    1 Strike you are out Deuteronomy 18:20

    Man/Israel's inability to keep their end, which they ALL agreeded to Ex 19:5 & ""8"" is part & parcel to the overall fault. Heb 8:8 say's as much. Heb 8:1 shines light as to why, the new covenant is Better. Heb 8:6 make's it even more clear. Old covenant was conditional on man...

    1 Strike you are out Deuteronomy 18:20

    Short answer No. Two covenants: One covenant (Old) that exposes, condemns & judges ALL sin Deut 28:15-68 Find ALL the CURSES imposed for breaking old covenant laws. Another covenant (New) that pardons/forgives ALL sin. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But...

    The Vital Importance Of Forgiving Others

    John 1:16 you've been given grace upon grace. Where sin (to include unforgiveness) abounds, grace show up in super abounds (Rom 5:20). Grace is how we are saved thru faith (Rom 5;1-2, Eph 2:8). Whenever the indwelling Holy Spirit reveals sin in our life. We are to listen, acknowledge/admit via...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Again here, just my opinion: Approximate Nisan 14 timeline: Nisan 14 began at sundown. Jesus eats his last supper with his chosen 12 (7-9pm). They go the Garden of Gethsemane & Jesus prays (9pm -midnight) He is arrested (midnight) the Priests accuse, abuse & condemn Him (midnight-6am). He's...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    I'm adding my opinion to this discussion. It's one of many posted in this thread. On Nisan 10 a Passover Lamb is chosen (Ex 12). It is inspected for any blemish until Nisan 14 when the actual sacrifice was made (Lev 23:5) Christ triumphal entry begins on a Sunday/Nisan 10. He is inspected for...

    The tithe.

    Before the Mosaic Law is implemented Abraham's grandson Jacob makes his own conditional freewill vow to God: "IF GOD" Gen. 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and (IF GOD) will keep me in this way that I go, and (IF GOD) will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on...

    Requirements of Salvation

    My post said this: Repentance: Strong's Hebrews ( H7725:שׁוּב ) to turn back, return, a wholehearted turning to God. (NOTE: The different way repent translates in Hebrew vs Greek. John wasn't speaking Greek, nor was he preaching to gentiles. Gentiles had no relationship, no covenant, no hope &...

    Requirements of Salvation

    I have had other unfruitful water baptism discussions with you. Your position is water baptism is a salvation requirement. We disagree, out of respect to a brother Christian I'll briefly reply. In my opinion adding anything to faith in Christ sin payment & resurrection. Claims what Jesus...

    Living Water - Consuming Fire

    LIVING WATER John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (NOTE: Day 8, Feast of Tabernacles) John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    Webster's a great English dictionary. I think bible dictionary's are a better source for scripture. Matt 12: 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (NOTE: The Pharisees claim Jesus healing power is done...

    Is faith a specific gift of God given to the believer?

    The true gift of faith given to man is found in God's Son. John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (NOTE: Jesus received an UNLIMITED measure of faith) Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man...

    Requirements of Salvation

    Verse 1 refers to Nicodemus as a ruler of the Jews. As a ruler of the Jews he would have been well versed in all Mosaic law mandated ceremonial water purification rituals/ablutions etc. In my opinion adding water baptism to Jesus exchange with Nicodemus is a mistake. Clearly we disagree on...
