It's not complicated or confusing, so we shouldn't complicate and confuse it........ "without law" in both 1 Cor 9 and the Rom 2 passages is referring to unbelieving Gentiles who have neither the law of Christ nor the old covenant Law......"the law" in both passages is referring to Jews under...

I'll have to come back to that, Lord willing.

Our security is in Christ...as long as we remain in Him. By an "act of our will"....? Not really...the enemy is more subtle than that, and falling away happens gradually....like the frog in the pot of water that is slowly heating up.

Haven't seen it, but what about this: Act 17:30-31 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given...

I dont know but it comes to mind that Jerusalem is called Egypt. Could it be talking allegorically here about Israel? And moreover it might be a prophecy of being gathered to the promised land of the gospel. Because when the OT speaks and prophecies of gathering Israel in other places, that...

Amen...that is a deep subject with more than one facet...alludes to the Law......through the Law came the KNOWLEDGE of sin (evil). But I'm talking about knowing good and evil in the sense of God having two sides to His nature. Knowing evil in the sense of being capable of justlyl sending evil...

Looks to me that God also exercises wisdom in choosing to exercise either His goodness or His severity. Because obviously what happened in the end? The angel of death....judgment/wrath/severity. Only those who took shelter under the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts escaped judgment when...

God through Moses gave them many opportunities to obey Him. Each time when they didn't, discipline ensued, for their good if only they would have learned by it. Finally God's goodness and longsuffering came to an end, because His will wasn't going to be thwarted forever. The wrath of God is...

Science can't measure or observe or take into account what is going on in the spiritual realm. It can only measure and observe effects of spiritual activity on the natural realm. Homosexuality is first and foremost a spiritual problem, like all sins.

(sorry, had to delete some of your post that I was quoting, a limit of 1000 characters to allow me to answer). The simplicity of Christ on the matter of confessing our sins I believe is simply what the scripture says: "confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be...

Well, those verses together let us know that the Lord has mercy on who He has mercy, and on others He doesn't. Getting into it a little further, understanding that I have is like this: scripture says we are elect according to His foreknowledge. So it seems His sovereignty over these things...

We need to be careful of that word "all". It is sometimes only "all" within a limited context, as someone so rightly put it recently. But Jesus did die for all people, just that as we know not every individual will accept His salvation (which only comes through accepting and receiving HIM). I...

No I haven't read the Didache....haven't really read much apart from the bible to be honest. The Sabbath (Saturday) is the 7th day (rest), and the following day is the day Jesus rose from the dead, which is actually the eighth day which is foreshadowed in the Law (a new day - a newly created...

I was talking about there being no contradictions in the truths of scripture. Yes, I agree there certainly are a lot of contradicting doctrines of man out there. I believe the scriptures that we have are genuinely inspired by God, even if flavoured a little bit by the individuality of the...

I wasn't claiming anything for myself. Just saying that the truth reconciles and harmonizes the whole counsel of God, without contradictions. But it's by faith and the Spirit isn't it....the same way we RECEIVED Jesus. There is a difference between the flesh (carnal mind) and Spirit (mind of...

A right understanding RECONCILES all the scriptures by the Holy Spirit. And rightly dividing the word of truth involves the Holy Spirit.....not the carnal mind which is at enmity against God and the truth. Eyes to see, ears to hear, and rightly divided understanding is by the Holy Spirit, not...

No disagreement here with this post, but you were earlier seeming to agree with Steven's idea that fallen man will no longer be fallen after death and therefore everyone will receive eternal life.

Rom 14 is particularly talking about Christ being Lord of those who died in faith. But also, certainly Jesus Christ has been given all authority (Lordship) over everyone and everything regardless. Confessing Jesus as Lord being by the Holy Spirit doesn't necessarily mean they have RECEIVED the...

In fewer words, what I'm trying to say is that salvation must be by faith, not merely by sight. Faith necessarily involves receiving/having the Spirit of Christ/God, without which one isn't saved. We don't consider that the devil and fallen angels have the Holy Spirit do we, even though they...

Thank you , this is good teaching here in my opinion - makes sense. Good news for those OT saints who had died in faith.......but not so good news for the fallen angels who had just been defeated and dethroned by that gospel. Amen, and judgment begins with God's house, in the sufferings we...
