    David, who looked by faith forward to Calvary, prayed, "CAST ME NOT AWAY from Thy presence and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me." What makes you think that circumstances are different for we who look back in faith to Calvary?

    "Not one jot or tittle shall in any wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled." "My covenant will I not break nor ALTER the thing that is gone from My lips." Psalms 89:34 KJV (BTW, that's talking about the Ten Commandment covenant that God spoke at Sinai)

    They did? Is it now OK to kill, steal, lie, worship Satan, or sleep with your wife?

    Bro, the idea that "grace trumps the law" is FALSE because what you are saying is that Jesus died to give us a license to break the law, yet He will tell those who think they are saved but refuse to obey to "depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."

    "Hereby we do know that we know Him IF we keep His COMMANDMENTS. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His COMMANDMENTS is a liar and the TRUTH is not in him." Isn't it amazing how both the OT and NT connects the "Truth" with "keeping the commandments"??? Yes, both the OT and NT are one...

    I find it interesting that Jesus was able to teach everything necessary for salvation from the OT, but somehow that's no longer good enough today. BTW, Jesus is the God of the OT, so are you saying that what He told the NT writers to preach contradicts what He told the OT writers?

    Please read ALL the Bible, not just the parts that appeal to you: "Thy LAW is truth" Psalms 119:142 KJV "All Thy COMMANDMENTS are truth." Psalms 119:151 KJV Anyone who breaks the commandments doesn't have one bit of truth living in them.

    Who's changing definitions? A parable must be interpreted to get the truth that it is intended to teach. Not interpreting the Rich Man and Lazarus in order to teach Eternal Torment is error. Correctly interpreting the parable of the Unmerciful Servant to soundly teach truth that soundly...

    Daniel lived in a totally pagan Medo Persia, but chose to be mauled to death by hungry lions rather than disobey the commandments. Sin is always a choice, ATP, choose ye this day. BTW, that talk about "..you have a sin nature" is garbage. You like the word "believe" a lot, so why don't you...

    No, you are refusing to interpret the parable for what it is: a message to those who are forgiven that if they refuse to manifest the beneficent character of the Lord in their own lives through the indwelling power of Christ, they will be cast away and eternally lost. Submit to Christ's...

    Wrong, the false doctrine of Eternal Torment is based on the UNINTERPRETED parable of Luke 16. I am refuting OSAS on the basis of a correctly INTERPRETED parable of Matthew 18:23-35 KJV, which is completely acceptable hermeneutics. Here's the interpretation: The King - The Lord God The...

    If you choose to sin, you believe nothing, for if you really believed you are a new creature in Christ Jesus, you would believe you have the power to resist sin.

    Well, I'm sure the Unmerciful Servant had "belief" that he was forgiven and "new life" in the forgiveness of his lord - but he despised that freedom - which was provided to him at such an immense cost to his lord - and chose to cast it far away from himself through indulging selfishness and sin...

    What about the parable of the Unmerciful Servant who was forgiven of his impossible debt (allegorical "sin debt" we all owe) and yet through continued sin, that forgiveness was withdrawn and he again fell under the original condemnation for which he was originally forgiven? THAT"S in Scripture.

    I publicly declare that Christians are obligated to keep the Ten Commandments. I issue a challenge to anyone - including Zeke - claiming that Christians are not obligated to keep the Ten Commandments to publicly declare in the face of God and before men that the Christian is at liberty to break...

    ATP, I think your misunderstanding of the word "believe" has led you to OSAS. A man may "believe" his house in on fire, but if his belief is just merely a mental assent - and does not compel him to action - he will burn up with it. In the same way, if we believe by faith that Jesus died and...

    What a testimony! Isn't the "blessed hope" which includes being reunited with those who have fallen asleep in Christ the sweetest hope of all? The Sabbath rest is a weekly reminder that God created the world in six days and rested the seventh, that He can re-create new hearts within us with the...

    Brother Zeke, just as an 11th hour governor's pardon doesn't give a condemned man the right to go out and continue breaking the law, Christ did not die to give you the freedom to continue doing what made necessary His ignominious death on the Cross in the first place.

    Zeke, if you really believe that Christians are not obligated to keep the Ten Commandments, then please publicly declare that we may freely break the other nine commandments as freely as you claim we may forget the only commandment which begins with the word "Remember".
