Thanks Hank. It sure is nice to know that I'm not as goofy as I was begining to think. Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly with your statement that unbelievers are not under the law. Did I imply otherwise somewhere? God Bless George |

125 | The Law: Abolished or Not Abolished? | Matt 5:17 | GeorJoy | 102322 | ||
Sabbath keeping is one thing. Tything is a totally different matter. Radioman2, I have read many of your posts. I must have somehow gotten a wrong impression. In your profile, you make the statement, "I believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God; the only infallible rule of faith and practice." In the development of your belief, is it possiable that you have overlooked 2Ti 2:15. Was this the post I am responding to a "loaded question," or were those mere words without meaning? Bluntly, I ask this question without malice, because I am as I am, and at the moment, I am a more than a little confused. George |

126 | The Law: Abolished or Not Abolished? | Matt 5:17 | GeorJoy | 102323 | ||
Christ did not come to distroy the law, but to fulfill. I like the saying that the OT is the NT concealed and the NT is the OT revealed. God Bless. George |

127 | To be led by the Spirit, or castrated? | Matt 5:22 | GeorJoy | 89274 | ||
Searcher In your response to "What is "Moral Law?", you stated, "I also think following the "law of Christ" is tougher." My question is "why." Didn't Jesus simply command us to " Love your neighbor as yourself." Isn't this the command that replaced the ten commandments? I would say that having the laws written on ones heart in the first place, if a person follows Jesus' command to Love your neighbor as yourself; learning to listen to, and therefor to be led by the spirit, would be the most dificult thing for those who have not truly received the spirit. If one follows this command, will they not follow the 10 commandments? by doing so. Didn't Paul say to the Galatians concerning the those who were advocating the law and insisting on the circumcision of the beleivers, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate (CASTRATE) themselves"? NIV Gal 5:12 Your response noted suggests to me that you think it is easier to follow the law than to Live by the Spirit. Just curious. |

129 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92545 | ||
Dear friend, I can not answer your question. Nor can any other man. Many will voice their thoughts, including myself. M. Henry's comment below, concerning 1Co 7:9, particularily the last sentence, puts it best. Personally, my studies indicate that once you and your wife accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, ALL your sins were washed away. Not just certin ones. In the eyes of God you became pure as pure is. After you accepted your salvation it was, and is up to you to "walk in the spirit" and do your best to remain pure. If you were Christians when you married, you would be in living in sin, with only divorce and repentance as a solution. If you were sinners when you married and have accepted Christ's gift of salvation since, your sins were forgiven. You have only to forgive yourself and accept Gods word. He has forgiven you, yet he still warns others of the same sins He "has" forgiven you of. You must accept His forgiveness in it's entirity. KJV*(1Co 7:9) But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. Per Mathew Henry's Concise Commentary The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act. *** Mat 5:31-31 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Per Mathew Henry's Concise Commentary Mat 5:33-37 - There is no reason to consider that solemn oaths in a court of justice, or on other proper occasions, are wrong, provided they are taken with due reverence. But all oaths taken without necessity, or in common conversation, must be sinful, as well as all those expressions which are appeals to God, though persons think thereby to evade the guilt of swearing. The worse men are, the less they are bound by oaths; the better they are, the less there is need for them. Our Lord does not enjoin the precise terms wherein we are to affirm or deny, but such a constant regard to truth as would render oaths unnecessary. God bless. George |

Only you can answer that question. Here are the tools needed for the correct answer. *(Mat 5:31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: *(Mat 5:32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

"if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:" "if the unbelieving depart" AMAZING! I have read that many times, yet this is the first I have actually seen it. George |

Justme, I am not the originator. Only a messenger. If you don't like what I have stated, take it up with the originator. Bottom line; A Christian who is walking in the spirit will not (intentionally) commit adultry, and continue to live therein. If he does, he IS NOT walking in the spirit, for the spirit does not lead contrary to the word. If he thinks he is, he is only fooling himself. He is NOT living in Gods favor. I have only quoted the word, and my determination based thereon. Gods word is not always flowers and roses, as some would have it. The word in it's simplist form, a babe could understand. When our minds are clouded by lifes excuses and desires, the word often becomes incomprehensiable. Even Jesus stated that there would be those who would have a hard time accepting what He had stated on this topic. It's either in Matthew or Mark, possiably in the other two Gosples as well. See for yourself what he said. God's word never changes. No matter what the circumstance. George |

