It was different in that it was not couched in 'Law' as in, do this, don't do that. God desires worship from the heart as defined in his statement to the woman at the well in John 4, specifically vs 23. It is that way in heaven. Love never coerces in any form. Law is relative to the situation...

Delivered to Moses to and for man. A concession as was eye for an eye, tooth for tooth....as was divorce. What it is not is a treatise on how God must operate or how he operates. Understanding context does not constitute rewriting scripture.....rather it clarifies matters particularly when Jesus...

Ezekiel 28:12-19 I deduct from this reply you sympathise with the JW position? is this correct? ......and may I add....what is impossible for man is possible for God....Luke 18:27 God's statement to Adam and Eve 'the day you eat thereof you will surely die' is a statement of consequence as...

It pivots on the way (how) atonement and payment are seen AJ....please hear me out. None of the progeny of Adam had any say in the inherited, shall I call it, deficits. They had no say on being born on this planet; they were given a hand they did not ask for; death being their final lot.....none...

I think there is another way of seeing it apart from the blood/payment narrative. A way that vindicates God most beautifully.

No doubt he believed otherwise he wouldn't have motivated his friends to cut through the roof. I'd say the bloke was like a dog with a bone :)

:) I do my dear. Even the qualities you have listed below are evidence that a rebirth is in process and has taken place.

Unless you've seen it how could you possibly know? Are you going to rely on the judgement of others?....not a very safe way of drawing conclusions!

Do you think there could be another way of looking at it/seeing it?

and who does the rebirthing?

Here's something I find interesting; Jesus forgave the paralytic without requiring anything.....he did it in other situations also like the thief beside him and the woman caught in adultery.....no sacrifice, no repentance, no confession, no baptism, no anything.....he just forgave and to...

God does not change. Have you forgotten who it is that is 'the same yesterday, today and tomorrow' God is the same today as he was when he created Adam....he is the life giver, not the life taker. We know who the life taker is from Jesus' own lips. and have you forgotten who said 'I have come...

God said he would drive the inhabitants out with hornets but the people wanted to fight...they wanted blood...that was their program after being under the rule of Pharaoh for 400 yrs.....however, God gave them a concession. God gave many concessions one of those being divorce. Do we now use...

Murder is the killing of human beings. I don't find it necessary to juggle words to justify not loving. If we want to use the general OT view of seeing and doing we are effectually trumping how Jesus saw and did. My question is how is it that God authorised murder in OT times.....or, is it valid...

The final week has come and gone. From God's perspective in Jesus he has finished the transgression and made an end to sins. Romans 5:12-21 is clear. Paul here has repeated himself half a dozen times to make this point. In Adam all were lost, in Jesus all have been reconciled ie, the whole...

What does the Lord require of you! To trust his judgement of you!

I treat you with my posts even though some here would rather a roast pork joint or a popular narrative :)

At Jesus crucifixion Satan was unmasked. His real intent displayed for the whole created Universe to see. Access to heaven permanently curtailed.

I pray you will retain your peace My Dreams!

I see your recourse is to make it personal!
