You are here calling God a created being, as it is written, God is a Spirit, in John 4:24. But you are not far off in that, since in the flesh, Christ had a created human body, so that it is faithful to be written, Rom 1:3, Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed...

Correct...because I was responding to your post.

Yes, we obey Jesus because we love Him. But we do not obey Jesus to prove to other people, to ourselves, or to God, that we love Him. We love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). Because we are forgiven much (Luke 7:36-50). Because He has shed abroad His love in our hearts via the...

Yes, Jesus and the Father are one and the same Person; whole there is also a distinction between them: in that one inhabiteth eternity as a Spirit; while the other dwells in a human body, incarnated in the flesh. It is answered in the understanding that the Father became the Son by taking on an...

Now there is a contradiction in the Bible unless there John 5:24 rules out a nominal, lukewarm, and shallow faith...i.e. mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel...because Luke 8:13 declares that there are those who "believe for a while and then fall away." It is also important to count...

Already told you. Also, i suggest you understand the scripture that I have brought to your attention.

You are treading on dangerous ground. I quoted those verses under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And to reject what the Holy Spirit is saying as being of satan is tantamount to the unpardonable sin.

Rom 7:1, Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Rom 7:2, For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law...

John 5:24 would teach us that (in a sense) initial salvation is final salvation...that upon believing we pass from death into everlasting life. If one is initially saved eternally, then nothing can take salvation away; otherwise it isn't eternal, it is temporal.

If you play Bible roullette you are liable to shoot a Bible verse through your head.

Amen. Like I said, I don't think that any of us can be called great in the kingdom, according to Matthew 5:17-20, unless we started walking around wearing tzitzit and tallit and tefilin... re #925.

However, there are those who think they are in the church who are under it... ex. someone who walks into a McDonald's and thinks they are a hamburger. :eek::p:cool:

The law is useful in a church setting as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ; for it has the power to convert the soul (Psalms 19:7 (kjv)). It shows us that we are sinners in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20). It also defines sin for us (1 John 3:4 (kjv)). re #920.

Same here. I have posted somewhere on these boards, how the logic of TULIP leads me into the conclusive understanding of the free will and sovereignty of man. So I'm not much for the logical suppositions of Calvinism either. However, I do definitely see that scripture substantiates such a...

I would say that those who have not come to faith yet are still under the OT law (Galatians 3:23); which has not changed for those who are putting their trust in their works to save them (Matthew 5:17-20; Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48). The only sense in which the law has changed for...

It definitely helps in the process of understanding the doctrine. I would just say that it doesn't present an airtight case for it (whereas other passages do).

As a schoolmaster that leads men to Christ, as a definer of sin, and as a standard that all must live up to, the law has not changed (Matthew 5:17-20). The only sense in which it has changed, is in that, for the believer, we now obey the spirit of what was written rather than being bound to the...

That God loves us does not necessarily translate into us being saved from hell. So Romans 8:38-39 falls short in being a passage on eternal security. For that doctrine, I stick to the more concrete passages (such as John 5:25, John 6:47, and John 10:27-30).

Jesus said that until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law. :eek:
