    Do People Still Need Weekly Rest?

    Sabbath keeping with all it's rules and regulations, was part of a covenant with Israel that is not binding on Christians in the New Testament. *Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day 17...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Amen! Romans 4:5 - But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works. To "impute" is in the sense of account...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having...

    The Decoy Gospel

    2 Corinthians 5:21 - For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. :) The real gospel is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the...

    Scripture only [1] -- The Christian Sabbath

    Hebrews 4:9 - So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. (NASB) *Notice that the Greek word "sabbatismos" here is used no where else in the Bible! W. E. Vine, Greek Dictionary points out: Sabbath rest (4520) (sabbatismos from sabbatízo = keep the Sabbath) literally means a...

    The context of John 3:5

    In regards to the word "water" in John 3:5, there are those who would argue that the natural sense of the passage parallels "water" with being born out of a mother’s womb (verse 4) and with "flesh" (verse 6). The first is a physical, literal, "flesh" birth (which is, of course, accompanied by...

    The Decoy Gospel

    I thought you placed me on ignore? I already do believe the gospel and as I already explained in post #72, the gospel is the “good news” of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Sin and win? More sinless perfection? Being a Saint doesn’t mean you will never stumble. It’s about the direction of our walk (not the perfection of our walk and I’m talking about absolute perfection) as we grow towards maturity in Christ. I see that you once again dodged my question, so I...

    The Decoy Gospel

    This is the mother of all of straw man arguments used by spiritual narcissists who view themselves as “holier than thou” and look down on others. Reminds me of the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14.

    Tithing Or 2 Corinthians chs 8 & 9 - which is right?

    Many churches teach that Christians are commanded to give a minimum of 10% of their income to their church. Others teach that preachers of these churches are turning the 10% tithe in the Old Testament, under the old covenant into a monetary, legalistic prescription for Christians under the new...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Amen brother and well said! It’s always so nice to see when others get it. :) Acts 20:28 - Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 I know that after my departure...

    The Decoy Gospel

    It’s a simple direct question. Do you believe that you are sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolutely perfect 100% of the time? YES or NO?

    The Decoy Gospel

    Do you believe you are sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolutely perfect 100% of the time? Straw man argument. Of course Jesus commands us to be holy as God is holy. Jesus cannot compromise His perfect, holy standard and that is the goal to strive for. Why should He lower the bar...

    The Decoy Gospel

    You are not fooling me or any of my brothers and sisters in Christ on the Christianity Board with your decoy gospel, but feel free to place me on ignore if you wish.

    The Decoy Gospel

    More straw man arguments and slander from a delusional, spiritual narcissist. Your faith is in your own, personal power trip and not in the gospel of Christ which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) Let me know when you are ready to repent and believe the...

    The Decoy Gospel

    You turn abiding in Christ into a special experience that only a few, elite Christians will experience and you can't seem to grasp that believers are sanctified/set apart/made holy before God positionally in Christ. You are on some kind of delusional power trip which reminds me of people in cults.

    The Decoy Gospel

    Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. As I already explained, those who have been justified by faith are also sanctified/set apart/made holy before God positionally in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:11 - Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were...
