I like what you are saying and I hope you are right. I have agonized over this for years. There are just some verses that I cannot get out of my mind. However, Romans is a Chapter I have not read...

I can't argue with that. I wasn't interested for 2/3 of my life but when it hit me, it hit me hard.

Peace

Sorry you are offended. My point was to show how implausible that theology is through satire. You have to admit that is pretty much what would have to have taken place for the law to be replaced.

How did you get to "there aren't any strikes"?

Maybe we will be judged by the level of our understanding of things at different points in our walk(judges based on your heart). I don't know. I do...

I definitely don't want to lie. But when I first became a beleiver, I did something that I may have not been sure was wrong but after I did it I felt the worst conviction in my spirit and never...

I take it you are convinced that the law is not applicable to anyone anymore? If the law is done away with why is it being kept during the Millennial Reign?

Zech 14:16 And it shall come to pass,...

Gee, you got me there. You are stuck on the opening act; I talking about the finale.

I didn't realize we were going to play a semantics game. The intent of my post is to distinguish between willful sin and sin that was done in ignorance. "Past sins" implies sins done before you...

You have to examine the Scriptures in their entirety. Here is a partial list of verses that contradict "once saved always saved" or "eternal life by grace":


Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion...

Remember a christain song from a few years ago:

"We fall down, but we get up. We fall down, but we get up. We fall down, but we get up. For a saint is just a sinner who fell down, but got up."...

You are missing the concept. I will repeat an example I gave before.

You are guilty of murder. You by going out and helping the poor, volunteering, etc. (doing good works) are still guilty of...

You are clearly wrong here. Messiah was asked a point blank question. "How do I inherit eternal life?" There are 3 parallel accounts Mathew 19:16-26, Mark 10:17-27 and Luke 18:18-27. In Mark and...

No one except for the Messiah "kept the law" perfectly, but if they sinned they had to sacrifice an animal to make atonement. That is "keeping the law". You strive to do what you are required when...

First let me repeat what was a problem for Gentiles who spoke the same language as Paul yet 1,950 years ago still misunderstood him. As Peter points out:


2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his...

Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of YHWH;

Hebrews...

Correction: Everyone needs to or else they will not be admitted into the Kingdom.

These have kept the commandments:

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have...

Thanks Fred. We are all in this together, no one gets a pass on Judgment Day. You would think we would want to embrace the truth. Paul sure did. After killing Israelites, he did a 360 on the...

I sure hope you are wrong.

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Ok, maybe we can agree that at some point one needs to keep the commandments.

True, but "if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness". You are covered for all past sins and sins not done willfully.


True,...

1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

The above...

And what is sin?

"...sin is transgression of the law" 1John 3:4

This is the only definition of sin that I know. So you statement could read:




Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him...

Question: In order to spend eternity in Heaven is there any other requirement other than having my sins forgiven through confession?

Actually you didn't finish this verse. The key to this verse is "iniquity". He labels those that He never "know" intimately as "workers of iniquity". What is "inquity"?

"Iniquity" in the Greek...

Don't you feel an obligation to help a misguided Brother? I do. That is why I share my views. I have a sincere desire to know the absolute truth since it effects my eternal destiny. I would think...

REv 3: 5 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his...

I want to introduce a concept I discovered a few years ago that is not being taught by mainstream churches, but is born out by the Scriptures.

ETERNAL LIFE (Salvation) and the FORGIVENESS OF SINS...

Yes, there are people who act as modern day witch doctors and control people with religion. That has no bearing on what real truth is. 2 + 2 = 4 whether you believe it or not. The Scriptures state...

Thank you very much, Arcura! You appear to you have ears that hear :)

Unfortunately there is a failure among most to distinguish between the oral law (talmud) and the written law (torah). The Pharisees followed the oral law. The oral law was a list of do's and...

Agreed. But think of it as a prisoner who receives a pardon. The murder does not have the power/authority to pardon himself; the Governor has to do it. However, after receiving the pardon, can the...

I don't think so. The key is that the person is sinning willfully. What is the only Scriptural definition of sin? Sin is transgression of the law [torah] 1John 3:4. Regardless of the context...

What are you talking about? The leaders are hypocrites. They are satanists, they feign religion to the masses. Google "Bohemian Grove" and find out how many of our leaders are actually satanists. ...

Hebrews 10:26-31

I find this passage hard to misinterpret:

26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27But a certain fearful...

Yes, there is an eternal life and a damnation. The Scriptures state that there will be a Day of Judgment and everyone will be "rewarded [punished] according to your works".

Many people are...

This is part of the lease agreement and I did not consent:

"Tenant shall not assign or sub-let or allow any other person to occupy the leased premises without Owner's prior written consent."
...

Thanks, I guess the police will know either way.

Your kidding? I have no legal standing for my own property. Shouldn't this guy be considered a trespasser? He hasn't paid. He doesn't have a contract with me or the real tenant.

It just...

Hi,
I have a tenant with a lease. He want a roommate. The roommate was to pay $300 on the 1st but doesn't have it. The roommate has moved in and has no money and is threathening the tenant. Is...
