Until somebody actually says that the grace God through Christ Jesus doesn't save us, and we are saved by obeying the law only, then what's the beef? What's the phobia about having to separate God's word against itself? Jesus said we live by His EVERY word. That means we are not righteous enough to pick out only what we want form His word. It takes the grace of God to accept this fact.
There would be much more agreement and polite discussion if people would refrain from accusing others of wanting to be "under the law" because it has been explained over and over again that the phrase is not at all what anyone on the forum that I have ever seen is proposing.
Law mixed with grace is the leaven of the pharisees and produces the same results as simply following the law, i.e., spiritual death.

Seeing as you have not agreed with me before on my stance that I believe ALL God's word but I do not believe that the OT is applicable to my life as a child of God in the body of Christ living in the administration of grace - I find this agreement - odd, to say the least.
You didn't say this in your previous post that I agreed with but this one I will, and give you reason for my rejection. If you purposefully reject any of His word then IMO, and according to the words of your mutual Savior, you are rejecting part of His grace also.

Then I disagree with your analogy that some of the word (the Word being Jesus) doesn't apply to your life in Him. I see that as a contradiction for the OT is also the Word = the Savior, but not salvation by itself because the ultimate sacrifice wasn't fulfilled by the OT.

In so stating, you are not agreeing with John 1:1 "in the beginning was the Word." Then the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That means the Word, being Jesus Himself, was all Jesus, long before the NT was even written. If you believe in only part of Him, then I would have to disagree with your belief system. If only part of Jesus is applicable to my life, then I do not fully believe in Him, for He is the Word of God in a complete form. Nuff said.

nice question my brethren :happy:
may i add this question
please
``where we can find god's grace from the old testament?``

again pleased reconsidered our humble question
for we are ignorants unto this beef thing ( blush )

this verse from o.t. is one of those words written in the scriptures
keeps us from temptation ( hope we dont said to much ) of the wicked spirits!

Isaiah: 63. 16. For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.

The NT didn't exist then. The OT is all Jesus had. The OT describes the shadows. The NT describes the light. Leave the shadows and come to the light.


LOL I'm not actively involved in this discussion but find the posts interesting. Had to laugh at your excellent observation about how the NT didn't exist then and the OT is all Jesus had to quote ..;)

Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 24:22

manner of law = מִשְׁפַּ֤ט = verdict or judgement

The issue here is NOT showing partiality to Israelites over sojurners.
True. It's good to see that your agreeing with me. If you think I was insinuating differently, then you misread my original post concerning this. This agrees with the NT in that there is not difference between the Jew and the Greek or Gentile if you will. That was the original intent of my post. One is not above the other and they all lived together by one government under the Almighty God. Until they rebelled of course, but that discussion is for a different time.

The leaven of the Pharisees was that they corrupted the ways of God and turned them into self-righteous teachings.

Yeah I had to laugh to but not for the same reasons, for Jesus did not quote the OT because that is all He had back then.

Jesus is the Word and thus He had the new covenant apart of Him, which is why His teachings are for the new covenant under grace.

Just because it was not in written form does not mean Jesus did not know what the new covenant was or the teachings for it. Jesus brought with Him the new covenant teachings !!!

They use grace as a deceitful cover to promote law-keeping (yes grace, but...). Trying to keep laws destroys the work of grace.

I would agree with that, and to add, most of His teachings were during Old Testament times, for He wasn't dead yet as the testator. Your right on brother!

Rejecting even one smidgen of God's word in order to endorse His grace is where division begins, because rejecting certain parts of His given word to us is in actuality rejecting of His grace. This rejection is carnal, for the carnal mind is enmity against God.


Exactly what is it that you think is being rejected?

nice post
if we may add this verses too
my breathren

Psalm: 13. 2. The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God. 3. They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. 4. Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread ? 5. They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. 6. For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.

Isaiah: 51. 8. For the worm shall eat them up as a garment: and the moth shall consume them as wool: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice from generation to generation,

godbless us always
thank you very much

That would be OT pharisees. The leaven of the NT pharisees corrupts the bread of GOD by mixing rules and regulations (and OT law) with grace.

