1 | Seventh Day Sabbath | Ex 20:10 | Saint Luke | 164592 | ||
Anhill05 I tell you that the law was not done away with at Calvary? Book, Chapter and Verse please! And while you are at it, read Galatians! Please clarify your answer for the rest of us. Are you stating that the sacrifice of our Savior was only good enough to get us to our initial acceptance of Christ, and then our works determine whether of not we keep or lose our salvation and promise of ETERNAL LIFE? And you said ".....so that we can run to Christ and ask His forgiveness." Where in the new testament are we commanded to ask forgiveness for our sins? GOD ALREADY FORGAVE ALL OF THE WORLDS SINS!!! Please read 2 Cor 5:19 and Romans 5:10. Here is a cut and paste for you so I can save you sometime. 2 Cor 5:19 "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" Rom 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. We HAVE BEEN reconciled! If you are saved, you have already received this forgiveness of your sins. No need to ask GOD to forgive you continuously for what he has already forgiven you for. If you are doing this, how in the world is this exercising faith in what has already been acomplished. It sounds like you keep going back to the Law and your own version of Bull and Goat sacrifices for your sins on a daily basis. And as for your statements about murder and adultery being okay if we are not to follow the law, here is some more scipture that should represent your walk with CHRIST. Eph 4:1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, Col 1:10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 1 Thess 2:12 so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. The law tends to lead a person to try to find a loophole around it. Truly walking in Grace wants to make you walk closer with your Savior, after all 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. The TRUTH will set you FREE. Luke |

2 | Seventh Day Sabbath | Ex 20:10 | Saint Luke | 164708 | ||
Hank, And a few book later Christ uttered the words recorded in John 19:30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. Heavenly Father then saw that the all sufficient sacrifice for sin had taken away the sin of the entire world. Must we then continue to go before our Heavenly Father and ask him, and some do continually, for forgiveness for what has already been forgiven by the perfect sacrifice, the only sacrifice that could TAKE AWAY the sins of the world? Reference John 1:29 and 1 John 3:5 Is this saying that we need another sacrifice for sin and the propitation offered was not enough for your sin? Is this truly trusting Christ as your SAVIOR, or is he just enough of a savior to get to your initial salvation, then it is it all dependent on the belivers actions? Which of your sins did GOD forget to forgive when Christ was sacrificed for the world? The TRUTH will set you FREE Luke |

3 | Tithing | Deuteronomy | Saint Luke | 174426 | ||
Lest you forget, there is also prelaw "historical precedent" for animal sacrifice (Gen 4:4), marrying your half sister (Gen 20:12) marrying your cousin (Gen 24), and adultery (Gen 16). For the most part, none of which is still condoned today. Yet the OT demand to tithe is not only condoned, but encouraged today. But not in the original form of food and supplies for the Levitical priests, but rather in the form of money. Your reference in Malachi is not to the NT Christian, but to the "sons of Jacob" if you took the time to read the passage in context. If you are a Gentile, such as myself, this doesn't even apply to us. After all, all Scripture is to us, but not all Scripture is for us. The TRUTH will MAKE You FREE Luke |

4 | Can you please explain tithing? | Deut 14:1 | Saint Luke | 163366 | ||
You are right! It is all HIS!! The Tithe is not required in the new covenant. Keep it in context. Mal 3:6 puts this class of people required to tithe as "ye Sons of Jacob". The Tithe wasn't money, you'll notice he didn't want the tithe put into a vault. Read Leviticus, the tithe was food!!! Imaging putting food in an offering plate at your church!!! I'm not Jewish, therefore not a son of Jacob. I have been delivered from the law (Old Testament) of Sin and Death! Read Galatians. Quit going back and inserting the Law of Moses into the Christian Life! By the way, GOD doesn't want your money, Christ wants to live HIS life through you, he forgave your Sins (all of them) when Christ shed His blood and Died on the Cross. Mankind has been forgiven of our sins (PRAISE GOD) We've been reconciled to GOD, planned before the foundations of the world, Ephesians 1:4. John 3:16 says "whosoever believes will have EVERLASTING LIFE" It mentions nothing about forgiveness of sins. It has already been provided for us. God Bless |

