123 | Are Jesus' Two Commandments Easy? | Matt 22:40 | swerv | 147242 | ||
Hello: From your note - do you agree we are still rquires by God to keep the "law". Which would include the diet of God. For example: We should not eat pork !! Is. 65:4 I grew up eating everything but now recognize that was contrary to God's law. But I also recognize that God sees a unknown sin different than a known sin. ??? Merv |

124 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | swerv | 155088 | ||
I believe the use of the word wine can refer to both fermented and unfermented. God approves wine in the cluster which is the unfermented wine. I think the Bible teaches use to not use alcohol unless for health reasons. Swerv |

126 | Why take UNCLEAN animals onto The Ark | Acts 10:11 | swerv | 147776 | ||
The unclean animals fed off of the dead animals that died. Look how the oceans are kept clean !!! All things have a purpose just like 1 Tim 4 says. We are still to follow God's diet if we choose to eat meat. Merv |

127 | Why take UNCLEAN animals onto The Ark | Acts 10:11 | swerv | 148733 | ||
Hi: See I have a probelm when people are so negative about laws. Of course we can do absolutely nothing to atone for our sins. Only Jesus can take away sin through His shed blood. But Jesus clearly teaches us in the NT that if we love Him we should keep His commandments. If we recognize Jesus and God are ONE then how do you not think we need to keep the law which points out sin. Any law or commandment which was meant to keep us from sin is good in the eyes of God. Please explain why God would set a law in the garden of not eating from the tree when they had not yet sinned ???? They were perfect and sinless up until they broke God's command. If we do not need to keep His laws now are we somehow better than Adam ort Eve. The truth is God expects obedience and uses His law to test our faithfulness to Him. It has nothing to do with saving us from our sins. Those sacrificial laws have been done away at the cross but not His law that points out sin. Diet would be included as a law to follow. It is about either treating our bodies selfishly or treating them like the "temple of God" Read Daniel 1 to see how Daniel looked upon following Gods diet about meat. In love, Merv |

Sorry Jonny: Listing verses does not justify a doctrine. Where is the evidence in Acts 10 or 11 of Peter understanding he could now eat all things ?? Merv |

Hank: I am not pushing a denomination. My beliefs reflect a denomination - yes. You must not agree that discussion is debate when there are differing opinions. I look forward to more discussions. Love in Christ, Merv |

Hank: Unfortunately - you have been the only one to make issue with my discussions. I have had many great discussions with many others. Is there only ONE doctrine that this forum presents. If so I would like to see where it is stated. I do believe that all denominations which differ in doctrine also agree that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. So we have different views coming fromt he same book. So I take it you say this forum is for only discussing common views but where there is disagreement it should not be discussed. Just because discussions lead to disagreement does not mean that they are not healthy and growing experiences. I will continue to ask questions and answer questions based on my study of the Bible. I do believe everyone else on this forum responds the same way. Fortunately, we do live in a time when we are each freely able to read the Bible and search for the Truth. Jesus taught Truth and was and example of the Truths of the Bible. I do believe we are challenged to do the same. Standing for freedom to learn and express Truth, Merv |

Mark: I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of my intentions. If you disagree you are free not to continue a discussion on a certain topic. I have searched topics of my interest. I think that is why this forum ables people to use the SEARCH FUNCTION. I will not withdraw from this forum. But I will not respond or continue a discussion with someone - if that is the request. I have had many great discussions on this forum and I look forward to many more. If you would like to answer my question as to "where in Acts 10 or 11 does Peter give the interpretation that all animals are now clean to eat ?" - please feel free. Thank you, Merv |

135 | "not under legalism but under grace" | Rom 6:14 | swerv | 147241 | ||
Yes, but righteous is given based on forgiveness, repentance, faith in God and finally proof of faith which is obedeience. The Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom and power to overcome temptation and not sin. Obedience proves our love for God and loyalty to God not the devil. God's grace amd mercy have been present from the moment sin entered the world. In love, Merv |

136 | "not under legalism but under grace" | Rom 6:14 | swerv | 147260 | ||
Yes: Works and law do not save us or justify us. Only the blood of Jesus did atone for past sins. But we are to live as Christ and Jesus "kept His father's commandments" We are instructed to "if we love Him keep His commandments" We keep the law out of love !! But we still keep them and are required to keep them. It is the evidence of a changed life. God said we will be known by our fruits. These fruits come fromthe basic law of God - to love Him and love our neighbor as we love Him. These laws were written in our heart as part of the new covenant. Justified means to be without blemish or sin. That is true once we repent - the challenge to us then is to "go and sin no more" as Jesus told the adulteress woman. Jesus said "anyone who says they love me (repent and confess) but do not keep my commandments is a liar" Cannot claim love for God and not obey. They go hand in hand. Bible says faith without works is dead. Merv |

