Zip, right over your head. But, from your Avatar, I can expect nothing else. Don't you know that we can do nothing without God? But we have to want God MORE than we want our sin. Then and only then does God take away our sin.

Closed attitude? Looks who's talking. ROFL

I understand them, and they are in the order they occurred. Let's talk about what you see as truth. Your first mistake was in saying the food laws concerning meat were given to Noah, not Moses, with no scriptural backup for what you believe. It is your turn to prove what you believe. I already...

Unfortunate story and you blame overcomers like me. But they are the ones who truly tried to help him. BTW 1 John 1:8 is not about Christians, but those BEFORE Christ and confessing their sin 1 John 1:9, the very next verse in context. Verse 7 is a Christian. Because you have no power within...

I can understand English. Acts 10:15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” Stop calling pork and shellfish abominable. God overrules Ellen G. White. Do you not know we are no longer under the old covenant, but under the new covenant?

Don't make statements you can't back up with scripture. Show us where the food laws were about health, and not spiritual.

Are you God's teacher? Just curious, can you read plain English, or just believe whatever EGW tells you, like the blind leading the blind? 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. For every creature of God is good NOT...

You've missed the point of meat laws, and in the process made scriptural mistakes of terminology and chronology of events regarding meat as well as wrong assumptions from your denomination. They were not health laws, but spiritual laws separating the clean from the unclean. And at the time of...

On His Own Authority. Covenants start and end with God. The Old Covenant started at Mt. Sinai and ended when the New Covenant came into effect. But nothing inside a covenant ends until the covenant ends. Just as in the New Covenant we are given gifts of the Holy Spirit. The ignorant...

I think you were just getting confused over the word "commandments" as do Seventh-day Adventists. I've seen many of them use verses out of John's writings to endorse the Ten Commandments, when John is referring to these two: 1. believing in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and 2. loving one...

What is your point?

Though we don't agree on everything, I do agree with you most of the time. I too am not a denominationalist and study on my own. I think I did ask you about total depravity and asked if you or Calvinists believe we remain totally depraved. Now I can only remember asking the question, but not...

It is interesting that Peter said that some things written by Paul are hard to understand. But I find that people twist John's words just as much as Paul's. Every book of the Bible must be read in context. Romans must be read in one sitting, at least up through chapter 8 to see the whole...

Have you ever been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Can you give us your testimony? For me there was a night and day transformation of power over my thoughts and actions. Our desires are what we think about. Our desires are from our nature. Either the sin nature or as a new creature in Christ. IOW...

I'm not saying it is by our works. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. But that is before the empowering of the Holy Spirit. It is HIM working the works through us, not on our own. As for Romans 7, haven't you read that in context yet? It seems you are taking verses 14-23 and not starting with...

One thing I think you are saying that I don't agree with and that is the meaning of flesh. Romans 8:9-11 is speaking of two different things called "the flesh." One is our nature, which before the Spirit was a sin nature or called our carnal flesh. The other is our bodies of "flesh" and blood...

I'm not sure what you are studying, nor why you didn't agree with Dave L, but don't forget that anything God says is a commandment. (Just as anything Jesus said was a commandment). Abraham and God spoke together, and Abraham did what He said, plain and simple. Abraham's faith to believe God was...

Jesus' words bring on evil spirits? Your posts don't make any sense.

Yes, the desire to sin is gone, and we are given a new nature that cannot willfully sin, and puts us on the road to perfection. Jesus said, "Be perfect, as my Father in Heaven is perfect." He wouldn't have said that if He wasn't going to give us the means to become perfect - His Spirit.

To me God's eternal laws are to love God with all your heart, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself. Those are the highest level commandments. The Ten Commandments are based on them, but are the lowest level commandments. They do not cover hate, but go all the way to the bottom level...
