Sure an eye for an eye. But also a life for a life. Jesus came to give His life that we might crawl out from under the rocks and walk upright in God's image. Jesus came to give His life not to kill people or to mete out retribution justice for sins. So then we have this calling as Christians to...

Amen. We need to quieten down...not get too caught up in the noises of human activity....to listen within to the leading of the Spirit...ALL the time. It's a more meditative way of being I guess. From that place God is able to speak to us...even in the hustle and bustle of very busy lives...

There are different depths of the Spirit..and different distances to the following of Jesus. Being led of the Spirit gives us certain times where we are in God's presence. But there is also a closer walk of abiding in Christ by the keeping power of God whereby one does not sin for extended...

I'm quite "partial" to that kind of Preterism. :)

I understood what you meant. You did eh? You haven't understood what I said...but are putting your own ideas in and calling them mine. Never a good way to discuss things. You are confusing the difference between a believer and a non-believer. There is a difference you know...of course in...

I would put it as ...they who are abiding in Christ are not sinning now...since we modern Christians are usually taught about what men can do and not what God can do through us. And there are so few actually abiding in Christ...so few that many have never heard of a walk without sin.

Dispensationalism is firmly rooted in the pre-Pentecost mindset of they who have not been brought into the power of the kingdom of God. God is turned from being a Spirit to being an idol...since only natural things can be observed by these.

If you want to call a good observation an accusation...then so be it I suppose. But you tend to lead with your chin and have your heart on your sleeve when you are proven wrong...which I admit must be hard to take for all the study you seem to do. The only way we communicate is...not by the...

I'll cut into the dance. :) There is no cookie cutter answer to that question. It depends what level of salvation one is speaking of. For a saint...no human works are possible to attain to Christ. It is Christ in us. For the saved of the nations in the next age who are judged for their HUMAN...

Yes...I thought so. Recognized that 1st century racoon. :) Welcome back.

Yes, there were the righteous and the prophets...as Jesus said. But Jesus took things to a whole new level...like adding an upper room to a building...if you understand my meaning. Matthew 13:17 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see...

Exposed again! ;) Actually it depends how you see things whether for yourself or for God. Now we live in a very selfish society..and add to that our own selfish carnal nature....and the gospel is sure to be flipped around in it's purpose. Do we see Christianity as an end....which serves...

In the end Dispensationalism is just a fancy way to ignore the commands from God we don't like. It is just another way to privately interpret the bible in a way that suits us. We don't like the way Jesus treated the rich young man?...telling him to forsake all he had in order to follow Jesus...

All the OT saints were led by the Spirit. God spoke to them to direct them into His will. So in this way we could say they were prophets. God chose righteous people and took them into His confidence. God likes to try improving on the fruit He sees...so that this might bear MORE fruit. So He...

God is so faithful. :) .80 cents. That's like a whole Canadian dollar's worth. Time to splurge! :) But seriously...praise the Lord....and keep resting in the Lord! :)

Just look at how popular an easy and gentle message is. A huge amount of followers. If you add in more truth...the cross of Christ...the numbers dwindle down to a large extent. If you go into one by one discipleship, you can usually count the people with your fingers. But it must be so. It...

There was a case where a group of Jewish volunteers beat up a black homosexual man so badly that he lost an eye. So really this is a law against vigilantism. The volunteers are supposed to help police the streets in their part of town...but this can turn quickly into a gang mentality. So then...

In both Hebrew and Greek, the word for faith is also the word for faithfulness. IOW it is assumed that one who believes in something will actually do it as it's supposed to be done. James is merely pointing that out. We could say that James was saying that faith divorced from faithfulness is...

Heresy means division...bringing a division among disciples. The devil wants nothing more than to see the body of Christ to be fragmented. As they say...divide and conquer. But there is a problem with identifying heresy. When there is a time where the truth speakers are in the minority....as...

The righteous are scarcely saved...into the nations in the next age. The saints are abundantly saved and rule over the nations in the next age from the holy city. Also among the nations are the poor and they who died too young or were oppressed in this life. There are many many in the nations...
