Terrarica,

You quote Scripture like it disagrees with Scripture when you should know otherwise.

The Eunuch was taught by that he must be baptized in water and so when he saw an opportunity he asked Philip what was stopping him from taking that step. Philip taught immersion in water because it was a step to obtaining the Spirit. Paul does not…[Read more]

Gene,

You argument is flawed as there is no evidence that the word rock always symbolizes God. You can keep repeating it but that will not change the fact your argument is flawed.

Romans 10:3-4New English Translation (NET Bible)

3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

Nick,

According to Google Christians believe grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. The free and unmerited favor covers anything God does as there is nothing we can give God and no way we can merit anything from him.

In Hebrews 10:29 the Spirit of grace is mentioned.

mwebber,

I have asked God to be with you in your endeavors to find him. May your faith be increased.

Eddie,

It is clearly seen that water was taught as part of the message of gospel so why bother debating with those who read Scripture and yet refuse to acknowledge it.

What many seem not to understand is that even under the Law grace was the way to salvation but now there is greater than could be had under the law.

The Law (Scripture) exists to be “useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good…[Read more]

Lox1,

Nice verses!

That is a English Standard version so I am not certain if there is a forgotten comma in Romans or that it is a different version of grammar than I have been taught.

Wikipedia article on him.

he tracts typically attempt to persuade the reader that on judgment day, they will certainly be found guilty of breaking one or more of the Ten Commandments, and therefore will be sent to hell, unless they say a prayer to acknowledge Christ’s substitutionary atonement.

According to these words he does not really…[Read more]

Lox1,

Sounds good!

The purpose is to reveal the difference between between being under the Law and under the covenant of Christ. You may already know that difference.

t8,

The idea of living by the Law when all that you have is the flesh to live by is an impossible task because the works of the flesh are sin. That is why its written to those under the law that “.. all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;…” There are better things for those that enter the new covenant. Paul knowing this was teaching…[Read more]

God is invisible so he is known in the same way a wind is known. Jesus Christ displays the fullness of God even as believers that walk according to the Spirit display the fullness of Jesus. When two or more of the believers are gathered they will see Jesus in the others just as God is visible in Jesus. God is also visible in those…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

but the whole point of John’s gospel is that Jesus is both God and man

The whole point of John’s gospel is to set forth evidence to a sect of Jews that Jesus is the Messiah. His audience sound like mystics such as the Kabalah tradition is today. Certain people choose to ignore the context for their own reasons and so misinterpret i…[Read more]

Romans 10:4-5
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

Good luck with that as all those that live under the law has was the flesh for they were no given the Spirit to live according to.…[Read more]

Kerwin, he preaches repentance and forgiveness. That means that when we sin, we have a covenant. He does not preach that it is okay to sin. That would be misrepresenting him.

There are those that use repentance and forgiveness as an excuse for continuing to sin.

The message of Scripture is not “when we sin” but rather ” if any man sin”.…[Read more]

If you care for people you will do that even without Jesus’s teaching to do so.
