    What if God had written IN STONE?

    A Covenant is an agreement between two or more parties. The problem was that Israel broke the covenant. The scriptures are plain that Israel broke the covenant and did not stay faithful to God. But I will make one more comment here and then I am done... Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which...

    not what it says. you should be careful... Rev 22:18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; Rev 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of...

    the Sabbath

    There is no law in the new testament concerning this... Lev 18:23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. Lev 18:24 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the...

    the Sabbath

    You are very correct here. There is a big difference between slipping and falling and getting back up and willfully sinning. This is what John was talking about... 1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with...

    what is it to believe Is it simply acknowledging Jesus enough, or does belief require us to take certain actions or steps?

    Act 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Act...

    Convince me there is non-alcoholic wine in the Bible/communion

    We have some alcoholics in our church. The amount of wine in the little cup is so small that they are not affected when taking the Passover.

    the Sabbath

    You are kidding, right? The Law that says we should not kill has become useless? The Law concerning Adultery? How about lying? The real understanding here is the first 4 Commandments tell us how to love God, The 5th one is a transition. Our physical parent but more importantly our...

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    No, I believe exactly what it says. First of all, who was the New Covenant made with? Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH— The New Covenant was made...

    Im new here. I need some help regarding 1 Corinth 11:14

    Many people reason around this but Paul is pretty plain here, a man should not have long hair. 1Co 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered...

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    Well, i disagree... Paul said... 1Co 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. Luk_4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Act_13:42 And when the Jews were gone out...

    Convince me there is non-alcoholic wine in the Bible/communion

    Jdg 9:13 But the vine said to them, 'Should I cease my new wine, Which cheers both God and men, And go to sway over trees?' Grape juice cheers God and man?

    the Sabbath

    Well, we have a little problem here... 1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not...

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    We are saved by grace not by works. God gives His Holy Spirit to those who obey Him... Act 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men. Act 5:32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to...

    You may not think about His Commandments but those who inherit eternal life will... Rev 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still." Rev 22:12 "And behold...

    the Sabbath

    Actually that is not what He was referring to... Mat 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Mat 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law...

    the Sabbath

    And all things were finished before His death, burial and resurrection? You are confusing the things that He had to complete in His physical life on earth with the overall plan of God that is not completed until the events of Rev 22.

    What are his commandments?

    What are His Commandments? Let's have Christ answer that... Mat 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" Mat 19:17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want...

    Convince me there is non-alcoholic wine in the Bible/communion

    Death is death. Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the...

    Convince me there is non-alcoholic wine in the Bible/communion

    Well, one of the blessings to be enjoyed at the Feast of Tabernacles is strong drink... Deu 14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. Deu 14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place...

    the Sabbath

    Funny, Jesus seemed to think the Law would be around for a while... Mat 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Pretty sure not all is fulfilled yet. Case in point is the Second Coming.
