501 | Ten Commandments vs. Galatians | Ex 20:1 | BradK | 176346 | ||
Jweaver: the quote was not mine but from the source I quoted- Bible.org! "This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?" The Book of Galatians answers your argument in it's entirety. Your argument is not with me, but scripture. Gal 5:4 "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Emmaus, Though delayed, I want to echo my support for you as a Forum participant. EdB said it well! Your posts are Biblically solid and have been consistently! I have no qualms whatsoever with the content, albeit from a Catholic perspective. I've learned much and can attest that you, my friend show your Christ-like character time and again. Whatever it is that motivates compudex to such an unwarranted attack, is certainly not in love( 1 Cor. 13:5)! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

504 | Must Christians keep the Sabbath today? | Ex 20:8 | BradK | 89623 | ||
Tuggy, Welcome to the Forum! You state "The Ten Commandments is an unalterable law. Therefore, all ten precepts (including the Sabbath) stand fast forever, and are binding upon every person who claims the name of Christ (see Matthew 5:17,18). We must walk as He walked. Disregarding any one of the ten precepts is serious offence to God (see Matthew 5:19)." I agree, yet what of Paul's treatise in Romans 4 on Justification by Faith? How does that enter in to the mix? As Galatians 3:11-13 says "Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by faith,However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.”Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”" The whole argument of Galatians 3 is that of beginning in the Spirit, are we now being perfected by the flesh? (3:3) Does not the argument of believers needing to keep the law, find its' answer in Romans 8:3-4?: "For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." You further state "While keeping the whole law is required of us (James 2:10), it does not save us." Do you propose that it is possible for a "believer" to keep the law- even though it is Christ alone who fullfilled it? Romans 10:4 states "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." I'm not clear on your remark that "Let me also note that our faith in Jesus does not negate our responsibility to keep the law of God." Do you and have you kept the law of God? My friend, the law accomplishes 2 things. It shows us how holy God is, and it points to our NEED of a Savior. If I claim to have kept the law, do I not have something in which to boast? ( Rom.4:2, 1 Cor. 1:31) As Christ is the fulfillment of the law, and my righteousness is being found "in Him", is not my mandate now to "walk by faith?" (2 Cor. 5:7) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

Tuggy, You ask "Do you believe in the fall of angels and human beings for breaking God's commandments?" Not if they're saved. Your argument seems to intimate that nobody is really saved until the end when you state "But we can win at the judgment of the living just before Christ’s return." Am I correct to assume this? As I see scripture, we've ALL been judged guilty before God (Rom. 3:19-23). In brief, the entire argument of Romans 1-3 is we are sinners and guilty before God. Justification has been provided in Rom. 4. Salvation accomplished in Rom. 5. I have been convicted, judged, and sentence pronounced in Romans. Christ died in my place! My position of sin has been replaced with His of righteousness ( 1 Cor. 1:30) Could you possibly clarify your statement by scripture that "Satan’s “life insurance” depends on Christ’s inability to have a commandment-keeping church at the judgment of the living." My friend, God is able!( Luke 3:8, Heb.2:18,7:25, 11:19) There is simply no such thing as Christ's "inability". We have been judged! Judgement predominately is future for the unbeliever (Rev. 20). There is a very specific sense that we'll be judged based upon our walk- not with regard to salvation- but reward (1 Cor. 3:10-15). I would have to call into question your choice of words in saying that "Christ can plead progress, but in the judgment of the living, He has a problem:" The "problem" is one of sinful mankind, not of a sovereign, loving, merciful God dependent on His creation to perform! Any performance, was accomplished on the cross, when Jesus said, "It is finished!" (John 19:30). Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

Tuggy, I don't believe that I misinterpreted you nor missed the point! You advocate the "believer" or Christian to be in the position of Galatians 3. We appear to be diametrically opposed in our approach to how we as believers in Christ are to walk. Mine is an advocacy of grace, yours of law. How exactly does or can a believer "keep" the 10 Commandments? I would humbly submit that you are proposing an excersize in futility and impossibility.As Christ is the fulfillment of the law (Rom.10:4), and we are "in Him", is not our fulfillment of the law found in Him as well? Is not Titus 2:11-12 our greatest motivation to live Godly? I submit that it is:-) Brother, in all honesty I must conclude that you fall under 1 Timothy 1:5-7. Good luck!

Tuggy, Come now, you keep the entire law, ALL 10 Commandments? I find that difficult to believe! Let me ask you a few questions- and I'm not trying to be snide. Do you keep the 10 Commandments? How long have you kept them? You've not stumbled in one point? Are we really saved by grace, or is it grace plus the law? I'm a little confused by your statement "They are so valid that only those who "do His Commandments" will "have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city" (Rev 22:14)."

