all creation. Those other laws were added because the...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Hey bro, hold up a second. We are talking about some serious stuff here, don't you go just quoting scripture that seems to suit your argument. No way ought you to do that. You quoted Hebrews 8:7, then jumped to verse 13! As if you can formulate a doctrine based on two verses missing so much...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Can't be done. God imposes His will on no-one. Forsaking sin is a choice. Repentance is a choice. Worshipping the true God in Spirit and Truth is a choice. Receiving the gift of salvation, and being sanctified by the truth of the gospel and God's word, is a choice. The eternal future...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    So where is the justice in any continuing punishment that doesn't end? A continuing punishing means that justice is never actually met. However, if we were to actually believe what the Bible says, that the wages of sin is death, real death where the sinner actually ceases all life, then true...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    You should read this: it explains clearly where your theology is leading, and had had to come to in order to justify certain modern neo-pagan lifestyles... https://www.fulcrum7.com/blog/2026/5/11/the-step-in-the-moral-revolution-is-polyamory

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Every government, whether it be democratic or autocratic, has laws. Even a remote village in the middle of an unknown jungle devoid of all outside contact, will over time develop a set of laws by which the people are governed. Them there are the laws of physics that govern the way we build...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Interesting analogy. I agree with it as far as the earth itself is concerned. It will be cleansed, for God is a consuming fire, and He will consume all sin and all who refuse to part with it. The earth itself will be recreated. And the saved, the redeemed, , will eventually inherit a clean...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Okay, so sarcasm? Then I agree with you, and yes it is true that retribution and vengeance is a popular, even predominant view perhaps, a perspective of the ultimate purpose of God's dealings with mankind... hence ECT. But I do still disagree with you on ultimate universal redemption, and I...

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Religious liberty is a God given right and God has appointed the government to protect it. That isn't denominationalusm. Ask the Baptists. I see. So Christians can ignore the bill of rights?

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    SteVen Retribution? My friend, that one single thought sums up why you have so many questions and challenges regarding who God is. Your statement thinking God's judgement is a form of retribution or revenge reveals a very stark and obvious ignorance regarding the character of God. You need...

    Paul's Gospel

    Sin keeps you out of heaven if it isn't forsaken.

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Uh oh, have I unwittingly encouraged the next half dozen Amigo essays?

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Imagine the Son of God appearing before the Sanhedrin awaiting the judgment of His own. Wounded in the house of My friends. No, it's eschatological reality being played out under your nose and you refuse to see where it will lead, because your denominational prejudice blinds you.

    Paul's Gospel

    Never claimed otherwise. Yep. Indeed. Just what I said. Absolutely. So. What were we arguing about?

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    How does a republican government protect minorities as stated in the declaration of Independance, but at the same time be a church/ state union which legislates Christian worship? Remember, the constitution was written by the same people who wrote the DoI. Babylon the Great and her apostate...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    I think Isaiah said it best... “13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words...

    Coming to a City or Town Near You....

    Yes. The so called health industry is not there to heal anyone, but to maintain and manage your illness in such a manner so you continue to contribute to their bank balances. I agree with you. Most of today's chronic illnesses are a direct result of poor diet. Obesity, heart disease, blood...

    Coming to a City or Town Near You....

    “14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter...
