It appears so to me....

I agree with your post but do not fully understand everything you say. You say "...under the law sins were only covered". I'm not sure I understand what that means. I'm also not sure what you mean with the statement that grace, "...excludes the works of the law". I am not supporting...

My comments were directed to the interpretations presented in various Bible versions and how those are often twisted. The point of the post is the marginalization of Gods word in the first testament. The implication that YHWH is a cold, calculated, unmerciful law giver is simply wrong...

We all know about the, “Father of Lies” and how good he is at his craft. We underestimate him at our peril. His most effective strategy is to use God’s own words to deceive. One of the passages he twists to separate us from God is John 1:17: “For the law was given by Moses, but...

There is a very good book written by Ann Wroe titled Pontius Pilate. Which goes into great detail about the life of Pilate and his rule in Judaea. I don't think there is any question about your conclusion.

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. (KJV)

I fell in love with this poem a few years ago. I also found it interesting that in the early schools in the US students were taught to read with this poem and nearly every student knew it by heart.

Welcome to CC New Reinhard, praise Him you are here with a changed heart and redeemed soul. I am looking forward to hearing from you around the forums.

This prayer is in Deuteronomy Ch. 21. This may be one of the most significant prayers for our times: 7. And they shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. 8. Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not...

Welcome to CC Ketura.

There is much more to this issue than a Chinese Balloon. First, are we to believe that a balloon, and remember this thing is huge, could possible invade our sovereign airspace without our prior knowledge? This item is perfectly capable of carrying a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon that...

I have no issue with Mr. Bonhoeffer at all. He was the one voice clearly heard in opposition to the Nazi regime. He spoke publicly, and repeatedly in opposition to Hitler's policies. He actually made trips to the US to address the churches response to what was happening in Europe. For the...

I did not intend my message to be indirect.

A few facts from the American Holocaust Museum: There were 44,000 concentration camps operated by the Nazi political régime between 1933 and 1945 There were more than 18,000,000 deaths in those camps including: @ 6,000,000 Jews @ 5,700,000 Soviet Civilians @ 3,000,000...

I'm not so sure the protestant church likes to remember Bonhoeffer. It makes them uncomfortable. Thanks for bringing this forward.

Reading glasses, skilled surgeons and cookies.....

I love what you have written. Being pulled away and out of the world is a strange but real feeling. Things previously enjoyed diminish while other things just become repulsive over time, parts of the past included.

"Is it possible that the last 10 years that i was living in sin have broken me to a point of no return?" No! Nope! It is amazing, it is true and it is hard to grasp with our minds, but no one is beyond the reach of our Lord. There are people in the Bible who were in way deeper than you...

Welcome to CC Esteban99. There are some great conversations here. I am sure you will receive blessings from the thoughts and prayers you find. Many of us started slow and cautiously. I do hope that as you browse and read topics on the forums you will find places to join in on the...
