That's not what I'm hoping for. I trust God to lead me through and not go through this in my own strength, for I would stumble all over my words. I've been requested to preach that Sunday by the guy who is leading the youth group. I want people to hear Christ, not the Word of man but the Word of...

I'm just asking for any help, tips, or hints for John 11:17-27 (which is what I'm probably going to be preaching on) on how to make this applicable to teenage students. Here it is: 17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem...

Jesus is better than Moses. Moses said what God commanded Him to say. Moses was merely a vessel used by God and Jesus, who is God, surpasses Him in authority.

To obey all of the Ten Commandments, you will have to sacrifice. There is a cost to following Jesus.

Christ does have more authority than Moses. Also, it says that the new covenant is better than the old covenant. I don't see anywhere in what verses you have shown me that it says explicitly that the NT has more authority than the OT.

(My two different posts got mixed up.) So, I can't agree that the NT surpasses the OT in authority, but I can agree that Jesus' death and fulfillment fulfilled the OT ceremonial laws and that we are free to wear mixed fabrics and don't have to sacrifice animals for sins.

Yes, I do. It's encouraging for me as well to know that someone (and that someone being you) is able to rationalize with logic and understanding without letting emotions get in the way while realizing that we are fallible in understanding as well. I can relate to this very well; I have a family...

Yes, I do. It's encouraging for me as well to know that someone (and that someone being you) is able to rationlize Where did he say the NT replaced the OT?

Huh? When did he say they re-interpreted the OT? He never said that. He said, "Jesus and the apostles interpreted the OT in light of the NT". And the NT will only agree and affirm the OT, not disagree with it.

I would disagree. We shall not concern ourselves with the sins of the world? We must be in the world but not of it, yes? We must concern ourselves with social and cultural norms! The norms of the culture will be to sin, and sin is a serious thing. We should not be conformed to the world. If we...

I would like to let you know that you're not alone. I tend to not lean to my emotions for guidance on what I should think and do. Just so you know. But also, how come do you think that many Christians focus more on the emotional aspect of the life of a Christian rather than using logic or...

His sheep were picked before the foundation of the world. His sheep are the elect, the ones that God has chosen to save before the foundation of the world, and the answers your question on another post you made, "Please give me the scripture that says that a saved person cannot lose salvation."...

I did in another post. God has already hand picked the ones He has chosen to save before the ages began and the foundation of the world. God will providentially save those He chose to save. God can and will work out His plan as He set it. It's not like Jesus dying for us just made salvation...

Really? What about in a year?

If Jesus was only meant for that to be for those He said verbally to, then why would He even include it in the Bible? Jesus knew exactly we were going to read this and knew exactly what was going to happen right now. Here are a few verses to support my claim: Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; Matthew...

We are all called to be fishers of men, not just the apostles he was talking to.

Thanks for the insight sir! Also, I do actually have the book and read it. But I think some people are impossible not to anger because God, as He did with pharaoh, let his heart be hardened. We both know God has an elect, and I also think it depends on whether this person is one of God's sheep...

We are called to spread the gospel, even if someone may already know about it.

Yes, we must remember we are not the Holy Spirit and that we can't change someone's heart─that's God's job. Thank you for your insight and I will look at the booklet you mentioned. May God bless you!

When spreading the Word of God, no matter how hard I try, I find it very tough to spread the Word of God without the person I'm preaching to thinking I'm a hateful bigot and getting very angry. I'm asking for advise on how to spread the Word of God without angering someone and also not veering...
