Episkopos, I agree with this: "The law is not meant to be a means to attain anything." But this "...it is a standard which can only be fulfilled when we are empowered by Christ to do so" not so much. First of all, the Mosaic Law was only to the Jew and it's intention was to reveal to them that...

Veteran, the distiction of the phrase "the law" as in Moses Law and "the law" as in the moral laws of God outside the Mosaic ordinances must be maintained. 1Tim.1 you quoted above is to be understood not of the ceremonial law, which was now disannulled but of the leagal systems of man, which...

Hi Pillip and God bless! What the writer meant by this, "because why would He have to die if He fulfilled the Law", is that Christ's death wasn't related to the Law, because since He fulfilled it, the Law didn't require His death. His death was only related to the demand of the Father, for a...

Vicarious Law-Keeping? -mjs This article addresses the concept that Christ's earthly obedience of perfection fulfilled the Law for the Jew and hence, eliminated the guilt of the Law to the Jews. This is a false concept because His perfect obedience was so He could be the perfect sin sacrafice...

Eph 4:4-6, 1Jhn 5:7 (only in KJV, NKJV)

LAW OF LIFE "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). We need not submit to the law, nor do we need to struggle against it. It is now a matter of our standing on heavenly ground in our risen Lord, free from the influence and demands of the entire...

We should agree on the essentials (i.e., doctrine of salvation) and can lovingly dissagree on the non-essentials (i.e., dispensatioanlaism, predestination, etc). The essentials are a must for salvation and the non-essentials are for growth in salvation. "Therefore leaving the principles of the...

The Apostles will judge (teach) Israel (Mat 19:28) and the rest of the saints will judge (teach) the world. (1Cr 6:2).

Not that Paul had more revelation of Christ but of His Body, the Church and Bride (Eph 5:32). Jesus only mentioned His church to the Apostles (Mat 16:18) but waited to use Paul to teach it. It's founded, ofcourse, on the Gospel of Christ, which is salvation by Him only, which they all learned...

The difference with Paul is that the Lord appeared to him only (Acts 9:3-6) and began using him first (v 6--"it shall be told thee what thou must do") to reveal "the other sheep" (Jhn 10:16)--the Body or Church of Christ, and he taught Christ's Gospel.. Jesus mentioned it when He was talking to...

The Lord Jesus, as Israel's Messiah in His pre-Cross humiliation, "went about all Galilee, teaching in their [Israel's] synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom" (Matthew 4:23). It was at this time that He sat upon the mountainside and taught His disciples the Sermon on the Mount...

There are scriptures which are essential to the doctrine of salvation and others which aren't. The scriptures which are non-essential for salvation are essential for growth in Christ's image and neighborly love is the prime essential evidence of it all. Our primary goal should be neighborly...

We need to present Scriptures that support the concept that Christian Gentiles represent a "spiritual Israel" because I think all the mistaken knowledge concerning Israel and the Gentiles are premised on it. I will shortly be posting the Scriptures I believe are the ones being misinterpreted...

". . .To declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God' (Rom 3:25). God's passing by, or overlooking sin, and not punishing for it, under the former dispensation--Law; present dispensation--Grace. By "sins that are past," are meant, not sins...

I apologyze for reposting this section but wanted to zero in on it. THE EVERLASTING COVENANT -- The Everlasting Covenant of Hebrews 13:20,21 was ratified in eternity past between the Father and the Son, and was fulfilled at the resurrection of Christ. The Everlasting Covenant is neither between...

4-13. DUAL RECKONING "For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9). "Reckoning" on the work of the Cross is the only relief from the carnal burden of self. Then comes the spiritual burden of Christ--to be more like Him. "Reckoning" is the answer there, too...

We are guilty if we sin willfully or deliberately, esp. without remorse or repentance. This is the state of the lost. The Christian's sins should never be deliberate and without remorse and repentance. The remorse and repentance shows it's not deliberste. But even this isn't why were not...

The New Testament or Covenent Jesus initiated in Mat 26:28 is for whosoever will come, but is not the New Covenent of Israel in Ezek 36:27. The Apostles and many Jews and Gentiles came to belief in Christ through this blood Covenent, which now could only be possible through the Spirit. Nobody...

Episkopos, I appreciate your wanting to offset what you believe is misleading by providing what you believe to be truth but the issue is: Does the material look intentionaly misleading and does the writer look like he's trying to deceive others? My intentions, nor the writers I post have no...