508 | The Lord's Day--Does It Matter? | Ex 20:8 | BradK | 210518 | ||
Hello sdaone, So, are you then saying I'd be more blessed to go to church on the Sabbath (Saturday), than Sunday? Seems to me Paul said something about that in Col. 2:16-17: "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." (NASB) Aren't we overlooking the Christ of the Sabbath? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello sdaone, James 2:9-10 states, "But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all." (NASB) Is not the purpose of the law to bring us to Christ?

sdaone, Sounds like you're straddling the fence a bit? We're to keep the sabbath because God did, and keep His commandments, but James 2:10 doesn't apply? Hmmm... I'd call that selective interpretation at best! I'm not buying what you're selling! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello son of god, Exactly where in scripture do we find it stated or otherwise inferred that, " suicide is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost the unpardonable sin"? Can you provide more details, or better yet, any scriptural support? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Hello hiskid, Welcome to the Forum. As an FYI, you may want to read the entire thread to see where this conversation has been- and its' content- this past week. My question to you is, assuming you understand context, is your boundary also fixed from the Red Sea to the seas of the Philistines? I would assume all of Exodus 23 would be for today's believer? Could you please demonstate how "God has removed sickness"? As it stands, this is merely a blanket statement with no scriptural support:-) Have a blessed Easter weekend, BradK |

HI Mitch, I'm going to be as polite about this as I can, but brother, do you ever listen? Or, do you just go on making ASSUMPTIONS not based on fact and not hearing a thing anyone is saying. I don't say this lightly, but you come across like, ready, shoot, aim, my friend. You've had numerous individuals point here on this Forum point out errors and oversights in your remarks. Doesn't that say anything to you? It should. Here's what Proverbs 9:9 says: "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning." As a fellow brother in the Lord, I beseech you to be a more attentive listener. It would benefit you greatly. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

517 | God never sends disease? | Ex 32:35 | BradK | 167485 | ||
Hi Brother, Good point! I believe this question was posed a few weeks back on the Forum and I answered in part. I've since found a couple of other references: Deut. 28: 21-22, 35. I recently heard Rod Parsley make a reference to the Hebrew meaning of a word he referred to. When I checked it out, I could not find the remotest lexical support. I had to wonder how many in his audience even thought about it, let alone even bothered to check it out. Unfortunately, there is a general lack of discernment and many are blindly following this type of teaching, taking every word said as true! They will undoubtedly explain away the error:-( We are to be Bereans and search the scriptures to see if these things be true (Acts 17:13) A wrong thing said, whether it be believed by 500 or 5000 people, is still a wrong thing! In Christ, BradK |

Greetings Mike, Welcome to the Forum! Very well said. You have summed up the glory of God in a meaningful way. I too have meditated on that verse in Exodus 33 and contemplated those words. How awesome is our God! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

519 | Saved by Grace or Acts? | Lev 6:2 | BradK | 230797 | ||
Hi Bill, I'm a little puzzled by your quotation of the post of "World Scripture" regarding repentance and the related link? It seems unquestionably from the Unification church? The entire post (not cited) includes many non-Christian quotes and clearly appears to embrace a broad ecumenical theology? I'm curious what lead you to cite this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

520 | Saved by Grace or Acts? | Lev 6:2 | BradK | 230800 | ||
Hello Bill, Thanks for your response. Basically, my challenge with the statement from World Unification is that, at it's core, it's not Christian! As has been said, it may be something, but it's not Christian! The other "religions" serve another God, not the triune God of the Bible, who manifested Himself to us through the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the "lamb of God". The Lord Jesus Christ Who died for your and my sins that we could be reconciled to God through (by) His work on the cross.(2 Cor. 5:18) That's the God I believe in and serve. So, the statement itself has a tinge of truth to, but the world religions do not agree with any basic sentiment regarding repentance or salvation. Their wording may sound similar, but really is just an attempt by man to earn his merit with God. Since none of us posses any righteousness in and of ourselves, this is an impossibility (Rom. 3:23). Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Pluralism is clearly denied by scripture. No on comes to the father except through Him (John 14:6)Hence, they ALL propose a works-based salvation which denies salvation by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). Only Christianity has a Saviour who died and rose again from the grave- the Lord Jesus Christ- validating that he is in fact, God-incarnate. Repentance doesn't save us, only faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross can do that. I would not have confused repentance as it's described in the Bible with what the Unification church may believe as they're diametrically opposed to each other. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
