Replacement theology is a misnomer. The church never replaced Israel, it is a continuation o of Israel through the true Israel, Christ.

Mmmm. Yes, we are to follow His example. Did He love Judas? I believe yes. Do I love devils? No. Should I? I don't think so. I have no inclination nor motivation nor conviction to do so.

Jesus called Judas a devil. I have serious doubts if we are called to love devils.

Sorry about the repetitive essay.

Let me see if I can state the situation more clearly. The gospel is a process of salvation., beginning at the cross. The cross opens the way of communication and grants man legal status before God. We are then justified. But justification gives us legal rights, not fitness rights. We need to...

That's why James was able to testify, without works faith is dead. Read the parables of Jesus. Several reveal the truth that works are essential, and we are judged by them. Our eternal destiny depends on them.

I didn't say that. I said we will be judged by our works. Our eternal destiny depends on our works. I didn't say works save us. They don't. But they testify in truth that the faith we claim to have in the blood of Christ and His sacrifice, is real. If our faith is fake, lukewarm...

“1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw...

Don't disagree with you. Nothing saves except the blood of the Lamb.

is pure conjecture.

I think "trying not to" is a mistake. It's doomed to failure. We cannot become righteous by trying. Righteousness is a gift. It comes by faith. If we sin, we confess our sins and God cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness. Righteousness comes from God. It's actually Christ's righteousness...

Just to follow on a little from your historical view of the Celtic origins of the Galatians, there were other Celtic communities in southern Europe, particularly northern Italy and southern France. These were left behind as others continued further east. But together they formed a trade bloc...

Of course they are required. We are judged by them. You don't have them, you fail the test, regardless how much you may believe.

Just came across this, never noticed it before in thinking about the pre- incarnate Son of God. I'm certain others have however, anyway, I think John the Baptist is of pretty good authority in speaking of the one he came to introduce to the world... “31 He that cometh from above is above all...

A new convert doesn't receive everything at once in case he is overwhelmed or feels he is under compulsion. God does nothing without first getting our approval. He doesn't grant us personally His grace and forgiveness unless we ask. Yes, on Calvary Jesus took all our sins upon Himself. He...

Receiving Jesus means accepting everything He is, and everything He offers. The Way the Truth, and the Life, and the abundant life He came to give. The above however only comes to us as we are willing to give Him everything we are, and the stink, wretched, barren life that was ours. It's a...

I think many are forgetting the context of Jesus's words. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's..." We do not have to submit to civil government in areas where it doesn't belong. What's at issue in these last days in context of prophecy is freedom of conscience. Religious liberty...

But to give him his due, he did take it down when informed of the nuanced interpretations taken by his enemies. I do agree with you, it isn't a good look. But I would rather give him the benefit of the doubt than claim he is impersonating Jesus.

The civil power has authority over matters that are within its realm of jurisprudence. Civil power has civil authority. I'm happy to surrender our submit myself to civil authority. Civil power however does not have and never has had spiritual authority. I will never, and nor should you...
