Aspen, Why is it necessary for evil to have a source in order to NOT do evil? I'm sorry, I didn't follow this thread. Did you state where YOU think evil comes from? If we know that God is the good "force" and we know that there is an evil "force" we still get to choose whom we will serve. We...

Hi Speedy, I don't think I've seen this thread. Not sure. Just want to say that I stopped watching your video at 3:30 point. Not because I didn't like it or agree with it, but because I DO agree with it. There is no answer for where evil comes from. If God created evil (or even calamity) then...

YES, Jesus will say to some "I do not know you". Read the very next words... "you who practice LAWLESSNESS". Mathew 7:23 If we DO NOT follow the law, we are practicing lawlessness. Jesus will not know those who do NOT practice the law.

I'm sorry if I missed it. Did I answer you now?

The point is this mj: How would I know what murder is unless I was told somehow? Assume you were living in a forest somewhere and no one ever taught you that to kill is wrong. You might even kill because you're just mad at someone. We know about murder because God commanded us and taught we...

You can't split God up into parts. GOD IS LOVE. GOD IS JUST. You must accept both parts of God. Acts 17:31 "because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."

Jesus said that IF we want to FOLLOW Him, we must pick up our cross daily. Mathew 16:24 But He also taught that HIS yoke is easy and His burden is light. Mathew 11:29-30 He never said there would not BE a burden. All Jesus talked about was laws, doing works, obeying God. How this is ignored...

Just keep paying attention, from now on.

I don't miss points.

You NEVER asked me personally. I NEVER said I keep the law. I said we are to keep the law. That doesn't mean we do. But we DO NOT say that we are no longer to keep the law because Jesus did it all for us. The law has not been abolished. How many times can I say it? Mathew 5:17 The law is...

Great observation. Also, Jesus said what I posted. Maybe we could get rid of everything Jesus said too... It was sooooo law oriented... Maybe we could discard the whole New Testament????? We could all just do whatever we want, understand, or enjoy doing. Yeah. That's the ticket.

What is murder? I kill when I need to.

Here's what I've learned and can attest to: Those who say they walk in grace are by far the most judgemental and unkind people I've run across. Those who say they want to keep the law and do good works are the kindest persons I've run across. Pay attention and you'll find that I'm correct in...

You're funny. God doesn't make REQUESTS. He's GOD. God demands. Whether we obey or not, whatever the consequences or not, is another story. But you could be sure that God demands And He demands that we choose... Start at Genesis 2:17 God demanded that Adam and Eve not eat from the tree of the...

1. You just gave a Like to someone who said that grace does not nullify the law. Which is what I've been saying all along. 2. You say God will judge the heart and indeed He will -- If heaven was based on our works, we'd all fall short, of course. So what do you make of this verse? This is...

Wow. I know I won't... But I sure hope I never get flowers from you! And you say you know about love...

What a good post! How refreshing. I've often said that we here are ALREADY saved. We are not working to be justified. But because we are justified does not mean we can ignore the law (the moral law). Sanctification is next --- and that's a life-long process of buying flowers for the one we love.

Amen to that. ONE spirit. So many interpretations. I like sticking to scripture... And mainline churches that teach us what God wants us to know and BE.

Great Willie! The laws come to all of us because God has spoken them. The Israelites did not know the laws, thus God gave them. Ditto for us. We only know them because they have been told to us.
