The term 'legalistic' of applied often by those unwilling to obey certain scriptural Commandments. God has ultimate authority. The very moment we reason against a commandment, be it OT or NT, we are placing ourselves as an authority above God. And if we use other's education, principles...

Good post. It is true that God speaks to us in different ways... Through Providence... Nature...a whisper in the ear... Through others... Even rocks and donkeys... And of course prophets... But the Bible is and always should be the final authority. That's what miffs Rome... They demand that they...

I think this would be appropriate in this thread... https://rumble.com/v1xulqe-wup-144.html

Paul expressed the hope that “Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” Paul tied life and death to a physical body, not some soul or spirit. The alternatives that drew him were either “to live” or “to die.” He was “in a strait” between these two. If he lived...

Correct. True. And from where do those gimme from who have been waiting since the day they died... Many of whom died at the second coming?

What sayeth the scriptures? What I seem to argue is irrelevant. KJV John 6:39-40, 44-51, 53-54 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent...

No argument with that. Describing his testimony as an unconverted religious Pharisee and bigot, loved his religion and the law it was based on, yet recognized, despite his zealousness, that he wasn't meeting it's high standards. He was, like Nicodemus, unconverted.

Nicodemus. Member of the religious elite. A Pharisee just like Paul. Loved the law. Saw his obedience to the law as the means by which to be saved. Considered himself am example and mentor to society. And was unconverted.

I believe that glorifying God is expressing His character. His character is reflected in His law, "for all Thy commandments are righteousness", and obedience to His commandments is to God's glory. Those in the end who are sealed, having "their Father's name in their foreheads", as opposed to the...

Romans 7 is a description of an unconverted man. Seeking maybe, attending the synagogue regularly like Nicodemus, but unconverted nevertheless. No converted born again Christian and filled with the Spirit of God should be having the problems as described in Romans 7. The person described therein...

Why would you jump to such a conclusion? What I'm denying is the church's penchant for believing some animated entity, be it soul or spirit, should go directly to an afterlife...be it purgatory, heaven, or hell, or some other Valhalla or whatever. The soul is not a being in and of itself...

So all of you 3 immediately above accept the word of Satan above that of God. God warned Adam, if he sinned, he would die. Satan said no. He would not die. And Satan's lie had been repeated ever since through paganism, and from your pulpits through those who have accepted pagan errors and...

Some commentators are inclined to identify this “altar” as the altar of incense mentioned under the seventh seal (Rev. 8:1–6). But the reference to “blood” (instead of “incense”) in Revelation 6:9–11 leads us to see here an allusion to the altar of burnt offering, where the blood of the...

Earlier you claimed the story of the rich man and Lazarus as proof of souls living in heaven. To justify this you would have to admit that heaven and hell are close enough to allow a conversation between the dwellers of both places (Luke 16:23–31). We also would have to suppose that in the...

If you are nearly completely blind, can barely write and need a companion every where you go, and at the same time minister the gospel under persecution and privation, you need God's grace.

Genesis forms the framework for all truth. Anything derived from scripture that in your mind contradicts Genesis, is error. You have read the NT and believe it says that the soul of a part of the human person. Yet Genesis states otherwise. KJV Genesis 2:7 7 And the Lord God formed man of the...

And to support that is... KJV Romans 16:22 22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord . Guess? No. You discern what the scriptures reveal, and accept the evidence by faith. Claiming the thorn to be something else other than what evidence suggests is guessing and unbelief in...

I don't get the relevance to this discussion.

The Lord showed me several years ago a number of verses and circumstances in the NT that show Paul was indeed partly blind. I suspect a leftover of his experience when converted on the road to Damascus. I believe God allowed this in order to ensure Paul's humility and continuing trust in Jesus...

A long time ago I named a puppy Sole. Kept eating boots. But not the answer I was looking either.