5 | Saved but not living for God? | Matt 6:33 | Saint Luke | 168136 | ||
Kalos, Okay, you can count, I'm proud of you. I really wanted to hear what I Love Jesus, Jesus Freak had to say, but since you replied, your definition please!!!! I feel it is a much used term by many Christians, just like the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost", "slain in the spirit", and "filling of the Holy Ghost" meaning the same thing to many Christians. It is obvious Scripture says differently. Just because they can use the word in a sentence, doesn't signify they know what it means.............. I just wanted to see if we were on the same page, or if he were speaking Christianese. Luke |

6 | eat what you will? Mark 7:19 | Mark 7:19 | Saint Luke | 164351 | ||
Elder, Jesus came to fulfill the law, so we don't have to. And yes, the Law has been eliminated. Jesus is our High Priest. See Heb 4:15. Heb 5:10 says "being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek." not Levi. We have a NEW TESTAMENT. We no longer are ordered to follow the law, I wasn't to begin with, I am a GENTILE. Try reading Galatians. It admonishes them not to go back to the Law that they were delivered from. It is also all throughout the Book of Acts. We are under LIBERTY, not the Law. Your sins have been forgiven. Quit trying to get there by works! So, if you are trying to fulfill the law, you best be sacrificing your bulls and goats, by the way THE WORD OF GOD says they could never take away sin, Heb 10:4 Rom 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. Don't be trying to meld the 2 covenants together. The new covenant replaced the old. The TRUTH shall set you free. Luke |

7 | eat what you will? Mark 7:19 | Mark 7:19 | Saint Luke | 164354 | ||
Mark, First thing I can see is it sure doesn't reference any scripture, and sounds very much like unfounded philosophy. Again, the new testament is full of references to not going again under the law. Again, I am a Gentile, not a Jew. The oracles of GOD were not delivered to the Gentile world Read Romans 3:1-2 The TRUTH will set you FREE. Luke. |

8 | Under the law?No. | Mark 7:19 | Saint Luke | 164489 | ||
Lionheart, I agree with you completely. After all, alot of our present Laws in this country are simply a codification of the 10 commandments. Look at the issue of tithing. In the law, is was food for the priests who weren't permitted to own anything, and whose lives were dedicated to the service of the LORD. Now people give money, not food. If it were like it was supposed to be in OT times, can't you imagine the size of that offering plate! And in some cases, it wasn't 10 percent it was closer to 30 percent. We have church leaders saying you are required to tithe. Can you imagine a 30 percent "giving message" to most congregations? My comment, start living like a Levitical Priest and we may start thinking about tithing! But that could limit what we give. It says that New Covenant giving should be done cheerfully in 2 Cor 9:7. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. I don't see where New Covenant giving is from oppression and bondage like OT tithing. And just so we can get a Mal 3:10 blessing? It is ridiculous! Eph 1:3 says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, What seems to be occurring in the "Christian" community is what was happening in Galatians. A melding of the Law and Grace. It is pretty obvious to spot. I actually had on gentleman tell me that salvation (by Grace) was limited to the believers intial acceptance of Christ, after that it is based on your ability of inability to perform. I guess you would have to worry about loosing your salvation if the basis of keeping your salvation was your abilityy to perform work. I'm sure glad that we don't have to live under that bondage!Thanks be to GOD for accepting me into the beloved, wholely and completely. I'm sure glad that we don't have to live under that bondage! God Bless. The TRUTH shall set you FREE!!! Luke |

