Amazing how Origen can speak so highly of Jesus here but then spit on Him in his denial of the absolute necessity of His substitutionary death on the Cross. But, the fact that he is praised in the Masonic writings leaves no doubt as to where his true allegiance rested. To the contrary, we are to...

Where in all of Romans 11 do we find some plan that "God is going to miraculously remove Israel's blindness so that they as a nation can fulfill their prophetic destiny"? First of all, it plainly says that "through jealousy" those who rejected and murdered Christ and suffered blindness would...

Thanks for joining us. “The man who speaks first seems right until another answers him”, so I'd like to answer Mr. Robertson. “For the first time here we have services mentioned on the first day of the week...” There are no “services” mentioned here, but one post-Sabbath “get together” (the...

You should know that some new Bible versions translate Acts 20:7, "On the SATURDAY NIGHT, the disciples came together..." This is due to the fact that most scholars know that a Bible day begins and ends with sunset, so what we read in Acts 20:7 KJV is that the seventh day Sabbath sun was...

In the search for proof of God, philosophy cannot help us, nor can the sciences, though the continuing explosion of discovery in information, design, and order found in living organisms and the universe in general is compelling enough to convince the most stubborn skeptic if he is willing to be...

I think your theology is a little off. David said "against Thee, Thee ONLY have I sinned" in Psalm 51. That is because sin is breaking God's law, not Bathsheeba's law or Uriah's law. So, do you acknowledge that "thou shalt not commit adultery" was part of the law that existed before Sinai?

Well, I'm encouraged that you at least acknowledge that a law existed before Sinai. But, how can you say "thou shalt not commit adultery" did not exist in the time of Joseph, when he himself tells Mrs. Potiphar that what she wanted him to do was "great wickedness" and "sin against God" ("sin"...

I agree, you can't nail stone to anything, so whatever was nailed to the Cross was NOT written in stone. Of course the Scripture says the Ten Commandments existed before Sinai, and here are just five examples: Adultery - "How can I commit this great wickedness and sin against God?" Blasphemy -...

I apologize in advance for such a lengthy response. Christ is not the cessation of the law, He is the purpose of the law, as I have shown in my previous post, so let's not distort Scripture, OK? No one is arguing we are justified by obedience, but that the absence of obedience reveals a...

Seems there is still no one willing to address the elephant in the room. It appears the only possible reason for Paul to not mention the identity of the Restrainer was exactly what every ECF said was the reason.

If Romans 10:4 KJV means that the Law has ceased to be, then James 5:11 KJV ("Ye have heard of the patience of Job and seen the end of the Lord") means the Lord has ceased to be, right? "End" doesn't mean "ceased to be", it means "purpose". The purpose of the law is to point us to Christ. The...

Zeke, it is not the man that is a doer and teacher of the commandments which is called "least" in the kingdom, but the man which breaks whatever he deems the least (Sabbath) and teaches others to do so which is called "least" in the kingdom. Likewise, Jesus will not say to those who keep the...

According to your reasoning, James puts us under the law by telling us we are transgressors of the law if we kill or commit adultery. He also is wrong by suggesting the "whole law" of Jesus is not limited to "love God and neighbor", but also includes "don't kill or cheat". It's really humorous...

Absolutely. The Rich Man represents the Jewish people led by the priesthood who daily ate sumptuously at the table of God filled with the blessings, covenants, promises, and lively oracles while Lazarus represents the outsider Gentile "dogs" desiring the falling crumbs like the woman who begged...

So, have you ever heard loving thy neighbor as thyself and sleeping with his wife, killing him, coveting his stuff, or dishonoring ones parents? Though millions of devout, courageous Christian men, women and children were willing to suffer the death penalty by publicly denying that the wafer of...

If you stick to the blueprint of life, then all other verses are easily understood: "God formed man of the dust of the ground (Body), and breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life (Spirit), and man (Hb. "Dust of the ground") became a Living Soul." Genesis 2:7 KJV "And so the dust shall...

None of us can speak for Paul, but surely there must be SOME reason why Paul would uncharacteristically withhold from the church great tidings of a mighty Agent of Holiness Restrainer. Is there not anyone who will offer up a more convincing reason than that of the ECF, who say Paul identified...

There's nothing more comical than for a Christian to call himself an "overcomer of sin" and "more than a conqueror of sin" and a "victor over sin" while continuing in the same old slavish servitude to his former, current, and future master, SIN, while claiming to be a servant of the Most High...

Speaking of points not being addressed, the point of this thread is the question of why Paul kept silent about the identity of the Restrainer. What reason could there be for Paul to so uncharacteristcally withhold from us glorious tidings of an "Agent of holiness" Restrainer? Any thoughts?

Who is Israel? (Galatians 3:29 KJV) God's will is that "all be saved and all come to a knowledge of the truth". The "spirit of blindness" that God sent to Israel is the same consequence for failing to love the truth that Paul speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 KJV. The only hope any literal...
