Tim Kraft………The Key is, obedience (UNDER THE WORKS OF LAW) THE definite article  (THE) was added to the text, go look it up in an original Greek translation and you will not find the word (the) there. That changes the whole meaning of what Paul was saying, Let me try to explain it to you, LAW (works) only  through the medium of fear and is a…[Read more]

To All………..This thread is “the holy spirit: a separate person or…. No Holy spirit is (NOT) a seperate (person) in fact it is not a person at all, It is Pure INTELLECT and is poured out upon People from GOD Himself. GOD himself is SPIRIT Jesus said, Therefore it says (I) shall pour forth of (MY) Spirit upon all people and your sons and…[Read more]

942767……….Where does it say a man or woman can't go into a bar or pub and have a drink, So what if others get offended they shouldn't be so arrogant in the first place. Peter said these men are not drunk as you (Supose) seening it is the ninth hour (9:00) to earlt , but that is not to say later they didn't have a little right, it was just…[Read more]

Kerwin……I think the saying of HIs own People is where i got the Idea He meant from his own tribe. I could be wrong though. So I can not conclusively say Mary and Elisabeth were of Livital descents. Thanks Kerwin wasn't sure. Good discussion you and Adam are having through. Kerwin i still believe Adam has some strong point from a Jewish…[Read more]

Kerwin………If Mary and Elizabeth are cousins, then they most likely were of the Levitus tribe. Because the Levites were prohibited from marring out side of there tribe, as i recall. Adam and you both are making some good posts. I agree with Adam on the Virgin quotation in Isiahi through, the word there is young woman not Virgin and it does…[Read more]

Thinker ………Who is talking about the Levitical codes, I am talking about the (TEN COMMANDMENT) and it does say (the) Laws meaning the commandments are SPIRITUAL. Don't understand why you want to change subject matter. Jesus said to Keep the commandments, if you will enter into life, it him your going against not me. GOD word and work is not…[Read more]

Marty…..The biggest problem i see in “Christianity” is people not Knowing what the meaning of the word SPIRIT really is. The understanding of this solves a Host of problems. It is simply intellect Human or GODLY it's still just intellect of minds> LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU THAT WAS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. We are Changed when this Spirit…[Read more]

CT………..Have a technical question to ask of you, can you check out where it says we are not (Justified) by (works) of (THE) law. Please notice the definite article (THE) is not in the original Greek text. This to me changes the whole meaning of that sentence . If by the work of Law (what does that mean?), Law is as i understand it (FORCED…[Read more]

Quote (Constitutionalist @ Oct. 15 2009,10:04)Is baptism required for salvation?”What must I do to be saved?” The question receives a different answer in every conceivable religious faith, and in this essay, we will pursue a single question: What is the Biblical view of the relationship between faith and works? Christian apologists rightly point…[Read more]

Kerwin…………I agree Jesus did not abolish the commandments of GOD , but told us to keep them just as He did, by the SPIRIT of GOD in US as it was in HIM also. Jesus plainly said if you will enter into the Kingdom Keep the commandments of GOD. The question should never be should we keep them, but How we keep them. IMOgene

WJ and thinker…….If the commandments of God are done away with, why does it Say, “the gentiles who have not the law (BUT) do the things contained in them , Show the LAW Written on their Heart by the Hand of GOD”. This seem to show the commandments are not done away with, but enforced in our thinking by GOD Himself through His Spirit. If we say…[Read more]

WJ………I think you turning it into a teaching tool for Christ is both wise and good. Legalism can be a definite problem for all of us. But Halloween is not about clean and unclean foods. It about vain customs of People and there origins and practices, some little childern are horrified at these things. Its all about evil things and mysterious…[Read more]

I know its harder with the kids and all when everyone else is doing it. When i first started not celebrating Christmas years ago and my Kids were little, they were all…[Read more]

WJ…….The lord used clean and unclean food because it was something Peter full well understood, and obeyed, He knew GOD full well made a distinction between what was clean and the unclean , and in fact that still exists. But what GOD has cleansed is no longer unclean and the is the point. This whole episode had to do with HUMAN Kind (NOT)…[Read more]

Thinker………..> why can't you see that, Peter was being shown to not call any Man common or unclean. That whole episode had nothing to do with clean and unclean meats at all. Just that who GOD cleans (humanely speaking) is clean, it is talking about Human beings, nothing else. WE can justify anything if we put our minds, i know i have done it…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Oct. 15 2009,07:02)I offer this scripture and a double-barrelled question.Ephesians 5:1-111Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. 3But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even…[Read more]

WJ……….. Irene going to church has nothing to do with what Kathi was talking about, Who are you to cast Judgment on IRENE , Why should she go to any Church and listen to a bunch of FALSE teachings and put on a happy face and fellowship in ignorance of truth and support a lying religion, by advancing it falsehood. WE are told to entreat the…[Read more]