9 | child made during adultry | John 3:16 | Saint Luke | 166873 | ||
Brad K Thanks for the reply. Now I am a little more confused. I agree with what you said, it is what I have read also and what Pastor tells me. But md1234 wrote in the note following yours, "He will forgive you for the things you do." I thought He had already forgiven all of my sins, past present and future, because all of my sins were in the future when Christ died on the cross. Is this just a matter of definitions of words or does md1234 know something I don't. I am also a bit confused over the "forgiveness" and "repentance" definitions. Would simple definition of "forgiveness" be what GOD has performed in our spirit, to "reconcile" us to HIM? I reference all the verses you have quoted. Is "repentance" what we are doing to bring the physical body into submission, and I want to do so because I have Christ in me now? Galatians 2:20 Does "reconcile" mean what the book Pastor gave me means? It says that GOD planned all of this so we could be brought back into good standing with HIM because we were in bad standing because of sin. And we couldn't do it because none of us could live up to the Old Testament, so Christ (GOD in the flesh) came to do it for us. This kind of matches what 2 Corinthians 5:19 says and the reason for Christ dying on the cross. Do I have the general idea behind this? I also read that repentance is "a change of mind that bears the fruit of a changed life." Do you see anything in the bible that would contradict this? Thanks, Sam |

10 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | Saint Luke | 167924 | ||
Mark, As I was sitting here slack-jawed in unbelief, reading Bible Thumper's response. Thanks for those words of correction. Luke |
||||||
11 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | Saint Luke | 167925 | ||
Bible Thumper, If we "assume" that all spoke with tongues, why can we not "assume" that all DID NOT speak in tongues because of 1 Corinthians 14:23. Your argument seems flawed. Provide more scripture to support your theory, not just your own thoughts on the matter. Luke By the way, do you hold to the idea of apostolic succession also? |
||||||
12 | Which sacrifices have ended? | Acts 2:46 | Saint Luke | 174541 | ||
Would it then be your opinion that the Gentiles should be placed under the requirements of the tedium of the OT Law also? That idea is contrary to the Book of Galatians that warns against placing believers under the Law. Galatians 3:24-25 "Wherefore the law WAS our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith is come, we are NO LONGER under a schoolmaster" How much clearer do we need it? Believers are no longer under the Law, Scripture is quite clear on this. If the Jews want to continue the "work of GOD" with the sacrifices and all of there other rituals after the temple is rebuilt, maybe they should read John 6:29. But I think their destiny is clearly spelled out. They are just using these religious rituals to fulfill the prophesy of the Book of Revalation. I don't give such there is much thought about the credibilty it the writings that were cited. After all these are the descendants of the bunch that rejected and demanded the crucificion of there own King, and will embrace the Anti-Christ. I guess GOD really does know their heart. I'm just thankful I am a Gentile. Luke |

13 | license to sin? | Rom 6:15 | Saint Luke | 163911 | ||
New Creature, All of your sins have been forgiven. This occurred as a result of Christ's death on the cross and shedding of HIS blood. This all was planned by GOD "from the foundation of the world." Rom 5:10 says "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life" So the world (the enemies) has been reconciled. to GOD by HIS provision (His propitiation, 1 John 2:2 "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." and Rom 3:24-26 "being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. To simplify, all sin is forgiven forever, except for the sin of unbelief. You receive your salvation, your eternal life, throught faith and simply believing, nothing more. See John 3:16 That being saiid, those who are regarding their salvation as a license to sin, and they could, really should check you salvation experience. Those who are expecting to not serve your Lord and Savior in this life (reveals the condition of their hearts while on this earth), then why is it expected they will want to serve HIM in heaven? 1 Cor 8:9 says "But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak." It limits our liberty we have in Christ by our responsiblity to others in the body of Christ, also as we live our lives as a living example to the unsaved. You probably didn't hear the gospel (and respond to it) by listening to someone who knowingly and willfully sinning and steeping in their sinful lifes stew. Luke 12:48 says".....From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more." Christ just wants to live His life through us, very imperfect people, HIS church, HIS Beloved, HIS Chosen. John 15:5 says "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." New Creature, get into GOD'S word, let the truth set you free. 2 Pet 3:17-18 says "You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. New Creature, Grow in Grace. I'll be praying for you. In Christ, Luke |

