I'm not sure exactly which part of what I said you've never heard. Let me know and I then I can better answer your questions. If that is true, then Paul served the law of the spirit in the past, before he had the spirit. That can't be right. Yes, verse 5 is in the past, at which time Paul had...

Why not mention the parts of the law that talk about temple, priests, and sacrifices? Those are as much a part of the law as not coveting, bearing false witness, etc. By what authority do we determine which parts of the law apply and which don't apply if we need to follow the law to remain in...

What is the "panda thing?" Sounds interesting.

You can behave any way you like. But if you really love God you will behave like His son. Obviously the latter is better, but either way you are still His son. You can't "un-son" yourself from your earthly father, nor your heavenly Father. A son is a son regardless of their behavior. You can't...

You said it yourself..."Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

I think he was pointing out the second phrase, "whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption." As you say, we ought not to grieve that holy spirit which made us sealed. But there's nothing in that verse that says we will become unsealed if we do grieve the spirit. We ought not to grieve...

Technically, given that we all see through a dark glass, nobody has the full understanding. Nonetheless, I understand that which I'm confident God has revealed to me. Is it perfect understand? No. It is what it is. Anybody taking a different position on the matter is not being honest with...

God inspired Paul to write the things he wrote after the day of Pentecost. Would you deny that Pentecost changed things? So, although we can learn from the OT and the gospels, the letters of Paul give the specific marching orders for the Christian church, and they are radically different than...

You'd have to read more of the thread between God'sGrace and myself to get a better understanding of the conversation.

The scriptures.

The things Paul said are not scriptural? BTW, addressing someone as "you people" is hardly charitable.

There's a bit more to it. But I will say it never actually says, "Gentiles were going to become part of God's people."

Doesn't matter what I think about. The question is what did God think about it. Somebody might.

All nations will be blessed when Jesus returns. There are many places in the prophets and in Revelation that explain that. I understand how this must all be rather unsettling (for want of a better word). At one time I thought exactly like you. I believed the long standing tradition. One day...

Man's tradition. Here's what scripture says: Jer 31:31-34, 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the...

A slight misrepresentation there. I think I was clear that I couldn't argue with scripture. In other words, I agreed with the guy's post which was simply a few verses. I'm not sure of what you are accusing me there.

At one time a was a lousy son to my earthly father. I was still his son though. Christians ought to endevour to obay God out of love, not obligation. Love for our heavenly Father and Jesus grows as we continue to learn just what they've both done for us. The more that love grows, the more we...

Those are all good verses...for Jews at the time Jesus spoke those words. Matt 15:24, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Jesus spoke to the Jews while law was still in effect. Things took a radical turn on the day of Pentecost. Rom 10:9...

There are just a few basic things I've said all along. Matt 15:24, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Rom 15:4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the...

Jer 31:31, Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: I'm very aware of the tradition, but verse says nothing about a new covenant with Gentiles. The question becomes; truth or tradition? I just decided to throw...
