    QUESTION ~ Say, there IS a LAW... Gods LAW....or CIVIL man made LAW. BUT THERE IS ... NO CONSEQUENCE FOR VIOLATING the LAW. WHAT is the POINT, VALUE, or FORCE and EFFECT of the LAW? Wouldn't the Force and EFFECT, be VOID ? Some men WERE NOT UNDER the LAW of Moses. Thus WHAT was their SIN...

    Hitler is often used as an example.... Hitler claimed to be a Catholic. Just as some claim to be Protestants, or simply Christians. Claiming a Religious Denomination IS NOT the Requirement for one to "BECOME" subject TO CHRIST. "THAT" is a personal declaration of the man TO Christ. "I HAVE...

    Disagree. In regard to a NATURAL MAN....yes ... absolutely. In regard to a CONVERTED MAN...no... A Converted man "IS" "COVERED" with the "LIGHT" of God, which OVERCOMES "darkness", which darkness IS the result of SIN.....and LIGHT IS the result of OVERCOMING Darkness. God Bless, Taken

    I don't believe I am the first, nor did I say so. However I do believe, many challenge their own Trust In the Lord. And I believe that hinges on "lack of understanding". For example, being discussed presently is LOVE. I would say the majority of men believe LOVE means some gushy "feeling"...

    "THE LAW", should have been understood, being "the OT LAW". Hebrews were initially MADE "SUBJECT TO" the LAW, "by" their Choice, agreeing to BE "SUBJECT TO" the LAW. EX 19:8 And all of the people answered together, and said, Will that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the...

    Luke 17 : 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him: and if he repent, forgive him. KJV Geneva Your advice is to spend my time considering what does not apply to me? My understanding is to know what applies to me, consider that, and spend my time serving the...

    No, I am not disagreeing with myself. I understand differently than you. Hebrews / Jews are taught....IF they are under the Law, violations of the Law IS SIN. And yes Hebrews / Jews Under the Law DO FORGIVE one man to another man of Violation of the Law. So yes, effectively, Under the Law, men...

    Your language references nothing I have said, so not sure your point. What do you mean "regardless of what I believe"? Where did I say anything to the contrary of forgive and you will be forgiven? Huh? Ok, gotcha ... your point. You are saying this Scripture teaches you men were given...

    Remember the Written word of God was not divided into Books, Chapters, Verses, with punctuations, until much later. Scripture was simply written by scribes, then transferred to scrolls. It was later for the ease of reading scrolls were transcribed into smaller books, and later divided by...

    No problem.. If you are under the Law, then sure, you can maintain a sinful nature and continue to sin, and repeatedly ask for forgiveness. That also does not apply to Jews WHO, were under the Law, and THEN subjected themselves to Christ. Their Laws were not destroyed. Their Laws were...

    Matt 6:12 Not sure why you think Understanding Scripture is easily demonstrated. I was never taught to Believe IN MEN. But I was taught that to NOT BELIEVE IN GOD is A SIN, and only God forgives Sin. God Bless, Taken

    It doesn't matter to me if you think the whole of scripture applies to you. However the whole of scripture does not apply to me.... The Scripture that does not apply to me, I have no need to consider in regard to me. No. 1 John 1:1... I have not seen Jesus... But other men did. 1 John 1:8...

    Confess your sins to one another.... If you are a Jew and confess you have violated a law, that affects "another"....whom should you confess TO? The man WHOM you sinned AGAINST? And further followed by an asking of forgiveness AND reparations for the harm you have caused to the Other? Sin...

    Uh, I would say no. One can teach another The Lord CAN forgiven their Sin against God. One can inform another The Lord HAS forgiven their Sin. But I do not believe a man CAN FORGIVE Sin Against God, "FOR" another man. God Bless, Taken

    Correct... God forgives men the Transgressions of Sins. Men forgive men the Transgression of Trespasses. IF a man forgives a man of Trespasses, so also will the Lord forgiven men of "their" Tresspasses. God Bless, Taken

    Determining Which Scirptures apply to whom is Paramount. OT men WERE subject "TO" the Law. Routinely they Asked God for Forgiveness for Violating the Law. Routinely they Asked other men for Forgiveness for Violating the Law, that caused a Trespass Against another man. Any Violation of the LAW...
