The law required a priest as mediator. Now we have a direct line to Jesus who is God.

Sorry. Not interested in Eastern Orthodoxy, which is Roman Catholicism with long beards.
You are inferring that divorce is an ongoing thing. It is not. Yes it is against God's word, but, God forgives sin. IN the topic discussion world the sin is practiced...ongoing....there is a BIG difference. If one divorced every day....3, 4 times a week, etc. Then there would be some comparison. However, that is not the case.
You are suggesting it is automatic...not true.
One must repent and be baptized to receive the benefits of God's grace which was bought and paid for by Christ's death on the cross.
If you are referring to the law I am referring to....yes...we must function under the law of God's commandments.
Please...give us some examples of the Bible...KJV...please, is wrong...?
If you plan to use one of the new age religion bibles...ignore my request.
WOW...educate me....there is no support in scriptures that says God expects man to be as Him. Are you thinking ...in our image?
That is not salvation. If those two statements were true then no earthly man would be receiving eternal salvation.
I wasn't even attempting to quote scripture.....
These are basic human truths that you shouldn't need a Bible to be able to understand.
I would suggest that he means we
a) are made in his image and
b) should we pass the 'test' in this life we get to become eternal like God.
So we get to live as God does in his kingdom but we are not God, because we will still answer to the Trinity just as we do here on earth.
"I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." - Galatians 2:21 KJV
Ahhh another belligerent and condescending poster.
"Let me make this clearer......."
Yawn
"Let me make this clearer......."
Yawn
Not true...
Galatians 3:19-21 (NASB) Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
It simply is saying a mediator was used in the giving of the law, but no mediator was used with the Gospel promise. That is because God is true to His Word.
H3no515 might be referencing Galatians 2:
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." - Galatians 2:20 KJV
The concept here is that we lose who we were and become vessels for God's work, like an obedient limb that performs as He wishes. Not so much "gods" in the concept of independent agents that have their own wants and desires, but one with God and God's will.
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." - Romans 12:4-5 KJV
Jesus did not have to say anything against homosexuality for it to be a perversion God said it was. There are many things Jesus did not says were a sin but with godly judgment and discernment, it is a no-brainer.
For example, Jesus did not say :
bank robbery, carjacking, rape, child abuse, trafficking of women and children were sins specifically BUT Jesus would never do that nor is it godly nor, holy to do. they are as the Bible calls them Acts of evil and do not have to be labeled to be known as evil.
Your comment was perverse and twisted.
for example, it is a no-brainer a man should not be with a man.
There are too many...
Basically everything it says about biology or cosmology is stupid
I get around this by acknowledging that is not the point...
Again I return to John 17:20-26 as my basis for accepting Jesus... but the book is written by men who knew nothing except God
When one has a low view of Scripture, their religion turns out something like goulash, a little of this and that till it just fits their taste.
My drive is towards the core truth, the purpose for their writing...
I hold this in high regard.
