"The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise." Our...

Just for the record: I mostly blame the Evangelicals for this mess. Their veneration of the 10 Commandments was fueled by their hate toward sinners. The 10 were useful weapons against their political opponents. Just above, Psalm 89 is cited as a case for "God never altering His words."...

Mary is NOT the mother of the Spirit of Jesus. She is the mother of His flesh only. Jesus even addressed this: 46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside...

I’ll say it slowly… holy…kiss…

You spelled “teach” wrong. :whistle:

Ah, the lack of commas through me off. :oops: Sorry my friend @Pilgrimshope

So what if he is sharing a false doctrine? Buddhists are very patient and willing to explain their views to anyone who will listen. At least Buddhists do not present "another Christ" as part of their beliefs.

You are very kind. In this case, I like what Paul wrote: specifically about grace and faith vs the law: "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to...

These are the same cats who say obedience to the Law = intimacy with God and getting to spend time with Him. Such nonsense. In Christ He, by the Spirit, is literally is in you and you are in Him. He is the mind, will, and emotion of your spirit. "Spend time with Him..." how moronic.

Are you allowed to change scripture under the Law? Jesus said "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on...

Amen!

Isn't it interesting, when someone who claims we must obey the covenant given at Sinai and they are able to quote the "greatest commandment" (‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is...

Yeah. The first corrupted relationship after the fall was the one between God the Father and His children. Their Father became their enemy: One from whom to hide and dread.

Right. Before eating the fruit they identified with their Father, God, who is Spirit. They knew they were spirits clothed in flesh. After eating, and succumbing to the lusts of the flesh and eyes, they identified with their flesh and "saw", with the eyes of their souls, that they were without...

It wasn't the singing. I accidentally played an instrument, too. Right to jail.

Tried that but the Baptists shut me down. :(

So how’s the weather in Russia?

I think I read the room wrong. I thought this post was REALLY funny. :unsure:

Agreed. Not all pastors are elders but all elders are pastors. These are saints gifted with the care and attention to the people. In the corporate structure pastors are everything-men. No such man exists in the Kingdom of God save for One man.
