    Why don't you enlighten us and tell us the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant since I've tried and am, apparently, not understood and no one else here has deemed to do this. Would you like to give it a go? What's the difference? Does the New Covenant state that we are no...

    Don't you worry Armadillo. It doesn't make God sick. Those who think the law is dead make God sick. I'm not going to post anymore since much has been posted in support of what I've been saying. Why don't YOU post a verse that states that we are not longer to do the works of God because He...

    I add nothing to scripture. I know that this cannot be done. I also take nothing out of scripture. I accept it all. Jesus knew how to speak really well. Crowds gathered 'round and listened intently to Him. If He wanted to tell us the commandments were too difficult to keep, THIS is what He...

    No need to add him to your prayer list. Jesus did a lot for us didn't He? Are we so displeased to do anything for HIM? Is it absolutely necessary to say that He finished everything and we're to do nothing? I hear our works are as dirty rags. Then why did Jesus say He was going to judge us on...

    How is explaining the difference of the O.C. and the N.C. repeating? We've never touched on this and THIS is the problem. We like to hear sweet words about how Jesus has done it all and how we don't need to do anything. I know you're not one of these persons just by having been here a few...

    Since the law has not been abolished, as per Jesus who hung on that cross for you and I, Mathew 5:17 for the umpteenth time WHY do you tell me that I'm trying to please God by my attempt to keep the law? Should I go and sin as much as I can? Are you telling me God does not recognize my good...

    What's not right about it? This is what I posted: THIS IS WHAT HAS CHANGED. NOT the keeping of the Law. The LAW cannot be kept. BUT GOD STILL DEMANDS THAT IT DOES. I'm sure you've studied the Covenants... So, Does God demand obedience from us? John 14:15 Can we keep the law? Romans 3:23...

    OK. End of conversation. We'll meet again. BUT, I sure would like to know WHICH VERSE in 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 says that we are no longer to obey... I don't see it. I see the difference between the O.C. and the N.C. Peace.

    I like your company or I would not have spoken to you for such a length of time. NO ONE could keep the Law. Was it easier to keep in the Sinai desert, or is it easier to keep today? Today is the right answer. Why? Don't answer. Just think about it. THIS IS WHAT HAS CHANGED. NOT the keeping...

    If you're going to be confused Stranger, we could end the conversation right now. Please explain HOW 2 Corinthians 3:10-17 tells us NOT to obey. It just tells us the N.C. is better. I USED JOHN 6:29, not YOU. In fact, YOU probably don't like it too much because it speaks of judgement.

    Here's the whole post Stranger. *********************************************** Stranger says: Yes, I believe the law has been done away as far as we having to follow it. (2 Cor. 3:11) Let me ask a question. I say we don't have to follow the law, and I acknowledge that I cannot keep the law...

    Was James confused?

    NO. You haven't. No one who believes as YOU do has ever posted a supporting verse. WHERE in the bible does it say that we are to do nothing but BELIEVE in Jesus? And if you're going to use John 6:29, you're going to have to explain what BELIEVE means. You posted 2 Corinthians. I explained...

    Was James confused?

    How we answer is one thing... What GOD requires is quite another. God requires us to obey... How we answer to that requirement is a totally different idea. You're saying, in a post above, that you believe the law has been done away with as far as we having to follow it. Here's your quote...

    Was James confused?

    Very good post. Of course everything you say is true. IF what some believe were so, all the N.T. would have to say is: JUST BELIEVE IN JESUS AND YOU'LL BE OK. Not only does it NOT say this, but verses cannot be provided to support the above position. All the N.T. does is implore us to do as...

    P.S. One of the first things you learn in theology is that you do not make a doctrine from one verse. The Bible is a complete thought... Where does it say we are no longer to obey God.? What commandments is Jesus talking about in John 14:15?

    Was James confused?

    Here's the difference... I know that God demands obedience and He's given me a way to obey Him with love. You claim He no longer demands obedience. Has God changed?

    I agree. But then you ruined it with the works thing. We are all here because we're born again . No One is here because of their works. We're all here because we have faith in Jesus and His grace. Now what? Do we sit back and do nothing? Do we still be the commandments? Easy yes or no...

    Answer a question with a question. Ok. 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 What have we been discussing ? Have we not been discussing the difference between the OC and the NC? I've said all along that the NC is better. It's the one for which all the covenants strive, beginning with the Edenic. I've been...

    You asked him which commandments he keeps. You know very well that we cannot keep the commandments perfectly. That does not mean that we should do away with them. The word fulfull is a problem. The word law is a problem. The word believe is a problem. Maybe we should be discussing what these...
