Our "salvation" is compared to that of the Jews' from Egypt--still, after salvation, they sinned and fell under God's wrath, and didn't inherit the promise (1 Co 9:26-1 Co 10). Yes, we are saved by grace through faith--and, still, after our salvation, we are told that we must "love one...

I actually have taken my own advice: this is my thread that I authored because I wanted to share my thoughts. What have I told you to do that I have not done? I'm simply telling you to be orderly because you're being disorderly, so, yes, I'm on topic.

What is the issue with works?

Oops, it's my thread, and I'm on topic. Any time you want to interact with specific points I've made, you're welcome to--you're just not welcome to flood my thread. Just don't be rude. That's all I ask.

I do not care about your thoughts on what you think God tells you to do, I only care that you stop being rude and be orderly and do not flood my thread with random irrelevant Scriptures. If you have an urge to write irrelevant random Scripture verses, go open your own thread.

It is rude for you to misrepresent me--and "Love is not rude". I do not want my thread to be a one-way conversation--it is yourself, posting irrelevant random Scripture verses, without citing anything I've stated, to make clear what point you're trying to make, who wants to have a one-way...

I really hope it is your final response--I hope you don't decide that "God" is telling you to be rude and flood my thread with random irrelevant Scripture verses.

I don't care if it literally uses the word "supply". Do you believe in the trinity? Where is that word in Scripture? The verse says "we know we are abiding in Him because of the Spirit He has given us"--"give" and "supply" are synonymous. I don't have to use the exact term--and if I did my...

Again and again, I have no issue with being challenged, but what is reasonable is that if you are "challenging" me you will QUOTE what you are "challenging", and address it specifically, and explain how what you are posting is a "challenge". I'm not here to do your work for you, and you are not...

1 John 3 23This is His commandment, that we [h]believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24The one who keeps His commandments remains in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. But, to the...

1. You excused yourself from the discussion, didn't you? 2. If you flood my thread, you are not being considerate--"love is not rude". Do not be rude. Do not derail my thread with a flood of comments that are not specific interactions (as explained). 3. I am not here to answer your issues. This...

God supplies His Spirit to those who abide in Christ by obeying the Command: 1) believe in the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another (1 Jn 3:23,24)--some do not abide (1 Jn 2:28), because they are led away by idolatry (1 Jn 5:21). I've explained this over and over--clearly, you have not...

All I'm asking is what is reasonable: if you're posting in my thread, then, please, be reasonable, and interact with the specific points I'm making--otherwise, you are just making your own off-topic expressions (including flooding my thread with various verses of Scripture you think may be...

I just want to clarify that, yes, part of "obeying" is believing in the Name of God's Son, believing that we have forgiveness--that much is certain, since, for instance, just as with Cornelius, the Galatians were said to have received the Spirit upon hearing with faith (since the Spirit was...

Please do not flood my thread with non-responsive posts trying to suppress my expression. I don't mind if you are actually responding to me--that I can deal with--but you're suppressing the discussion by just flooding the discussion with non-responsive responses. If you wish to express all of...

I agree that "do not covet" is a holy, just, and good commandment (that was the commandment that was in view, there), but I also agree with Jesus that the Torah also contains many concessions that are not God's Holy will.

I just noticed that this also was not an answer to the objection: the objection was that we do not serve by the Torah, not that we do not fulfill its righteous requirements. In fact, those who walk after the Spirit are said to fulfill "the whole Law" (Ro 13:8-10; Gal 5:14).

I just noticed you didn't actually answer the objection: the Torah does NOT contain God's exact will, as Christ denounces its concessions. This reminds me of how Paul says "the righteous requirement"--"it has some righteous statutes, but it also contains concessions" could be one way of reading...

Yeah, those who walk after the Spirit keep the Law, according to Paul--"against such things there is no Law"--so, no, we don't need Torah.

Gentile believers, who do not know the Law, but who walk after the Spirit, are qualified as "doers of the Law" who will be "justified" for "doing good" (Ro 2:6-16, 26, 27), so, no, we don't need Torah--it never worked, and it doesn't work today. Grace works.
