    If someone knowingly chooses to believe false doctrine,

    God’s way is the way to know Him and Jesus by being in His likeness through experiencing being a doer of His character traits, which is the way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in...

    If someone knowingly chooses to believe false doctrine,

    The only way that someone forms a belief that something is true is if something indicates to them that it is true, otherwise their belief would be uncaused. Evidence is an indication that something is true. Someone. can have faith by choosing to focus on and give more weight to the good...

    A question posited concerning The Great Commission

    In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Torah was how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message that he...

    Classification of being saved

    God's way is the way to know Him and Jesus by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, which is the way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by being...

    How do you know that you love God?

    In Romans 7:25, Paul said that he served the Law of God with his mind in contrast with saying that he served the law of sin with his flesh, so the Law of God is not the law of sin and death. The Law of God leads us to do what is holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12) and is not sinful, but...

    How do you know that you love God?

    In Galatians 4:8-11, Paul addressed those verses to those who formerly did not know God who were enslaves to those that by nature are not gods, which does not describes those who were formerly following God's instructions for how to know Him (see my previous post), but rather it is describing...

    How do you know that you love God?

    God's way is the way to know, love, and believe in Him and Jesus by directing out lives towards being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, which is also the way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    I was not diminishing the value of scientific, but was speaking against interpreting the Bible with scientific precision. The middle of something can refer to a broad area that has plenty of room for both trees. In Proverb 3:1-7, we have a choice between leaning on our own understanding of...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    ] I have not suggested that Christians should be under the Mosaic Covenant, but rather I have been speaking about the way to live under the New Covenant. Jesus did not establish the New Covenant in order to nullify anything that he spent his ministry teaching by word or by example or so that...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    I agree that we won’t become perfect in this life, but our goal should nevertheless be to follow the perfect example that Jesus set for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Torah, which is what he was inviting us to learn from in Matthew 11:28-30, and which is the good way where we...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    The Garden might not have just one center point depending upon its shape, but the Bible is not a scientific textbook, so it is not suggesting that Adam did anything the math to calculate the exact center point of the Garden. If someone said that they were in the middle of reading a book, then...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    Rather, the Bible repeatedly states that obeying God's law leads to life while it is refusing to submit to it that leads to death. For example, in Romans 10:5-8, Paul referred to Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to proclaiming that God's law is not too difficult...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    A guardian is a protector, not a harsh and severe task master. For example, a child needs a guardian to help them cross a busy street until they can be trusted to safely cross it on their own, but it would be incorrect for the child to think that no longer needing to be under a guardian means...
