Again, of course it's not for us to condemn anyone. But neither is it loving to let people perish in thinking their sins of any kind isn't going to lead them to perdition/destruction in the end? Part of the gospel message is........REPENT. Well, now I know where you are at sister, and I'm...

It's not for us to condemn anyone. It's the Lord who is Judge and who will condemn sinners in the end regardless of their type of sins. But the people who were listening to Jesus (the Word made flesh) already knew the written Law and what it instructed and condemned about sexuality.

Yes. But that isn't the only thing the penned word says. God's word also says it is by grace are ye saved through FAITH, and that not of your own that no one may boast. Faith in Who? We must not just take one truth and exclude all other truth about a matter....we need to embrace all truth...

And what is this liberty that we are not to use as a cloak or license to sin? It is being set free from the debt of sin.......as per the parable. Forgiveness is being set free from the bondage of sin...the debt of it. Whole counsel of God is needed with these things, not just one side of the...

We can't repent of what we don't realize we need to repent of, so this is why the Lord leads us through trials and testings (wilderness) to expose and bring us face to face with our sin nature. The dross rising to the surface to be skimmed off the silver.

We have been justified by faith but it's as we follow the Lord and grow that we begin to realize and be convicted that our sin problem goes deeper than we first realized....and further sanctification and a deeper repentance is therefore needed on our part, as I see it. If the Lord will grant...

Thank you and God bless you too. xo

Here's how I see this. Just doing my best, because I'm feeling ragged today. Remember scripture is speaking to the Jew FIRST, then the Gentile. The wilderness led the Israelites to the Law. Which was insufficient to bring them into the promised land of the gospel. So they "died" in the...

Of course. As you do know, but continue to pretend not to for some reason, that I don't believe or say otherwise. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Are you saying the atonement/propitiation is for the world and not for born again believers.....? Hope not, because that would be...

Self serving corruption and incompetence both rearing their ugly heads these days.

I dont' know the particulars of this case but it sure does seem generally as though evil is being treated as good and good is being treated as evil. Truth is thrown to the ground. God have mercy.

Paul knew of nothing against him. Selah. And let's think upon this one too: Rom 3:24-25 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission...

This is how many people err.....they're so either/or about so many things that are not a case of either/or. Rightly divided biblical doctrine teaches BOTH how we ought to live AS WELL AS what we are to believe/receive (by faith).

Amen.....that means the written word (bible) witnesses to the veracity of the Spirit. And the Spirit is likewise a witness to the veracity of the written word (bible) too.

Scripture is alive through the Spirit, but not without the Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit which gives life to the word/scriptures. Much like a body with a spirit is alive, but a body without the spirit is dead....likewise scripture without the Spirit is a dead letter. The spirit and the word...

Jesus said we must be born of water AND the spirit. That's talking about "the washing of the water of the word" AND the spirit. That is why it says Noah was saved by water. People are typically born again through the hearing/believing/receiving of the engrafted word that is being preached, as...

You are quite wrong....literally.

It's about BOTH ! We need the mind of Christ on this and other things.

Amen, exactly! Out of balance in so many places I think brother. We can be out of balance in either direction. Either neglect the Spirit or neglect Christ and His word, when we always need BOTH !!

You might notice and wonder why Epi doesn't hit "like" on most of your posts sister, before deciding you two are in much agreement. And be aware that he has teachings and ideas you might not be aware of yet. Of course we are born of the Spirit....nobody is disagreeing with that and I'm sure it...
