Thank you I will take your words into consideration. I feel that my understanding of the matters is actually concise. Perhaps my relation of them to you is muddled. No; Jesus didn't say the law wouldn't change; He said that not one jot or tittle would pass from it. There is a difference...

There is no law of God that would condemn those who are bearing the fruit of the Spirit. So perhaps you are right in saying that it was the Pharisee's misinterpretation of the sabbath laws that Jesus violated. But then, since the law has changed (Hebrews 7:12), violating the sabbath would not...

There was a change of law with the change in priesthood. Jesus is Lord of the sabbath; and He has also defined the sabbath as being made for man and not man for the sabbath. Therefore in violating the sabbath (John 5:17-18) Jesus didn't sin. Because the priesthood that He presides over is not...

We are only invulnerable if we are wearing the full armor of God; and if we are fighting the battle offensively.

It is written, Mat 7:21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out...

And the demons are outnumbered 2 to 1.

However, this was before the Holy Spirit was given, see John 7:37-39. If the Omnipotent Lord dwells within you and is guarding the doorway of your heart, how can any demon enter in? And also, if anyone receives Christ, does He not invade the home? Therefore those who were previously living...

...but not necessarily in Jesus Christ.

We believe that the sun will continue to shine because we have a promise from the word in Genesis 8:22 that nature is basically constant. But for those without this promise, who may have read too many science fiction thrillers, they may not even have the faith for the sun rising...

I never read the book so I don't have a frame of reference for what you're talking about.

Excellent point!

Because of our tendency to rely on ourselves. When we place our trust in Him and in Him alone, we cannot fall. Jde 1:24, Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 2Pe 1:10, Wherefore the rather...

If you think that you are invulnerable in your own power, then I see how that would be so. But if the Lord is your defense, then your defense is sure. Psa 121:1, [[A Song of degrees.]] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Psa 121:2, My help cometh from the LORD...

If someone is filled with the Holy Spirit, they do not pal around with the devil through false doctrines. 1Jo 2:20, But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

Those who are filled with the Holy Spirit don't play with the devil; the Holy Spirit restrains us.

Ephesians 5:30-32 w/ 1 John 3:5 also.

I do not think so (Romans 6:6, Colossians 2:11, 1 John 1:7, Titus 2:14, Hebrews 10:14, etc.)

We receive the gift of God by exercising faith; how then is faith the gift?
