Kerwin………I have not recieved a Spirit of Fear but of Love and Power and of a sound Mind.If you do not fear God then you do not have the spirit of righteousness according to scripture.  That is your choice, choose one.Psalms 59:19(KJV) reads:Quote God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 20 2010,05:55)Hi KW, The law apples to those to whom it was given. Gentiles perish without reference to the law.Gentiles need to come to Jesus as the law cannot help them.Nick Hassan,I am not sure of what you are stating since the Law makes one aware of their sin and those Gentiles who did not live in the land God gave…[Read more]

Gollamundi wrote:Quote He was available to all who call on His name.That is true but he still requires mediators or did you not read in the law where he states the priests are to make atonement for the whole assembly of the people if the people sin intentionally even if they are not aware of their sin and late become aware of it, Leviticus 4:20.…[Read more]

Nick,Jesus did establish the central ideas of a movement which means he is a philosopher.  Perhaps you are speaking of another definition for the word philospher though they all seem to fit Jesus to some degree.  The exception being he may not be well versed in the field of philosophy.Here are the definitions.

Gollamundi wrote:Quote New heart and new spirit is something to do with God's action on human beings it doesn't require any mediatorship.You seem to be contradicting yourself since you know the Jews of today link the Messiah to the Messianic age and yet when I point out that Jesus initialized the Messianic age by becoming a mediator of the new…[Read more]

Gene,I read the rest of your post and it seems to me you fail to understand that fearing God and loving him are part and parcel of serving the Lord. Perhaps if you mediate on Deuteronomy 6 and ask God to grant you understanding it will make you more knowledgeable.

Gene,I am sorry but my time is limited so I will only address some of your post briefly. I will try to remember to address more thoroughly later. If a person obeys the law completely then they are not under the law since they have done nothing that deems them worthy of the discipline, atonement, or remission of sins. It is only the ungodly and…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ April 19 2010,13:06)They claim that Jesus was 100% man and 100% God. They never deny that he was man.That is one contradiction they teach as if God is a God of confusion. Their doctrine is a mess with many such conflicts and yet they are willing to accept it. That is not the God I choose to believe in. The God of heaven is…[Read more]

Gene Balthrop,You need to read the old testament again because it is not about forced compliance.  It is true that those who obey God also fear to disobey him but in addition the love God's law.Psalms 119(52-54) reads:Quote I remember your ancient laws, O LORD,       and I find comfort in them.Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who hav…[Read more]

I see a link between this thread and the one titled “Righteous in God's Eyes” also in the “Scripture $ Biblical Doctrine” forum. Here is a scripture I believe bears on both threads.John 14:10(NIV) reads:Quote Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the…[Read more]

If I understand you all, you are basically stating what Jesus himself does in this passage from John.John 14:10(NIV) reads:Quote Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.The difference being that this is also…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ April 15 2010,12:13)hibeing righteous is doing the right things in God eyes ,and keep doing it until perfection and holyI agree though that can only be done by the power of God that works through our faith that Jesus is the King of everything in heaven and on earth.

Quote (gollamudi @ April 15 2010,12:38)Hi brother Kerwin,I always like your honest confessions here in this forum. But please don't blame poor Satan for our human forced errors.

Quote (gollamudi @ April 15 2010,11:16)Quote (kerwin @ April 13 2010,22:57)In short the New Testament teaches us that God is a human being just like other human beings that God created though miraculous intervention in the reproduction cycle of Mary.  At most you can claim that Jesus is the Son of God just as Adam and Eve are and who both were…[Read more]
