Yes, unbelievable. Check out one I found. Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy...

Do you know what "commandments" John is referring to?

LAW had not been abolished, but which law do you think will justify you? The Ten Commandments or the Law of Liberty? John 15:10 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. Two different sets of commandments, but...

It seems you do not know the true meaning of grace, if you believe a Christian continues to sin. Grace is the power of God to NOT sin. It is not something we earn. We merely repent and Jesus gives us His own sinless Spirit to make us like Himself. The Reformation did not understand the true...

This is the basis of your error. It is not the Ten Commandments that are written on our hearts. They were written on stone, and merely based on the eternal laws of God as examples to teach and show sin. It is the Royal law that is written on our hearts - the eternal laws from before the...

Yes, I agree. The old commandments only showed us our sin. SIN was the problem. And breaking one commandment through sin made us guilty of all. That is what grace is all about. Not the misrepresentation and misinterpretation of unmerited favor, but the power of God to kill the sin nature, making...

A true Christian would never have to even think about aborting a baby because they wouldn't be indulging in fornication. That is the main issue. Sin. Abortion is a byproduct and is murder. They love darkness, and will even fight in the courts to keep it.

You don't believe miracles happen today?

Here: "Interesting but it does not begin to explain why God has done miracles in the past or why he should do them now." Seeing as the miraculous of God is happening, who can explain that but God? So you are questioning God.

In California they are also trying to outlaw the Bible! Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! The sacrifice of children was in all the demonic religions under their false...

I've often wondered about degrees of punishment also. But don't plan to find out by experience.

I haven't found that the Bible gives a detailed explanation. Granted what it is, is total separation from God. God is light. I'm just wondering 'when' does that begin - at death - or judgment.

For me, eternal security has to do with obeying God. Understanding what you and I have been talking about has everything to do with that assurance. 1 John 3:18-24. Note the difference in "commandments." They are the "laws" of the New Covenant. Also, note that keeping any day of the week, even in...

Correct. Note that the covenant of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28) which included the Sabbath was not unilateral. I know you want to keep the Sabbath day, but do you really keep it? Do you rest from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday? You do nothing for your own pleasure on the Sabbath...

Remember Romans 14 and don't judge @gadar perets for keeping the old food laws, even if God did, in fact, rescind them. They were only for the Jews, as Noah was told he could eat anything that moves which would have included pork Genesis 9:3. Only clean meats were separated for sacrifices to...

Well, it's not the "lake of fire," so to me it could be the time experienced after death, and before the resurrection for the unrighteous.

The difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament is in whose strength are we doers of the word? In our own strength, or by the Spirit.

By saying "unilateral and unconditional" it is the same concept. We have nothing to do with it, only God. But, we are responsible to accept His gift, or leave it and be damned.

I call obeying God part of my new nature. It is what we do naturally. But that is only by the Holy Spirit IF we have Him. What is confusing all of us, I believe, is your statements of "unconditional and universal" without explanation. God ALWAYS applies conditions, and NEVER saves universally...

You didn't answer my question, and my question did not have to do with covenants, but asking if you believe all are saved. Is that what you believe the New Covenant is about? A universal, unconditional saving of everyone? You don't have to debate it, but I would like to know what you believe.
