    God's Grace keeps on giving the Blood

    Today if you will hear His voice, do not harden your heart as in the rebellion. That is in the OT and the NT, btw. I suggest that you read the verses that I referenced (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:19-20), as they are NT verses.

    Sufficency of Scripture

    I will not talk with you via PM. If you want to hash it out, it is going to be publicly.

    Sufficency of Scripture

    It is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6); and the Bible testifies of Him. While Jesus is physically away from us, our means of having a relationship with Him is through reading His love letter to us, wouldn't you say? I'm still waiting for you to post your testimony.

    How the Law harms you.

    I believe that he understands it quite well. But I will let him answer for himself.

    CALLED

    It is the NEW COVENANT. The word "covenant" is most often synonymous with the word "testament" So then, the NEW COVENANT is in fact THE NEW TESTAMENT. I would say that the New Testament is for Gentiles, wouldn't you? Compare Romans 3:21 to Galatians 5:22-23, I think you might get a...

    The wrong Cross

    I find that, most often, people who are accused of being mentally ill today over their doctrine are being persecuted for righteousness' sake. Therefore they are on the right track. @Behold, while I don't agree with his every word, does have a lot of good things to say. You should listen to...

    Sufficency of Scripture

    1 Nephi 22 30 Wherefore, my brethren, I would that ye should consider that the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are true; and they testify that a man must be obedient to the commandments of God. 31 Wherefore, ye need not suppose that I and my father are the only ones...

    Sufficency of Scripture

    No; because you must have the right Jesus, the right gospel, and the right spirit in order to be saved (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). And we have not been over this THOROUGHLY.

    John 3:16

    The word should is an iffy word. I prefer the absolute assurance provided in a word like shall. Such as in Mark 16:16, Romans 10:13, Luke 11:13, and Acts of the Apostles Acts 2:38. So then, eternal security is not found in the word should, while it is found in the word shall. Therefore I...

    God's Grace keeps on giving the Blood

    The law is a schoolmaster to lead even Gentiles to Christ (Galatians 3:24)...it shows the whole world that they are guilty before God (Romans 3:19-20)...the whole world includes both Jew and Gentile. Also, when Paul says that "we were kept under the law before faith came" (Galatians 3:23) the...

    Sufficency of Scripture

    The last two verses of 1 Nephi teach that the entire Book of Mormon is all about keeping the commandments being necessary for salvation; something that is directly contradicted by Paul in the entire epistle to the Galatians. Since Mormonism is a different gospel than what Paul taught in the...

    The wrong Cross

    Romans 7:8, the element of sin takes advantage of the law in order to produce in you all manner of concupiscence. Romans 7:5, the motions of sins, which bring forth fruit unto death, are by the law. If you can get a hold of these truths it may even change your life...you will even begin to...

    The wrong Cross

    From Romans 2:13, Paul begins down a line of reasoning that leads him to a different conclusion in Romans 3:28. It is an interesting study to see how God changed Paul's mind through the logic that is represented in the in-between verses.

    ~ Don't Get Hoodwinked ~

    It is alright to preach to the converted...even the body of Christ can be edified by things that are given to us in the word. I was blessed by what @101G said. I know that when I post, I often stop and ask the Lord to give me the right words to say....especially when I feel that a certain...

    CALLED

    I believe that Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16 applies to all who are under the New Covenant.

    The wrong Cross

    More accurately, you cannot be touched by Jesus and still be a friend to the world. This does not mean that you desire that the world go to pot or that it be brought to detriment. As believers in Christ, we are to be salt and light; and salt is a preserving agent. Therefore as believers, we...

    The wrong Cross

    The reality is, that if you are relying on your own strength, you will not help him as he lays bleeding on the side of the road... Any work that is truly worthy of reward in the kingdom of heaven is motivated by love. And that comes by the Holy Ghost. If someone helps a man by the side of...

    God's Grace keeps on giving the Blood

    Just means righteous. Those who are defined as righteous are those who do righteousness (1 John 3:7). It is also true that I am not discounting Romans 4:1-8 when I say that faith without works is dead. We are given salvation as a free gift, by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Not by works...

    God's Grace keeps on giving the Blood

    If people fail to love the way they are supposed to, are they not bad people? Therefore the law to love applies to them. For those who are good (who have the love of God shed abroad in their heart through the Holy Ghost), the law does not apply in condemnation because through their behaviour...
