Hi Carmel,

But you have no reliance on scripture so why would you listen?

Hi PBTB,

1 Jn 5.7 is the spurious added verse.

A GOD is opinion.

The Word is of the Spirit

Hi Carmel,

Do you think your theological ramblings have any true spiritual credence?

Hi KW,

All God has done through men has been by grace and of the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing

Hi Mila,

The law is not abolished as you say.

If you choose to serve this master you can.

But only grace can save you.

Hi Mila,

You cannot serve two masters.

If you try to please God by perfect obedience to the OT commandments you cut yourself off from grace.

Hi GB,

Why do you SEPARATE the words ONLY and TRUE?

Hi Mila,

Entry to the kingdom is of repentance, washing in the name of Jesus Christ and rebirth from above.

God does not ask much from us for the gift of eternal life.

Hi Mila,

Jesus Christ brought grace

Grace gives the ability to obey the desire of God.

The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.

The fruit of the Spirit is good fruit unto eternal life

Hi Mila,

Jesus Christ brought grace

Grace gives the ability to obey the desire of God.

The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.

Thje fruit of the Spirit is good fruit

Hi Mila,

Are you a Jew?

These were given to the Jews.

They teach from external behaviours as God did not indwell them.

God indwelled Christ Jesus.

We can share in the blessing of the Spirit that teaches.

The Spirit will lead us to obey the commandments but much more too.

Hi Mila,

Bear these things in mind I suggest.

Jesus Christ was sent to those of Israel, those under the Law.

So he spoke to them about the Law, then perfectly fulfilled it, and closed that door to salvation.

The rich young man was given that message, and then offered a glimpse of the new covenant that we should now be under.

Hi GB,

Discussions about gods belongs to theology.

But we can know the Father and the Son in the Spirit.

Hi GB,

How did Jesus address his God?

How did Jesus tell us to speak to our God?

Hi LU,

If scripture is divine communication can we improve on it?

Hi Mila,

Seek ye first the kingdom of God.

Unless you enter the kingdom this is all hot air.

Hi A,

The striving of any man does nothing to improve his relationship with the Father.

Neither can anyone change himself.

All is grace

Hi LU,

So it is a human term added to help you interpret scripture??

Why not leave scripture to explain itself??

Hi LU,

GOD THE SON is of catholic theology not scripture.

They can never understand things of the Spirit.

But surely you do?

Hi A,

Faith is demonstrated by obedience.

Intellectual acceptance is irrelevant.

Water and the Spirit
