First and foremost we should realize God counts all who have faith and trust in Him righteous, even though we all have many and varied faults. Job was righteous the same way we are, through the mercy and grace of God. The proof that Elihu had the discernment to identify Job and his three friends...

The scripture clearly states faith was the deciding factor.

These are not stand alone scriptures. They must be taken in context with Gods mercy, grace and the gospel. Cherry picking scripture to win a debate actually shows the debaters ignorance.

The Law is relevant in that it shows us our sin in that we may repent and turn to God/Christ, it always has and always will,

You mean like I did not claim you did : )

Sorry brethren, but again, there was no 24 Hour Day and Genesis 1&2 do not state that there was a 24 hour Day during God's Creative Days. The Un-Scriptural idea, that the 6 Creative Days and the 1 Day of Rest in Genesis 1&2, are 24 hour periods of Time, is refuted by Scripture in sooooooo many...

It is also incorrect to assert that believers can fully understand all of Gods word.

The subject of the text is vengeance vs humbleness and forgiveness ("doing well"). Cain chose a vengeful spirit, so it says God gave it to him, because it is what he chose. Vengeance is a great deterrent to murder but it has also fueled much anger, fudes and wars. To make myself clear: I think...

Adam and Eve did this for a while but because they allowed their fleshly nature, the serpent, to take over, they decided they could do it on their own, eating, living by their own knowledge of good and evil. Before long they...

(n) The law is done away for those who are in Christ Jesus.

You cant have an up without a down, in the same way you cannot have good without bad. God created the concept of good and bad but we actualize them and if we could understand satan is a metaphor for the man of flesh we could understand the righteous man is a man of the Spirit.

From what I understand, the Hebrew word for day is yom and there are several meanings, one being age. Then we have the first few "days" without the sun. Also , the 7th "day" is spoken of as the first six. Then in the book of Hebrew we are told this 7th "day" is today and about salvation. Bottom...

Finally, someone who gets it!!!

Jesus said in John 14, He and God would make their home or abiding place in us. I believe that is Spiritually speaking. I believe God/Christ exist outside us at the same time as in "where two or three are gathered in His name He will be among or with them". That is two heavens. Then there is the...
