    Believe on the Lord Jesus?

    We all know these words or some semblance of them. Again I am not planning on getting into this but would like to hear peoples views. What does it mean to believe on Jesus as the Messiah? What is the results on a practical level? For example is it just forgiveness? is there more to the...

    How can God judge and remain just?

    I am not planning on getting into this. But was simply curious how people answer. So basically God has to judge who will be saved and who will not be. Satan and his angels got cast out of Heaven for sin. Adam and Eve God cast out of Eden for sin. All of us have sinned. So how is God...

    law written on the heart?

    I am not going to get into what law here but rather what I have gained from this concept. I will use two verses one from the new testament and one from the Old. In fact they are both linked thus the reason I will use them specifically. But before those two texts one other to begin: Heb 8:10...

    Can we overcome sin fully?

    This can be a controversial question, but the answer is none the less Yes we can and indeed should. The real question is not can we but "how" can we. The answer is only found in Jesus and the promises of God. Most fail on this point because they think about human weakness but we would do...

    Do unto others

    Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Jesus said we should do this. So if this is the law and the prophets then to teach that the law should not be adhered to at all is to teach that this...

    Why the law question is so important.

    Some wonder why there is always so much talk of the law particularly the 10 commandments. Might I suggest that the reason is simple. It is a matter of salvation and no I don't mean how you are saved. I mean what you are saved from. If you don't know what your problem is then you will not...

    Don't blame the law its you.

    Many today like Adam and Eve try to blame their sins on something else other than their own evil hearts. Today many suggest the law is to blame for sin. However this is not true the law is good as Paul said: Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good...

    Missing the mark

    You will often hear that "Sin" is missing the mark. This is true but what you don't hear often is a clear biblical view of what missing the mark means. So what does it mean to miss the mark, what is the mark. Bible please.

    Love and law

    The bible shows us clearly that the heart of the law is love: Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false...

    no dispensations concerning salvation methods.

    I don't agree with this dispensation aspect. God has only ever had one method of salvation in Christ form beginning to end. Grace by faith has always been the avenue. Abraham got it but Israel did not continue in the covenant given to Abraham and passed to Issac and Jacob. Heb 8:9 Not...

    why chat does not work for main members.

    Its real simple. We all come on here as teachers, thus there is no real listening. Some do but most do not. You can tell by looking at how people respond. Those that listen will try to address the texts that others use. While those who do not listen will ignore the texts and just post up new...

    The law is not your problem.

    It seems that many think Jesus came to do away with the law. I can see why at a glance this is assumed but let us examine the purpose of the law and in particular the 10 commandment law. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by...

    short study on the Sabbath and the new covenant.

    1. Who is the source of rest? · Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord is our only Source of rest. In fact Jesus is our Rest! Read Matthew 11:28-30. 2. What is the relationship between rest and righteousness? · Rest is the result of righteousness. Read Isaiah 32:17, 18; Romans 5:1. 3. Who is our...

    The role of the law in the covenant. Galatians.

    Many have missed some very important points about the 10 commandments. lets examine what Paul says about them in Galatians. Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children...

    strength of sin is the law?

    I have heard this used many times, it largely is quoted from here: Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. People will suggest to you that the law itself causes sin. They might not say it in...

    Sabbath sarcasm to illustrate a point and have fun at the same time. :)

    The law says: Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Now when we were under law it was sin to not keep the Sabbath as the law shows sin, but now that Jesus has died for our sin of breaking the Sabbath it is no longer sin to break the Sabbath see makes perfect sense. Let me...

    The law.

    We know that the law was to lead us to Christ: Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to...

    The Sabbath a systematic study.

    So the Purpose is simple, Study it in order and only take facts that can be backed by scripture. So you start at the first mention of the Sabbath then take only things the immediate context and things said about the Sabbath and then move on adding to it as scripture allows. Let the bible speak...

    What should we do?

    I had a friend who went to church and hated rapists and murderers like most do. But he said that if a murderer is unrepentant clearly and refuses to acknowledge their wrong, then we should not just put them in prison but rather torture them every day for the rest of their life. He felt that we...

    Judgment.

    We live in the time of Judgment right now according to Daniel and Revelation. But why is it taking so long? The reason is simple, People still have not heard the Gospel of how Jesus was Judged in our place if we accept Him we are not judged. Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be...
