    Old-New (Part #1)

    I think we are entering a new age, similar to the new age brought about by Luther and the printing press. This is the darkness before the dawn. This age has to do with the glory and the power of God, as both new and old testament gives us. For 300 years after Christ, the gospel was powerful...

    A covenant is a promise. Did God cancel His first promise?

    Scripture tells us in Hebrews 8:13: By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. Does this mean that God has broken his first promise?

    Fear

    Thanks for your post. It brings new light to our lives, clearly stating that we need to know we are powerful to do all things through God who strenthens us. Our fear needs to be directed at opposing God's ways. We are children of God, made in His image, and we all have a God given purpose...

    Hebrews 6:4-8

    Matthew 19:26 - But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Luke 1:37 - For with God nothing shall be impossible. Jeremiah 32:17 - Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out...

    Is it the ‘end of the world?’ or ‘the end of the age?’

    Scripture speaks in spiritual terms, we are flesh. We do not understand, completely, spiritual speech. There are many prophecies given in scripture, some havee been fulfilled. We can look at how scripture has prophesied something that has happened, and there hasn't been one time that people...

    Is it the ‘end of the world?’ or ‘the end of the age?’

    I don't think we can determine God's plan for us by nit picking at scripture, but by looking at our understanding of basic scripture. The glaring age of our 2,000 years since Christ was crucified has to do with our views of the Jews, and of the OT. We are in the age of the gentiles, and God's...

    Milchizedek

    Milchezedek was both a king and a priest, as was Christ. He did not spend three days paying for our sin, only Jesus Christ did that.

    Regeneration

    We are taught to grow in Christ, and this is a report on your growth. Ephesians 4:15: Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ. Hebrews 5:14: But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment...

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    Christ is not a new God, Christ is God the son. Christ fulfilled redemption, he did not end it.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    The only glaring error of the KJV is the attitude toward God's chosen people that it reflects. In 1600 they were even murdering Jews, and many thought it was the right Christian way to treat them. There were at least 47 scholars working on this translation, each doing their best. God used...

    The daily sacrifice

    All of the old testament is given to us in fleshly symbols of the truth of the spirit of the Lord. All os the sacrificial system was symbols of Christ. We go to Christ daily, for Christ is the true sacrifice for our sins.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    We cannot expect perfection in any translation, the most perfect word of God is Hebrew. All the people God gave His word to had Hebrew as their original tongue, even those who wrote in Greek. They had been taught scripture in Hebrew, and when they wrote in Greek about that scripture, they had...

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    This is true today in our time of the new covenant as it was under the old covenant. If you don't believe it, try robbing a bank. This truth does not mean that there was not forgiveness of sin under both covenants. God, from the begging gives life.

    Matt. 5: 21-48. What does Christ mean when He says “you have heard, but I tell you?

    I cannot agree, I think that when God gave the fleshly commandments in the old testament, it was the perfect way for God to communicate with man as man was at that time. Moses lived at a time when the nations worshipped man made idols, and the sacrifices to those idols were to feed the idols...

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    This is so true, yet it is also true that scripture tells us God will never forsake Israel. Jeremaiah 55:5 "For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the Lord Almighty, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel."

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    The animal sacrifices are not to be made any longer, they were symbolic of Christ but Christ has come so the reality is not the symbols, but the reality is Christ. If we use animals instead of the reality, we are denying Christ. When God made a covenant with us, God made a promise. God never...

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    If there was no forgiveness, no grace, no salvation for the hundred's of years of the old testament, the old covenant, then God would not be ternal, but Christ would be a new God, a new creation. Deuteronomy 7:7-9: “The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in...

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    I feel certain each covenant is eternal. We are told in the gospel of John that in the beginning was the word. The sacrificial system was symbolic of that word, it was God offering forgiveness through the symbolic Christ. God commanded the sacrifice of animals, yet told us in the first...

    What is the difference between the old and new covenant?

    Hebrews 9:9-10 explains it like this: "This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations...

    Matt. 5: 21-48. What does Christ mean when He says “you have heard, but I tell you?

    The law under the old covenant is explained in Hebrews 9:10 ".This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial...
