Amen! Well said Walter! :m1212:

Please read John 15 again... 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the...

I do not believe that a non-believer has the capacity to follow what the law requires unless God has already been working in that particular heart or that person has some kind of experience in Jewish tradition/culture/world view. JMHO

This thread has been tidied up as much as possible....I understand that other points can be made form the O/P and suggest that you create another thread with a link posted in here ~ explaining your intention of exploring another avenue of thought that has stemmed from this topic. Please keep to...

In the portion above that in Acts:1015 God said to Peter ~ " And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” I understand that those who listened to Peter were cleansed because of the word that was spoken to them. Paul is speaking here about...

1 Corinthians 7 is more likely about one spouse becoming a believer while they were married. If the unbelieving partner chooses to stay in that marriage then so be it. If the unbelieving partner does does not wish to stay in that marriage, then they can depart.... Probably he knew just as...

That's right I agree but the bible is not clearly stating that....

Hi prashanthd, no...I just use google because it's convenient. I'm not sure if it matters what search engine we use, I just like to get to stuff straight away. :unsure:

I already said that in the posts above...You are only reiterating what I have already said :huh: Oh yes they are...that is one of the reasons for Christ's death and resurrection. Hebrews 8:7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for...

Paul is not teaching that the disobedient are under the law. What he was trying to do was to show the Jews that an inward heart change is more important than physical circumcision. Physical circumcision is only good if you can keep the law but we know as well as they, that no-one actually kept...

I am lost with what you are trying to say here but I understand that a Christian is a believer in and follower of Christ. A Jew is a believer in God and follower of the law. They are two separate people until the Jew believes in Jesus Christ and his redeeming work on the cross and receives him...

If that were true than scripture is also misleading when it says: In reference to those who were under the law... 23 Before the coming of this faith,we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ...

...but he was still on the vine. I think God gives everyone he calls a chance. The ones who manage to cross the Jordan are safe. The ones who do not cross are stuck on the other side until they make the choice to cross. If they die before that...they do so without the saviors promises.

Has the Lord, through the Holy Spirit, ever prompted you to do something beyond your capabilities? I can think of a few situations where that has happened to me. For instance, going up to a complete stranger in the street and telling them what the Lord has shown me about a particular situation...

Well kerwin ~ that would really depend on whether everyone believes that your understanding of Revelation is correct. Since scholars have disagreed on the many interpretations presented re: Revelation over the years ~ I doubt yours would be any better... JMHO You are preaching to the converted...

Abram's seed was Christ. We are not part of the Jewish belief system nor will we ever be, we are Gentile believers in Christ just as those who were Jews and who accepted Jesus as their coming Messiah are also in Christ. The two then have become one flesh because of Christ and the cross...

That is Awesome!!! :happy0141:

Just as Christ was glorified through death and resurrection. I believe that the Church will also be glorified and resurrected as individual believers to make up the building [new Jerusalem] whose foundation is built upon the prophets and Apostles. Ephesians 2 19 Consequently, you are no longer...

Yes but we are still in the flesh and only partially redeemed. We have a guarantee of that redemption in the form of the Holy Spirit dwelling in all born-again believers. 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 1:14. We become fully redeemed when Christ comes again Hebrews 9:28 when we...
