This One Who said, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." Obedience will be non-negotiable in the kingdom, yet you claim that it is optional down here? Surely, not Jesus, but the god of this world is responsible for that philosophy.

It is thought that Christians are not obligated to keep the Ten Commandments as long as they keep the Two Great Commandments and that NT versus which enjoin commandment keeping to Christians only refer to the Two Great Commandments. If that is true, then in 1 John 5:2-3 KJV we should be able to...

We are not talking about obtaining salvation, which I fully agree with you is by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8 KJV). We are talking about the behavior that God demands without exception from us which Paul speaks of in the following verse (Ephesians 2:10 KJV) A "straw man...

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom...

You believe that God's grace doesn't change the sinner, just God's opinion of the sinner. That is not Biblical. God's grace is more than pardon for sin, it is power to stop sinning and those who choose to continue in sin and refuse the Holy Spirit's pleading and power to overcome it will not...

In order to "prove" that NT believers are not obligated to keep the weekly seventh day Sabbath (though all of us will keep it every week for all eternity in the Kingdom), it is argued that the Two Great Commandments to love God and thy neighbor - aka "the law of Christ" - are the only laws that...

BTW, I'm still waiting for you to cease from your cowardice and boldly publicly declare that we may freely break the same Ten Commandments that you claim we don't have to obey.

Zeke, Jesus Christ alone sits upon the Judgment Seat to judge us. By your "lost souls" remark, you have taken the place of Christ and seated yourself down in His Judgment Seat. Ye know not what spirit ye are of because the spirit of Antichrist (Antichrist - "takes the place of Christ") leads men...

I'm not saying that we should interpret the word "carnal" in Hebrews 7: 16 KJV as "not holy, just, and good"- but we can't ignore that the verse refers to a "carnal commandment", and not "carnal people". A degree of separation from Paul's (contextual) description of the Ten Commandments as...

You should really ask yourself why you regard God's Ten Commandments "burdensome" when 1 John 5:3 says that they "are not burdensome".

Obedience is the evidence that we have been saved by grace through faith, according to the well memorized Ephesians 2:8 KJV - and - the much lesser known and seemingly despised immediately following two verses: "For by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves. It is...

"And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws." Daniel 7:25 KJV "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of...

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and he surrendered to the Lord's command to built an Ark by faith, having never seen rain. Hebrews 12 is all about how Noah and others evidenced their faith which saved them - the evidence being "active participation", "effort", and "intent".

"Distinction" is a synonym for "Separation", so we can't say that the Ten Commandments are distinct from the Mosaic law while claiming that there is no separation, which you claim. I never said that you have made a distinction between His character and the Ten Commandments. I think you may be...

Actually, you explained it rather well. I can honestly say that in all my years I've never heard of an HTML quote tag or the procedure for how to delimit it. Nevertheless, I think I got the hang of it. Thanks!

Thanks, I will experiment.

I would love to respond to your questions but you'll have to show me how. Within a reply, you have multiple darker boxes with the word "Quote" at the top of the box and then a portion of something I've said, and then below the box in white is your response. Seems that however you are doing it...

Go back and read you very own words in post # 506 where you deny the Biblical distinction between the Ten Commandments and the Mosaic Law of ceremonies and sacrifices. Then offer me an apology and I'll accept it.

"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." "He that keepeth the law, happy is he."

Upp, the Spirit of Christ has commissioned you and the rest of us to do something very important. He wants you to stop sinning. Need a "thus sayeth the Lord'? Jesus said to the woman (and us) "Go and sin no more". And to the lame man (and us), He said, "Sin no more, lest something worse come...
