I think the better question would be where does it say WE are to keep it. The old law was for the Jews, not everyone. Ex. 35:1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do. 2 Six days work shall be...

Absolutely true we can be easily deceived if we don't know. That is don't know God's word. If we know God's word and follow Christ then to me it doesn't matter what comes my way. Any tribulation such as the first century endured or death or Jesus' return. Jesus warned of the tribulation that...

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put...

Why does it matter? We will all see the end of time when we take our last breath or Jesus returns. Either way, it's game over.

Yes, those who are saved are kept by the power of God. No one will snatch them out of His hand. However, if they turn from God He is not going to keep them from doing so. You have changed the conditional if to in order. I looked at several different translations and they all have the...

Yep. I just can't believe that there are those who believe two single verses taken out of context, 1 Cor. 1:17 and 1 Cor. 12:13, prove a doctrine of no water baptism. They misunderstand each verse because they ignore the context and evidence that disproves what they want each verse to mean...

I’m sorry but may I suggest there are some problems with your logic. 1) Where did Paul get water baptism from. He didn’t believe the church that was practicing water baptism. He was persecuting it. When Jesus sends him out, He says the gospel he preached he did not get from man nor was he...

I disagree with the if being a construct of themselves. Paul is writing to Christians and he tells them they have been reconciled in His body if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel . We face the same decision everyday Adam and Eve...

Sorry, I didn't say based on 1 verse. I said v.1:17 was a pillar verse. I actually see it based on 2 single verses pulled out of context. From your reply I have 2 questions. When Jesus SENT the 12 out He told them to baptize the believers. IF Paul was NOT sent to baptize with a different...

Yep, were speaking two different languages :) The verse I posted has the conditional if and the condition is up to us. Just like Adam and Eve in the garden. They lived in paradise as long as they didn't eat of the forbidden fruit. Same with us, we are saved IF we continue in the faith. I...

The way I understand being saved or staying saved is based on the choices we make. God has given us everything we need, done everything for us but it's up to us who do we choose to serve. God or ourselves. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has...

It's really simple. I don't understand how people can get it wrong.

If Sunday began at sundown and that is the first day of the week and Paul says they gathered together on the first day of the week to break bread, how did they not gather on Sunday. It says they gathered on the first day of the week to break bread. I believe what it says. Yes, Jesus...

The law of Christ and the law of Moses are incompatible. Jesus cannot be high priest under the law of Moses. 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from...

The old law was for the Jewish nation and not for us. Today Jesus is our high priest and we are under a new law.

I'm thinking about this and trying to understand your viewpoint better. How do you understand Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge?

I see the church coming together on Sunday. On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something...

I agree with you. It has always been by grace through faith. I would suggest the law one was under has not always been the same. I agree Jesus redeemed us from sin but He ended the old law by the cross. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh...

Yes. Paul had to preach the gospel but he did not have to do the baptizing. Here is proof of that. Acts 18:8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. We know from 1 Cor...

I would suggest since the context is Jew/Gentile, Peter is referring to us a Jews. Also, both Acts 11&15 are referring back to Pentecost. A good question might be were the elders present at Pentecost. I suggest comparing the conversions we have recorded in Acts and there are about 12. This...
