This is true E, and I agree. I'm trying to explain something to @farouk that is along these lines. Hebrews is speaking about salvation through faith. Faith ALWAYS saved man...in the O.T. and the N.T. But salvation in the sense of JUSTIFICATION lasts only a MOMENT. We are declared...

Let's see. We are saved.....we are instantly justified. In the O.T. persons had to work for them to be RIGHT WITH GOD. When they sinned, they had to bring a sacrificial animal to the High Priest to forgive them their sin. They touched the animal and the sin was transferred from the person to...

Jesus said that the world will know we are HIS disciples because we love one another. Hating someone is the same as murdering them. Mathew 5:21-22

Agreed. Persons were always saved by faith. This is justification. But if we want righteousness... which only means being right with God... Then in the O.T. we had to acquire our own righteousness... In the N.T. we acquire the righteousness of Jesus.

Not sure I replied to this... You said: But it wasn't the Father who killed Jesus...it was most certainly the devil who sought His death 2,000 years ago. I asked you what did satan gain? your reply is: nothing like he though he would. The fact is that satan might have thought he won the...

Persons were righteous of their own works in the O.T. Psalm 1:5-6 Isaiah 64:5 Genesis 15:6 Abraham obeyed the LORD and it was credited to him as righteousness. In the New Testament.... We are imputed the righteousness of Christ. HIS righteousness is OUR righteousness.

What did THEY do when the church was first established?

I hope @Marymog replied to this. There were home churches everywhere Paul and Peter travelled,,,and they went as far as Naples and maybe even Pisa in Italy. Our faith would not exist without "an institution". How do you think Jesus meant for the Apostles to preach to all the world? One door at...

Agreed for Joachim and Anna. I can't, and won't, insist on the rest. I just don't know. Going by memory is not always a good idea. I could ask my theologian friend the next time I see him. I WILL do this, in the meantime, you could also try to find out.

@Grailhunter Agreed. Agreed.

WILD!! So ready some for weird entertainment?

Mary, I know of a Baptist denomination down in Florence that DOES confess in public in the church! No need to be a fly on the wall ! A friend of mine attends that church and loves it. Agreed. I don't think Jesus meant that. I'm worried we don't really know what He meant...Did He mean...

Why do you think the Reformation rejected the 7 books that are not in the Protestant bible? They could have chosen to keep them there.

Part II I agree...just want to say that we are still required to obey the 10 commandments and anything else Jesus may have said. But, yes, we are no longer under the law but under grace. God sent the Holy Spirit to help us...He was not personally present in the O.T. And the law was...

@Grailhunter I'd like to go through the following. Will take some time... Although I agree with all of the above, I always have in mind persons that I know to be saved that have never read the bible. They accept Jesus as Savior, even though they may not understand the CONCEPT...

What did the devil gain?

I'm always calm...I'm really sorry if the written word (mine!) doesn't come off that way. And, yes, I can catch that wave and ride it. It's a truthful wave. God is in control. Nothing happens without HIS permission.

Oh my. No. This goes against everything Christianity teaches. Jesus died because He is the propitiation for our sins. God Father knew always that God Son was going to die for our sins. Jesus went willingly to His death. Mathew 26:1 1When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His...
