All I'm saying is that righteousness has always come by faith, both in the OT and NT, and never at any time by doing or observing the Law.

Sure. And we are not under the law, but under grace.

This verse means that Christ is the endpoint, goal, or terminus of the Law. The Law points to Christ and our need for His righteousness imparted to us. It does not mean that the Law in total is done away with, or ceases to be, because we are still to love God and our neighbor - the summation of...

I see the Bible teaching God is One. What do you think about this verse, "and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, 'You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.' " (Luke 3:22)

I think we are in agreement. Regarding our body, I don't think Jesus was flesh and blood or a man in any way from before eternity as He created those things. But that He could have been corporeal in some aspect outside of these created dimensions that we know. It's just a thought but nothing I...

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the exchanges on this topic. I'm a monotheist, reject modalism and oneness, while recognizing distinctions between YHWH Jesus Christ and GOD His Father. I'm uncomfortable with the terms trinity and persons and constituent parts when used to describe God. When...

"the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe." John 6:64b-65a. "You have words of eternal life." John 6:68b

The immediate audience in 2Pet 3:9 is Peter's contemporaries, "The Lord ... is patient toward you"; but whether or not it implies people in the future, still it is "not wishing for any to perish" and "for all to come to repentance". Since we both mentioned 2Pet, you asked earlier: Here are...

I think God created us with a will that we might choose to trust Him, to obey Him, to follow Him, to learn His ways and do accordingly; and these all leading to our learning to love God. "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart...

In that God is willing that none perish, yet some refuse to believe so as to be saved, many people have said "no" to God, no to His will. "who desires all men to be saved and to come to a full knowledge of truth." 1Ti 2:4 (see 2Pet 3:9).

And to that, I am wondering if there are any passages that address His flesh and blood being sustained; upheld as a part of the "all things."

Does anyone here think that the man, Jesus Christ, existed before God created heaven and earth?

You replied to my post w/o answering my 2 questions, and as usual redirected to something else. I do not think you are interested in discussion or dialogue, or perhaps to understand why someone else interprets Scripture differently. I will no longer respond to your posts. Please accept this...

John died a corporeal death. Do you distinguish between physical and spiritual death? - Joh 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;" not 3 conditions, but 3 factual characteristics those of His fold hear (from the heart / mind) His voice they (their heart /...

This ia a perfect example of your lying and misrepresentation; not a good or righteous work. I disagree with you because of what you think Jesus' words mean, not the very words He said.

Same thing again . . . it proves you are not reading my posts before responding to them, else you would not have posted this again. Your terms for communicating are unacceptable to me.

You need to read my posts before responding to them. I will not interpret my own posts for you, answer the same question twice, or point out things you missed in them. You do this to often, and I am weary of it. Moses and David were murderers. I will see them when the Lord returns. If you have...

No, but thanks.

Can you understand why this statement contradicts itself in two ways?

I do not wish to proceed, but thanks.
