Zeke, "sin" which is defined Biblically as "transgression of the law" was an option even before Cain killed his brother (Genesis 4:7 KJV) and murder and adultery were violations of a law that existed prior to Mount Sinai and will exist for all eternity. What other reason can there be for your...

Christianity is about God's promise to "write My laws in their minds and on their hearts", which laws are the ones He wrote with His own finger in stone. The idea of a law with no penalties for its violation is absurd, for what's the point? Jesus didn't die to give us a license to keep on doing...

Zeke, the reason you will not tell us we may freely break the Ten Commandments is that you know they existed before Sinai and will exist for all eternity, while the Law of Moses' municipal, judicial, and ceremonial provisions were nailed to the cross. It is you who must repent of your war...

This thread is entitled, "A Question about the Restrainer", not "Who Do You Think Is The Restrainer?". Please answer the question, seeing that in 76 posts, no one has bothered to offer one. This thread is entitled, "A Question About The Restrainer", not "Who Do You Think Is The Restrainer?"...

Zeke, if you really believe that Christians are not obligated to keep the Ten Commandments because "Jesus has set you free from the law", then here's your opportunity to man up and say so: Tell us you may freely worship other gods before God. Tell us you may freely engage in idolatry. Tell us...

Thanks but there are other threads where the identity of the Restrainer is the focus. The point of this thread is to analyze the question of why Paul did not immortalize the identity of the Restrainer in his letter for all Christians until Jesus' return if indeed it is the Holy Spirit, Michael...

Zeke, I don't believe it is heretical at all to say that God's chosen people are they who are in Christ because it says so in Scripture. The only way to partake of the New Covenant is to become a Spiritual Israelite because the New Covenant is only "with the house of Israel and with the house...

Just thought I'd point out what the "earliest" known teaching for the identity of the Restrainer, is all.

Brother Axehead, when you get right down to it, everyone here agrees that we are free from the municipal, judicial, and ceremonial Laws of Moses but there isn't a one of us here who would dare claim that we may freely disregard God's Ten Commandments which He wrote with His own finger in stone...

One of the greatest tragedies of Scripture is that of the Antediluvians. They all drowned in the Flood and their next conscious thought will be when they awaken to judgment in the Second Resurrection and then be cast into a Lake of Fire and burned up.

One thing is for sure, the crowd has never been right. In Eden, Adam chose the philosophy shared by his wife and the serpent. In Noah's day, the crowd drowned. In Lot's day, the crowd burned up with fire and brimstone. In Elijah's day, the crowd worshiped Baal. In Jesus' day, the crowd...

You should know that the "earliest" teaching on the subject of the Restrainer by those who were "closest to the apostles and their intermediate disciples" - the Early Church Fathers - is their remarkably unanimous testimony that Paul meant the identity of the Restrainer to be none other than the...

Necessary changes to Scripture in order to establish Eternal Torment: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life,” (John 3:36 KJV) must be changed to: "...he that believeth not on the Son was born with everlasting life and will...

I've heard countless stories of former atheists who could not understand how a God could exist that would eternally torment those He supposedly loved and died for, but after being shown the doctrine of Annihilation from the Bible they finally gave up their rebellion to Him.

Weymouth weighs in: "My mind fails to conceive a grosser misinterpretation of language then when the five or six strongest words which the Greek tongue possesses, signifying 'destroy,' or 'destruction,' are explained to mean maintaining an everlasting but wretched existence. To translate black...

In order to win those "under the law" to salvation in Christ alone, Paul observed that which was "nailed to the Cross" like Passover which those "under the law" observed in order to try and obtain salvation - the legalism of his day that you accuse modern day Christians of practicing who keep...

I have to admit that when I read your argument - that Jesus' other parables were based in real experience and so that demands that the Rich Man and Lazarus be a real experience - I found it very compelling because somewhere it is written "Consistency, thou art a jewel." *After further review*...

Paul said that "after my departing (death) grievous wolves would come in" and savage the flock, and John said that the church needed to "keep yourselves from idols", so it is clear that both men expected the apostasy to take place in the distant past not too far removed from their time, not...

You have been warned.

Axehead, the word "racist" used to correctly mean "one who thinks his race is superior to all others" but now it means "a white person who is critical of a member of a minority race". This is due to a few dishonest persons improperly defining the word and then throwing it around so much that the...
