Yes, the word of the Lord; just not based on a set of do's and don'ts that we follow in order to obtain spiritual life. Such an idea is foreign to the New Testament. No, because the law is not of faith (Galatians 3:12). I disagree (Galatians 3:12). The purpose of the law is that it is a...

It's purely speculation, but interesting to contemplate. :)

Eve was said to be the mother of all living before Cain was born. I conclude that there were children born without the sin-DNA that came from eating of the tree. Cain was born (spiritually) dead.

My way of dealing with 1 John 1:8 is to say that Job 9:21 (kjv) is the deciding factor. If I am perfect, I do not know my own soul; and therefore would never claim to be or even think that I am perfect. Which is not to say that it is impossible that I should be perfect. Isaiah 42:19 and John...

As many as be perfect shall have this attitude; that they have room to grow in the realm of being delivered from sin (Philippians 3:12-15).

Spiritual life never existed because of obedience to the law...rather, the law pointed to faith in the Messiah through which real spiritual life could be obtained. But not because of the law. Because people put their faith in the coming Messiah. That is the only reason why anyone had...

Please don't be angry. I am merely taking a position in order to draw out your teaching. By all means explain what you believe in; I am not opposed to hearing your pov. But I believe that any valid pov will stand when subjected to the test of scrutiny. So, expect the doctrine that you are...

Any specific verses in the chapter that you want us to look at?

Actually, Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters according to Genesis, some of whom had never eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (see Genesis 3:20; compare chronology in Genesis 4:1)...elves. Therefore Cain's offspring may have indeed been half-elven. Just a...

I am not really saying anything any more for your benefit (but will continue to post here for the benefit of others). You have obviously closed your mind to the truth that I am proclaiming.

:rolleyes: So, the apostle John is without the Spirit of truth? He says "we" here!

Exactly Then Paul was being naive when he wrote Galatians 3:21. The only spiritual life that Israel had through the law of Moses was indirectly; in that the law pointed them to the coming Messiah. Before Christ came, men looked forward to the coming of the Messiah and this was what produced...

Jhn 3:22, After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. Jhn 6:1, After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. Jhn 7:1, After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not...

That is disputable. I find that after having submitted to my wife's wishes on certain things, thus setting an example for her to follow, that she is more apt to submit to me when I give a final word. She even called me "lord" once without an ounce of sarcasm. I believe that loving our wives...

v.21 (try the kjv).

I suppose that it's possible that the star of David is not the star of Remphan; but I'm unaware of any other star in Jewish history that qualifies as a possibility for being that particular memo.

:D

Yes, the New Testament supersedes the old and is superior to it. See Hebrews 8:13 and/or 2 Corinthians 3.

You are being condescending. I meditate on the scriptures day and night in order that I might not only be able to quote them, but to understand them. The law simply cannot impart life. Gal 3:21, Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which...

I also learned multiplication in grade school. 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. That is sound mathematics. But you must have a trick up your sleeve; because you must have known that this was coming.
