Dear Robert Pate, Here is the point I was leading to in my first post: Faith is a gift from God and because it is, Christ is not dependent upon mankind doing anything for their salvation. Christ alone does all the work for our salvation. Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through...

Dear Robert Pate, I agree with much of what you said below but I also see a serious contradiction within your statement. You said this in your original post: No one can understand and believe the Gospel without the Holy Spirit. This can cause a problem on Christian Forums. The reason is that...

Dear Marks, You should consider these verses that teach about corruption: Christ saw no corruption: Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Acts 13:3 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. But mankind does...

Dear bro.tan, I have read it and that is enough. If you can't except any of the other scriptures I have posted here, you won't accept Hebrews chapter 10 either. You are fitting everything into your box of works and would do the same with chapter 10, too. I am trying to help others members on...

Dear bro.tan, Christ keeps the law through me. The Sabbath Day is kept by entering Christ's rest. The keeping of the physical Sabbath Day is void for converted believers because Christ is doing the work of their salvation. They are at rest and because they are, they keep the Sabbath Day 24/7...

Dear Marks, And just as the translators added "offering/sacrifices" in Heb 10:6 & 8, they should have added it to 2Cor 5:21 (just as the NLT and CNT do). Also, there is no second witness for Christ being made sin. Plus, being made sin is not even possible since sin is defined as "missing the...

Dear Marks, Of course, if Christ only says something once, it is true. But the law requires two or three witnesses to prove anything to be true. Because that is the legal requirement, Christ provides more than just one witness so that we are legally without an excuse for not believing Him. Joe

Dear Marks, So you believe that the same Christ who said this: Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; is the same Christ who told the Apostles to carry a sword in...

Dear Marks, You need to check Heb 10:6 again. The Greek word "peri" (G4012) is a preposition meaning "for". The Greek word "thysia" (G2378) means "sacrifices" and is not in the text. The word "sacrifices" was added to the verse just as I have stated. This is how the actual text reads: Heb...

Dear Marks, The sacrificial ordinances were blotted out because Christ become the final sacrifice. The remainder of the Law is written in our hearts and is fulfilled by loving God and our neighbor. Under that law, two or three witnesses are required. Paul re-enforced this requirement in the...

Dear Logikas, You said: There is no need for any second "scriptural witness". The text of GOD'S word is clear as it can be! God's Word is written so that only those who have been given "eyes that can see" will understand it. Paul says that he teaches in a "mystery" (1Cor 2:7) and that he...

Dear Logikos: There is no second witness to Christ being made "sin". That alone proves that Christ was not made sin, because for any truth to be proven, there must be at least "two or three witnesses" according to the Law. Christ re-enforced this requirement in Luke 22:38: Luke 22:38 And they...

Dear Grace ambassador, The NT was written in Greek. The translations from the Greek contain errors. The KJV has had over 1,000 corrections since it was first printed. The errors are not God's Word. The KJV still contains many errors, most of which were caused by translator bias. The improper...

Dear Grace ambassador, Christ was not made sin for us. 2Cor 5:21 is commonly mistranslated. It should read that Christ was made a sin offering for us: 2Cor 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (NLT)...

Dear DLT, I believe that Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was the tremendous amount of physical suffering that he had to endure for the sake of spreading the Gospel. 2Cor 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in...

Dear MatthewG, Scripture says that Christ came to fulfill the Law and not just some of it. He satisfied the blood sacrifice requirements of the Law at the cross. He is now working individually from "within" mankind to fulfill the remainder of the Law. After His work is complete, all who died...

Dear bro.tan, You are not hearing the words of Christ. It is Christ within us who keeps the commandments because He is the one who causes us to "will and do of His good pleasure". By mixing in your own works with faith under the New Covenant, you are practicing religion which is the crooked...

Dear bro.tan, I have thoroughly read all of Hebrews chapter 10 and it is teaching on the difference between the Old Covenant of Law vs. the New Covenant of Grace through faith. The Old Covenant is founded upon man's works and the New Covenant is founded upon the works of Christ. The...

Dear Hobie, In your understanding of Matthew chapter 24, you are forgetting that Christ's words are 'spirit". To understand spirit words, we are to compare spiritual words and with spiritual words. After their true meaning is discerned, the message should be applied spiritually (within) a...

Dear bro.tan, I just wanted to make some comments about this statement of yours: To repent means to turn from our sinful ways and start obeying God's law. The water baptism signifies the washing away of our past sins. After repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus it would be foolish...
