“All is of God, all is by Him, through Him, and for Him.” (2Cor.11:36)

Yes, called the “ecclesia”.

Quote (kenrch @ July 03 2007,10:16)That's right:1Co 7:19  Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let me guess “that's for Jews”? Hi kenrch. Again, a mistranslation, the proper translation for the word “commandments” in this scripture is “precepts”, meaning direction. This…[Read more]

You forgot the part…(and that is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.)

Quote (acertainchap @ July 02 2007,23:53)Revelation 20: 7- 15 (New International Version) 7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle.

Not only for those who believe, but those who will believe by reading these scriptures. After all, even you would'nt believe without scriptures to read.

Not what I say, just what scripture says.

What nonsense!

Still no answer, as usual, if you're stumped, just change the subject with another question. Seems to be your method of evading the subject when you're wrong.

Nick. You give Acts.17:30 as scripture for the requirment of repentance. I assume then that also as in Acts.7:8, You are also cicumcised?Acts.7:8 “And He gives him the covenant of circumcision. And thus he begets Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. Now if you are not…[Read more]

As usual, you don't answer the question. I'll just ignore you.

I AM A CONVINCED UNIVERSALIST by William Barclay I am a convinced universalist. I believe that in the end all men will be gathered into the love of God. In the early days Origen was the great name connected with universalism. I would believe with Origen that universalism is no easy thing. Origen believed that after death there were many who would…[Read more]

These scriptures you quote, were all spoken by Jesus before His death on the cross. Did anything change after His death and ressurrection?

Topical.

LAW OR GRACE, WHICH?Is the Fourth Commandment and are the remaining nine of the Ten Commandments binding upon the Church? If so, to what extent? THE very First Commandment is evidence that the law was given only to the nation of Israel, for they only were brought up out of the land of Egypt (Ex. 20:2; Deut. 5:6) The Fourth Commandment, concerning…[Read more]

22 For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified.23 Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence;24 thereafter the consummation, whenever He may be giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying all sovereignty and all authority…[Read more]

Insight in Paul's Evangel God's Word reveals many principles-whether through the law, the prophets or psalms–which, as such, constitute timeless wise counsel. But this is by no means to say that the particulars through which certain principles are made known are applicable to ourselves, or even appropriate at all. Indeed, much wisdom will…[Read more]

Christ's All-Sufficient Work “Christ is the consummation of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing” (Rom.10:4). Under Paul's evangel, in Christ, “law for righteousness” has no place whatsoever. In Him, Paul wanted to be found, “not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the…[Read more]

To those who think they have to keep the “law”, please look in the book of Leviticus, there you will find all the laws. For God said, if you have broken one you have broken them all. Some of the laws state, you must be circumcised, you must not eat unclean foods, keep all the holy festivals, including the 'day of atonement (you must fast the…[Read more]