14 | "the law is spiritual, but I am carnal" | Rom 7:14 | Saint Luke | 165148 | ||
In Romans 7:14-25, Paul is speaking of one under the law. How can you reconcile this as being a believer, when Col 2:13-14 says all of our sins have been forgiven and the law has been blotted out and nailed to the cross? Colossians 2:13-14 says "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Paul then goes on further to explain in verse 16 to say "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" Obviously, the "handwriting of ordinances" is evidenced by Paul describing certain provisions of the Law that a believer has been delivered from. Col 2:15-16 says "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" Romans 8:2 says "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Should it then not be concluded that in Romans 7:14-25, Paul is speaking if himself prior to salvation.? The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE Luke |

15 | "the law is spiritual, but I am carnal" | Rom 7:14 | Saint Luke | 165203 | ||
If the Law is not done away with, then why are the only requirements for a Gentile believer quoted in Acts 21:25 "As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication." Notice the "they observe no such thing", then qualifies it by a few things to abstain from. And as for the Apocropha, when did it get into the Cannon of Scripture? Also read Galatians, why were they warned about following the ordinances of the Law when they were under the grace of CHRIST anf a new covenant? If we are to follow the law, then why did the Apostle Paul warn them not to do it? The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE!!! Luke |

16 | "the law is spiritual, but I am carnal" | Rom 7:14 | Saint Luke | 165259 | ||
You might also want to try to explain Hebrews 8. specifically verse 13, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." And also Hebrews 8:7-8 "For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" Not to mention a new priesthood after the order od Melchisedek, not after the line of the Levites. We don't observe the Sabbath, as required by the Law, though some do have a Bible Study on Saturday, but this hardly qualifies for "keeping the Sabbath". After all, they more then like drove there which technically is "kinding a fire", which was a forbidden act on the Sabbath. And Romans 2:14-15 says, "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;" I am a GENTILE as more then likely you are also. So why are you trying, and failing, to follow something that was never intended for us? Why don't you just admit, if you are saved, that you will never be seen by GOD as anymore righteous then HE has made you through CHRIST! You have never gotten past the idea that was addressed in Galatians about 2000 years ago. The Law being imposed on GENTILE believers. Or maybe you have, because you snapped back on the shackles of the LAW by your own efforts. What a cut above what the Galatian church wes experiencing about 2000 years ago! Wouldn't the Apostle Paul be proud!!! The TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE Luke |

17 | "the law is spiritual, but I am carnal" | Rom 7:14 | Saint Luke | 165336 | ||
Ahh, My view exactly. Walk in a manner worthy of your calling, if I am identified as a Child of GOD, I should live like I am a Child of GOD. Because of who we are in Christ, we should not want to sin. Therefore, Grace is not a license to sin then, is it? The TRUTH will MAKE you FREE!!! Luke |

19 | divorce and remarriage for chirstians | 2 Corinthians | Saint Luke | 164236 | ||
Have been divorced and am now remarried to a wonderful christian woman. In our lives, we can't fullfill the Law. You know this is the reason Christ came. Not justifying divorce at all. but I know it is just one of my sins my savior died for. I know I can stand justified by FAITH, because the truth of GOD'S WORD says I am standing justified. Just a quick question for you. Are you still trying to stand righteous under the Law, or are you made righteous through the work of Christ. Please don't take these as condemning statements, I really would like to know and am genunely coureous. Again, the TRUTH will set you FREE..... In Christ, Luke |

20 | divorce and remarriage for chirstians | 2 Corinthians | Saint Luke | 164245 | ||
Evangelistit Grace and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ! I have only a short time before I am dispatched, so I will write only this short note. 1 Cor 7:15 says, "Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace" Sounds as if your ex has some real issues. mine is still living with the Jehovah Witness she left me for. She claimed to be a believer, you can't tell it by the life that is being lived. I hope you can see my stand, don't let the enemy get a foothold in your life in this matter. John 8:36 "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. You are free indeed. More later, GOD BLESS In Christ, Luke |
