We all know these words or some semblance of them. Again I am not planning on getting into this but would like to hear peoples views. What does it mean to believe on Jesus as the Messiah? What is the results on a practical level? For example is it just forgiveness? is there more to the...

I am not planning on getting into this. But was simply curious how people answer. So basically God has to judge who will be saved and who will not be. Satan and his angels got cast out of Heaven for sin. Adam and Eve God cast out of Eden for sin. All of us have sinned. So how is God...

I am not going to get into what law here but rather what I have gained from this concept. I will use two verses one from the new testament and one from the Old. In fact they are both linked thus the reason I will use them specifically. But before those two texts one other to begin: Heb 8:10...

This can be a controversial question, but the answer is none the less Yes we can and indeed should. The real question is not can we but "how" can we. The answer is only found in Jesus and the promises of God. Most fail on this point because they think about human weakness but we would do...

Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Jesus said we should do this. So if this is the law and the prophets then to teach that the law should not be adhered to at all is to teach that this...

Some wonder why there is always so much talk of the law particularly the 10 commandments. Might I suggest that the reason is simple. It is a matter of salvation and no I don't mean how you are saved. I mean what you are saved from. If you don't know what your problem is then you will not...

Many today like Adam and Eve try to blame their sins on something else other than their own evil hearts. Today many suggest the law is to blame for sin. However this is not true the law is good as Paul said: Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good...

You will often hear that "Sin" is missing the mark. This is true but what you don't hear often is a clear biblical view of what missing the mark means. So what does it mean to miss the mark, what is the mark. Bible please.

The bible shows us clearly that the heart of the law is love: Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false...

I don't agree with this dispensation aspect. God has only ever had one method of salvation in Christ form beginning to end. Grace by faith has always been the avenue. Abraham got it but Israel did not continue in the covenant given to Abraham and passed to Issac and Jacob. Heb 8:9 Not...

Its real simple. We all come on here as teachers, thus there is no real listening. Some do but most do not. You can tell by looking at how people respond. Those that listen will try to address the texts that others use. While those who do not listen will ignore the texts and just post up new...

It seems that many think Jesus came to do away with the law. I can see why at a glance this is assumed but let us examine the purpose of the law and in particular the 10 commandment law. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by...

1. Who is the source of rest? · Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord is our only Source of rest. In fact Jesus is our Rest! Read Matthew 11:28-30. 2. What is the relationship between rest and righteousness? · Rest is the result of righteousness. Read Isaiah 32:17, 18; Romans 5:1. 3. Who is our...

Many have missed some very important points about the 10 commandments. lets examine what Paul says about them in Galatians. Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children...

I have heard this used many times, it largely is quoted from here: Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. People will suggest to you that the law itself causes sin. They might not say it in...
