Works are the result of a living faith. They do not save us in and of themselves but they are the only true evidence of a real salvation. Because the Lord has called us to love, not in word or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18). But we do not obtain the love of the Lord...

Heb 8:13, In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. 2Pe 1:3, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to...

The only case of polygamy that I can think of in the OT is with Jacob and Leah and Rachel; and that was because Laban tricked Jacob. I know of no mandate in the OT where it says in OT law that polygamy is to be the practice of Judaism. Our culture is based on a Judeo-Christian ethic; if...

post #18 of Commentary on Romans. To @bbyrd009

I would love to address the scripture you are thinking of if you will make it clear to me what it is.

We who are alive and remain will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air, at the time of the rapture. So yes, there will be faith on the earth. I have no argument with your contention that it will be found in those who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13-14 teaches...

Homosexuals who repent and receive the free gift of the Lord's forgiveness will indeed enter the kingdom. And such were some of you. What is clear is that you, @bbyrd009, have been consistently coming from the perspective of an unbeliever; and that this is clear to anyone who has the Holy...

Most certainly, the whole law cannot possibly be observed today. It does not change the fact that circumcision creates a requirement to obey it fully.

If you were to look up the verses that I normally reference, you would know where the words and body are found...in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (kjv).

Those of us who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Thus, at the time of the rapture, there will be faith on the earth.

If someone is circumcised they are required to obey the whole law...all 613 commandments in the OT...perfectly from the moment they are circumcised into eternity...see Galatians 5:1-4. I myself am circumcised. So how does the passage in question not exclude me from salvation by faith in Jesus...

Our entire spirit and soul and body can be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hi @JohnPaul, welcome to the forums from me also. 3Jo 1:11, Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. If we are truly born again of the Holy Spirit, we will do good. However, our behaviour/works is...

It seems to me that Galatians 5:1-4 is clear: those who are circumcised are required to keep the whole law. This appears to me to be a different way of salvation than what Paul preaches is for the Gentiles in Galatians 2:16; if those who are circumcised can even be saved. (I am playing devil's...

I'm not sure how it is that you got the opposite message of what I was saying, from what I was saying.

Also, the fact that the Gentiles are made fellow-heirs in the kingdom of the Father.

See Romans 8:23. Our adoption as sons = the redemption of the body. This is defined by Ephesians 5:30-32 w/ 1 John 3:5, also 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Is the redemption of the body only in the future? In Galatians 4:5-7, it is identified as something that was past in the life of the Galatian...

You don't believe in a secret rapture....it's alright...we'll explain it to you on the way up.

You have not shown that these statements are biblical statements. Once and if you can show that these statements are from the Bible, I will address the issue based on a deeper look at the scriptures in question. As it is, you are making general statements about what you think the scripture...
