Jesus was still working...and the letter of the law tells us that you shall not do *any* work on the sabbath day. Jesus came not after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life (Hebrews 7:16). He was High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec...and with a change in...

If Jesus did not break the sabbath in that He claimed to work as the Father was working when it was the sabbath, at the very least He broke it in that He commanded the lame man to take up his bed and walk; and therefore by proxy and by His teaching, He was teaching men to violate the sabbath.

@quietthinker, Here is the whole story for your perusal: Jhn 5:1, After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Jhn 5:2, Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. Jhn 5:3, In these lay a...

Even those who are sticklers for the law don't keep it....Galatians 6:13.

I got my position from reading the texts. I did not come to my conclusions through eisegesis. Consider: Exo 20:10, But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy...

Gal 3:23, But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. This "we" is speaking of all of us who have been redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ. Before faith came, we were kept under the law. This "we" is referring to Jew and...

Actually, that part makes sense; because he is speaking of the fact that where there is no law there is no transgression (Romans 4:15) and therefore no sin (see 1 John 3:4). Therefore, since saints are not under the law, the law does not apply to them and therefore it is to them as if there is...

No, our new nature is salvation. The concept that we are saved by our new nature implies that we are saved by works. In that we do works because of our new nature and that this is what saves us; because we are saved by our new nature in that our new nature produces salvational works. But the...

Most certainly, the law has been given as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20, Psalms 19:7 (kjv)).

It certainly can't hurt to receive baptism in Jesus' Name. Peter said, "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost even as we?" (Acts of the Apostles 10:47).

It's 8:30 pm where I'm located. But, good day to you also.

I don't like the label of "theologian"... It makes me think of someone who studies God but does not have a real relationship with Him.

He obeyed the spirit of the law...He violated the letter (John 5:18). Jesus came as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec...and with a change in priesthood came also a change in law (Hebrews 7:12) from letter to spirit (Romans 7:6).

In Romans 4:5 it is written that the Lord declares the ungodly person to be righteous. This means that you have the identity of being righteous even when you blow it. Now that you have this identity...go and live like it (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6). There is another side to the...

Apparently, that is what @Behold believes that I am; while he is also in denial of the fact, so that he has to accuse me of trying to appear as such as though it were not the case.

Those who are in Christ are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6). We are no longer married to the law; but to Christ. You seem here to be promoting the concept that Jesus did not die to bring forgiveness...

It is secured by faith (Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 Peter 1:5).

We are not saved by our new nature. Receiving the new nature is salvation.

I can see your point in that you qualified your statement by this. If anyone is born again by faith in Jesus Christ, they are a new creature in Christ; and it is not in their disposition to be disobedient to the Lord.

Not quite... Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Rom 3:21, But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Rom 3:22, Even the...
