J Can't reply,,,I need my computer. Only this. Yes, God is Almighty and soveriegn but He is also loving, merciful and just. Just means that He gives to us the opportunity to be saved and this love, mercy and justice does not take away from His sovereignty. You do not have to choose between His...

Please post something that states the New Covenant is conditional. I bold words for emphasis. I always do this. Thanks.

Prayers for you both Amadeus.

Good post!

@Episkopos BTW, you won't be able to study the covenants from the bible. It's kind of like trying to study the Trinity by reading Mathew 28:20.

Well E, I meant it sincerely. We had a discussion of covenants another time and you seemed not to know much about them even back then. Even back then I politely said you should study up. I guess you didn't or you'd know that the NEW COVENANT has NO CONDITIONS. It's an UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT...

Gee Enoch, don't you think everyone here believes this? I would like to ask you however, WHERE does Jesus specifically say He is God? (since you brought it up)

This is what you said: Remember that the sign of the covenant with Abraham was circumcision, but when that Seed was fulfilled in Christ, we are no longer under the law of circumcision - it is now spiritual of the heart, not of the flesh. It is the same with the Ten Commandments and its sign...

THE NEW COVENANT IS UNCONDITIONAL. Why not study up a bit before speaking about it.

There are too many sides to Christianity. Seems we each have our opinion when what we should be doing is reading the words of Jesus very carefully and then follow them to the best of our ability. I don't believe doctrine saves us. We could all be wrong! But let us be convinced in our own mind.

What do you mean by the sacrifices?

If YOU enter into Christ, you will believe Him, have faith in Him, and obey Him. There is no other way.

Circumcision is not one of the 10 Commandments...

Wow. You know all about the covenants, all about asking the right questions, all about faith. Do you also agree that we MUST keep the commandments of God or are you one of those who is trusting Jesus to keep all the commandments for them when Jesus Himself said you will be judged by what you do.

Sure.

Your last paragraph: The Laws of God are not abolished for ANYONE. We WILL be judged by our works, as Jesus said: John 5:28-29 Mathew 7:23 Mathew 25:45:46 This is Jesus speaking. HE said we will be judged by what we DO. Needless to say we must believe in Him, or we will do nothing for Him and...

Won't argue this with you...

?? Jesus DID come after the law. That's exactly what I meant.

But keeping holy the Sabbath IS one of the 10 commandments,,,this has always bothered me. Are we allowed to break any of the other 9?

From the beginning....right. But it WAS the last resort. Nothing avx after Jesus. Sleep well.
