That dispensation ended with the cross. Jesus was actually pointing the woman away from Jews as being connected to salvation when he said the temple in Jerusalem, the central focus of the Jewish religion, was no longer necessary to know and worship God Ye worship ye know not what: we know what...

No I haven't read your other comments on this. I click on latest post and work backwards on threads with a lot of responses.. So sorry. Per the bolded above, salvation has never originated from anything other than Christ, so I don't understand what you mean. Salvation has always been what came...

About a second or two. Are you saying to do the same with food? Whatever works. You could also try chewing real, real slow so you're eating less in the same amount of time

btw, the young man doesn't sound like a true Christian. He sounds like someone who was raised by Christian parents who were more concerned about image than righteousness and his rebellion is a reaction to their shackles. That article is just an attempt to normalize homosexuality using the...

So are true Christians who are tempted to be adulterers, murders, thieves, liars, etc. Solution? First and foremost, acknowledge the sin. Without that there will never be healing

Why then do some unregenerate people hunger and thirst for righteousness? When Christ said this no one had been regenerated. Blessed are the ones hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

It's generally accepted by most bible scholars that the last part of Romans 8:1 in the KJV is an interpolation from verse 4 and doesn't belong there, which makes sense because positionally there is no condemnation in Christ and righteousness is fulfilled in us when we walk after the spirit as...

Good to hear. Practice doing that and you will do well. I have issues with coffee too. I like the taste so I started taking sips to get the taste and then spitting it out into a cup like guys at work who chew do. Works well

Then how do unregenerate people do things from the heart that are God's will like what Christ said the Samaritan did? There is no law against such things, which means it's not sin, which is what God wills.

But the story very well could be real. That's why it's so powerful. We've all seen this kind of thing in some form or another. So if today this happened in some capacity how would an unregenerate person know how to do the will of God? Where does that knowledge come from? It's certainly not...

Maybe you need to repent of your self-assuredness and playing fast and loose with the word of God

Do you seriously think the Samaritan was born from above?

Yes, you provided verses, but they're not compelling at all

byw the above verse shows that salvation for those gentiles was not of the Jews; it was of Christ. The gentiles who received salvation at the hand of Peter didn't receive it from a Judean (Jew), but from a Galilean who was not a Judean. The disciples did not consider themselves to be Judeans...

OK define unregenerate

OK define what regenerate means. I take it to mean circumcised in heart and having received the holy spirit.

You have no evidence that Adam's sins were imputed to us. There was no covenant exchange and there is no explicit scriptural evidence. Furthermore it violates the Ezekiel verse I quoted that says sons are not responsible for their fathers' sins. Even in our unjust world it is considered unjust...

It was actually first revealed to Peter about 3.5 years after the cross. Peter was, in fact, commissioned with initiating the age of the nations by baptizing non-Jews into the kingdom of God Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in...

Christ meant salvation is out of the tribe of Judah, ie Christ. The Greek word ek that is translated 'of' means 'out of' and 'Jew' means Judean, ie a member of the tribe of Judah. The Samaritans believed Samaria was the place to worship God, but Jesus said, no you don't know what you're doing...

You said "Jesus not only performed every commandment perfectly outwardly, but inwardly as well. This is not true of the unregenerate ". The Samaritan was unregenerate who acted from the heart, and Christ commended his work
