Yes, moral codes existed in the Pagan world. The basalt or diorite stele and this is not the only stele that had codes or stories. Some of the stories in the Old Testament occur outside of the Hebrew culture.

Christ's ministry occurred during the Old Covenant, so it would be correct for Him to obey them....within reason. He actually changed the Mosaic Law for the Jews in a couple ways....the life for a life and a tooth for tooth...He changed for them He changed the law on divorce for them. And a...

The label Ten Commandments were incorrectly given to ten of the 14 summery of laws. Yahweh Himself, called another set the ten commandments. And those He instructed Moses to write on the tablets. The New Testament will tell you not to murder or steal or commit adultery and what Christ taught...

Now you know that the book of Hebrews will prove this wrong...as far a Christians. And it is true Christ did not do away with the Law for Jews. They are not in the New Covenant, they are in the Old Covenant. And those laws...even though they are impossible to keep today...they still apply to...

Here ya go again...so soon you forget. See notes 1, 8, 10, and 11, It is a sad thing that we are even having this discussion....Such distain for being good and doing good and obeying Christ. If it is not anti-Christian, what would be? Can you imagine Christ and Apostles preaching this? Christ...

Be good and do good....why not? What is the alternative? You are not the only one that seems to be scared of this topic. I am not proposing perfection. We are all sinners. I am asking for an honest conversation. Give it a try.

Lets seriously get off the topic of Calvinism...that would help. We are sitting in a thread entitled "Why do you feel it is hard to be Good? So far you have given me that being good is not that advantageous. Why is it a problem being good? What taboo is hard to control? It is a good discussion.

Ya, didn't you know I am time traveler. I am planning on going back to his time and aborting him. Since they are all about sinning and getting forgiveness. Just kidding. The Calvinists I know personally are pretty moral. But I think like a lot of less the silly OSAS they believe if you are a...

Well I think I started using it first, but I could be wrong. It is kind of like HVLI...I coined on one the submarines I was on. HVLI High Velocity Lead Injection. John Calvin was a nut. And his religion is blasphemous, depicting God as a monstrous puppet master. Cool on the peace.

That is my phrase and it accurately describes this super grace stuff and OSAS. Describes it to a tee....once you put it in motion...sin all you want and rewarded with heaven. And after all that evil goes to heaven, it is not fit for God or good people. This is the Christian version of the Old...

Exactly! These documentaries sometimes forget what they are doing or if people are actually thinking. LOL Had one on TV about the American Cancer Society talking about donating for research to treat lung cancer. The lady said, If you think you are safe because you do not smoke, you should know...

Ya Paul had a time with Corinth. They made secular history. Commandments....There is no way to imagine it, but I think it would do some Christians some good to have to live under the 613 Mosaic Laws. Ya know, that is if they could avoid being stoned. They would learn a lot of things, the one...

It depend on where you are at as to how they handle it. And to be honest it has been a while since I have been involved with anything like that. So I do not know how they are handling it today.

It is just like a lot of things it is more complicated. A lot of women, you could not drag them away from these men. It is weird thing. Some of these women do not have anyone to take up for them. And some of these men, if they know they will be beat, will not harm the woman. If you are a woman...

LOL Marriage is death do you part. A man that abuses a woman....should be shot. End of problem. Carry on smartly.

God the Father, Yahweh God the Son, Yeshua The God called the Holy Spirit. unnamed. The one God formula skews the meaning of several scriptures. Separate minds Separate wills Separate thrones Separate authorities Separate places Christ says My Father which is in heaven or just My Father at least...

Your opinion is duly noted. The only one that is exalted is Christ. Each had their talents and gifts. There is nothing wrong with noting the facts. Many of the Apostles did wonderful things....but that is mostly outside the parameters of fundamentalism.

5deq LOL Paul's conversion in 34 AD, the rapture into the third heaven in 43, at the time of the famine during the reign of Claudius (Acts 11:28), when he was in a trance in Jerusalem (Acts 22:17). Who else can make this claim....well Peter had a vision. It appears that John got his...

Just not the first time it was spoken. And it was pointed directly at the Jews. And served as wisdom for the Christians.
