Okay. This is where the real bottom line meaning of covenant comes into play. Relational integrity. If the Christian has an ongoing growing and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and he slips up in ignorance, or a one off demonstration of weakness, and turns to Jesus for forgiveness and the...

I believe I covered that somewhat here. The problem I am having in this thread is trying to find some form of consensus concerning what laws are being referred to by Paul, how many are there, and what in actuality is a covenant? No-one is in agreement with anyone else on anything, which leads me...

What you have illustrated is true of the laws pertaining to the sanctuary... But does not work when applied to the Ten Commandments. Transgressing the ten commandments is sin. Every time. All the time. And sin is transgression against those Commandments. It is also unbelief. It is also omission...

Okay, that's clearer. We read in the NT that the law was never for a righteous man. It was for sinners. Thieves, murderers, adulterers, covetous, etc etc. Which is why Paul was so torn in Romans 7, recognizing the righteous demands of the law of God being holy and perfect, but also recognizing...

For me there are two types of prophecy...conditional and apocalyptic. The conditional was that such as the prophets spoke to their kings, people, and nations regarding their need of repentance, and the inevitable results that would accrue if they refused. Two different outcomes were always on...

Huh?

A law died, but it couldn't have been the law concerning adultery because that law must also apply to the relationship with the new husband right?

As you may have been aware, we were in a total lockdown here in Victoria with a maximum travel limit of 5ks. And then only for very limited reasons, and a written permit from employers if your travel involved work outside that 5ks. My wife and I decided half way through that missing our...

I think we need to realize that none of this was David's idea. Those near and dear to him were seeking his welfare by finding a beautiful woman (out of respect for his position) who would genuinely cherish him and love him for who he was. Abishag was true to her calling at this time. It's...

Yes, it was intended to be harsh. We are living on the cusp of eternity, and people are asleep, content in their own bubbles and only wanting to defend their current erroneous positions rather than seek truth and clearer understanding of prophetic realities. The last 2000 years, in which the...

As I peruse through those texts you have quoted. I see no evidence that "the old testament law" died according to the first 4 verses above. It is me who died according to those verses, which then freed from the law which did not die. In the next 3 verses Paul speaks of ordinances which "were...

So let me understand you correctly. Romans 7 as I showed previously, reveals 3 laws. The law of God which wars against the law of sin, and the law of the spirit of life which frees us from bondage to sin. It seems you are saying, and I am open to being corrected, that it is the law of God given...

Preterist and dispensationalist miss the boat altogether. Both treat the last 2000 odd years of history as an inconsequential blip on the prophetic radar. As if God could only read the very immediate future and the very end. Everything in between was off no consequence, just a few million...

People forget that prophecy is to be understood after the event.. Not before. "I have told you these things before, that when they come to pass you shall know that I am He".

Hey @Don Mills . Are there any trees around where you live? I haven't tried it myself, but I hear the trees are very much encouraged by a little cuddle from time to time. I don't know if it's mutual. I'm with @Hidden In Him on this one. I would be way too acutely aware of every single contact...

How about something in Latin, Hebrew and Greek?

I think you fellas need to consider the following. First, I suggest that the mark itself is a sign of voluntary allegiance to the beast. Thus if one receives it in his forehead, it is a conscientious decision and he has agreed with the beast as far as mindset, worldview, doctrine, etc is...

I shall leave this for everyone for your consideration... 3 Spiritual laws that govern life. “For I delight in Law One: ……….The law of God. after the inward man”…..(Romans 7:22) Paul has nothing but love and respect for God’s law. He considers it ‘holy, just and good’. (Rom.7:12) It is Paul’s...

But we know there's no contradiction and so the question remains.

Please read again the following.... Please note. We have sin. Well before Sinai, as you say, Sodom, the flood, all testified of sin that was most definitely imputed against them, therefore there must have been a law and their transgressions defied that law. They were punished accordingly. But...
