I called you brother out of respect. If you understand respect you would 1. not jump a fellow poster who gave you respect 2.give proper respect to the Lords name. Only false gods are with a small g. This is simply fact. This is not about judging,you didn't commit a sin. I thought you had omitted it by mistake. Instead you jump me. Now can we be adult and discuss from here on? I understand you're being touchy because you feel attacked. I am asking to you to be clear on what you are saying. I may agree,but I won't know unless you are clear.
Well all I can say to that is my old English teacher would rap my fingers if I did not use a capital using someones name. You learn to do so rather quickly.

I believe that sin is still sin....wether a Christian or nonbeliever is actively sinning....in which we all are. When we accept Christ as our personal savior, and believe that he died for the very subject we are discussing....I cannot rob him of the victory at the cross, by saying to you that: if I sin, as a Christian, his death is void of victory
Furthermore, my actions in front of anyone, can create a stumbling block, not all have the faith to understand that nothing is unlawful to them....sin becomes dangerous at that point, it is not imputed upon me, but I have no desire to put a stumbling block before a brother and sin openly....that would not be expedient
Many believe this to be dangerous...but I find it liberating....in that which was intended to be...as Paul said, you are free from slavery....slavery was the law, it was the law that showed us what sin was....without the law, how can there be sin? I mean this by way of the mind, not by mans traditions and judgements, it is a deep thing to discuss because so many of us are in different places in our Christian life, many can be offended by a truth they have not yet come to recognize
Rightly, what do you see as the purpose of a called out unique people that became known as Jews that became a nation in a land God gave them? My take is that it was to understand who God was, understand who they were, and then to share that message with the rest of the world. When they failed, God temporarily set them aside.
All people since the garden have been saved the same way, believing in God and what He has said. The Jew believed a Savior would be sent by God, we look back and believe He did, same thing.
You’re assertion that the message of salvation is different for Jew and gentile is wrong. Now if you argue that there are distinctions in some promises to Jew & gentile, then we can agree on that.

Hi Sipsey, we are in perfect agreement...some of my postings were misleading in the sense that I did not provide much detail...I am slowly learning how to communicste in a forum such as this, and not assume to much from others....I know that no one can read my mind, and my testimony as of late, leaves questions that are rightfully exploited....my apologies
On the subject of the Jews, yes...I am in lock step with you....what has been hard to convey....is the 4 gospels, and how they apply to a message of “saved by faith” in Christ

Many churches....and I have attended many in my life....do not put the 4 gospels in context....it would be impossible for you to live the way it is written in the 4 gospels. This was Christ’s earthly ministry, applied to a people still under the law....which is contrary to Paul’s message of “saved by faith alone”
I believe I offended many through my posts earlier in my chat room career....but that was not my intention.....after reading my own posts, it was easy to see how someone would take offense....I did not mean that the 4 gospels were of no use to a Christian, Jesus spoke of endless lessons that should be applied to our life....I could no more set aside the 4 gospels anymore than I could Paul’s message whom represented Jesus, and spoke his words...but the question was.....trying to live during the time of grace, and applying the 4 gospels, which were under the law....I cannot see how this is possible and still “feels” wrong To attempt as far as self condemnation under the law goes....when I condemn myself for something Christ died for, (sin)is that not a stumbling block for the Holy Spirit that resides in me? Is that not a lack of faith that he truly died for all of my sins? Where does self condemnation come from? It comes from the law