I will not argue the point my friend. If you are so offended by the scripture I quote from the word, and insist on "twisting" it, and "nit picking" my typo's as well, then so be it. You opted in to this conversation where I was concerned, I would suggest you opt out of my further conversations if you are so offended by the truth. If you don't want to hear it, don't ask. If you want to live by OT law, rather than accepting Christ's covenant, I would suggest you live it, for by it you will also be condemned. I make NO APPOLOGIES, for what you consider rude. It is the word of God and it IS THE TRUTH. And all who twist it are ANTICHRIST'S. I make no (it is spelled,) "INSINUATIONS." I would state though, that "he who yells the loudest is the one who is hurt most. Please, Justme. Read the word! Study the word. It's there. If only we will open our eyes and see it. Justme, it is apparent you can't or don't want to understand the "specifics" I did quote. I'm truly sorry you can't do a little research on your own and find some "specifics" which haven't been tanted with such as is apparent by so many of your reprisals where my posts are concerned. IF YOU COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE QUOTED, THEN SURELY YOU WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU READ, for whether you, I OR ANYONE ELSE like it or not, the answer is therein. I understand you, (and more and more, what appears to be your goal,) my friend. I could care less whether you understand me or not. As I have said, "if you have complaints concerning the scripture I have quoted, don't blame the messenger. Take it up with the Originator." I will respond to you my friend, no more on this topic. May God Bless, protect, watch over, and be with you and yours, and may He open yours, (and my) eyes as well, to the TRUTH CONTAINED IN THE WHOLE OF HIS "UNCLUTTERED, UNFOGGED, AND UNDEMENTED LIVING WORD. George |

Justme, when have I iniated a dispute between the two of us? I should think you would consider not taking what I have quoted and paraphrased from the word as a personal attack. Please reread all corespondence between yourself and me, with open eyes. You may learn something about someone very close. Kindness, I have for all. Where the Word is concerned, I can not help if someone considers it unkind. Respect, I have for "no one" who sugar cotes and changes the meaning of the word" out of what they consider "kindness" to others. I would suggest that anyone who has taken the time to read, knows at least some of the word. If they can't spread the Word without deluting and sugar coating it, it would be wise of them to keep their mouth shut, for that very Word speaks of their wages. Take care George |

Chriatian, my post dated 8/11 at 8:59pm was actually intended to address your note. For some strange reason, I thought "justme" had written that note. My appologies to "justme." Please Chriatian, replace justme's name therein with Chriatian. I'd like to ask out of curiosity. Is there a significance in (what appears to be a) typeO in your screen name? George |

charley, against my better judgement, I will address this topic once again. If you desire scripture, go back and review my notes on this topic. If a child of yours is, lets say, cheating on tests in school, and that child comes to you and asks your forgiveness, what are you going to do? You love that child dearly. You may insist that that child admits his dishonesty to his teacher, you may not. Either way you are going to forgive that child. Now, what happens when two months later you find out that that same child is "still" cheating on tests. What are you going to do? Does the fact a your child was forgiven the first time give that child a free ticket to continue in his or her dishonesty? IT IS CALLED REPENTANCE, PEOPLE! REPENTANCE. R E P E N T A N C E. . . . . Does no one responding to this topic wnderstand the meaning of that word? Or does everyone think that salvation means they have a "free to continue in sin" ticket? Does salvation change the fact that a sin is a sin? It washes the sinner, but they dirty themselves immediately again, and if there is no real repentance, where is salvation? Why did the originataor of this topic make his post in the first place. Can no one see the Holy Spirits conviction apon that person? Remove the motes from your eyes. And then, read your bibles. You will find that your ignorance has already been discribed in the NT. If I seem blunt, it is only due to the fact that I am sick of the "sugar coated" non scence that I am seeing and hearing concerning scripture. If I answer a question, I will quote scripture. If pressed, or if I feel the need, I will give my biblically based interpritation thereof. The more I am pressed, the more "scripturally blunt I will become. I have quoted scripture. Everyone seems to want to argue what I have quoted. Argue all you want folks. But, as I have said at least three times in in this topic alone, "if you want to argue scripture, take your arguments to the originator. I am only a messenger." Too many today just want to hear what it is they want to hear. Why do you think there are so many different denominations? Good Night dear bretheren, and God rest this topic. George |

Well thank you my friend. Do I read your note correct in saying that I was responding to you as "Chriatian." Perhaps I'm not as senile as I was beginning to think I mah have been. George |
