Jesus is the Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3). God the Father is the Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). There is one Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:5, Jude 1:4 (kjv), Mark 12:29). The Lord is God (Acts of the Apostles 4:24 (kjv), Jude 1:4 (kjv), Mark 12:29 (kjv)). A point to consider: anytime...

So now you are going to accuse me of being scornful and hating knowledge? That it simply not true of me; and I know this because of my extensive times of reading in God's word. But Paul said, I do not permit a woman to teach or usurp authority over a man...and then referred to the order of...

It is true that for the unbelieving sinner, he is required to obey the law perfectly in order to be saved, from conception into eternity (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48). For the person who is redeemed by Christ, on the other hand, obedience is not a requirement but a privilege. The...

See John 5:17-18. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John testifies under inspiration of the Holy...

In 1 Timothy 1:15, Paul calls himself the chief of sinners in the present tense; and testifies that for us to say the same is a trustworthy saying and worthy of all acceptation. There is no "fleshly' interpretation attached to this. I simply state it as it appears in that scripture.

It was only 8:00pm; I'm going to go a little longer until my bedtime which is around ten. It is not a lie to say that we are sinners. It is a statement of truth that comes from the truth dwelling within us (Psalms 51:6, 1 John 1:8). And also, it is not that I say that I am a sinner because...

Okay one more post and then good night. You are not my teacher, because of 1 Timothy 2:11-14. Your only audience here biblically is other women who frequent these boards; and even then, you need a male teacher to be your covering. Also, you would do well not to judge the salvation of others...

I have to do some gardening in the morning but I may be online later in the day tomorrow. I think I'm going to bed too. I have spent so much time today trying to read through this entire thread and respond to it (and I didn't get all the way through) that I haven't gotten in my normal reading...

It has always been in the back of my mind that the love of God is from the Holy Spirit; and on the forefront of my posts. Do I not always reference Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, and Romans 5:5 when I mention my motivation for obedience? These verses are there just about every time for someone to...

I do not use this verse to justify my own sin, personally. I take it as an admonishment unto true humility, as it is described in Luke 18:9-14 in the example of the publican, and in David's prayer of penitence in Psalms 51, esp. Psalms 51:3.

I would qualify my statements by saying that the law dictates to us the specifics of the love of God (Romans 13:8-10, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6)..

You're talking to @1stCenturyLady, I presume? Because I am certainly not saying any of that.

How do you interpret 1 Timothy 1:15? Does it not say that it is a trustworthy saying to call myself a sinner to the public? And I have never taken credit for myself because I love Christ. Is not love for Christ given by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5)? All the glory goes to...

Doctrine of salvation is intertwined with that issue. It must be clear that biblical obedience is the result of faith in Jesus and not in order to obtain, maintain, or earn salvation. We obey because we are thankful to Him for what He has done for us; we love Jesus much because we have been...

This indicates to me that if you were to die tonight, it would be in your sins (John 8:24). I was not attempting to make law-keeping seem wrong. I point it out because salvation is not by law-keeping. In fact, law-keeping is a method of salvation that attempts to compete with faith in Jesus...

A Christian can certainly obey that commandment even if he believes that obedience to it is unnecessary for salvation, was my point.

Your problem is not in your intellect but in your heart. Jesus said that those who will not believe that He is the great I AM, will die in their sins. You must be born again to go to heaven; and that includes accepting the testimony that Jesus Christ is God. No one can say that Jesus is the...

Read John 14:7-11. The Father was in Jesus and Jesus was in the Father. When Jesus died, the Father (the Spirit of Jesus...John 4:23-24) left His body in physical death. The eternal Spirit continued to be alive. It was the soul of Jesus that was offered as a sin offering (Isaiah 53:10)...

It's not all bad. The whole thing in question will serve to be a schoolmaster to lead people to Christ (which is what the law does). If you take a careful look at Romans 9:30-33, I believe you will see that there is a sense in which Jesus and the law are one.

Love is indeed the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:8-10). And it is shed abroad in the heart by the power of the Spirit (Romans 5:5). When we walk according to this love, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4). In understanding that your sin is ever before you (Psalms...
