I agree with you. Abraham took it absolutely seriously, but there was a part of him who thought, hoped, that somehow God would change His mind, or if not, resurrect Isaac maybe, because Abraham told Isaac, KJV Genesis 22:8 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt...

Quote me one instance where anyone on this forum has suggested, even hinted at, any possibility of obedience to the law, any law or any part thereof, is a means of obtaining salvation. Just one.

No. You did not just provide a list of Bible verses. The intent of your posting was to convince me, or anyone else that was reading, that first... in other words, "existing" (whatever that means) under God's commandments is intimating that we shouldn't obey God's commandments, and that by doing...

This is what Jesus meant when He said we must abide in the vine. The source of nourishment and life comes to us through Christ...being intimately connected to Him...and His speaking to us through scripture...His word has creative power, He speaks, and it's done. All we are required to do is...

There is something we can contribute to God's work in us...and we do this by faith, believing God's word is quick and powerful. We have scripture. We are sanctified by truth...Thy word is Truth. We are conformed to the mind of Christ by making ourselves available to the Spirit of God to work in...

LOL, I don't know of such either, although such a practice, at least in symbolism, would not be beyond the scope of the imagination in occult circles. Which I believe much of what passes for the Catholic form of Christianity stems from. And yes, it would be creepy. Yet isn't much of the...

@Hidden Love these kind of discussions. Thanks for the invi...oh, nah. Never mind :(. Here's my two cents worth anyway. :) God, speaking through His Son on Sinai, revealed to Moses His name. Names in the OT tradition were a descriptor of character. Exodus 34:5 ¶ And the LORD descended in the...

One different type of baptism, from which sprinkling finds its genesis, was one in which adherents of Mithra participated among the Roman military in particular where it found its most numerous following. The man or woman would lie naked under a lattice work ceiling, upon which a bull would be...

The following, from Paul's epistle to the Romans, is the gospel. It is truth. Infant baptism and sprinkling completely obliterates this truth. Full immersion baptism is not a recent innovation and the meaning thereof not a "Protestant invention". It is wholly Biblical and was established by John...

Jesus said they were the same. Matthew 7:12 ¶ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord...

Hi my bro, @charity put it well in her last post. Even before the foundation of the world, we, that is the entire human race, was chosen to be be saved. This to my mind has nothing to do with predestination, as most people think of predestination. God did not have to save us. He could have left...

I agree with most of what you have said here. But you are still confused I think as to what and why God made the covenant in the first place. Do you know when and to whom the first covenant was made? And more importantly, do you know why?

There are several other of your points above I could take issue with, either in part or in whole, but I have no desire to bore everyone with interminable critical essays upon points of theology understood by children, and not used as defense mechanisms for disobeying and denying God's authority...

We don't have Walmart here in Australia or NZ. my only knowledge of walmart is from the crazy you tube videos of the weird people and crazy goings on that take place there. Seems like a magnet for idiocy.

I still remember some guy announcing whatever floor you were arriving at... Each floor being a different department... toys and children's wear... Boys and Menswear... Girls and Women's... Etc etc. Does that still happen anywhere? Was that someone's first job before becoming a radio newsreader?

There's only two things I miss from the "old days". One, the smell of fresh coffee beans in the local grocery store. There were about ten different bins with exotic names and they all had an individual aroma, (and when buying a bag for mum and dad of their favorite bean, my nose found itself...

The entire concept of baptism is destroyed by the baptising of infants. Baptism, at it's core, means a voluntary death at the hands of another. It is an open and public confession of faith in a previously made decision and voluntary belief in and acceptance of the gospel. This is the cross we...

First, I read a few of your comments on those scriptures and disagree with your conclusion as to what they are conveying. Example. Conflating the old covenant with 'law' is wrong. When God made a covenant with Noah and the animals after the flood, there was no law involved. The covenant was a...

Seriously? God found fault with His own law, which Paul said was holy, just, and good?

Would I be correct in assuming you haven't actually read any of her writings, and are relying on others opinions of her?
