Why don't you just come right out and say what you believe about it. It seems to me that you have disagreed with my contention that righteousness is imparted also; So that to me implies that you believe that righteousness is imputed only. But I will let you now declare what you really believe...

It is not discouraging if you would be willing to grow your hair out...this is not that difficult a thing for you to do.

The only requirement of Torah that is any more placed on Gentile Christians is mentioned in Acts of the Apostles 15:22-29.

The land of Israel will be inherited by the descendants of Jacob. It is a small land that is given to them. While some who are not of Israel may indeed be allowed to live in the land, I believe that it will primarily be inhabited by Israel (the descendants of Jacob).

No, the Gentiles do not inherit the land of Israel. The blessing of Abraham, in a nutshell, is salvation by grace through faith. It is the promised Holy Spirit.

It's not like these things are going to make you lose your salvation. What I was saying was that if you are going to be in the ministry, these things might disqualify you; because they mean you are unfaithful in that which is least and therefore would be unfaithful in that which is greater. I...

@Stranger, I consider you hostile.

God does not require of Gentiles the same things that He requires of Jews in Judaism. The entire epistle of Paul to the Galatians, is written to deal with a problem in the Gentile church that arose because certain people, called Judaizers, came in and wanted to teach Gentile believers that they...

I have never said that 1 John 3:7 is speaking of only imputed righteousness; I have always said that it teaches that righteousness is also imparted. I ask you: do you agree that righteousness is imparted/practical; and not only imputed/positional? Then I suppose that we will have to agree to...

Concerning the tefilin (phylacteries) being a requirement: Mat 23:1, Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Mat 23:2, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: Mat 23:3, All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after...

By their fruits you shall know them. He that is faithful in that which is least shall be faithful also in much; but he that is unjust in that which is least shall be unjust also in that which is greater. Luke 16:10. This scripture applies to our application of 1 Corinthians 11:1-16. If any...

How many Christians in that group?

Sorry, I posted the quotes from the post #'s you mentioned and was going to answer them. Then I looked at what I had written more closely and edited my post accordingly. I tend not to delete work that I have already spoken. It has been quite a few days since the posts in question were made...

1 John 2:6, 1Jo 2:6, He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. can further be understood by looking at 1 John 2:17, 1 John 2:27, and 1 John 3:6. 1Jo 2:17, And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for...

One can also go further with 1 John 3:7 by comparing it to 1 John 3:3 and 1 John 2:6. 1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jo 3:3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure...

Also, it should be clear that the context of a verse does not nullify its plain application to our lives, hermeneutically. Every verse of scripture has application to our lives that is not defeated by the context. And therefore, the context of Matthew 5:6, that it is contained in the Sermon on...

I have not presented Matthew 5:6 and Romans 5:19 as pillars for my faith; but as strikes, of the sword of the Spirit, against your understanding that righteousness is imputed only. In post #148 above, you conceded that righteousness is also imparted, so I win. 1 John 3:7, in doing its double...

#148: I think I must have missed this post of yours; because I am in agreement with it: unless in context of the other posts before it it is saying something different than what I now think of it as saying. Although, at second look, I think that if people are not really righteous in heaven...

1Jo 3:10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

When the mark begins to be implemented, those who do not take it will not be able to buy or sell period. Thus if you are going to say that any kind of currency is the mark of the beast, you are going to have to say that every kind of currency is the mark of the beast; to be consistent with this...
