What is this about me admitting we can't keep the law? I never said that, YOU and others like you claim that. I say that "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" which includes living an obedient life. Those who claim they can't keep the law are merely seeking to excuse their...

Upp, it is John, not my "warped theology", who said a Christian "has no sin" - said in the context of "presumptuous, deliberate, iniquitous sin", in which no Christian should engage any sooner than a married man would deliberately have sex with another woman in front of his wife, let alone...

"Under the law" is interpreted to mean "obligated to keep the law" but Paul clearly says that NOT being under the law does not negate our obligation to keep the law: "What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid!" Romans 6:15 He then goes on to drive...

A Christian has no sin. Jesus carries the burden of his past sin and he presently "cannot sin for His seed remaineth in him." Liars who claim to have no sin are lost people who have deceived themselves in order to refuse Jesus in their lives and your application of this verse to the Christian...

1) A naturally cultivated branch which bears the rotten fruit of disobedience, rejection, and murder of the Messiah deserves ZERO respect because it is dead on the ground awaiting the fire. 2) You somehow have misinterpreted my confidence in Christ for confidence in the Law. Consider yourself...

No, the Sabbath was never a sign to all of the Israel of old, but only to those who "entered into His rest". The majority of the Israel of old did not enter into His rest, and neither has the majority of God's people today, by virtue of their claim that grace is a license to commit sin without...

Great advice to those who claim to be Abraham's descendants, but who are really Satan's children. Paul says Abraham's true descendants belong to Christ and Christ said Abraham's descendants "do the works of Abraham" (John 8:39 KJV). What "works" did Abraham do? "Because Abraham OBEYED My voice...

Upp, it is impossible for the son of the bondwoman to obey the law or obtain salvation by his own efforts, though he vainly attempts to do both. However, the son of the freewoman who by the power of the indwelling Christ obeys the law because he loves Christ and has already accepted the free...

The Sabbath is a "sign" between God and the children of Israel, but let me ask you - just who are the children of Israel? The people who hate Jesus to this day and refer to Him as "the Great Imposter"? No, the children of Israel are exactly who the Bible says they are: "And if ye be Christ's...

What does "valcono" mean and why is God unethical?

Bro, there is no "stop where you are". There is only growth in Christ as we are daily transformed more and more into the image of His likeness. When a person stops this growth, it's called DEATH - and that is exactly what happens to the faith of a Christian when he decides to tell the Holy...

Yes, and I've made the point that the commandments written in stone are not diminished by the life of Jesus, the One Who wrote them in stone. The Ten Commandments are MAGNIFIED (Isaiah 42:21 KJV) by Jesus, which means not only is adultery forbidden, but lusting after another woman; not only is...

Actually, the doctrine of Eternal Torment is the source of fear-based religionnot "faith which worketh by love". I keep the Sabbath because it is a weekly reminder that evolution is a lie because my God created in six days and rested the seventh day, and He asks those who love Him to keep His...

Price? It's free. But, it will cost you everything - your whole self. The free gift of salvation can only be received by them that give themselves wholly over to Christ as both our Savior from our sins and our Lord to be obeyed. Of course, if you love Jesus you will gladly give yourself over to...

Axehead, you know nothing of the Scriptures nor of the power of God, for a blind man can see that (1) the it has ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be wrong to worship false gods, kill, steal, etc., but Passover and circumcision began at Sinai and ended at the Cross, and (2) the overcoming power of...

I'm amazed at the level of condescension here, as if I'm "coming around" to the thinking of those who claim that sin has no affect on the saving relationship that Christ provides. What I have said all along is that it is not perfection that is required, but a WILLINGNESS TO BE MADE PERFECT. In...

This is the very question I've been posing all along: Who shall receive all of Christ? Not just the SAVIOR Christ, but the LORD Christ? Everyone wants a SAVIOR Christ, but no one wants Him to Lord Himself over them and when it comes to ceasing from what caused His suffering and death on...

I strive (and fail sometimes) to keep His commandments because I love Him, not because of any shackles, just as I love to do things that my wife asks me to do because I love her. "Legalism" generally is defined as "salvation by obedience", which the Bible says is impossible. It is not the issue...

Paul wasn't humbled by any faults, he was burdened by circumstances, some say a harassing demon, but I say that's ridiculous and that it was his dimmed eyesight. God certainly doesn't mean for us to be daily humbled by willfully continuing in sin, but rather that we would boldly strive against...

If you love Jesus, you will not "forsake the gathering" on the only day in the seven that God has ever sanctioned and blessed as the day of rest. The penalty for failing to love Jesus and thy neighbor, which is evidenced by lawlessness, is disqualification for eternal heavenly citizenship. In...
