    Hi - If I understand what you say - its back to 'faith' only not by works - that contradicts the passages Yaacov mentions and - Acts 15:29 - That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do...

    We seem to have come in a circle and a bit contradictory - so the law is not anulled, yes we as human nature will sin / fall short, but it doesn't matter as long as we have faith. 'Not the mosaic and levitical laws' the 10 commandments are what? so what other law did Jesus bring?

    How do we deal with Peter saying - gentiles need to keep some of the law - Paul was present and did not object Acts 15:29 - That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye...

    Thanks for your reply Not sure that God needs to 'repent' - who would he repent to himself? absolute unconditional love /grace- I beleive in Jesus as our savior - however, where's the line drawn - I can do whatever I want up to what point? If there is No Law - then how can we sin? So I can...

    Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

    Do not the below imply that some of the Law of Moses is not null / void “Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19) Luke 16:17 - It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. Acts 21:25-26 - 25...

    Im sorry if im going around in a circle - just trying to get my head around it. But - if 'salvation' is by 'faith' - and you have 'faith' - then you are saved technically. We love God but are weak and commit sin (not necessarily serious sin like murder) but if you have faith you could even...

    This issue always seems to come up - specially when I have debates with others in particular Muslims - there simple reaction is - then you can do what ever you want - kill / rob etc... why worry if you believe in Jesus you are saved - I don't really have a clear cut answer. Whats the point of...

    Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

    Faith was part of mercy and salvation in the OT as well - they had to follow the law Exodus 33:19 - I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. - Psalm 13:5 Deu...

    Hi - I apologies if I have not understood properly, just trying to get my head around things. Yes, you have to have 'faith' but if you have faith, you will follow what’s right and not wrong as much as you can (not saying that on the way we do not fault). Jesus says he came to fulfil – I...

    Apostles

    yes - they taught contrary to the Lord. My point was that only 12 apostles - anyone else who says they are an apostle are either 'false' or use the term loosely, they could be a follower, spreading a message etc... but not 1 of the 12.

    There has to be 'works' otherwise there is some conflict - James 2:20 - 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Luke 16:17 - It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. “Did not Moses give...

    Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

    This is very confusing - In Matt. 5:17-18 Jesus appears to be clear - 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till...

    Apostles

    There are only 12 'true' apostles - Rev 21:14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Many used it as a loose term to imply those who are followers - but not in the true sense / or they were attempting to decieve. Warning in Rev 2:1-3...

    Many thanks we are all brothers and sisters even if I'm unclear as to which way is right - we all believe in Jesus.

    Many thanks for the responses and kind welcome - maybe I will ask Q about things I need more clarification - rather then debate. Anyone know of any sites good for debating - I find I learn more from those who disagree then agree

    Hi - Yes - but does that make Jesus 'Jesus and HS'? Maybe I may learn and change views but everything has to be backed up with evidence.

    That's fine - but it also says the one who sent me - with respect that does not prove Jesus is God