137 | Scripture reference? | Rom 6:14 | swerv | 147261 | ||
Tim: James 2:18-24 Rom. 9:31-32 So question is just cause we have faith does it mean we do not follow the law - God forbid. Oviously, faith is shown by our obedience. But many "churches" want to call this legalism. But clearly this watering down the gospel. Just because our judgement is delayed till the time of Christ's return - we should take note how strongly God has dealt with disobedience in the OT. Pretty clear that is we are claiming to be saved and do not really want to know what God's law requires then we are watering down our salvation. We know what goes does to the lukewarm. In love, Merv |

Hey Tim: I appreciate your comments !! Hopefully we are both gaining from these discussions ans even if we do not change our positions on certain doctrines it will challege us to be more equipped to answers these tough questions. Ok Rom. 9. Now clearly the Jews kept the law and even made it more burdensome. But the question is "I think" - which Rom. 9. posses is do we attain righteousness by law or faith. Clearly it is by faith. I do not think I am saying anything opposite to the scripture. Remember Tim that God not only expected them to keep the "law" (10 commandments) but when they did sin they needed to perform the requirement of sacrifices to atone for there sins. This was done daily by individuals and yearly by the priest. So there sins were always present in there mind. The problem that occured is that they kept the "tried" to keep the law (10 comm.) but always failed. They failed in this promise to God because we as man cannot keep the law. Only through God's power (Holy Spirit) can man keep the law just as Christ kept the law for our example and to perfect the sacrifice for sins. They killed a Perfect Man (Jesus) although He did not deserve death but there was no sin in Him to cause a penalty of "death". Death is only required because we "man" is sinful. Almost all Jews rejected Jesus as the promised Saviour (Perfect Lamb Sacrifice for our sins)(which we both agree). This rejection fullfilled the 490 year probationary period for the Jews (Daniel 70 weeks of years prophecy). Thus the gospel went out to the gentiles and Jersalem was destryed in 70 AD. We are now all Spiritual Jews of a circumcised heart. Ok Tim - now the Jews did the sacrificial system to yes atone for their sins but lost faith in understanding that a Savior was coming to save them from there sins and give them the strength to overcome sin. This lost faith in understanding God was sending His son to replace the sacrificial system was evidence in the Jews not recognizing Jesus as the Saviour but instead were looking for a Messiah to save them from perscution. There faith went from doing the law (ceremonial) of sacrifices to reflect a coming Saviour to doing the sacrifices in actually thinking they could be righteous before God for doing them. That is why so many times God says he disliked there sacrifices and feasts - even though He was the one who commanded Moses to put these in place to atone for there sins. There faith had shifted to believing the law could save them instead of believing that those sacrifices was to give them faith (shaddow) that a coming Saviour would take away the sacifices because He was the Perfect Sacrifice. Now if God only required "faith" in this coming Saviour - THEN WHY REQUIRE THEM TO SACRIFICE ?? Just like Rom.16:26 and Rom. 1:5 says that there is obedience of Faith. Heb. 11:7 - by faith Abraham offered up his son. Faith always results in action to reflect our faith. Col. 2:14 and Eph. 2:15 - are speaking of the sacrificial system being abolished by Jesus at the cross. These laws were nailed to the cross. To keep sacrificing made His work on the cross of none effect. But the Jews had lost faith that a "replacement" for there sacrifices was coming so they did believe in Christ because He taught things against the Pharisees burdensome law. They mad it burdemsome because they had to do it to be saved. But scriptures clearly teach that blood of bulls and lambs CANNOT take away sin. But they had "righteousness of law" instead of "righteousness of faith". But the key point is when they did do theses sacrifices - what did it represent in there heart. There heart was with saving them through the law instead of reminding them that they would be saved through Jesus's blood. So just as Paul teaches: We do not destroy the law "GOD FORBID". Math. 5:17-18 -- God's 10 comm. and other statues (like diet and healthy living) are what God expects us to obey out of love - just as Abraham reflected his faith a love for God in obeying God's command to sacrifice his son. 1 John 2:6 clearly tells us what is sin - and Jesus in John 15:10 clearly is our example of a sinless life (keeping His father's comm.) In love and respect, Merv |

139 | Does God love everybody? | Rom 8:39 | swerv | 155025 | ||
His elect are those who reflect their love for God by obeying His commandments. This does not earn salvation but reveals to God our heart in wanting to serve and obey Him. The question we then must ask ourselves is what laws did God put in our heart for us to obey. Although, the covenant has changed from Old to New - God still wants us to obey His laws which instead of being written on stone - are now written on our hearts. The only reason we have a New covenant is because fault was found with the people of the Old covenant because they could not keep the promises they made as part of the Old covenant. But now the New testament is based on better promises from Jesus. If we accept Him - He will give us the Holy Spirit which will enable us to keep His laws. No matter what - the people will be saved in the end at Jesus return - are those who keep His commandments. In love, Swerv |

WOS: Hello - nice to correspond. I did not say we must earn our salvation. I think you read my response incorrectly. The elect are those who are obedient to The WORD of God and obey his laws and commandments. And I did not say man dictates the perfect plan of God. God has His plan and wishes no man perish. Perish means to me that there is no eternal hell ! In Christ, Swerv |
