Jesus told the Apostles to teach others the commandments Jesus gave to the Apostles. I fail to understand how this sentence could be read without asking... What Commandments? Some say that there are Jewish Cristians and gentile Christians and that gentile Christians are not under the law. As...

P.S. I don't understand why you're asking about God keeping the law. Jesus kept the law perfectly. God created the law and IS the law.

I agree with most of what you said. The WHY is important. If I'm working to try to get saved, that won't get me saved. Using the good example of the lady crossing the street, if I'm doing it because I know for sure that God would want me to and I'm a person with the spirit of God, then I'm...

So, isn't doing the will of the Father a work? Isn't it a good deed? Isn't it a fruit? If we're DOING something, what's the difference as to what it's called? If I said "good deeds" would that mean something different to you? I truly misunderstand you. You post Galatians 5:19-21 What does this...

See my post no. 33 I'd be repeating if I answered this... God doesn't ask God doesn't request God doesn't suggest God DEMANDS. I'm sorry if you don't like this word. I would say, however, that it's YOU who have lowered God to man's level. MAN may not be able to demand. But GOD certainly does...

101 We can't just pick out the verse we like and avoid all the others. Many do this. You left out the verse just before 9... 1 Timothy 1:8 "But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully" NASB So what does 1 Timothy 1:8-11 mean? The law is good because it must be given...men must...

I'm not "fishing". I clearly stated my belief. It is that Jesus left us with many commands. When God says something it's not a suggestion... I'm trying to understand why others don't see this. What we do is done out of love... THIS is the difference between the O.C. and the N.C. The...

OK. Anyway, it's Paul saying this and not Jesus. What about John 13:14-15 Wash one another's feet... IOW, we are to serve each other and help each other. Is that not a command? Are you going to say that everything is a result of love. OF COURSE. Jesus also commanded that we leave each other...

You're saying they were confused and thought Jesus to be only the Messiah? (The annointed one). So you don't believe they were treating Jesus as God at this point? If they believed they were still under the law of Moses and were mad because Paul was teaching that it wasn't necessary for gentiles...

mj Reread your verses. I do believe these are commands: 1 Co 13:3 I must love first or nothing is worth anything. But then I must also feed the poor. 13:4 Be patient, be kind, don't envy, don't brag about yourself. 13:5 Act in a respectful manner, don't be egotistical, do not get...

Good post 101 but I don't agree with it. The Law is for everyone. We are not judged by the law, you're right about this. But did not God mean the law for everyone? This is exactly what this thread is about. Jesus speaks of leaving us commandments. What commandments do you believe He was...

OK. So then HOW do we know the truth? (I agree with you BTW)

OK. But you didn't say what you believe!!

Right bb. There's only one place in the N.T. that speaks of hell... 2 Peter 2:4

How about quoting some scripture? PLEASE. The above is Luke 16. I wanted to know what twinc understands happened before the Cross. It sounds to me like he thinks all might be lost. I hope I've misunderstood. Sorry HR I just realized you're answering to my post to you. Thanks. I agree fully...

Why? Only twinc knows what he believes. I've heard some pretty odd beliefs in these forums. Maybe I haven't understood him. We shall soon see... (if he answers)

So all the believers in God before Christ are in hell? This is what you believe?

Would anyone say that the Beatitudes in Mathew 5:3-10 are commandments?

You say that we can do good deeds in the flesh but they avail us nothing. It must be as a result of abiding in Christ and the outflow of the Holy Spirit. OK. I believe everyone on these forum is Christian. So how does what you said have meaning for us? Saved persons... What ARE deeds in the...

Twinc The problem is that I don't really know what you're talking about. What do you meant by "but I say unto you"? Do you mean that Jesus said NOT to love our neighbor? WHAT scripture is being misunderstood? You never quoted a scripture. Please clarify. Thanks.
