I've highlighted two of your statements: 1. First you say we're to walk as God has spoken to us. But you disparage those who are doing so. 2. How do you know some of us are struggling along trying to keep the laws? You can see into a person's heart? Does this mean you DO NOT keep the laws...

What does James 1:22 mean? The brother of Jesus says that we are to be DOERS of the word and not only hearers of the word. Jesus said that if we want to be His friend, we must obey Him: John 15:14 Paul says to be careful how we behave. Ephesians 5:14-21 Ephesians 5:17 Paul says to understand...

Hi Willie, I'd say I'm a grace person but seen as a works person because I believe God requires us to keep the law. I don't read anywhere in the N.T., by any writer, that the law has been abolished --- only fulfilled, and there is much misunderstanding for the word fulfilled. If there is...

A new seeker does not need to hear about works because it's not works that will save him. He needs to hear about Jesus, the gospel message, how Jesus saves us by the Holy Spirit indwelling, etc. AFTER a person is saved, then everything we do is done for God and we live by the spirit within...

Great explanation! You said that God's method of atonement has been changed twice. Do you mean once? Before it was animals, and then Jesus. That would be one change. ?? Welcome to the forum. Please reply.

Great post. Thanks for the time and effort. Welcome to the forum and hang around...

I agree with all you've said except the very first sentence -- highlighted above. Jesus DID change an old law thus making it new. For instance, "You have heard it said, an eye for an eye" "BUT I SAY TO YOU, love your enemies." In the O.T. civil law it was permitted and even required that one...

Are you saying that the 10 commandments are no longer to be kept? Since the OC is not made obsolete but is made BETTER, we all are still also under the OC since we gentiles have been grafted in. Romans 11 The NC is a far better covenant and is completed, or fulfilled, in Christ. The 10...

Amen. Well said. (I do worry about new Christians who hear that works are not necessary. That all we need to do is "accept". This is not what Jesus or Paul or any other writer said.)

LOL Do what it takes!! Desperation ---

I try!

The stumbling blocks are being put in place by those who proclaim that the law is abolished (the moral law), and that God does not demand obedience. Obedience is the proof of our faith. The bible is full of verses stating that man can be righteous: Whoever pursues righteousness and love...

I'm not God. God demands. There are many reasons why God demands our obedience and has from the time of Adam and Eve. 1. Obedience demonstrates true, living, "saving" faith. James 2:17 2. Obedience is part of complete repentance (turn from doing sin, turn to obey God). 3. We remain "in...

Why are you so upset all the time at persons who are trying to do as God would want us to do? You could disobey Him if you wish, but it is NOT why Jesus died for you. Peter lived with Jesus for years. Hear what Peter says: 2 Peter 1:3-12 He exhorts us to good moral values and godliness. 3...

Believing the law has been done away with and teaching others the same is a very dangerous belief to follow. Mathew 5:19

You should read posts before jumping in. I'M NOT the one asking about circumcision.

Then why did you ask why cicumcision is not adhered to today?

What is a paraclete? Didn't Jesus say he would send one? John 14:16
