Mark of the beast remember? The beast has been working on global unity for a very long time. More recently however the beast has been much more pro active in his demands and in 2015 he wrote an encyclical called Laudato Si. A few years later he reiterated the main points of Laudato Si before the...

Then the devil flees from you as he has nothing to answer back with, KJV Matthew 4:4 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God .

Yet we understand greatly not just the extent of God's love for man, but the power of that love. Jesus has already paid the ransom office for every man, woman, and child on the planet, throughout all generations. In other words, the whole world. God therefore has already initiated a relationship...

None of your quotes say we are no longer obliged to obey God's commandments. Not being under the law means we are no longer condemned as being transgressors of the law. If I am pulled over by a highway patrol-man because I was speeding, and admit that yes, I was indeed doing 75mph in a 50mph...

And observing the Sabbath through which we enhance the is not in Christ, neither is restful? How would you know this unless you experience it?

Yes, the "father of faith", living under the "old covenant", was a legalist earning his way to heaven. At least according to some here. Understandable when you completely discard the truth of salvation by grace through faith...under both covenants.

So Abraham, the father of the faithful, was a legalist? KJV Genesis 26:5 5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws .

You aren't alone. The statistics inform us that the numbers of people in the church addicted to porn are not dissimilar to the numbers outside the church. And those numbers are shocking. That is the world we live in today. I think there is one basic lesson all of us need to learn, which we...

Here's an interesting conversation on something else going on that is a deception and distraction from gospel truth... And a stark denial of Jesus as Messiah. I think you will enjoy this.

Your animus toward the Sabbath of the 4th commandment is palpable. You have a massive mistaken preconceived bias, which you then attempt to justify with scripture which only appears to support your stance with a superficial reading by those who want to believe as you do... Such understanding...

Interesting. Of course we have a contingent of Catholics who lay claim to their church's assertions that Rome was the center of Christianity and responsible for giving us the Bible. In order to bolster that claim we see a jump to Luther and Calvin and Zwingli and given the opportunity, others...

Not the point I was making but okay.

He says it well, but what does he mean by what he says? What of those who come to Christ at the last hour, those who haven't had time to develop character and overcome every habit and addiction? Many who have been Christians for 40,50 years, still struggle to overcome traits of character...

I think if you really wanted to acknowledge harmony in scripture, you will find that references to people in heaven praising God are resurrected saints. Not disembodied spirits/souls. KJV Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither...

I think there's both. We will never attain to the perfect holiness of deity, so we will always need that imputed righteousness through being justified by faith in the blood of Christ. But as we are, unless we are made into new creatures, by the impartation of Christ's righteousness into our...

The question I don't see you addressing, is the question related to character. Does the righteousness we receive actually forensically change who we are and how we behave? Does it affect character?

Imparted righteousness is a gift. It is the righteousness of Christ. As we receive Christ, we receive His righteousness.

I'm going to keep this as simple as I can. Justification was made for all men by the death of Jesus, the Son of God. It comes to individuals and is made effective personally, by faith. First, there is the fact established, second is the individual's belief in and trust in that fact. Why did...

Interesting, thanks for a different perspective.

God is good. Always. To everyone. I still laugh when I remember arriving here from NZ (where there are no snakes and in all my 60+years never saw a local widow spider) 7 years ago, when being driven from the airport to my daughter's home an hour away, focused intently on the side of the road...
