This from Dragonfly We are to love the lost...together. I believe in community where the brotherhood is a living example of the kingdom. We really can't show Christ on our own. We can testify of Him to be sure. But it is when they see the love of the community from heaven that they are...

The 2 great commandments fulfill the whole law. Love God and love others as Jesus does. You are incorrect as to your understanding of Paul's intent. It is backwards. The difference between the 2 seemingly contradictory statements is WHOM is doing the justifying. Look deeper into this. A man...

Atheists are simply un-believable. :)

No righteous person in the bible ever justified himself because of what he believed or did. Only the Pharisees and modern Christians do this. A truly righteous person does not seek an advantage or claim anything for himself but his own failure. THAT is what it means to be righteous if one still...

I was quoting Paul...Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. We are called to this who are in Christ. You know the verses yourself....are we called to sin for Christ? John says if we sin we are of the devil and we have never...

Again...taking one verse and ignoring the others that bring the full picture is to do one of 2 things 1. enjoying a game of see-saw 2. Creating a man made doctrine that is not based in the truth. I try to assume that those who venture into these debates realize that there is a whole bible and...

Agreed! The true sabbath is to cease from our own works..permanently...in order to do the works prepared in advance that we should walk in them. :)

How can you tell if a record is broken? It just keeps playing the same little part over and over again...like a car stuck in a rut. But when the rut is seen as salvation itself...then any help to push him out of it is politely.....or not so politely ...waved off. Happy motoring...or actualy...

The gospel is according to LIFE...a new life in the power of Christ...not a new doctrinal position. THAT life shows itself by it's fruit. The world SEES that fruit and they testify that it is of God. It is not about a stubborn refusal to see what we are actually doing. It is not about blindly...

Mr. Burger is expressing a position that many at least partially agree with. He has taken the ideas to their logical conclusion. Many have not yet done this since they haven't thought it out completely yet. This idea of a gospel of grace in contra-distinction to the gospel of Christ and the...

I mainly agree again with what you say...although you are confusing some issues. Your position does not take into account that it is the DOERS of the law that are justified not just the hearers and head nodders... Jesus said... Mat_12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy...

Again the false comparison. We are empowered by grace through faith to fulfill the commandments of God. No law breaker will ever enter the kingdom of God. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which...

A man is known by his works. Even a child is known by his behaviour. Does a saved murderer still murder? According to you it has no bearing on anything. A murderer who stops murdering would be seeking to be saved by works??? Pro_20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be...

Placing bets and then convincing yourself you are right about that bet is not about faith at all. "Depart from Me because you never placed your bet on Me??? """" This notion of "someday my prince will come to save me" denies the present reality of the kingdom of God whereby we can walk in...

Richard I posted a fact!!! Where's the rejoicing!!!! ;)

A direct contradiction of your opinion and your experience. ;) We are not to keep the law of Moses but the laws of God.

Faith is not the avoidance of God's law. Faith allows us to fulfill the law in that God empowers us to do so. .

dogmatism 1. a statement of a point of view as if it were an established fact. 2. Arrogant, stubborn assertion of opinion or belief.

That's right! And through His resurrection we can walk in newness of life....according a new power called grace.

1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Joh_14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
