@Gene,

You: DT, has lost his ability to “comprehend “, those thing it appears, by his arrogant, and hatred of brother PAUL.
Me: Seriously!! Are you really this judgmental? Comprehension doesn’t evade me. Arrogance, sometimes, but I don’t believe I’ve ever exhibited it here. Hatred of Paul, I didn’t know Paul personally so how could I hate him? Am…[Read more]

@Jodi,

Let’s keep going and talk about your justification of I Cor 9:20-23; why begin at verse 18, let’s back up to verse 14 where Paul tells the Corinthians he’s not going to take payment from them even though “the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.” This is suppose to come from Matt 10:10; the probl…[Read more]

@Jodi,

Response to post 946113

You: Corinth, you’re so wealthy, your so cool, I wouldn’t dare ask anything from you, but get this, ha ha, I am here preaching the gospel to you, by the backs of those poor churches, yah those idiots I make them pay.

Me: Cute! To bad you missed what I was saying. I wasn’t speaking of when “collections” were take…[Read more]

@Gene,

No where did you articulate where in the Tanakh God said man is justified by following HIS commands. Answer the question!

You: You don’t call a statue a “LAW”

Me: You are correct you don’t call a “statue” a law; but “statutes” are; what are state statutes, if not state law?

Cornell Law School: statute: A statute is a law enacted by…[Read more]

@Carmel,

Nothing in what you wrote supported why Jechoniah should be in the lineage of Jesus, especially when God pulled the kingship authority from him and said he was to be remembered as childless (no matter how many kids he has while imprisoned). This would mean anyone born after him would not have rights to the throne of Judah; AND if his…[Read more]

@Danny,

Oops, somethings wrong with your statement…

Let me fix it for you, “The NT without the OT doesn’t work.” Actually, does the NT really even work?

How can something that came before be dependent on what came after? That was from a 15 year old…out of mouths of babes! That’s like saying the foundation is dependent on the house.

AMEN Jodi and Gene.
The OT without the NT doesn’t work.

God bless

Jodi……DT, has lost his ability to “comprehend “, those thing it appears, by his arrogant, and hatred of brother PAUL.

GOOD POST, Jodi.

peace and love to you and yours Jodi……….gene

Hi DT,

YOU:

Read Acts 15:1-32 and Gal 2:1-10:

Paul goes to Jerusalem over a discussion concerning what the gentiles were suppose to do and the general consensus is the gentiles where “to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.” This was written in a letter to the churc…[Read more]

Jodi……another excellent post.

peace and love to you and yours Jodi…………gene

Hi DT,

I think you missed part of what I said because if you did I think your response might have been different, but I will get to that in a moment.

First let me say I am very familiar with Deuteronomy 30 and I would like to connect it directly to Ezekiel 36.

Notice the prophecy, God knows they will be given blessing and cursing, but what…[Read more]

DT you said…….Me: First, look up the definition of “Statute” and confirm its meaning as “a law that has been formally approved and written down.” By using the word “statute” it is assumed the reader would know and understand its meaning as being “written law”, a “law.” Unless of course one didn’t know what the definition of the word is…hmmm

DT………[Read more]

@Carmel,

Nothing in what you wrote supported why Jechoniah should be in the lineage of Jesus, especially when God pulled the kingship authority from him and his descendants and said he was to be remembered as childless (no matter how many kids he has while imprisoned). This would mean anyone born after him would not have rights to the throne of…[Read more]

Hi DT,

You: Jechoniah is listed in the lineage of Jesus (Matt 1:11),

a name that God said

“Write ye this man childless,

a man that shall not prosper in his days:

for no man of his seed shall prosper,

sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling anymore in Judah.”

(Jer 22:30) Did you catch it? Jechoniah is in the lineage of Jes…[Read more]

@Gene,

You: NOTICE Especially ……Ezekiel 36:27…..notice God says, and “Cause You” to walk in my “STATUES” , and keep my “JUDGMENTS”, and do them.

Notice the word “LAW” , is not used there, why?, because by the way “law” works , can never make our hearts right before God, Just as PAUL SAID……”BY works of “LAW”, (the way law works) no flesh sha…[Read more]

@Carmel,

The mental gymnastics performed to keep the lineage of Jesus from falling apart is amazing. Except Zerubbabel didn’t sit on David’s throne, he was the governor of Judah. Next!

@Jodi

Me: God didn’t create laws that man wasn’t able to do, man chose not to do them and has paid the consequence for that disobedience. Read Deuteronomy Chapter 30.

You: Your above statement contradicts scripture of the OT and it preaches self-righteousness which then you make us into our own gods.

Me: There is nothing in what I said that con…[Read more]

Hi DT,

YOU:

Gal 5:14 Paul says the “whole law” was fulfilled in one word, meaning the entire law, For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” I think he missed the other part of the “law” “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Thi…[Read more]

Hi DT,

YOU:

I Cor 9:20-23 I have become like a Jew to the Jews, in order that I may gain the Jews. To those under the law I became as under the law (although I myself am not under the law) in order that I may gain those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as outside the law (although I am not outside the law of God, but subject…[Read more]

DT

YOU: II Cor 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them that I might minister unto you; Paul tells the Corinthians he isn’t charging them for his “ministry” to them; he is being so gracious to the wealthier church in Corinth, but took payment from less wealthy churches so he wouldn’t have to “charge” them even though it was his “ri…[Read more]