Well, let me just say - I believe we can have discussions but I don't believe our objective is to "have someone believe like me" that to me sounds prideful and that is the opposite of "endeavoring to keep the unity" - which seems to be your objective "we should all strive to come together in agreement". Look my husband and I don't agree on everything that we "think or believe" but we are still in unity because of our love for each other . . . I try my best to not be easily offended by things he does that I may not agree with and he shows me the same courtesy.
As I said, and I'll word it different if you didn't catch it.
In the beginning we might not all agree at all. But if we are a willing participant to learn from others, and share our understanding with others in peaceful conversation, the disagreements will slowly disappear. That's a given, but if we are to grow together we need to not consistently stalemate the process by being "stiff-necked" by contending for our doctrinal issues rather than contending for the faith, which stops edification. As much as I've see in CC that attitude of contending for our own doctrine seems to be the predominant forte from the conversations I've seen.

The Bible clearly tells us to grow. That means we don't know as much in the beginning as we will later, IF we are submissive to hearing the truth of ALL of God's spoken words from each other including the spiritual truth of the OT. Cemented in the true doctrine of Christ doesn't mean we should be cemented by our predetermined mindset, that what God has given us by His grace, is all we are going to listen to. If that is prevalent then we restrict ourselves from growing in His grace for we have determined that we have it all, and there isn't any more. We are to learn from each other, and if we do that we can come together with one mind and one accord as the scriptures exhort us to do.

and one more thing my brothers and my fellows
i dont know if this letter
answers the questions from the verses given by our brother @ just-me
a while ago.
Isaiah: 34. 16. Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. 17. And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.

sorry my breathren but we cant help our selves to
say what weve noticed from that verses
written in the book of exodus

we just notice that there is
a question mark at the end of the two sentences from that scriptures.
Exodus 33:16-17
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us?

please correct me if im wrong sir
thank you very much

That's it. If we do as God's commands us by searching "diligently in the book of the Lord, and read" and believe it all is good for our Christian walk with Christ Jesus, we can begin to come together as the church should, and start to agree on the real truth of God, as we grow together in Him. AMEN!

there is a secret there my breathren
but this is not time and
its not for us to determine that
only the lord god our father who is good and doesnt lie

even i couldnt believed that even in the old times
they always `` into`` the scriptures.

perhaps the true word of god was also
written `` into `` the scripturess.

i guess we will also be judged according
to what is written into the book . ... :smoke:

and i never say anything that you were wrong my breathren :)
just for clarification only.
have a nice day to yah
godbless us all

No, I didn't say it in my previous post because you have read enough of my post to know my stance.
Because I say a subject is not applicable to me - does not mean I have "rejected" any learning that I may receive from said subject. There are things in the OT that I can apply but some things - not.
In so stating, you are not agreeing with John 1:1 "in the beginning was the Word." Then the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That means the Word, being Jesus Himself, was all Jesus, long before the NT was even written. If you believe in only part of Him, then I would have to disagree with your belief system. If only part of Jesus is applicable to my life, then I do not fully believe in Him, for He is the Word of God in a complete form. Nuff said.
The word is God's thoughts of his heart to all generations and yes it stands for ever. All scripture written before time was written for our learning - We learn through OT scripture (Romans 15:4). Jesus Christ came to make known the Father - Jesus Christ was sent to do the Father's will which was to speak for Him and to fulfill the OT - He has fulfilled the part of the OT concerning himself (in part) . . . His death and resurrection made available the new birth to us and gave us the hope of eternal life . . . that is THE doctrine - that is what I believe - that is why I am born again.

Now - are you endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit through lowliness and meekness, long-suffering, and forbearance? . . . Again: The seat of Christian unity is in the heart or spirit: it does not lie in one set of thoughts, nor in one form and mode of worship, but in one heart and one soul. (Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible) You wanted to start over and try to have a discussion on your thread "
Let's start all over again with the OP and demand to have a peaceful conversation of Biblical truth and edify each other as God intends His children to do."
- so I responded in kind and now you want to quit?


If you believe that is "Nuff said" . . . so be it.
