1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73950 | ||
Hi Hank, If you could point to something specifically where I am scripturally in error it would be more helpful. I realize there may be an emotional attachment to your beliefs, but we should let Biblical reality guide us to the truth. I prefer not to label myself because labels bring up to many too many negative connations. However, I would describe myself as a truth-seeker. My purpose is to, hopefully, lead others to see the scriptures in a different light. A light that does not contradict itself across testaments and is historically and culturally sound. I welcome you to the discussion Hank. Greg Boone |

2 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | CDBJ | 73997 | ||
Hello giboone, your suggestion that we should all get back under the law along with faith in Yeshua, and consequently it’s curse, causes one to fall from his position of grace; because my doing something isn’t grace it’s works. Am I wrong in assuming if I transgress any of the law, namely codex number one or the Ten Commandments, that I am a sinner and guilty of all? The answer is rather obvious, yes I am a sinner, that being the case, which of these sins, of not keeping the law didn’t, Yeshua HaMashiach not die for? When Yeshua spoke of sending the Comforter are you surprised he forgot to mention that the Comforter would confront us with keeping the law along with believing in Jesus. I would assume that you would like it to be joined to verse 9? I hope you realize that I am being factious for a reason? John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I think I can fully understand you desire to eliminate the clear and obvious face value understanding of Scripture in the book of Galatians; and I can truthfully say that I don’t blame you because of what it teaches and what you are trying to teach! Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. I am a little more apt to believe Paul’s clear concise rendition of grace and the Law then yours. From what God is telling us, through Paul in the previous verse, it would appear that you are walking on very thin ice friend. I call you friend and not brother because I am not exactly sure where you stand. You could do us all a favor if you would expatiate on your faith in Christ apart from your works at keeping the Law unless you think it is all-inclusive? In Love, CDBJ |

Hello CDBJ, You say I want to bring us back to the "law", the "law" never left. Anyone who was born again during the time Messiah was on earth was keeping Torah(law). Anyone that joined after that joined the local synagogue (they were not churches) until shortly after the Temple destruction of 70AD. Acts 15:21 "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day." No, Gentiles were grafted into the olive branch, they did not replace it. Exodus 12:49 "One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." Numbers 15:15 "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD." YHWH is not schizophrenic (Malachi 3:6). Torah applied to anyone who joined the community. Of course, they were nurtured just as a child would be nurtured until they mature. How does this verse fit into your theology? Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." One truth-seeker to another, Greg Boone |

Greetings Greg! You forgot one very important point about the relationship between early Christians and the synagogue. Acts 18:4 - "Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, ??Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.? 7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God." Paul was usually thrown out of the synagogue when he preached Christ! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

'Paul was usually thrown out of the synagogue when he preached Christ! :-)' Interesting point brother Tim!! :) ps I pray that your daughter is doing better. I have a similar situation only reversed: the child (me) is praying for the addicted parent. But all praise to our Father, for He has done great things and it's marvelous in our eyes!!
