Are We Not Subject To The Law of God? Romans 3:31 (ESV) Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. (Amplified) Do we then by [this] faith make the Law of no effect, overthrow it or make it a dead letter? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law. (GOD'S WORD version) Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. (From "Not Subject To The Law of God?" Part 8. www.yashanet.com/library/under8.htm All following Scripture quotes are from the GOD'S WORD version of the Bible, unless otherwise noted.) "The teaching that 'we are free from the Torah,' is a product of hundreds of years of anti-Semitic theology and is in opposition to Scripture. The 'New Testament,' when put back into its Hebrew context, says this about the Torah and believers in Yeshua:" Matthew 5:17 "Don't ever think that I came to set aside Moses' Teachings or the Prophets. I didn't come to set them aside but to make them come true. James 2:10 If someone obeys all of God's laws except one, that person is guilty of breaking all of them. Matt 19:17 Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, obey the commandments." Revelation 12:17 The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God's commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus. John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. John 15:10 If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments, and in that way I live in his love. Romans 3:31 Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. 1 John 2:3 We are sure that we know Christ if we obey his commandments. 2:4 The person who says, "I know him," but doesn't obey his commandments is a liar. The truth isn't in that person. 2:5 But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God's love is perfected. That's how we know we are in Christ. 1 John 5:3 (Revised Standard Version) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments (Greek: entole [Strong's #1785]: ethically used of the commandments in the Mosaic law). And his commandments (entole) are not burdensome. --Radioman2 |

GeneZ: You wrote: "All men at some point in their lives are given a chance(s) to know God." My question is: where in the Bible does it teach this? In no way am I disputing you when I ask this question. I really want to know where this is in the Bible. I have heard this idea all my life, but I wouldn't know where to find it in the Bible. If you could find it for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Tim Moran writes: "Let this topic die! It goes nowhere. (...) "I read 'all', you see 'some'. I read 'everyone', you see 'the elect'. I read 'world', you see 'believers throughout the world'.' Musical commentary by Radioman 2 Let's Call the Whole Thing Off (to be sung to the Gershwin tune of the same title) You say predestined, I say whosoever. You say read Calvin, I say read the Bible.

188 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | Radioman2 | 96587 | ||
"everyone" (Eng.) is "todo el mundo" (Spanish) is "all the world" (English) Try explaing to Spanish-speaking people that "all the world" does not mean "all the world." After you've done that, then explain it to us in English. --Radioman2 |

The law is not altogether invalid 'On the other hand, the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability. "All Scripture is … useful" (2 Tim 3:16-17), including Old Testament laws. Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17-20). The law is the embodiment of truth that instructs (Rom 2:18-19). It is "holy" and "spiritual, " making sin known to us by defining it; therefore, Paul delights in it (Rom 7:7-14,22). The law is good if used properly (1 Tim 1:8), and is not opposed to the promises of God (Gal 3:21). Faith does not make the law void, but the Christian establishes the law (Rom 3:31), fulfilling its requirements by walking according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4) through love (Rom 13:10). When Paul states that women are to be in submission "as the Law says" (1 Cor 14:34) or quotes parts of the Decalogue (Rom 13:9), and when James quotes the law of love (2:8 from Lev 19:18) or condemns partiality, adultery, murder, and slander as contrary to the law (2:9, 11; 4:11), and when Peter quotes Leviticus, "Be holy, because I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16; from Lev 19:2), the implication is that the law, or at least part of it, remains authoritative. (...) 'The New Testament writers also apply the principles in the law. From Deuteronomy 25:4 ("Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain"), Paul derives a principle that workers ought to be rewarded for their labors and applies that principle in the case of Christian workers (1 Cor 9:9-14). In 1 Timothy 5:18, Paul again quotes Deuteronomy 25:4, this time in parallel with a saying of Jesus (Matt 10:10) as if both are equally authoritative. Likewise, the principle of establishing truth by two or three witnesses (Deut 19:15), originally limited to courts, is applied more broadly to a church conference (2 Cor 13:1). The principle that believers are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers is derived from a law concerning the yoking animals (2 Cor 6:14; cf. Deut 22:10). 'In 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 13, Paul affirms on the basis of Leviticus 18:29 that incest, a capital offense in the Old Testament, is immoral and deserves punishment. A person practicing incest in the church must be excommunicated to maintain the church's practical holiness. Paul maintains the law's moral principle, yet in view of the changed redemptive setting, makes no attempt to apply the law's original sanction.' ____________________ Bibliography. G.

