Actually, there will have to be a temple in order for the following prophecy to be fulfilled: 2Th 2:3, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Th 2:4, Who opposeth and...

At least you are able to admit that... Yes, I can see that hate might mean something different in one verse than in another (it might even be a different Greek word); and that the context even determines the meaning. I do believe that every verse stands on its own as a bastion of truth as it...

You have your opinion, I have mine. I believe that the author of Hebrews wrote that because there is a change in priesthood, there is of necessity also a change of law (Hebrews 7:12).

Jesus defined the spirit of the law in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7) and the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20-49), if you want to confine it to specific commandments given. Of course, the Sermon on the Mount tells us that one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass away from the OT...

However, I believe that in breaking grammatical rules, He was making a claim before the Pharisees...a claim to be the voice of the burning bush in Exodus 3:14.

If you would have read further, you would have seen the intricacies of how Jesus is not praying to Himself when he prays to the Father, although He is the everlasting Father.

The Son shall have the name of the everlasting Father, Isaiah 9:6. This is because He is the everlasting Father.

When you look up the word for hate in the original Greek, it means "to love less". Which is the same conclusion that you might come to if you compare that scripture with the other scripture that speaks quite similarly. But you do not need even look at that other scripture, if you understand...

In Romans 7:6, the letter is contrasted with the spirit. Since the letter is referring to the letter of the law, I assume that the spirit there is referring to the spirit of the law. We do not obey in the oldness of the letter but in newness of spirit. The spirit of the law is defined for us...

He did away with neither...Matthew 5:17-20. However, we cannot save ourselves by keeping the law and the sooner we realize that the better. It is only through faith in Christ's shed blood that we are even saved. He sanctifies us through that blood (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29); so that we...

Bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2).

No problem...after all, it's my job to correct everyone on here whenever they make a typo...:D

I didn't read all of posts #1-#4 (though I read more of it). So I don't know if the following has been addressed. The law has a place in Christianity. It is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24-25). By it is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20); and it also defines sin for us...

elusive.

posts #1-#4... HolyBookEnds? That was a little long, I have to say I didn't read past the first few sentences. Maybe I'll look into it later when I have more time and also want to read it.

You claim to not be a member of that church, that's good enough for me (I assume that by that you mean that you also do not believe any of their doctrines). Because of course, we know that all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8); and I know that you wouldn't want...

I would ask you why you think the Lord used a departure from normal grammatical usage in making the claim of "I AM;" moving from past tense to present tense in His statement. I believe that He was indeed making a claim, referring back to what the Jews were well aware of, Exodus 3:14. They...

There is a second benefit (2 Corinthians 1:15) that the Lord can bestow upon you, when you come to the end of self and surrender all to Him, wherein you become "born of God" and as a result "cannot sin." (1 John 3:9). The Lord is able to "sanctify you wholly" (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24); even to...

Read Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16. Romans 7:6 means that we are obedient to the spirit of the law as this is defined in the New Testament (by such passages as Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, and 2 John 1:6). This does not mean adhering to the letter (such as wearing tzitzit and...

The test of any (false) doctrine that you think is proven by scripture is whether it can be refuted by other scripture. The Holy Ghost teaches us when we compare spiritual thing with spiritual. That being said, I will say that for the most part every verse of scripture stands on its own as a...
