    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Nehemiah 9:13-14 13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Ezekiel 20:12 12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them . KJV Ezekiel 20:20 20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Exodus 31:16-17 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    It seems to me that many go to a great deal of trouble in order to "prove" that observing the 7th day Sabbath is not a Christian observance, yet defend Sunday observance with assumptions and tradition. No where did scripture declare the Sabbath no longer observable for the church. The early...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Is it good, righteous, virtuous, to obey God, or not?

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Paul speaks of ceremonial Sabbaths as shadows, certainly, and with that I cannot disagree. What I am concerned about is the weekly Sabbath as a ceremonial, rather than moral, imperative. I am sure you would agree that the ceremonial shadows were instituted with one purpose in mind... As a...

    On Cows, Law, Dog Kennels and Obedience.

    Any media outlet that expresses public opinion in any form, for example talk-back radio, is awash with concern over the current state of crime, violence, social addictions and morality. Much of the debate centers on law, what changes need to be made if any, and how to enforce those changes once...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Yes, He confirmed the law...KJV Isaiah 42:21 21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable . However, can you provide some scriptural confirmation regarding that "which is now called the Lord's day"? Can you prove from scripture that...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Amen, that the power of God's word... It is His creative medium. And it is by beholding we are changed... Recreated in His image. An image that walks as He walked..."I have kept My Father's Commandments".

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    I don't see those above as commands as such, nor do I see the 'ten commandments' of Exodus 20 as commands in the normally accepted manner. That expression, "be" etc etc, I view as promises, much the same as "thou shalt". It is a command, sure, but not that one must strive to obey, but rather...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    If there is anything we do or don't do that can be defined as sin, then I think it's a given that we must turn around and do the opposite. From sin to righteousness. From rebelliousness to righteousness. Obedience to God has never been optional.

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Not at all. If one is under the condemnation of the law, it is because of disobedience to one of its precepts. Right? If one obeys all the commandments, and in Christ we not only have the power over sin, sin no longer having dominion over us, but Christ's righteousness is imputed as well as...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    The only ones under the law are those who disobey it. The law doesn't bother anyone who obeys. Fairly simple concept really. As Jesus replied to the inquiring lawyer... What must I do to inherit eternal life? Keep the Commandments. Everyone knows though that on our own, such is impossible...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    KJV Revelation 20:9 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. This passage is speaking of the literal city, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven at...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Where you err is in the fact that Babylon the Great, the apostate system you speak of, is a global enterprise. You are keeping it local. Spiritual Israel, the true church, is global. Babylon, the spiritual apostate Christian entity, is also global. Also, the consensus with very few exceptions...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    It's not me describing the earth, its scripture. KJV Isaiah 24:18-20 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    The question I would have at this point is, where will all these folks live, considering the earth itself is utterly broken, destroyed, and every vestige of man's inventiveness and prowess laid in ruin? And from where will he obtain food, considering all agriculture and manufacturer utterly...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    No-one should think that they can separate the law from the gospel.On many occasions the Pharisees in their hypocrisy were roundly and rightly rebuked by Jesus for thinking that by keeping the law they would be saved; on one such occasion Jesus said: Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and...

    Most monumental moment in salvation history?

    The two greatest salvational events in history... First, the coming of Messiah, which includes His death and resurrection. Second, the reformation. The setting free of those bound captive to papal tyranny and deception. There is a third yet to take place, the physical appearance and coming of...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    Continued.... Notice that it is the people, (the ‘they in verse 14) who under recommendation from the state power, create this image, another church/state union, and it is the second beast, or nation, that gives the church/state union its power. And notice that this nation with the horns like a...
