Barney, I just want to share one teaching about our "dual nature", a fundamental spiritual construct that you disagree with. It's considered advanced theology, not all Christians understand it and he even states this paradox is beyond getting a handle on. Have you heard of Charles Spurgeon. Get...

Well, I guess I was exaggerating. But you mentioned it more than twice (post #7, 8, 28, 39). That's fine, it is the topic. Well, don't have anything else. MERRY Christmas.

Barney, you've asking everyone like a broken record, "Does 'Go and sin no more' have creative power?" You don't seem to like anyone's answer, so you keep asking. How about this: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing...

I dont have patience like Andy to spoon feed. MERRY CHRISTMAS and maybe specifically pray for the Holy Spirit for discernment.

I was just referring to the use of the Lord's Prayer. Catholics will recite it over and over in repetition as if that is magnifying their communication to God. I'm suspect you don't do that. Many verses stand on their own on fullness of meaning, otherwise we could not quote them. With all...

That is correct ... Andy will be proud of you for that one - I can see him smiling.

Barney never gets anything in depth ... Andy is always shaking his head.

Interesting that you would claim that. Our accountability befire our salvation was completely absent. After we are saved, we willingly got off our thrones and out Christ up there as Lord and so we were totally accountable. It was and impossible to confess every sin in your life as it would be...

Well, it's understandable, many believe they are saved by faith plus works. Catholics are half the Christian population and even a portion of Protestant Churches teach legalism. Many struggle with the concept OSAS. I grew in a church that taught once you are born again, you have been saved and...

Haven't ships navigated by the stars before there were compasses? In land it would be easier for sure. Look at any star, draw a line down to earth to a location. Could be a hill or something. But the star was not a star, it was either an angel or a planet that moved to a location and the wise...

What? Are you kidding me? I was creating a hypothetical situation. I' ve been retired for 5 years. Wow, lol.

If we've only been forgiven for past sins, then we would have to ask forgiveness for every single sin, every moment of everyday; and we would be in fear of losing our salvation, that we might have missed a sin, or that if we died suddenly we wouldn't have the chance of that last request before...

Who was Jesus talking to when He said that and were they not _ at that time _ under the Law? The adulterous woman was caught. I am sure she never committed adultery again. Even under the Law, one could not expect anyone not to sin. He pointed out that they were all sinners. Therefore it is the...

Our soul consists of our mind, emotions, will and also our physical body, which all ate referred to as our flesh. Our spirit is distinctly separate in a special compartment within our souls. This compartment is empty, dead, void, when we are born. When we receive Christ, God brings that part of...

Mary is praising the Lord. KJV says magnify, other versions say exalt. We sing to the Lord in Church the same way with soul and spirit to glorify Him as a humble servant would. Like (Ps 34:3; 69:30), from Luke 1:46-55, scholars call this Mary's Song.

"For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive...

God is Spirit, invisible. God came down from heaven, emptied Himself and became flesh. Mary was mother to that flesh, but not Jesus' spirit. Mary is not mother to God. Jesus is the God/man, so in essence, as a child, boy and a man, Mary was his earthly (in the flesh) mother and that's all. The...

"Blessed" just means happy and all good things come from God. She was a happy, thankful, gracious person among women. She was certainly special and when she conceived, she was full of grace (unmerited favor). She was chosen out of all women in Israel. Her lineage went back to David, but even her...

Judging by these comments it appears you do not know what Replacement Theology is. I wasn't using it, you were. I was describing YOUR VIEW as Replacement Theology, which very simply is that the Church replaced Israel, that the Church is Israel. According to Romans 11, God is not done with...

This is Replacement theology and I don't agree with it. Spiritually, "there is now neither Jew nor Greek, male or female ..." Does that mean on earth on our phhsical realm, there arent any women? Im married to one. I think there still are Greeks too.
