It came out of the Reformation.

Did you see that the spreading of the gospel was in stages? First Israel, then Samaritans, then the rest of the world? Matthew 10:5 [ Sending Out the Twelve ] These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.

I can agree to that when you are not excusing sin, but can you see my point and how total disregard to any laws are false doctrines out there that turn the grace of God into lasciviousness?

Sorry Hark, but the gospel was first and foremost for the fall or rise of Israel, which is why he shunned the Gentile woman. And after Israel it went to the Samaritans through the deacon, Phillip. It wasn't to go to the Gentiles until later. Cornelius was the first Gentile convert, by Peter...

What about His command to love our enemy? Are they our associate/brethren?

What Romans 7 is about is someone trying to keep the Ten Commandments IN THEIR OWN STRENGTH only, like the Jews did before Christ came. The Spirit is what makes the New Covenant far superior to the Old Covenant (without the Spirit). The Spirit makes you not only keep the Ten Commandments, but...

I hope I know what you are trying to say, but on the other hand you miss the point entirely, because you can take your statement to the extreme as many actually do and do exactly what Paul spoke against in Romans 6:1-2 and Romans 6:15. Don't you know that "do not murder" is one of the does and...

It is all predicated on being born again. In fact, Jesus said, "You MUST be born again. The only way to keep the holy requirements of God's laws is by the indwelling divine nature of God. You MUST stay in the Spirit. Without being a new creation, our old flesh will want to indulge in fulfilling...

Is the Ten Commandments the law of sin and death of Romans 8:2? And are the Ten Commandments the ministry of death of 2 Corinthians 3:7?

What is Roman law? Civic law of Rome?

But what "law"? The law of sin and death? Or the law of the Spirit of life in Christ? Romans 8:2

But it is true that the fruit of the Spirit doesn't break any laws either, doesn't it. So you are both right.

EVERYONE has sin in them without Christ. THAT is what 1 John 1:8 means. Vs. 9 says, but if you confess your sin, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive you of your sin, and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Verse 10 is the same, with someone saying they were born without sin, therefore have...

Hi Hark, you didn't answer this in your email, so what are the points derived from this passage: Study Romans 8:1-9 and tell me what you see. 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For...

No, of course not. You can't. When you realize you can't, but know sin can't enter heaven, that is when you cry out to Jesus knowing He is stronger than you, and you need His power in you, that He frees you from your old sin nature, and gives You His own Spirit. Romans 8:9. It is only by being...

Hark, what do you know about the Spirit? Why were we given the Spirit of Christ to dwell inside us? Study Romans 8:1-9 and tell me what you see. 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For...

What does Romans 3:31 mean to you? And Romans 6:1-2 And Romans 6:15 And 1 John 3 (the whole chapter!) Why was it possible for God to take away the Law? The Law showed us our sin. Guess what? The gospel is that Jesus was manifest to take away our SIN, and in Him there is no sin. Instead of...

I see you remembered my analogy about the lion and the lamb. ;)

I see you remembered my analogy about the lion and the lamb. ;)

Why did Paul say in Romans 3:31 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. How do we establish the law? By being wicked? What does it mean to you to have faith in Christ? If you read the whole 8-chapter teaching on the LAW, you will...
