theefaith, why are you peddling Mary again to worship in a post about being dead to the Law?

I was hoping someone would mention this promise of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). The OP left it that because Christ kept the law perfectly, that we are under no laws whatsoever as long as we trust in Jesus. Wrong. The old flesh is contrary to the written laws. Jesus made us to be born...

For me it was 30 years. LOL Sorry, I haven't been following the train of thought, but if it is about being drawn by the Father to Christ, that is what I meant.

Charlie is not a good example because only one person could be saved, and only if he had a seat in a lifeboat to offer to another.

You do know that Romans 7:18 is before Christ and those under the law don't you? But Romans 8:2 tells us that the SPIRIT frees us from sin of the flesh. And Romans 8:9 tells us that we are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit. People are either in the flesh or in the Spirit, carnal or spiritual...

There is always a condition to God's promises. In this case it is "whosoever believes in Him." Universalists believe in a form of purgatory, where there is still hope to believe after death. Mormons are baptized for the dead, doing something similar, making the non-Mormons who have died...

You need to know what John means in this chapter, not your own reasoning. Otherwise, you will carnally reason away all the truths in Scripture. If you keep telling yourself you have darkness in you (vs. 6) but are still saved you'll fall prey to the false doctrine that now rules the Church...

Did you ever figure out why 1 John 1:8 doesn't have to be a born again Christian, just because the teacher is? Especially since Christ frees us from sin? When you figure out that verse 6 is a person without the light of God in them and not a Christian, then you will not be trapped in the tunnel...

It looks to me like only people that had a job last year get the stimulus checks. I don't know about welfare people who still get their checks. I get it because I had a job for two weeks, and filed a tax return. The 3 stimulus checks are more than my entire income for 2 weeks. That must have...

Who is Calvinist? You or Tong?

Hi BF

Wasn't it about the "elect." I'd have to go back and check, but I think it was. I guess you don't want to "discuss" so bye.

What did he mean? Who is the troller?

No, you missed a key part. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that...

No, because if the Holy Spirit is pointing out sin in your life, then you DO have truth in you - the Spirit of Truth. But this person has not confessed their sin and been filled with the Holy Spirit. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. Also...

1 John 1 has the writing style of contrasts. That is why verse 8 and 10, thought almost saying the same thing, is separated by verse 9, even though verse 9 would also apply to verse 10. I'm sure you've seen this before. I've posted it so many times I can't see how you could have missed it. You...

@justbyfaith I added some, so go back and read the edited version.

I think I already shared my testimony with you of the night I went from no control over my sin, to no more desire to sin. It was so dramatic, that I could not deny it. I was completely aware that the desire was gone. That is when I was born again. Freedom from sin is freedom from the desire to...

@brightfame52 I'll comment on this from #330. Remember, He gave Himself for us [The elect] in order that He would deliver us from this present evil world according to Gods will Gal 1:4-5 4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the...

Love to. First read #340 so we know what each other already believes. Okay?
