If you are hurt, then that is when you need to forgive before you continue any further. Brush the dust off your feet and move on. You are not going to get a true apology, because it is not in his nature.

I don't commit willful sin, so why should I listen to some demon in a preacher's costume tell me it is okay to sin, so eat, drink and be merry! I prefer a clear conscience, and God is pleased with that. 1 John 3:21-24

Jesus has made the New Covenant so easy. What I do is never do anything against my conscience where through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God's laws are written. I also make sure I am not holding any unforgiveness against anyone who has hurt me. That way with a clear conscience I have...

Jesus' doctrine of sinless perfection is with Him inside of us. What 1 John 1:8 is addressing is someone BEFORE coming to Christ who does NOT have Jesus inside them. So if they say they don't sin, they are a liar. Their sin has not been taken away by the only source of that cleansing, the blood...

Okay, again I'm going to the horse's mouth. Do you believe a Trinitarian can be saved? I'm not sure I'm reading your words correctly.

We have to forgive our brethren their trespasses against us, in order for our own unknown trespasses to be forgiven us. Matthew 6:14-15 Notice in 1 John 1:7 a person walking in the Spirit, having full fellowship with brethren. How? Because we forgive each other and the blood of Jesus...

How many times must you repent before you are dead to sin? Romans 6:1-2 How many times must you repent before you are cleansed of all sin? 1 John 1:9 How many times must you repent before you are filled with the powerful sinless Holy Spirit and no longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Romans...

Did it sound to you like I was making assumptions, or first going to the horses mouth?

Yes, Paul was no longer a sinner. That was his past, as a few verses before say "former"

@charity and @Nancy talk to you gals later.

Seeing as I doubt Barnabas killed Paul, I believe one person wrote Hebrews. LOL But similarities should be found in Hebrews even if written solely by Barnabas, as they were preaching together for years. Also, you can see Paul's character in his writings, and I doubt very, very much he would...

Whatever the reason, it was a shame that it wasn't, because if it were part of the New Testament, making the total number exactly divisible by 7, we also wouldn't have so many debates over the issue of the Sabbath on the forums.

There were a number of "lists of candidates" submitted for review. And the Epistle of Barnabas was on 6 of those lists. Maybe they didn't choose Barnabas because he wasn't a relative of Jesus, nor appointed directly by Jesus to be an apostle as were the 11 and Paul.

Yes, but it Exactly, and that is precisely why I don't think it was Paul. In many of Paul's letters (5) he spoke of justification by faith, whereas in Hebrews faith is discussed fully, but never justification, justified, justify. Paul and Barnabas taught together, so the absence of...

I see Paul writing to Gentiles also who knew the law, as well as Christian Jews. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

Then you are clear in your writing. I just wanted to make sure as most Christians believe Jesus is God. Do you belong to a particular denomination or group that believes as you do, or have you come to this conclusion on your own?

You say move over Paul, there is a new chief of sinners in town. Let's see if you are fibbing. Do you do any of these: Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath...

Hey, girl, that was fast. You must be on your computer. I haven't even had my coffee yet. (I go to bed and can't sleep for hours while I read until I get sleepy, thus my clock is off and I get up late.) Well, Paul always signed his work. The writers of Hebrews and the Epistle of Barnabas...

Could it be that it would be YOU who would call Jesus' doctrine of sinless perfection, demonic???

I think the author of Hebrews was Barnabas. ;)
