Oh sure, but just don't ignore all the rest of the new testament scriptures while you're at it. Whole counsel of God. Ignore all the rest of God's inspired word to your peril and everyone you lead astray.

Thought I had already answered that question recently...? The law is part of God's word and scripture itself tells us that it is profitable for a number of things. For instruction in righteousness. And for reproof, for correction, for rebuke. We are to bring our thoughts captive to the...

IF we remain in Him; IF we continue in the faith; IF we endure to the end. IF, IF, IF...notice there are quite a few "if's" in scripture that we need to take into consideration with the promises. I don't think you understood the point I was trying to make regarding eternal life, but then again...

Nail on the head brother. I wish that more people would just sit and read the scrips prayerfully and ASK the Lord to help them understand and then WAIT for Him to do it. If any lacks wisdom ASK for it and God will give it......and BELIEVE that you will receive what you ask for, with no wavering.

The point of eternal life is not just that it never ends, the point is that it is heavenly/spiritual....it is not the earthly realm. We have been translated into another kingdom/realm. But that doesn't necessarily follow that we can never leave it or lose it. People are reading into some...

I haven't been able to up with this whole thread, but I'd like to make a couple of comments. Certainly agree that we need to just obey, and maybe not worry overmuch about how we do that, there are times when we are obeying and it is because of Christ in us even though we may not be conscious of...

I think you must be talking about the pruning of our various branches that we each undergo as a believer....?.....that is a very different thing from BEING a branch that can get cut off from the root and vine (Christ)! Two entirely different ideas being communicated allegorically in two...

Tell me how do people get grafted into the tree in the first place? Only by faith - by coming to Christ and partaking of the new covenant. It is talking about born again believers having the potential to be cut off, not the unsaved who aren't grafted in - that would be an oxymoron.

Unfortunately the OSAS people are the ones who are not understanding what eternal life is and that is why they don't fully grasp those verses. It's not about length of time per se, but it is referring to a realm. ie, spiritual, heavenly realm/kingdom of God, where there is no death. Life in...

Rom 11:19-22 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold...

Sister, we can be mistaken. And there are definitely things that can get in the way and hinder our hearing or cause us to be mistaken. Test the spirits...don't assume everything that feels right actually is. Even the scripture you are alluding to here clearly warns to beware that branches can...

Well whatever your age I perceive you still have great need of milk....if only you would stop spitting it up.

Typo. 1 Tim 1:8 Here I'll post the passage for you: 1Ti 1:7-11 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for...

We often can not hear what the Spirit is saying when we hold to a pet doctrine that we're unwilling to re-examine, or we're enamoured with some teacher. Such things get in the way of our hearing. You asked for scriptures and I gave you quite a few, though there are many more. That's you...

That is what it says in 1 Tim 8. But you would need ears to hear to understand. (I guess I shouldn't be surprised you don't know the scriptures very well, though maybe it's because you are young, or haven't known the Lord very long, if you do.)

No ears to hear? That's sad. How about you tell me what those scriptures are saying then...don't just ignore them. You must not have heard what I said about being kind and compassionate either. Was he marrying a woman? If not, then fine and so what? But if he was marrying a man then I will...

I'm afraid she or he is not talking gospel, just more of what seemeth right to man. The gospel is about finding God and we losing ourselves for His sake. It's not about finding self or fulfilling self, it's about denying self and dying to self. I wonder where does "the old man is crucified...

I would like to know what you consider to be "shunning". You know, we as believers are not here to be best buds with people of the world. Be kind, be helpful, be considerate and compassionate, yes. But not to embrace anyone's sin. Scripture says friendship with the world is enmity with God...

The Spirit and the Word agree. The letter kills I agree.......but the apostle wrote that the Law is good when it is used properly. We must not throw the baby out with the bathwater: 2Ti 3:13-17 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue...

Dear sister, you are loved.......but born again Christians who have once been enlightened, unfortunately they can be deceived and often are. For example, we have the scripture that talks about the deceitfulness of sin hardening the heart. What can happen is that believers can fall away into...
