When I first came to Christ 43 years ago my understanding of scripture and the process of salvation could have been written in bold capital letters on the back of a napkin and left enough space for the Declaration of Independence. I knew nothing of the concept of OSAS until Christian forums...

Perhaps intimidated is a little strong. Put it this way. I wouldn't stand up and debate a scientist on the subject of physics as he would use it in the context of evolutionary theory. Simply beyond my pay grade. So I don't debate on the subject of Calvinism or Arminianism. Even though I have...

Christians were being sacrificed on the altars of the pyres of the inquisition with hateful priests officiating.

During the dark ages the church was in the form of men, women, and children on the altar, not ministering in front of it.

Hi Johann. You and I haven't conversed much, I must confess to being just a tad intimidated by your understanding of scripture, and although I may not entirely agree with some of your points, I do see I think where you are coming from, and I don't fancy myself as being equipped to tackle you on...

@Marymog you asked me a serious question, I gave you a serious answer, and your response was... LOL... Okay, thanks. And you wonder why people are reluctant to go down the roads you direct them to?

I can't believe you guys are still dredging up the same stuff every time the subject of the Sabbath comes up. All those points have been roundly and thoroughly debunked/refuted/demolished. Time and time again. Quote...Only One Man Fully and Completely Satisfied the FATHER so that we can have...

See how well you reconcile and harmonize your quote above with this.... KJV Romans 8:3-4, 7-9 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the...

And yet you have been saying that the letter couldn't be obeyed without the spirit... Yet the Pharisees managed it perfectly... Or did they? But the real point is your, and others, automatic defense for your own resistance to the 4th Commandment is to come down on others attempting to prove...

Mmm. He did look at my heart briefly and He told me what He saw. I wasn't to impressed, so I came to Jesus. Now my Father looks at Jesus, and for me there's no condemnation. But my heart is still deceitful above all things. I just need to make sure I don't resurrect it.

Oh. Only me?

So this...And to murder according to the letter, you have to do so inwardly first.... Would seem to contradict that though wouldn't it? I suggest that all sin, even the profaning of the Sabbath, is the fruit of an evil heart. Whether one consciously plans murder and is motivated through hate or...

Why specifically NT? Does not the OT have authority?

You don't think you need a new heart to keep the Sabbath? The Pharisees kept the Sabbath absolutely meticulously, yet Jesus had a major battle with them over that very thing. Why do you think that is?

Yes.

I'm happy for you. Do you think it is possible for someone to kill me without any emotional or spiritual investment?

You're welcome. Always happy to please.

The problem @stunnedbygrace you will have is that when you manage to overcome this penchant you have for murdering people "in the spirit", you will still need to be obeying the letter. Will it still kill you then?

I would suggest the opposite. Was Paul being deceived when the law said to him, thou shalt not covet? Previous to the law speaking to him, Paul was deceived into thinking he was innocent of lust, but with the law came revelation, not deception. KJV Romans 7:7-9 7 What shall we say then? Is the...
