Sorry Ariel. Are you blind, and cannot read. I was just describing what Free Grace theology
holds to, not what this thread is about or anything else.
Now if that is the reason to say I have blindness, unbelief and lack of love, then you are as
crazy as the free grace movement. It does not really matter beyond that because rational
points and discussion are just not here. But may God of grace open you eyes and bless you
in His great love Amen.

Then Yeshua gave this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit but didn’t find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘Here, I’ve come looking for fruit on this fig tree for three years now without finding any. Cut it down — why let it go on using up the soil?’ 8 But he answered, ‘Sir, leave it alone one more year. I’ll dig around it and put manure on it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, well and good; if not, you will have it cut down then.’”
if anyone is courageous enough to listen to moses on a shabbat they may be given another portion that has been missing in their lives.but no, the blood lust just takes over and they ignore the Royal Law
“‘Do not be unjust in judging — show neither partiality to the poor nor deference to the mighty, but with justice judge your neighbor.16 “‘Do not go around spreading slander among your people, but also don’t stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is at stake; I am Adonai.17 “‘Do not hate your brother in your heart, but rebuke your neighbor frankly, so that you won’t carry sin because of him. 18 Don’t take vengeance on or bear a grudge against any of your people; rather, love your neighbor as yourself; I am Adonai.19 “‘Observe my regulations.“‘Don’t let your livestock mate with those of another kind, don’t sow your field with two different kinds of grain, and don’t wear a garment of cloth made with two different kinds of thread.20 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a slave intended for another man, and she has neither been redeemed nor given her freedom, there is to be an investigation. They are not to be put to death, because she was not free. 21 In reparation he is to bring a ram as a guilt offering for himself to the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22 The cohenwill make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before Adonai for the sin he committed, and he will be forgiven for the sin he committed.(LY: iii) 23
“‘When you enter the land and plant various kinds of fruit trees, you are to regard its fruit as forbidden —
for three years it will be forbidden to you and not eaten.
24 In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for praising Adonai.
25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, so that it will produce even more for you; I am Adonai your God.

Hi Stunned,
I am just praising the Lord, and am not bothered about this quarreling and desire to
define things rather than celebrate our Lord and King. What I have found is in His
presence things fall into place, we see the meaning of Holiness, purity and love
through the cross, because we find cleansing and victory here, Amen

I get regular emails from from a Messianic Jew. Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg. He lives in Israel and is an expert on Biblical languages and times. He comes from the Jewish Biblical thinking and brings interesting concepts to light. He never uses the Jewish jargon except to make a point for clarity. This poster could learn from his method. .

.....do we know yet? is it by works or not?
Romans 3
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

greek word for grace- charis- first definition -a gift or blessing brought to man by Jesus.
definition of gift- a thing given willingly to someone without payment.
so, since the very words and definition of grace is free gift, the Bible defines grace as free. you do not define it that way. so, the Bible is correct, you are wrong for mocking free grace, since the very definition of it by Biblical standards are free grace.

Hi gb9, and thank you for a clear definition of grace whereby Christians are set free and placed into God's family. Unfortunately people like LightLoveHope aka, PeterJens a lier and a fraud, will take the glorious Grace of God and crush it under foot and then insult a whole group of Christians and then he finishes his insult with LOL. Christianchat.com Moderators should take note of these insults and do what is appropriate to maintain a wonderful Christian website.
