    Retire the Ten Commandments?

    Jesus explained what he meant in Matt.5:`7 in this scripture. This is what he meant by fulfilling the Law or the Prophets. (the prophecies) Luke 24:44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of...

    Retire the Ten Commandments?

    Were the Ten Commandments "engraved in letters on stone"? If so, this scripture says they were the transitory ministry that brought condemnation and death which has no glory now. Other than that, they are awesome. lol - (the letter kills) 2 Corinthians 3:6-11 He has made us competent as...

    Retire the Ten Commandments?

    The term, "the spirit of the law" is not biblical.

    can we marry in the life to come

    That's good. I seem to remember some discussion about God having both male and female characteristics. And even the name Elohim supposedly has a strong female attribute?

    How did you come to that conclusion? (angels were created from the dust of the field)

    can we marry in the life to come

    Did you notice that Jesus didn't actually answer the Sadducees question? (not directly) But he did say they would be like the angels. In Genesis we are told that angels can procreate. What do you make of that? Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when...

    can we marry in the life to come

    On what basis do you make such pseudo-biblical claims? You have a right to your own opinions, but this scripture indicates that childbearing happened between humans and angels. Assuming "the sons of God" are angels. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also...

    can we marry in the life to come

    Right. Not the way I envision heaven at all. We can only speculate, of course, but it seems to me that the individuality of our souls is important to God. He made us after all. Knit us together quite carefully I imagine. I don't believe we will lose that. This idea that our spirits return to...

    can we marry in the life to come

    On the subject of marriage in Heaven MattForJesus wrote: "But when people are at the new earth, the New Jerusalem, the final destination of the saints, the former earth shall not be remembered, nor come to mind, for it is associated with sin, and rebellion." The claim was that everything in...

    can we marry in the life to come

    So... we'll have no idea who we are, where we are, or why we are there? I think I had an emergency room experience like that. Seemed more like hell than heaven. Just sayin'...

    Right. That's why the church is the bride of Christ. No genders.

    can we marry in the life to come

    As I pointed out, there is no mention of marriage here. Only procreation. Consider the implications. In God's creation "animals/plants" can only "produce" after their kind. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters...

    can we marry in the life to come

    In reference to this question, I always wondered about this scripture. No mention of marriage, but childbearing seems to be possible between humans and angels. Assuming "the sons of God" are angels. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of...

    Why I now have issues about "once saved, always saved"

    Yes, before anyone gets too carried away with Exodus 32:33 (or the OP verse) they should read the context. In both cases, it doesn't mean what it says in so few words.

    Why I now have issues about "once saved, always saved"

    Romans 4:4-5 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.

    Why I now have issues about "once saved, always saved"

    That's good. Those who don't believe in OSAS are lost. By virtue of their own cohosen bad doctrine. Like A. W. Tozer said, Idolatry is as simple as a wrong concept of God.
