Very true. But His awareness and His presence are different things. God can do as He wishes. Nothing is impossible for Him. There is nowhere we can hide from the eyes of the Lord. But we can wander far from His presence.

Does your sense of humour also only come out on certain days? ;)

What of this? Acts 10:11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him...

Agreed. We are to have a "common" purse so to speak considering that the brethren are our family. Who doesn't look after their own family? But we are also to support kingdom workers. Not a salary...but support. No man goes to war at his own expense.

nag, nag nag! :)

You are right! Eternal security is to abide in Christ. We don't carry around this security with us....because it is found only in Him. But, if we abide in Him then we indeed carry this security IN us.

We are free to esteem one day above another if we want to...we are free after all. What we are NOT free to do is to judge others who don't do as we do. It is also wrong to teach for doctrine those things that confuse the truth.

God is holy....and His requirements are holy. But the command to love others as ourselves is doable in our own strength. We just have to consider others as being like ourselves...and make room for others. So then we see a part of the law concerns our righteousness. However, when we walk in...

"gadar perets, post: 437667, member: 7741"]Who decides which are holiness laws and which are righteousness laws since Scripture does not make such designations? Of course it does. There are 2....count them 2...tablets. Also they break down into 2 main laws....loving God....and others. Do we...

Again you are mixing holiness laws and righteousness laws. Mixture is confusion. Look at the "rich young ruler" story. Look at the commandments Jesus said led to salvation. The 6 righteousness laws...or...love your neighbour. When he asked Jesus what else he lacked (holiness) Jesus did not...

Remember the widow. She was very poor and gave all she had....and this impressed Jesus.

The Holy Spirit can't just be recruited one day a week to keep a certain day holy. The Holy Spirit is full time holiness. People who keep the day do so from their own willpower...

I tithe...and always have since becoming a believer. I think 10% is a guideline...a minimum. We have always been very well cared for by the Lord.

All the translations have pluses and minuses. I, too find the KJV easier to remember.

After a certain number....30 or 40...there are just too many people to participate in the meeting....considering everyone is to have the same freedom of expression. The meetings can be moderated but only to let the Spirit guide and speak through the people He wants to speak through. And...

Who here is willing to admit they are NIV positive!

Ummm...not so much. We have real people in our love gatherings...no need to spiritualize.

Obedience to the Spirit means we have the law inwardly. Being under grace means we have no need of an external law to limit/control our actions. In fact God wants to liberate us to do as we will....but by the Spirit. This is the very opposite to before when we were controlled by our passions...

...Amen....and that's where free will comes in. But the law is only for sinners. Freedom reveals the life of God and gives it room to manifest itself in the world. So then grace and law don't mix. Otherwise grace is frustrated.

The 10 commandments contain both holiness laws and righteousness laws. That's why they are written on 2 separate tablets.
