I’m sorry. This is very vague. What assumptions? Are you accusing me of making assumptions about what the scripture said? Exactly how did I do that? “Base their confidence on their “assumptions” Others agree with their “assumptions” focusing on their “assumptions” I have no idea what...

I quoted the verse exactly as the Holy Spirit said it. Paul DID say… “Do not become entangled again with a yoke of BONDAGE..” 5:1 Hagar is Mt. Sinai which gives birth to BONDAGE” 4:24. That’s the Old Testament law that was given by Moses on Mt. Sinai. “We (Christian’s) are Not children of the...

I agree. However , Paul does give some warnings about keeping it in Galations. If you are keeping it religiously—because you believe keeping it will save you,and you think you must still keep that old law, Paul says “You are estranged from Christ.” And you “have fallen from grace.” 5:4. I...

Yes, there are many such “what if” , hypothetical, scenarios: “what if” a man believes and repents on his deathbed but can’t be baptized? Willl he be saved? “What if” a man is on his way to be baptized and a tree falls on him and kills him, will he go to hell? Your made up story is “what...

That last scripture should’ be 5:17, not 6:17.

Yes, Jesus said “if you love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15. But keeping the seventh day holy was never a commandment of Jesus under the New covenant ( Hebrews 9:15). It was a commandment under the Old covenant and Paul said Jesus “wiped out the handwriting of requirements” and nailed...

Perhaps what Tablet123 means is that no one had the forgiveness of their sins until Jesus shed His blood. The Jews under the old covenant had their sins “remembered” each year. That’s why they had to keep offering animal sacrifices. Hebrews makes the point that the blood of bulls and goats...

The New Testament is called “The Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ.” We are familiar with wills in our society today. We understand that if a person has a “will”, it represents his wishes for his “estate” AFTER he is dead. A person may have a million dollars and as long as that person...

If you understand what Paul is saying in Galations 3, 4, and 5, then you will have no problem understanding the book of Hebrews. These 2 books, Galations and Hebrews, explain the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. They represent 2 very different laws. The Old...

Regarding the Sabbath as it was one of the 10 commandments given by Moses: 2 Tim. 2:15 talks about “rightly DIVIDING the word of God.” When we fail to recognize the “dividing lines” in the scriptures, it always causes confusion, and leads to misunderstandings about scripture. One such...

That is just one scripture. If that is all it takes why do we have the Bible? God could have given us that in a track. The New Testament has many verses on and about salvation and how to be saved. Romans 10:9-10 is just one of many. God did not put the whole gospel in just one verse and...

Yes. Find a good “word for word” translation, not a paraphrase. Read about the Dead Sea scrolls. They have some of every book in the Old Testament and scholars have posted that they read the same today as what they found from 2000 years ago. They have almost the whole book of Isaiah ( if not...

I understand many people feel that way. However, the Bible makes a point to tell us, not by accident, that in the days of the apostles, the gospel was preached to the entire world. Colossians 1:6, “the truth of THE GOSPEL HAS COME TO YOU AS IT HAS IN ALL THE WORLD and is bringing forth...

Amen!! A great reminder of how “divine” God’s word is. These are scriptures we should all memorize and recall daily and especially when we are studying God’s word. in addition to these precious scriptures are such passages as… Matthew 28:18-19, ALL AUTHORITY has been given to me ( Jesus) in...

Jesus told the thief on the cross, “This day you shall be with me in paradise.” He did not say “heaven”, He said “paradise.” This also proves that the soul does not stay in the grave after death. It goes somewhere. Scripture says that when Jesus died, God did not leave His body in Hades. The...

Yes. Paul always tried to teach that Jesus was the promised Messiah and he used the Old Testament scriptures to prove it. Thankfully, we have the New Law of Christ conveniently put together in a book—the Bible. It’s easy for us to “ prove all things” just as Paul says in 1 Thess. 5:21.

Unfortunately, you will find many different and contradicting “opinions” on any Bible discussion site.. it can be confusing and discouraging. I urge you to put your trust in the scriptures. Read and study for yourself. Do your own study before you accept the opinions of men. Psalms 119:160...

In our courts today, “eye witness” testimony is still the strongest and most powerful evidence you can give. That’s what we have in the New Testament: EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY! In 1 Cor. 15:3-8 Paul says that many of the eyewitnesses that saw the risen Christ are still alive to this day. John 1:1...

God is loving, merciful, compassionate and forgiving, BUT… God is also JUST! The definition of justice is: “The process or result of using LAWS to fairly judge cases, redress wrongs, and punish crimes.” Deuteronomy 32:4, “All His ways are JUST. A faithful God who does no wrong. Upright and...

Sorry. But Colossians 2:12 is specifically describing “water” baptism and says that it. The act of going down into the water and coming up out of the water, is the work of God. How can you say # 3, “no water baptism involved???
