1 | Born under the law of Moses | Bible general Archive 4 | alex39 | 218019 | ||
John, Loving God means little outside of obedience. It speaks of even less. Obedience is the outward expression demanded of the inward love desired. Deut. 6:5-6. Alex |

2 | Born under the law of Moses | Bible general Archive 4 | alex39 | 218026 | ||
John, Did you even read Deut. 10:12-13? All I did was state what is already there, in the order that God chose. "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to FEAR the Lord your God, to WALK in all His ways and to LOVE Him, to SERVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and to KEEP the commandments of the Lord and His statutes..." (Caps my emphasis.) He could have arranged the words, FEAR, WALK, LOVE, SERVE, KEEP, in any order but He chose this order - and I don't believe He does anything to just be doing it - the order He chose has to mean something...

John, Thank you for your thoughts - they're not far off from my own :o) (and your welcome). Nice discussion. Alex |

4 | Is this law still binding? If so, how? | Bible general Archive 4 | alex39 | 218048 | ||
Dear MJH, Perhaps your note should more reflect the majority opinion than it does. It's the best way I know of to know whether or not I'm "obeying His commands," as we're told to do over and over again. I just can't understand why people call us "legalistic" when we try to obey God's Law. They quote Jer. 31:33 (which actually says, in verse 31, that it's to the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not the house of gentiles) and they seem to ignore the fact that way back in Deut. 6:6 He also says, through Moses, that the same words (Law) shall be written on their hearts. The two passages are talking about the exact same Law. Alex |

5 | Using the word Lucifer | Is 14:12 | alex39 | 217860 | ||
What did he (Luther) say? (Can someone translate into the venacular? I think he was admonishing Erasmus but I'm not sure????) By the way, did Luther write his anti-semitic works before or after he believed? I don't know his dates of importance, but the work known as The Little Black Book sounds like he's (supposedly) christian but he sure hates the jews, and is all for destroying them off the face of the earth. I do know that he wanted the first 4 chapters of Luke omitted because it was too jewish, so I put him in the same category as Origen. What am I missing? Why is he so revered when he totally ignores the entire letter of 1 John. That letter basically boils down to - if there is hatred in your heart, then the love of God is not in you. What am I missing here, concerning Luther and his anti-semitism? Did he not write those things attributed to him? Alex |

Thank you Doc, for explaining further the quotation you used. I was pretty sure I understood it, but... I can agree with you about looking at the times and culture of people when we read their works. We are all given different levels of understanding and light (individually and as generations) - but, how hard can it be to understand the simple words of John in 1Jn. 4:8 "He who does not love does not know God..."? Didn't Jesus say somewhere (in the language of today), "If you cannot love the guy down the street whom you can see and touch, how can you love God, whom you cannot see and touch?" I'm sorry, but I cannot make and accept excuses for someone who claims christianity and fosters hatred in his heart for a people, any people (and even more so when the object of that hatred is God's chosen people.) But I do thank you for answering me. Alex |

Hi Doc, Well it looks like you're still not going to be able to read it. That's why in my original post I questioned if he really wrote it. About 4 years ago, on the internet, was a book attributed to ML, called the black book (Type that in now and all I got was MLKJ with 3-4 things on ML). In that "book" I remember reading that he said christians should enter into the jew home, drag them into the street and beat them. I checked the first 12 pages available but it must have been removed. (I tried several different ways of searching, trying everything I thought might have been included in the meta file, but nothing but MLKJ mostly; but certainly not what I was looking for concerning ML when the searches did bring him up.) It must have been a hoax, since it is no longer there. But at one time, just googling "the little black book" all by itself would have popped up with these writings attributed to him. Sorry, Doc, to have gotten your interest up just to dash it to pieces, my bad. I think I'm actually glad it must have been a lie. Very sorry Mr Luther. As to your next post to me I don't know where you got the idea I thought the Jews are special because of anything about them in particular, other than that God Himself set them apart as His special people. I believe rhat the children of Israel (those today known as jews and those who were/are of the northern kingdom long ago dispersed among the nations) are God's chosen people. Like the bible says, not for any reason of their merits, but because of God's promise to Abraham. Like the Gentiles, they must receive their Messiah for salvation. And the church has not and will never replace Israel. Instead, believing Gentiles are grafted into the national commonwealth of Israel. Good talking to you, Doc. Alex |

Hello BradK, You stated, "Consider John 14:12 in which we're told, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." (NASB) This is not referring to 'sign gifts', but salvation!" Where do you see that this is only speaking of salvation. Salvation is a singular noun, Yahoshua speaks of "works", plural. Can you give references that back up your statement, as I've always seen this as referring to what you called sign gifts, or working gifts/ministries. Thank you in advance Alex |

David, Your brother must have the "remember me and password" check box checked "yes" on SBF. It won't matter who is logged onto the computer proper. You will have to log in specifically as you on SBF. Actually, if you check "yes" on the "remember me and password" on SBF on your brother's computer, he will come up as you if he doesn't specifically change the log in. One last time: even if the computer has been turned off, unplugged, etc, WHOTEVER last said yes to that checkbox, that's who will show up as being logged on to SBF. When you log into SBF on your brother's computer, just leave that box unchecked, then he will have to log on to SBF for himself. Hope this helps. (If this wasn't the problem, then I don't have any other ideas.....) Alex |

11 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | alex39 | 217999 | ||
Lionheart, Thank you! That's what I was thinkig too! and that Adam was created immortal as there was no death at the time of his creation. Isn't the difference that the first Adam was created from the material (dust of the earth) and the second Adam was "created" (for lack of a better term) or became (?) of the spiritual as well as the material (the Spirit and a woman's body)? The rest of the differences are self-explanatory. Alex |

Makarios, I cannot answer why the tree of life was in the Garden any more than I can answer why the tree of life is in New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:2, 14)- but it's there too! Alex |

13 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | alex39 | 218032 | ||
Makarios, On your premise that man was not created perfect in the beginning, then you must be inferring that even in the New Jerusalem we will not be in a perfected state as the tree of life if there also? Or how do you explain the tree of life in the New Jerusalem? Alex |
