This train of thought is key, because what modern law 'keepers' end up doing is keeping a law of their own creation instead of the Laws given by God at Sinai. Not sure how this is pleasing to God . . . -JGIG

Actually, we are told quite clearly that we who are in Christ are dead to the instructions (law): 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for...

A good reminder for us all. We are to live well, but above that, we are to love well, as Jesus does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st3CaUMH8zI Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing Jesus, friend of...

I know that you made up the term, that was kind of my point. And it's the classic definition of setting up a straw man argument: I did understand what you wrote. And encouraged you to go to the source (Andrew Farley), which you claimed to have done, but I see zero evidence of it, based...

Yes, I love that quote - unity does not require uniformity, thank the Lord! I like this illustration: It gives a good visual about what the term 'core issues' means. So much of what's debated here at the BDL falls on the outer rings of this model. -JGIG

Click here: Hebrews: Part 13 – By His Stripes Or Ours A really good teaching on the discipline of God and the 'scourging' language used in Hebrews 12. -JGIG

Yes! And great REST. And when I'm resting in Christ and who I am in Him, sin tends to be far from my mind and heart - freedom FROM sin, just as Romans 6 tells us. Amazing how that works!

AMEN!!!

I didn't see Hyper-Critical on that list . . . -JGIG

Sounds very much like my wrist was, and yes it HURTS! I've given birth seven times - six of those times with no pain meds . . . rather would do that than go through a shattered wrist again. I actually used my labor breathing as I coped with the wrist pain in the several hours from my fall to...

20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (from Gal. 2) Who are you talking about/to, PeterJens? You throw out these scenarios about...

So . . . let me get this straight . . . You want to balance Grace, which teaches us to say no to ungodliness and live upright lives, with Law, which was given to increase sinning and is the power of sin? (Tit. 2, Rom. 5, 1 Cor. 15) Seems counterproductive. -JGIG

Oh dear. The above post is so very backwards - kind of like a geo-centric model of our solar system rather than the reality of the helio-centric model of our solar system: It turns Christianity and God's relationship with us as inside out as the following illustration turns the concept of the...

Answer and discuss, please. Thanks! -JGIG

Ummmm . . . are you really going with claiming that the messenger is being attacked (you) on this thread? Really? That's, well . . . . . that's funny! Grace folk are pointing to Jesus, Who takes away the sins of the world, and you're sitting here pointing sin back out! -JGIG

Um, no. Nice try, though, at attempting to save face even while squeezing in yet another insult. Again, I'm confident that the reader can figure out what's going on :). -JGIG

That's laughable, ISIT. Grace777x70 posts consistently point to Christ, His Work, and who the Body of Christ is in Him. Your quoted verse above, Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his strength, and whose heart departeth from the...

That's right, disciplemike, and everyone's got one :). Here's a question for you: Paul had written in Chapter 7 of the letter to the Romans that those in Christ are dead to the Law. With that for context, Romans 14 is not talking about which days are best for fasting, but the issue that we on...

Well it's a good thing we're not encountering any pagan gods or worshipping them, then! -JGIG