The Law under the New Covenant [candy lee: I present the following for your consideration. I would appreciate any feedback you wish to give. If you disagree with any of the following, could you quote at least some of the part(s) you disagree with and comment on the Scripture references cited, telling us why you disagree. It is not my intention to challenge or debate you or put you on the defensive. I do respect your views and I just wondered what your reaction is to the following. --Radioman2] 'The Law under the New Covenant. 'The New Testament's statements about Old Testament law are difficult to harmonize. On the one hand, some New Testament statements indicate that under the new covenant the whole law is in some sense abrogated (Rom 6:14, "you are not under law" Rom 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law" ). 'Direct application of cultic laws is clearly excluded in the New Testament. Food laws, circumcision, sacrifices, temple, and priesthood have been superseded (Mark 7:19; 1 Cor 7:19; Heb 7:11-19, 28; 8:13; 10:1-9). Christ has abolished in his flesh the commandments and regulations that separated Jew from Gentile (Eph 2:15). 'Dispensationalism concludes from these statements that Christians are under no Mosaic laws, not even the Decalogue, but are instead under the law of Christ (Gal 6:2; 1 Cor 9:21).' [Note to clarify my position: I do not consider myself a Dispensationalist. --Radioman2] ____________________ From the article "The Law", Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

CDBJ: It's very good to hear from you. Thanks again for the information you posted two years ago. I have spent many profitable hours at the website you recommended, (www.solagroup.org). I'm still holding to the truth you have shown me re the sequence of events in Matthew 24 and Revelation. Regarding your post, as I suggested in my Note, ID# 96402, read the entire article at: (http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html). However, whether you read the article or not, I want you to know that I always welcome any and all questions from you. I will do my best to answer them. I am indebted to you for the information you provided re Matthew 24 and Revelation. Grace and peace to you, --Radioman2 |

192 | As you say, "there is nowhere in scriptu | 1 Thess 5:21 | Radioman2 | 96431 | ||
As you say, "there is nowhere in scripture that an individual SEEKS the Holy Spirit and there is also nowhere in scripture where an individual is expecting to speak in tongues as evidence that He has come." Since this is not in Scripture, then WHY are there, in this day and age, *INDIVIDUALS* SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? --Radioman2 |

Baptized, filled, or indwelt? Which one? [REPOST of ID# 91915 This is a repost! This is a repost! This is a repost!] You (GeorJoy) ask: "Can one have received the Holy (GHOST) and not know?" This is a good question, but before it can be answered we need to know: What do you mean when you say "RECEIVED the Holy Ghost (Spirit)"? By "received" do you mean "baptized by", "filled with", "indwelt by", all of the above, none of the above? Because the Bible itself makes a distinction between "baptized by the Holy Spirit" and "filled with the Holy Spirit", we too must make a distinction between the two terms. Baptized and filled do not both mean the same thing. Filled is not just another way of saying baptized. 1 Cor 12:13 NASB For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Note that here the Bible says: "By one Spirit we were all baptized." Notice that this verse, in contrast with Acts 2:4, DOES use both Spirit and baptized in one sentence. This is how we were initially placed into the body of Christ. It ocurred to each of us ONCE -- when we received Christ as Savior and were born again. Also note that in Acts 2:4, the text there does NOT say: "And they were all baptized with the Holy Spirit." It uses the word "filled". "And they were all FILLED (emphasis mine) with the Holy Spirit." Filled, not baptized. Not according to the plain text of the Scripture. So, each individual believer is baptized by the Holy Spirit (placed into the body of Christ) ONCE, when he is born again and first becomes a Christian. However, the filling with the Spirit is a repeated reality in the life of the believer. I.e., there is ONE BAPTISM, BUT MANY FILLINGS. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldly. Also note the Bible teaches that ALL believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:9). So again, before your question can be answered we need to know: What do you mean when you say "RECEIVED the Holy Ghost (Spirit)?" Grace to you, Radioman2 This is a repost! This is a repost! This is a repost! |

194 | Where in Acts do you find individuals... | 1 Thess 5:21 | Radioman2 | 96404 | ||
If Acts is a blueprint for all church history, where in the Book of Acts does one find *INDIVIDUALS* SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? This is a SPECIFIC question that calls for a SPECIFIC answer. Cite the chapter and verse in Acts where one finds *INDIVIDUALS* SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come. If one cannot back up their answer with chapter and verse, then one has not answered the question. --Radioman2 [DO077-1] |

195 | Can a person lose salvation? | Luke 15:11 | Radioman2 | 96402 | ||
He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you post questions, go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) --Radioman2 |
