There are other Scriptures about being born again besides 1 Peter 1:3-9. As an example, those who believe in Me have passed from death into life.

Scripture says that Moses will actually be the accuser for those who refused to come to Jesus.

I'll be ignoring you now because I don't consider just posting Scriptures a fruitful discussion. I have a Bible already.

Let the reader be able to discern for himself: John 5:39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

Great question! I asked this question myself several years ago. The answer I have now is, we follow His Spirit. Do you know you know His voice?

Once again though you ignore the Scriptures that say Christ is the end of the Law. Not Christ is the revealing of how to follow the Law. But, hey man good luck with it. I hope you are able to do enough good works, but I know you won't. Because trying to live by the Law is falling from grace...

Since by your own admission you're unsure if you're saved. And you need as many good works as possible. Just curious, do you feel continually posting Scriptures out of context in this forum increases your chances of being saved? Is that why you do it?

I know you're listening to the wrong voice. Rather than admit it, you say something like "have you convinced yourself you are perfect already?" You think I'm the problem rather than your own logic. I am not a sinner. I am righteous by the blood of Christ. That's what it means to submit to...

I'm not sure Scripture reports a political payoff. What sort of payoff do you mean? I'm guessing you mean between Jews and Rome? They did use Pilate's fear of Ceasar to force his hand.

The political payoff was they got rid of Jesus. Why did the crowd choose Barabbas? John 18:38After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. 39But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to...

You're tripping up again. Read the Scripture again... Christ is the end of righteousness for those who BELIEVE. So why does the Law still exist? It's for those who don't believe. Your cherry picked Scripture doesn't mean the Law is still in effect for those who DO believe.

We agree with the Word of God, but not your out of context philosophy to Scripture.

I'm glad you asked how is this not true. Because you're painting a picture that just isn't true. They didn't know Jesus was God in the flesh. Even His disciples believed it slowly. This idea that everyone was expecting God to show up in human form is not the case. The wise man followed a star...

Uh, what? Obviously it was in the OT. But they didn't realize it. They thought Jesus was going to make Himself a King.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might...

You're completely tip-toeing around his point. According to Leviticus, the Jews had every right under the Law to put death someone they considered committing blasphemy. Paul was one of them. He was doing it ignorant of his actions. Which is why Jesus said, "it is hard to kick against the...

We are in agreement, but why assume His commands are the ones given to Moses? There’s a massive disconnect there for me.

I also sought truth in my own life. Praying to understand things. I became a hermit with stacks of books, but then when I realized many of them taught different things with the same Scriptures, I went to Holy Spirit school. Jesus rebuke was that they wouldn’t come to Him. Even declaring Moses...

You make good points, but I’m sure you agree it’s easy to find things that agree with our statements. Government studies are a perfect example of this. Pharisees were considered the highest interpreters of the Law. And Jesus also said to them you study the Scriptures, let’s not forget that too.

Yes I agree the Pharisees also followed and taught additional traditions. Yet, this doesn't mean they didn't also follow the 10 commandments. I'm sure in their 23 volumes of books they mentioned the Big 10. Their traditions were actually their best effort to trying to follow the Big 10 and all...
