1 | Are Christians to keep the Sabbath? | Ex 20:8 | Saint Luke | 164121 | ||
Don't put me back under the law! Rom 8:2 says, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death". Isn't it great news! We thankfully have a new covenant, the old is past away. If you're saved, Christ is your Sabbath Rest. No more law.....if saved, we are under liberty. In Him, Luke |

2 | Forgiveness,Repentance,Fellowship. | Ex 20:10 | Saint Luke | 164748 | ||
Lionheart, You ask would it not be proper to go to God with the same attitude of heart? In reading further in 1 John 2:1-2 It does not say anything about asking for forgiveness. It says we have an advocate with the Father, the very sacrifice that took away our sin has bridged that gap of separation between God and Man. We believers now have PEACE with GOD, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Rom 5:1 I do approach GOD with a similar attitude of heart that you described. I thank my GOD on a daily/hourly/minute/ even second basis for the forgiveness I have received. Should we continue to insult our Heavenly Father by asking over and over and over for Him to forgive the sins that have already been forgiven? Doesn't show a lack of faith, and a reason for weak believers to question their salvation? Maybe we think we have to remind GOD that he is supposed to forgive us. After all GOD is really old, maybe he forgets...... The last to sentences are fasicious, of course. Col 1:13-14 says "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." We need to get away from this attitude that keeps dragging us down into condemnation. GOD sent Christ so we can have ETERNAL LIFE, not the bondage of never getting out of the starting block because of our condemnation we put on ourselves because we have truly never relied on the finished work of Christ. I have a desire for a deeper relationship with my Heavenly Father because I have Christ in me. Col 1:27 says "to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Is there a better reason to walk in a manner worthy of our calling? The TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE Saint Luke |

3 | keeping the sabbath day holy how? | Ex 20:10 | Saint Luke | 164821 | ||
PRAISE GOD!!! You don't have to!!! If you are saved you have entered into Christ, and He is your Sabbath rest. Heb 4:9-10 says "So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His." And besides, unless you are from the lineage of Israel, you are not required to keep the Law. Read Hebrews. It shows the superiority of Christ over the Law. Luke |

4 | Jesus and the law. | Deut 14:1 | Saint Luke | 163444 | ||
Lionheart, Clearly stated below, THE BIBLE SAYS.... 1st Covenant (testament) OBSOLETE . New covenant ( NOT THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT WAS ADDED ON TO), set in place and given to us when Christ died.... Hebrews 9:16 Old Testament is gone. Read Galatians, quit putting yourself under the bondage of the Law, we have been delivered from the Law, and now live in LIBERTY. Heb 8:13 When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. Heb 9:15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Heb 9:16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. Hope it helps, Luke |

5 | Saved but not living for God? | Matt 6:33 | Saint Luke | 167763 | ||
I Love Jesus, Jesus Freak, Maybe we should clarify some terms here, instead of speaking in "Chritianese" What is your definition of "saved"? Luke |
||||||
6 | Swine eating applicable today? | Mark 7:19 | Saint Luke | 164235 | ||
First of all, are you saved? If so, you are no longer under the law. Rom 8:2 says "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death." We are under the new covenant (if you are saved) Jesus delivered us from the bondage of the Law and has set us free! In the book af Acts, peter was hung up on the same thing. Acts 10:14-15 says, "But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." Read Galatians, its all about believers who put themselves back under the bondage of the Law. We are under Liberty, provided by GOD'S grace, Not under the Law (of sin and death) Hope this helps The TRUTH will set you FREE Luke |
||||||
7 | Under the law?No. | Mark 7:19 | Saint Luke | 164432 | ||
Lionheart The requirement of the Law has gone away. The principle and morality are obviously still there. We should want to live the moral life out of thanksgiving and devotion for a closer walk with our Heavenly Father. If we sin, it has been already forgiven. If we are trying to live a sinless life and are afraid of losing our salvation, then it wasn't received as a gift to begin with was it. We have been given every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The TRUTH will set you free Luke |

8 | which nation actually resembles God? | John 4:24 | Saint Luke | 163317 | ||
In Genesis, the description for Adam's son Seth, was "Adam had a son after his likeness".... Who was / is closest to GOD'S image??? Start looking for Adam!! The rest of us are from Adam's likeness, right down to our sin nature. | ||||||
9 | Is Leviticus 11:1-12 for us today? | Acts 11:9 | Saint Luke | 164820 | ||
Israel only. Read Acts 10 and 11. specifically Acts 11:9 "But a voice from heaven answered a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy. Read Galatians Remember, if you are saved, you have been delivered from the Law of Sin and Death. Quit trying to live under the unobtainable standards of the Law! Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE Saint Luke |

