    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    The reason you are not under the law is that when you are led by the Spirit, you are living in harmony with the law. You are obeying the law. Those not led by the Spirit, they are carnal minded and are at enmity with God, they are not subject to the law, therefore are under the law, under it's...

    The Lord God of Israel has visited?

    I see the prime purpose for the Son's incarnation was to reveal what for centuries had been obscured, twisted, abused, and slandered. The character of the Father. Also... KJV Isaiah 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the...

    Most Christians boldly proclaim "I know Him" but do NOT guard/keep His commandments!

    Agreed. And all glory to the Father and the Son for making the way possible for all to find forgiveness. And then what? Do we behave like those of Israel in the OT who kept a get out of jail free card grazing in the back paddock and continue their idolatry?

    What Things Would you Like to See, Functioning In Church

    In other words, discipling. Teaching, especially the youth, (seeing it will be primarily their responsibility when Jesus comes) to share the gospel with their respective communities. They need to be prepared for the latter rain. To learn how to minister to both spiritual and physical needs of...

    Why do Catholics…

    Like this great dragon, no doubt also baptized, and now a Christian dragon yes? Like the black Jupiter?

    Why do Catholics…

    Not pagan at all. All celebrating the resurrection. If not the resurrection, most definitely Christian right? Most assuredly the church Jesus started.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    The more common objection runs along the lines of A. Not for us or B. Those ones yes, that one no. ...but never "I delight to do thy will oh God", or "your law have I hid in my heart", or "how love I thy law".

    New Here: a Reluctant Agnostic

    Hi. I grew up in a religion/faith that never encouraged a personal relationship with Jesus, and now actively discourages such a thing. Yet I 'believed' in the existence of God, who I believed to be the creator. Then a Christian friend asked me, "do you think God approves of your current...

    New, Reluctant Agnostic, hope it's okay to post here

    I agree with Amadeus. With some this is possible... There are some good folk here. But all here are people. I pray you may have the wisdom to discern between the good and the not so good. Welcome.

    Intolerance

    The height of irony. A thread discussing tolerance/toleration, and posters expressing intolerance. The question therefore... If tolerance is limited, and intolerance conditional, how do we work out righteous parameters in which to exercise judgement on matters that challenge our cherished...

    Does The Bible Speak Against Nudity?

    There's always someone willing to push the envelope of social acceptability, which is why we are where we are today. In the midst of an age of moral relativity and decadence.

    Most Christians boldly proclaim "I know Him" but do NOT guard/keep His commandments!

    Which leads us to a further consideration. We must assume that God desires His true character to be revealed and made known right? And that verily was revealed at Calvary. Self sacrificing love. Total complete unselfish mercy mingled with justice demonstrating His true nature, thus offering...

    Most Christians boldly proclaim "I know Him" but do NOT guard/keep His commandments!

    That's a good point. The angels fell because they doubted God's character. Their faith floundered on the slander and lies of Lucifer. Rebellion, one of several descriptors of sin, then became inevitable. So sin comes about because we don't believe God's word, and doubt His love and goodness...

    Most Christians boldly proclaim "I know Him" but do NOT guard/keep His commandments!

    We are born with the propensity to sin, yes. But those who are born again, those who are now new creatures in Christ, whose old man, the fleshly carnal nature died with Jesus upon the cross and now being risen with Him having power to overcome, being filled with the Spirit of the Almighty God...

    HERESY?

    And I might add, yes, Jesus promised that those who accept Him will never die. I would never doubt that. That is, after all, the Christian hope. Eternal life. KJV John 17:3 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. The...

    HERESY?

    I don't doubt your testimony. I am sure your prayer was answered. After all, God is a gracious merciful God, and has promised to respond to the faith of His children. Even to those who don't pray at all, He blesses. God is always good. Always.

    HERESY?

    They are dead. Mary is dead. Joseph is dead. They see not, hear not, nor can they speak, think, or intercede for anyone. What are you afraid of that you refuse to approach God in person?
