I agree. I can't imagine how a person can find pleasure in taking any life . It is necessary to take life for food and to manage our earth, but it is then not a sport. Matt. 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[...

Meditation is listed as the first discipline, and I heartily agree. There are countless verses in the OT telling us to meditate on scripture, but the word meditate is not used in the NT. Yet the NT tells us to be quiet before the Lord and to listen to the Lord. That is meditation. I agree...

If you love you will love God so you accept His word, even if you are told things you obey even without scripture. David, in the second stanza of the 119th psalm called the law perfect, it refreshes the soul, they are trustworthy, they make the simple wise, they are all right, they give joy...

Our salvation depends on what Christ did for us. We don't understand just what happened those three days that Christ died, but through what he did we can live through death as Christ paved the way for us. We can be saved from death through repenting of our sin and asking Christ to forgive us...

All scripture is for all humans, ir is explained in Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. It is not true that some scripture is for Jews and off limits for gentiles, or some scripture is only...

I think the 119th psalm and the fifth chapter of Matthews gives all of these disciplines. I think it is interesting that 119th psalms mentions meditation many times. The secular world gave meditation a bad name with their bad instructions, but doctors in the secular world know there are...

God worked for six days, it was the Sabbath God blessed for us when he rested from his work and asks us to rest from our six days of work. Christ is God, and God is with us 24/7 and we live with God's blessings, but the blessing I am speaking of is the special blessing of the Sabbath.

When we give ourselves to Christ to live through Christ, we are giving ourselves to law keeping, the best we can, we live in a state of repentance. How could we be forgiven and saved if we don't take our sins to Christ for Him to wipe out and save us? If re refuse to hear from Christ what sin...

God blessed that seventh day for our benefit. There is a well known saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth. " This gift is from a loving God who is perfect, it seems foolish not to accept the gift of the Sabbath God gave us.

We all have work we do to take care of our physical needs, we identify ourselves with this work. We are teachers, or firemen, or libarians or--------. But for the Sabbath, we are just people who love and worship the Lord.

How can you have Christ within and not "place yourself under the law"? Christ is sinless, and if we don't place ourselves in a state of trying to be sinless, we do not have Christ within. If we are looking to the law to be saved from death, that is another matter. That is placing yourself...

Genesis 2:3 "Then God blessed the day and made it Holy-----. Christ rose on Sunday, Mary discovered that he had risen on Sunday, but that has nothing to do with blessing the Sabbath. Paul spent a year and a half ministering to the church in Corinth that was made up of both Jews and gen. He...

It is impossible to discuss God but never let law into the conversation, for God is love and all of God's law is of love.

That we cannot keep the law is no excuse for not doing our best to keep the law. Christ died for us because we could not keep the law, but when we accept Christ to forgive our sins we are to repent of those sins we ask Christ to forgive.

True the law as God gave it to Moses was incomplete. When Christ completed His work and the Holy Spirit was given to all who accepted Christ, the law was from the spirit of God, it was made perfect and complete. It is now spelled out for us, we know what we are to ask forgiveness for, we are...

When the Lord asked man to obey "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". it was to help them to not be unjust, as the gentile governments were in those days. A study of ancient history comparing what gentiles thought of as good government and how the teaching of our God taught government...

There seems to be a great variety of interpretations of the word "believe". Can you believe that Jesus is capable of forgiving sin, and that is what the word means, or does it mean that you believe all that Jesus says and does?

God has many attributes, including that God is perfect. This perfect God breathed the OT and all the laws it tell us of. Christ said he did not change them: Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the law------. The rest of that fifth chapter of Matthew teof the difference in that...

Psalms 119 is a wonderful guide for saved Christians. It tells us how to live as Christ's own, how to be successful, contented and happy. It does not tell us how to be saved, it is for how to live as a saved person. The bible is truth for everyone. Being a Jew or a gentile does not change...

I don't think we can tell God that we confessed our sins yesterday and was forgiven so that is done and over. Do you really think you can tell the Lord you love your sin, now you don't have to ever confess sin and ask forgiveness, you completed that already, don't need to do it ever again it is...
