I see you like using the term 'weak and useless' when referring to God's Law; dismissing the context in which it was said even asserting that Paul is on your side in putting the Law down. Your error can hardly be worse. Your efforts serve only to highlight a very poor understanding of both Paul...

The Gospel is not possible to be understood without a person's willingness to understand. It's understanding does not hinge on theological qualifications nor the ability to read and decipher ancient languages. It is not understood by intelligent logic neither can one come to it by endless...

lol...your moniker speaks volumes. An unfailing disposition here wanting ears.....but who knows, amongst all the glitter are flecks with genuine quality.

thanks

hello

I wonder??....about Abraham....justified by faith because his actions manifested that faith. Wasn't he reborn? as also all the Prophets? I think driving a divide between the Old and Testaments on this point is not warranted. God saves people....he saves them the same way irrespective of where...

ahhmmmm...things will get tough, we've been told!... but take up your cross and deny yourself and have guns ready somehow doesn't seem consistent.

Salvation is not only from the consequences of sin ie, death but also from its power ie, sin. Sin is defined by the Law.....to be specific, the Ten Commandments.....it is the standard of judgement. He who loves God also loves his Commandments for they are holy, just and good. Any argument...

I meant the method of expounding or explaining the scriptures JunChosen.

The Law is a boundary for all people and shifting focus by apportioning blame through accusation as in your statement here is a convenient side step. You are not exonerated in your reply.

Please forgive me. My harsh answer in post #56 was not warranted. I had assumed your answer to which I responded took the position of dismissing God's Law, the Law of Liberty as it is called and replaced it with the popular catch cry 'you only need to love'

You might want to reconsider this farouk. Your reply here is unsound exegesis.

So as you're saying, the folk in the Old Testament where equally justified by faith. So why make a big song and dance against and about being justified by the Law because one is inspired to honour it by keeping it? or are you telling me you cannot help lying and stealing and coveting and...

Do you think God changed his mind in regards to how people throughout the ages are justified?

Yes, in spite of the fallenness of Creation God's beauty shines through. I think Jesus held many of his discourses in the natural environment and used figures from it to impress upon us this beauty.

The Spirit you speaks of opposes Gods Law and attempts to put it in a bad light, even get rid of it. The Spirit Jesus and the Apostles spoke of validated the Law of God.....it nullified not one jot or title. It honoured God's Law. Your law seeks to get rid of God's Law because it condemns you...

When you assert the above and simultaneously say the Law of God (the 10C's) is done away with you talk in circles and contradict yourself. You do not understand what you are saying. Better off is the man with few words with understanding than a man with many words and little understanding.

You're talking around in circles jbf.

I would say, for the most part, those exhibiting the fruits of the spirit are not conscious of it; that is to say they do not consciously perform.....theirs is an activity which has them ask as per Jesus' parable, 'when did we do all these things?' Not intending to derail the thread but while...

that's kinda nebulous.....a bit like the hippy love and peace.... a love fuelled by self, shifting according to the fickle tastes of the times. God's Law is dismissed because it is specific; it delineates the boundaries clearly.....the very thing the carnal heart resists.....it, the carnal...
