Youve got quite the list there! I can see clearly now! Thanks!
Yes, ladylynn is wise..... she does not just limit herself to only what one or two people might say or write. She seems to read a wide and varied variety of theological views, and determines for herself who is in line with the word, and who might be out in left field.

Takes to long to go over all of them, so I will just give you a link that talks about each point he made and rather they align with the bible or not.

Oh man this is awful KennethC., It just gives a list of what 'someone else' thinks about what he says. "It takes too long to go over all of them" apparently for that link too because they just had a longer list than you but no context... without context all there is - is "con"

God calls us to something higher. :(

Nice try to turn this around and use OT scriptures speaking on when God repented !!!

Once again what I said is pull out all of the "NEW TESTAMENT" scriptures about repentance for us.
The biblical definition for repentance for us is a change of mind from our old sinful self to no longer walk in those ways !!!

You can try and twist and say something I didn't, but it won't work because you can not compare the way God repented in the OT to how we are told and what we are told to repent of in the NT.
context again

, are you telling people to repent, and if so. why.
when was a gentile at acts 2. so ware did you get repent from. that would be to jewish at acts 2 under law.

acts 10 can you underline repent in acts 10,

and at act 15, what part of the law was given to a gentile.

even paul telling you. and to think why he spent time with spiritual gifts,

You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.










21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.Galatians 2






Galatians 5: Christ Has Set Us Free
1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.11 But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.12 I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

I looked at his list. It was next to nothing. Seemed to be a bunch of ranting with no reason behind any of it.

One stood out to me. One that not you or anyone on this forum would ever deny as anything but pure facts..... if they have read the Bible......

38-Jesus frequently broke the law of Moses to help sinners.

He did this all the time. It eventually got Him killed.

no. the Lord Jesus kept the Law perfectly in our place.
He never, ever broke it, else He could not have been the Perfect Sacrifice for our sins.

what got Him killed was the Truth He is God.

I won't bother to search out the scores of times He openly and flagrantly violated the law of Moses. You should already be familiar with them. But we can start with His healing on the Sabbath. Then we will move to the Woman Caught in Adultery.... what does the Bible say about this GO READ IT. Jesus clearly went against the law of Moses. Then there was the time He touched the leper. Then letting the prostitute wash His feet. Even eating with the people He did was a violation of the law of Moses.

There are dozens more.

I would have to agree with psychomon, Jesus was the perfect law keeper :)

Are you saying willie-t that Jesus was not perfect in every way?

post #210 sounds devilish, and we speak this by the power and permission
of God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Son.

MATT.12.12.
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days.
(this is Christ correcting the 'pharisees' - He is definitely not acting 'unlawful'.

LEV.20:10.
And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery
with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
(according the Levitical Law both parties, man and woman have to be present to be 'convicted of adultry' -
the practice was so common among the Pharisees that the Law was corrupted and only the woman was
brought to blame, but that is NOT what the Law says -
Christ recognized this abuse, it wasn't a 'legal proceeding' it was a SHAM.
of course, MOST of us know that it takes 'two' to commit adultery.

Christ heals according to the SPIRIT of the LAW and not always according to the letter.

it's up to the 'reader' to search these things out and NOT that Jesus Christ needs to be defended
for His RIGHTEOUSNESS and GRACE.

Be 100% under the law and you will be driven to Christ because of your inabilities
Be 100% under grace and you will fulfill the law by allowing Christ to fulfill all it's requirements on your behalf.
Anything in between is mixture and God is not pleased with lukewarmness. Rev.3:16

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for the second. Hebrews 8:7

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 1:17
Thanks for this! So simply put but powerful.
I've experienced the truth of these words.
I was hot, went lukewarm and got spued out, went cold and now I'm hot again.
This is my favourite verse at the moment and I pray I never lose sight of it ever again:

By Grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God lest any man should boast!

1st) He said that the Holy Spirit does not convict believers.............Refuted in John and Hebrews

2nd) He placed all law as the same and said we don't have to follow any standards........Refuted in the bible as it makes a difference between the Mosaic written ordinances and perfect law of liberty (law of Christ). Also Acts 15 and Romans 13:9-11 refutes this also, so does other places that show the 10 Commandments upheld in the NT.

3rd) He said turning from sin is not necessary...............Refuted by scripture as that is what repentance, and the fruits of the Spirit will exactly guide one to do.

4th) God does not judge nations for wickedness.............We absolutely know this is wrong

5th) The Word of God doesn’t produce faith, only the Word of Christ...........What ??? It's one and the same !!!


There are many more that he said, but I will just leave it at 5 for now and leave off with two statements he made;

"
We can’t take doctrine from the gospels because Jesus had not yet risen from the dead yet"

"
Even though the book of I John was written to the church, the opening chapter is only for Gnostics and therefore we can disregard the instructions to confess our sin"
Did you ever watch an entire sermon yourself or just a sound bite? I'm not being snarky, I just wondered?

The law didn't say one couldn't heal on the Sabbath. Their ADDITIONS to the law said one couldn't heal on the Sabbath. Heck, they said one could only spit on a rock on the sabbath and not in the dirt, because it made mortar.(making mud for the blind mans eyes)

The woman caught in adultery~~She was guilty, but the Jews did not follow the proper rules to convict her! They didn't have the eye witnesses at the trial.

Jesus Christ kept the Law perfectly. He broke many of the Jews man made rules.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Heb 4:15)

since 1Jn 3:4 informs us sin is transgression of the law, Heb 4 tells us Christ never broke it.
however we may interpret His actions incorrectly, the plain truth of Scripture must stand.

tell me, do you yet deny penal substitutionary atonement?
if that's still your position i daresay all this may not matter so much to you. :(

I am most emphatically and positively saying that Jesus ignored (circumvented and violated.... "broke") the "LAW OF MOSES" on numerous occasions.

He never once, however, violated "THE LAW OF GOD".

What makes you think I would change my thinking on that? I usually state what I believe in a way that should leave no doubt. (In other words, I don't just "quote" a verse or two,, and then stand back like I've somehow really said something so profound that the world should shake from the Holiness of my words.. I may quote a verse, but I usually will always try to say what I believe was the intent of that verse... IRL, not "theoretically.")

Do you honestly know what "The Law of Moses" encompassed? Really?

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know the different requirements of the different laws. Like for instance the Mosaic law or covenant? The Levidical (sp) law or covenant., the Abrahamic covenant. I'm at work right now and don't have my Bible or concordances at hand. Laws and covenants are also different. Am just learning about them and how they all have specific meanings about Christ and God's holiness.


These different covenants were very specific I know that., and that Jesus met each requirement not only in the doing of them but in the spirit of them. Can you tell me what the Mosaic law or covenant required Willie-T. I know that no one could go into the Holy of Holies except the High Priest and it had to be done in a very specific way. Just like all of these requirements.

Another thought I had was that Jesus could not have sinned as He did not have a sin nature in Him that would be able to 'respond' to the temptation in a sinful manner. But He was "tested" on all points. But He could not have sinned. Very interesting and major truth imo., I'd love to get your views on this. Thanks!
