    A question for those who are or have been married

    To clarify, there were people in that Facebook group from all over the US and some from around the world. I would have needed to fly or go on a long road trip to meet almost everyone I talked with. I was previously in one relationship where I think that things would probably have worked...

    A question for those who are or have been married

    I met my wife through an Facebook singles group. Long-distance relationships are rough, so I wouldn't really recommend it, and it probably wouldn't have worked for us if we hadn't lived 40 minutes away. We spent a lot of time messaging each other through Facebook, so once we started dating, I...

    God's Love Language

    The way to love God is by acting in accordance with His character, for example, the way to love that God is just is by doing justice, the way to love that God is holy is by being holy as His is holy, and so forth. The Bible often uses the same terms to describe aspects of the character of God...

    Nothing but the truth 👍

    The Bible says both that the Torah is truth and that Jesus is the truth, so they are both the same truth. God's word is not any more or less true than God's word made flesh, but rather he is the embodiment of God's word expressed through living in sinless obedience to the Torah. So he embodied...

    Works and Salvation

    While it is true that Abraham believed God, so it was counted to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6), it is also true that he believed God, so he obeyed God's command to offer Isaac (Hebrews 11:17), so the same faith by which he was declared righteous was also expressed as being an obeyer of...

    the Sabbath

    Hello, In Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the Law of the Spirit of Life with the law of sin and death, so he equated the Law of God with the Law of the Spirit of Life and the Law of God is not the law of sin and death. After all the Spirit is...

    Works and Salvation

    To say that someone has a character trait means that they are a doer of that trait and it would be contradictory for someone to have a trait if they were not a doer of it, for example to say that someone is courageous means that they are a doers of courageous works and it would be contradictory...

    the Sabbath

    God's way is the way to practice aspects of His eternal character, such as in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by doing righteousness and justice that the Lord may bring to him all that He has promised. In Exodus...

    the Sabbath

    You are lacking self-awareness. In Acts 5:32, the Spirit has been given to those who obey God. In John 16:8, the Spirit has the role of leading us in truth, in Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey God's law, and in Psalms 119:142, God law is truth. In John 16:8, the...

    Paul's gospel.

    Good afternoon. Those are all things that are contrary to the 613 commandments. God is sovereign so we are all under His law and are obligated to refrain from doing what it reveals to be sin, which did not change after the cross. Again, in Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all...

    the Sabbath

    In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting His law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so it is actually refusing to follow God's law that makes one blind to the New Covenant. All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160), so they do not change. It is not the...

    the Sabbath

    Jesus set a perfect example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to God's law and in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus was inviting people to come to him for rest and to learn from him, not inviting people to rest from learning from him. Moreover, by Jesus saying that we would find rest for our...

    the Sabbath

    So the whole world is under God's law and is ob ligated to obey it, which includes the command to keep the 7th day holy. Someone who disregarded everything that their schoolmaster taught them after they graduated would be missing the whole point of a schoolmaster. God's law brings us to Christ...

    the Sabbath

    In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from God's law, we do not have the authority to make changes to it by saying that we are going to do something else instead of obeying what God commanded. In Mark 7:6-9, Jesus criticized the Pharisees as being hypocrites for setting aside...

    The Son is the exact image of God's character (Hebrews 1:3), so he is holiness, righteousness, goodness, justice, mercy, faithfulness, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control, and so forth expressed through setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the...

    Paul's gospel.

    In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the...

    A covenant is a promise. Did God cancel His first promise?

    In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting God's law in our minds and writing it on our hearts. In Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey God's law. In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, it says that God's law is not too difficult to obey and obedience to it brings...
