Same here, it was a simple misunderstanding, I have an habit of extreme succinctness, which can be misconstrued. Isa. 42:6- “I am the Lord. I have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will hold you by your hand. I will watch over you, and I will appoint you to be a covenant for the people...

Same to you. It is sometimes difficult to convey complex matters in short sentences.

It’s only possible when we are “Filled” with the Holy Spirit. I don’t think we are commanded to be saved, however, after salvation we are commanded to be filled with His Spirit.

I didn’t say who did it apply to, I ask, “Who was it given to.” The Israelites were to be a bright burning candle of righteousness to the pagans. They were to live according to those laws and to model a lifestyle that would cause envy amongst the world. In other words, they were to evangelize...

The question was a simple one, your answer was goulash.

So, you prefer the Law?

Nice dodge.

Who was the Law written to?

Reading any verse of Scripture without context is what leads to heresy. If it was as simple as a command, the Law would have been sufficient.

You are certainly entitled to believe any view you wish.

I always viewed 1 Jn 3:23 in the context of a command to believers, not unbelievers.

There is an infinite number of options if one runs with it. These seem to me the clearest two. It ain't complicated, we just tend to make it so.

That’s a wide paintbrush. I’m sure if you would just take a deep breath and introduce yourself, there might still be some hope of a fruitful exchange. How long have you known God?

Well, you gave it your best shot. Not every throw rings the basket. Maybe try being more gentle with those pearls, instead of using a slingshot.

May I ask why you have to be pried to express your conclusions?

If Jesus paid the price for all sin, with one exception, then sin doesn’t seem like the basis for eternal damnation. Yet Scripture says that all will not be saved. So there must be more to it. That is the 64 dollar question that divides so many religions. Either we are all saved, or there...

I have come to view salvation as an individual venture. If a Doctor comes to a patients bedside who has a fatal condition, and recommends a specific prescription as a cure, and places the bottle with directions on the nightstand beside the patient, then that medicine must be utilized before the...

I thought what I posted was fairly clear. Apparently not to some. You may draw any conclusion you wish. What I posted is a simplistic presentation, that many can use at face value, or to convolute into fanciful doctrines.

I find it interesting that throughout history, God has provided individuals in the form of Prophets and other leaders, along with a singular Savior, but that during the end times, He will provide a duo. He never gives up, but many of us seem to.

In Christianity, eternal separation from God is primarily understood to be a consequence of sin. According to Christian doctrine, sin creates a separation between humanity and God because God is holy and cannot be in communion with sin. This separation is often described as spiritual death or...
