Hi Genez, certainly you did not quoted Galatians 5:18 with the intention of saying we do not need the law but I will reply as if you intended it for others who might read this and think so, it would mean. Galatians 5:18 is being lifted out of its own chapter to say something Paul never...
Nothing is secret to the Lord he sees us as we are and nothing is hidden from him ever. but your conclusion is correct :"hears, keeps, and bears fruit in the end is saved."
You have set up a straw man and rebuked it well, but it is not the argument on the table, and worse, your own proof text undoes your case.
You say "the good soil is simply the heart that receives and bears fruit" as though reception and endurance are the same thing, and that anyone who "sees...
Paul Never Called the Law a Curse. Read Him Again.
A common reading going around is that Paul taught the Law itself is a curse, something we were redeemed from in the sense of being freed from a bad thing. But if you follow Paul's own argument instead of stopping at a proof text, he says the...
Brother Drich,
This is well said, and I want to add to it, because the objection so many have "we already know Jesus, we're saved forever" is exactly the objection Jesus Himself answers in Matthew 7 — the very people He turns away say "Lord, Lord." They are not strangers to the name. They...
you displayed your profession of faith the usual one learned in school when we are young, but Gideon you are lacking, missing a core element and don't even see it , You are not the only one in this situation. Jesus is warning that a verbal profession of faith is not proof of a true...
To all Skeptics who love to point at this one: Scripture calls Jesus sinless, yet says He "became sin." So which is it?
The answer doesn't start in 2 Corinthians. It starts back in Exodus and Leviticus. Under the Law, a sacrifice had to be without blemish. Exodus 12:5 says the Passover lamb...
Gideon, you who distribute bibles but do not know what is written in these books
where is the ark of the covenant ? search the word ARK in the book of revelations and see ! you don't understand a thing Gideon stop pretending you do and get reading all of it please here is a hint;
the law...
In your opinion, and using your own definition of legalism, was Jesus our Lord a legalist when He said, “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matthew 19:17), and, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15)?
easy take commandment 4 the sabbath if you take the 2 greatest commandments and keep those fine but will you know about the sabbath, and another, not to take the name of the Lord in vain? some we can guess, for instance murder, adultery but some need to be known.
As the statement(s) of Jesus he...
yes it does change what was written on stone was the ten commandments that GOD declared the Covenant. the rest was OUTSIDE the ark of the COVENANT.
Jesus changed everything, the New covenant changed everything, live with it.