10 | Christians with demon oppression | Rom 8:16 | Saint Luke | 166522 | ||
Kanchi, Just a thought for you. Which Jesus is she believing in? The MAN Jesus that lived and taught about 2000 years ago that died a horrible death, or JESUS, GOD IN THE FLESH, that died for the sins of the whole world and upon whose name, if we believe, we will have ETERNAL LIFE. The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE. LUKE |

11 | divorce and remarriage for chirstians | 2 Corinthians | Saint Luke | 164171 | ||
Evangelistit, Are you saved? If so, ALL of your sins, and the sins of your spouse if they are a believer, have been forgiven. Cor 5:18-20 says "Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God". So I wouldn't worry about the labels "adulterer" or "adultress". GOD reconciled the WHOLE WORLD to himself, Everybody has the opportunity to be SAVED. 2 Pet 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance". Your sins have been forgiven, you receive it when you believe. But that is only half of the Gospel. The other half is the resurrection of Christ that ensures you have ETERNAL LIFE. Obvious scripture John 3:16 Don't let the enemy put you under condemnation, and don't be the enemy condemning others. Gal 2:4 says "But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage". John 8:32 says "and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." The reverse is then true, error will put you under bondage. Beware of the error of others putting you in bondage, or your error putting others in bondage. In Christ Luke. |

12 | Gross or Net Income/ | 2 Cor 9:6 | Saint Luke | 165410 | ||
emt2001 There is no NEW TESTAMENT requirement for you to tithe. So don't let anyone put that bondage back on you! However, if you choose to use the the tithe as what you feel you should give, only you can decide if it should be on the Gross or Net. In my giving, I use 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 as my guide. It says, "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE Luke |

13 | how many unforgiven sins are there? | Eph 1:7 | Saint Luke | 166321 | ||
Wonbyone, The answer is NONE 1 John 2:2 says, "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" GOD'S perfect sacrifice took away the sins of the World. John 1:29, which says, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE Luke |

14 | Sabbath or Sunday | Col 2:16 | Saint Luke | 164967 | ||
Ocelot, You said "Now just suppose you’re standing before God and He asks you why you went against His will....." Are you talking about SIN? Because after all, if SIN is going to send us to hell, then I guess that keeping the Sabbath is least of my problems. Pet 3:18 says "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit" Wow, Christ died once for all sins. I can imagine that conversation with GOD. Question. GOD, do you mean my sins.? Answer. Once for ALL! Rom 6:10 Question. Even for me, an uncircumcised gentile.? Answer. Even you and all the rest of the WORLD, I have even chosen you from before the foundation of the world. Eph 1:4 Question. You mean GOD that I have complete forgiveness of SIN? Answer. Yes. The problem as I see it, is you have not come to grips with the security of your salvation (if you are saved). Your question sounds very legalistic, and if this is truly your belief, you certainly have put yourself under a lot of bondage. It sounds as if you still trying to get there by works? Abd just a small reminder for you, Isaiah 64:6 says your righteousness id as filthy rags KJV. Let's try to rightly divide the work of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE!! Luke |

15 | What say you? | James 1:26 | Saint Luke | 163535 | ||
lionheart, Sorry for the misunderstanding, this wasn't directed towards you. I was sure I directed it to "recarnier". I didn't feel I was lambasting anybody, or arguing, just quoting what scripture says. Don't need to know a whole lot about a person to identify something that is incorrect. Maybe I don't write with the eloquence of some, but why have this person continue in a situation that is out of GOD'S will (if you believe what is taught in the Word)for years and years, having this false teachings and who knows what else instilled in their tender and impressional heart until they are "a mature Christian" (which you know as well as I, this probably will never occur if this church can't see this is incorrect procedure) Do you leave a child in the middle of the street until he "matures" (learns on his own what the stop lights mean) or do you take them out of the street and teach them? brend L clearly said, "First thing I would do is pray for her...and also ask God what you should do (in prayer)." What to do, What to do...Pray versus obey......hard choice??? We already know some of GOD'S will, it is written down for us...I just provided the references (pointed out the obvious) for recarnier. I guess you are right, we don't know if this person is even saved, or has even heard the Gospel, as it is presented in GOD's word. Maybe I should start asking them to descibe their salvation experince. It may be a real I opener for me. And yes, I did read the disclaimer before I submitted. Sorry again for the misunderstanding. Saint Luke |

16 | What should I do? | James 1:26 | Saint Luke | 163682 | ||
Recarnier, In my past, I have found many churches that put me in the same position you are in. Some even say "Seeker Friendly" in the advertising. Most of those have compromised on what GOD'S word says. Sorry to see you starting to act like others in your church. This kind of behavior tends to reproduce itself in the lives of those who get near it. I've been a victim of it a time or two. Personal advice "REPENT". I agree with lionhearts admonishion about "wait". You heard something, make sure it was GOD. To be sure HE will not compromise HIS Word. 2 Tim 2:15 says "study to shew thyself approved UNTO GOD, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." That is my advice, once you find out what the truth is, do not ever waver from it. In Christ, Luke |
