Deu 22:12, Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself. If you do not wear tzitizit, you are in violation of the (letter of the) law; and are therefore guilty of breaking all of it. Yet Jesus broke the letter of the law in healing on the...

I would say that the name of the son that was given in Isaiah 9:6 is, among other things, the everlasting Father. Also, it should be clear that there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5) and that that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). And no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by...

I haven't slept a wink tonight and need to get up early tomorrow. So I will resume later.

I didn't say that He ever ceased to be God. Taking on the added nature of human flesh in no way subtracted from His Deity. And I am also saying that the Father became the Son (Isaiah 9:6). Because God descended to become human and not 1/3 of God and neither did a 2nd God descend to become...

Love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:8-10). The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). If we walk according to the love of the Holy Ghost, the righteousness of the law will be fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4); there is no law that will condemn us if we...

It has to do with the fact that we have been forgiven of every sin. What then is our relationship to the law? It no longer has the capability of condemning us. It still governs us on the inside, however. It governs not by the letter, but by the spirit. Jesus obeyed the spirit of the law...

I believe that the Father inhabits eternity and that the Son is come in human flesh...while it is the same Spirit that dwells in the body of Jesus as inhabits eternity, the Son exists as a human being while the Father exists as the eternal Spirit...and this eternal Spirit fully indwells the...

It is not modalism; it is the truth of scripture (John 4:23-24; John 14:7-11). There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5) and that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). No one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the power of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3). In the thread in...

So you believe that God created satan a murderer? Is God good in your view? What possible reason would an Omnipotent, all-loving, sovereign God have for creating someone who would wreak havoc on his Universe, murdering people created by Him left and right? It is a doctrine to the glory of...

I would consider that the understanding that satan is the person being spoken of in Ezekiel 28 is almost, practically, foundational to the faith, in our understanding of who the devil is in basic Christianity 101. Therefore I find that in order to keep their concept that there is no free will...

I want to ask the Calvinist a question that is very simple. Jesus said, Ye must be born again. According to Calvinism, what must I do to become born again/saved, if I consider myself unsaved? I have heard some Calvinists rightly answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be...

The next step, of course, is for you to try to do to him (and/or me) what Calvin did to Servetus.

Hello @quietthinker, I believe that the Lord would say that as believers in Christ, as blood-bought saints, we who are in Christ we are forgiven of past, present, and future sin (Romans 4:8, Hebrews 9:12, Romans 8:38-39); so that our relationship to the law is that we are no longer under it...

The point being that you would do well to follow Spurgeon's example, in not neglecting to give an invitation to sinners to receive Christ. Spurgeon did this in spite of the fact that he followed Calvinism in his theology. He was right to give invitations in all of his services.

I guess that we will have to agree to disagree...because the passage in question is clearly about the devil from my perspective.

Have you forgotten Romans 5:2 so soon? Our access into grace is by faith.

Our beliefs will have an effect on our behaviour and works, so they are not irrelevant... However, the holy scriptures are clear that our judgment will be according to our works: 2Co 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in...

In that calling on the name of the Lord is a condition for salvation, this indicates that salvation does not come first; but that rather that calling upon the name of the Lord is the catalyst for being saved.
