"What things soever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God." (Not just Israel) "Before faith we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that afterward be revealed. Wherefor the law was our...

To love others as we love ourselves enables us to have empathy for them. When Lazarus' sister Mary went to Jesus, broken hearted; Jesus wept, knowing that in a few short minutes, she would be rejoicing with great joy as her brother stepped out of his grave. We're told in scripture that "for...

To blaspheme is to speak evilly. The difference between stumbling and falling away; is that when we stumble, we get back up. 2 Pet 3: 9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to usward, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come...

How can an unbeliever do anything in the life to come? Wouldn't they be busy wailing and gnashing their teeth while being tormented day and night, forever and ever in the lake of fire? Perhaps we should study the meaning of the Greek word for blaspheme.

In Gal 3 we learn that Abraham believed God and was accounted as righteousness unto him and his seed. This promise was made four hundred and thirty years before the covenant of the law which was added because of transgressions. Also, we see that the law could not make the promise which was by...

For the Jewish people, it'll be a remnant who'll be saved. Those who flee into the mountains as advised by the scriptures. See Mk 13: 14 and L 21: 21... Those who survive the 7 years of the trib will have until Jesus returns to repent or while they are yet standing, their flesh will be consumed...

As inquisitor quoted Lu 21: 24, Jerusalem will be trodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. In vs 32 we're told that this generation shall not pass away until all is fulfilled. We're also told that we'll live for three score and ten years or by reason of...

Jesus gave the church, the body of Christ authority over all the power of the enemy. He is referring to the members of the church, who have to be raptured before the evil one can reveal himself to the world, which I suspect occurs at the abomination of desolation when the anti-christ reveals...

If it is not possible for it to be done now-a-days, then why are we told that it will not be forgiven in this life nor in the life to come? To my understanding, this would be an eternal forbidden fruit, if you will, and by not doing it in the next life, we will be choosing the Lord; otherwise...

In the book of James, we're told, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil and neither does he temp any man. We each are tempted when we of our own lust are drawn away, and enticed..." In Mt 10 "There hath no temptation taken you, but such as...

With the coming of the New Covenant, the faithful are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and have become living temples of God. By the Holy Spirit within us, a greater than the sabbath is here. By the Holy Spirit, the Lord God Almighty lives and walks in us and in him, we live, move, and have our being.

I think of the ten commandments as representing the minimum standard, that has been changed a bit to address the intent of the heart and not just the outward act. To love the Lord and to love others as one's self fulfils the law. For example; to lust for another is now adultery in one's heart...

I agree with you, the scripture that you've posted here is the truth, but scripture in my post is also true. That being so, as I see it; the law is abolished in Christ, according to scripture, but for those who have not repented and asked for forgiveness and obtained faith in Jesus, they are...

I believe the worldly repent one sin at a time and from a perspective of personal impact while the godly repents of their collective sin, their total unrighteousness, from a perspective of how that has impacted the entire world. I was raised going to church, I but was not taught that there...

After studying how salvation works, this is my conclusion: As a member of the body of Christ ministers the gospel to a lost person, the Holy Spirit calls that person to the Lord and convicts him or her of sins. If that person responds with a godly sorrow rather than a sorrow after the world...

Heb 9: 13-15 "For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead...

Scripture tells us: Man shall live by the sweat of his brow: Hard work well done imparts a joy of accomplishment, which in turn leads to a sense of well-being. In the beginning the Lord established a seven-day week, in which we were given six days to work with a day to rest up. As mentioned...

Paul tells us that the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. In fact, at some point in the future the faithful whom the Lord foreknew are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. But we begin our journey of transformation as babes...

Before faith we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be revealed. The law is good, just, and spiritual. I think of it as containing the minimum standard of acceptable outward behavior which mankind was unable to keep. It is our schoolmaster that is meant to...

The difference between stumbling and falling away is that when we stumble, we get back up. For example, the man in 1 Cor, who was having his father's wife was shunned by the church congregation and had his body delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his soul might be saved...
