I understand your position on the 'Law' of Moses and I agree. I also understand your position on Romans 2 already, and knowing more about your position based on previous discussions, I know now that you are not saying that we are NOT justified by faith. I guess I am just trying to understand...
Lately I've been trying to learn about Hospitality, and praying that God would teach me and help me obey. Since that time it has dawned on me, more than ever before, that this isn't just something we should do as entertainment, or for fellowship, but God commands it of every believer.
He...
Drew, you said good works are 'general good moral actions'. I would define good works as following the Love laws, and we know love fulfills the law, and while I think it would include 'general good moral actions', it seems like it may be more than that too...like Godly sincere loving...
Our accounts....
I recently heard a brother explain why he did not believe in Limited Atonement, and I thought I would try to share it here and see what others may think.
As sinners we had an account that was loaded with debt...sin debt. That account was full for every person, but then...
It's Scriptural to avoid vain and silly disputes because they are works of the flesh and motivated by pride, but in the same breath we are to be jealous for the truth, be ready to given an answer, and contend for sound doctrine on behalf of the church and not allow false teaching to abound...
This thread reminds me of Galatians 5:19-26 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such...
Just praying for you right now. I don't know what God's plan is, and sometimes we never really know the why...but then down the road we can look back and see that God used that time to grow us and to make us more like Christ. These trials you're facing are difficult to endure, so painful, but...
Jeff,
That makes sense to me, the crushing of self-righteousness and finding a deeper understanding of who God is and love. The fear of the Lord is just the beginning, and I do see Job's fear...that was what seemed to keep him going through the process without turning on God...He knew that...
I am not sure, but I think you are a non-believer. If that's the case, then the statements you're making can't be true...God can't be cruel if He doesn't exist. If the God of the Bible is and knows all, then it also must be viewed in the framework of eternity. What satan and man intend for...
I'm not sure what the answer is. I think Job's faith in what God says, and his knowledge of who God is, encourages him to have the integrity to hold fast and accept God's will because He has an eternal perspective based on God's word....he knows that his Redeemer lives and that though he may die...
