'Water' is about cleansing......getting rid of sin. Yes, any one claiming forgiveness yet nurturing sin is rejecting the Spirits prompting.

I suppose one could apply the same principle to religious systems.

Do you really think that is what is being implied GISMYS_7? Be mindful you do not use these inaccurate arguments to attempt to shore up your position. It is evident your focus is on temporal wealth. ‘For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks’...Jesus. (Matthew 12:34).

You are muddling things here justbyfaith. If Jesus kept the Spirit of the Law he surely kept its letter. You confuse what the religious leaders tacked onto Gods Law with God's Law. Jesus's reference to working with his Father is in reference to the salvation of the human race, it is not in...

Is ownership of the sandwich yours?....even your very breath, is that yours? Everything that we have has been given us.......herein is the Law amplified.....herein is every facet of existence condensed into ten words

Your view of the 10 Commandments is restricted marks. It was this same view that prompted the religious leaders of Jesus day to add their own views to the Commandments peddling them as if they were God's. In regard to your sandwich illustration....consider 'thou shalt not covet'

Let this be clear, Jesus didn't violate the Law he was charged with violating! What he was violating was the additional rules the religious folk tacked onto the Commandments. The rules had nothing to do with God's Commandments.....they (the religious leaders) made God's Commandments burdensome...

The Pharisees relied on this view to determine who was blessed of God and who wasn't. They deemed themselves to have advantage as was highlighted in Jesus's parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Luke 18:10-14 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax...

Awwww Nancy, you're a treasure!

Have you considered marks that the 10 commandments embody every aspect of love presented in brief? The height, the depth, the width....all its implications and connections are within those ten words. Jesus is a living example of their application because they reflect none other than God himself...

The question was not ignored RogerDC; it's that you can't hear the answer.

Nancy....the text to love God and others is mostly seen as a replacement of the 10 C's when in fact it is a reiteration of them. The first four dealing with love to God, the remaining six dealing with love to man.

The reference was not about Truther!

g'day mother....he looks like dad.

Chameleons adapt to their environment but the fundamental beast does not change.

Man gives his allegiance in truth by his behaviour not his words only. Just as Israel forfeited God's protection by their involvement with the Moabite women contrary to God's Commandment. They gave their allegiance to the enemy and so were subject to his rule. The same principle applies to...

'to him who overcomes will I grant to sit with me on my throne'.....Jesus.

Your answer Behold indicates a misunderstanding of both the old and the new covenant. This is the standard answer which those who have no power to keep God's Commandments peddle. They instead invent their own (traditions) putting them forward as commandments while figuring in their hearts they...

Why do you try to trap me with your assumptions? God's Church consists of those who hear God's Commandments and obey them. God's Church does not consist of those calling themselves God's Church because they have regard for traditions which violate God's Commandments.
