What is your definition of Holy? My understanding would equate it to GOOD. Jesus uses GOOD to describe GOD in Matthew 19 while talking to the rich man. So this changes my understanding of the command, Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy. Are you speaking of the Sabbath as the Law or as the...

So let me come at it this from Jesus who said in Matthew 5: 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a...

This is not the first time this topic has come up. Most start with Paul's words and how works don't get you to heaven. Forgive me if I pointed a finger at you, it was unintentional. I may have been reading higher up or lower down when I hit the reply button. It seems like people avoid the...

I Have a Question, maybe more... Why does everyone quote Paul and not Jesus for this subject? I figure we would want the Masters words on this and not the Servants. Why do we interchange the words Commandment and Law? Are they the same and were they given at the same time?

Not sure If my position has changed or if it has developed, I am leaning to the latter. This is not a topic that I have really given much thought about. I find it to be a good exercise to learn. I want to keep an open mind, but not so open my brains fall out. Things I once believed have...

I personally have looked at this for me and have come to the conclusion that we should, as Christians, keep the Commandments. Does that mean that if you follow the Commandments you will have Eternal Life? No, only the Blood of Jesus will provide this. Here is how I broke it down for me...

After thinking about this more I would say that I agree animals have the "Breath of Life", however, I don't know if I believe they go to Heaven like we do. In Genesis 9 GOD give animals to Man as food. GOD goes on and says that whoever takes a Mans life his life will be required whether it is...

I did not mean to imply anyone here has done this, I apologize if that was the understanding. I belong to many forums and it is very interesting how people respond to "Hot Button" topics such as this. I guess it falls into the same category as PRE, MID, and POST Tribulation or Should We Follow...

This is a good subject... I have a unique perspective due to the fact that one of my children, although grown, is a lesbian. I find myself in an awkward position being a Christian. I know what the Old Testament says about homosexuality, it is a Capital Offense, meaning we are to stone them to...

I would draw a distinction between Jewish Religious Law vs. the Commandments. God gave the Commandments first, later came all the Religious Law. I am saved by the blood of Jesus. The Commandments help me live a good life, rules to live by if you will. I am not perfect just forgiven. The...

It brings John 3:11-13 more into focus...

Why does everyone use Paul's words to rebut the words of Jesus? I will believe Jesus every time. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:17-19 about this, then in verse 20 he warns against Self Righteousness in these things. The Servant is not greater than the Master! Paul was a Man, Jesus was the...

Take heart, I can tell you from personal experience the Sun does rise in the morning. Seek, Ask, and Knock!! Remember Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. You are No different than any of the rest of us, don't feel muted, rise above!

I thought about this a little more, I will expand a little on what I said yesterday, I used Genesis 9. I know some may disagree but I think it may be a good place to start. This is GOD giving animals as food to Man. He put terror of Man into animals for this reason. Before hand from Genesis...

How does everyone reconcile this discussion with Matthew 5? 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a...

I guess I would have to ask about the gifts because they were given after Christ's Death on the Cross. So why mention them in the first place? I got to a certain point and shook my head. 1 Corinthians 12 show differently, IMHO. I always understood 1 Corinthians 13 to say, and I am...

Honestly, I will take it as it comes..., Not even the Son know the Day or the Hour. Just watch and be ready...

Where did the white horses come from? In Genesis 9:5And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be...
