Hello, This interaction has gotten beyond the purpose of the forum, so I will stop. If you wish, contact me via e-mail which can be found in my user profile. Steve |

82 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | srbaegon | 212122 | ||
Hello, You are correct that the issue is a spiritual one, but emotions have nothing to do with the matter. Truth is truth regardless of how we feel. I also did not equate homosexual with transsexual activity. They are not the same though they are both sinful practice. You asked if the list of sins are any more heinous. All sin is heinous and carry the penalty of death as you have pointed out. Your last set of verses from Isaiah and Paul are directed to the those who live by faith in obedience to the Word of God. They are not given to the general populace, which you seem to infer by your use of them. Steve |

Hello Nevvvvine, What do you mean by immoral? Whatever your answer, transexuality is sin. Let's start with Deut. 22:5 (ESV) A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. Regardless of direct applicability in to Christians, the understanding of the verse is that men and women are different and are demonstrate a difference. There is a creation precept at the root of this. Men and women are equal before God but have different roles--men are to be the leaders and women helpers of their men. This was true of Israel and carried forth into the church. Steve |

Hello Nevvvvine, Tim never said we lose "the filling on account of 'sin' in our lives." He said the filling comes and goes. Refilling does not constitute loss as could be demonstrated by filling a glass of water, dumping out half, then refilling it. It is a similar concept with the Holy Spirit. Steve |

85 | Gospels are OT books? | John 1:1 | srbaegon | 211673 | ||
Hello MJH, Yes, Sanders and Wright have written extensively on this as has Dunn and others. I have read one of Wright's books. He regards Judeo-Christian history as little more than an exercise in religious philosophy. No wonder he gets it wrong. Steve |

Hello MJH, Whether or not Tim Hegg is evasive, he is definitely wrong. For instance, writing on Acts 15 he states: The "issue" at hand was whether or not someone who was not a Jew could be saved. To put it another way, how could a Gentile become a covenant member with Israel and share in the blessings of the covenant? The prevailing belief of the Judaisms [sic] in Paul's day was that only Jews had a place in the world to come since God had made the covenant of blessing with Israel and no other nation. (Tim Hegg, "Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council," TorahResource, 2008) Here are just two misstatements in just this one paragraph: 1) There was never a question of whether Gentiles could become Christians. That had been answered Acts 11:1-8. 2) Hegg qoutes 15:1-2 to begin the article but completely ignores the actual point being made which is given in 15:5 "But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, 'It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.'" They wanted the Gentile believers to keep the Mosaic Law which Gentiles were never asked to keep. Steve |

Hello Ovadyah, I did not say that I did not believe your statement. I said that you agreed to something I never said. The references I referred to were the Scripture passages to which you add a Pharisaic reference which Paul did not bring up. Steve |

88 | ... | Eph 2:15 | srbaegon | 211249 | ||
Hello Ovadyah, We cannot communicate. Your first sentence is an agreement to something I never said. You add meaning to my references that is simply not there. There is no point in continuing. Steve |

89 | ... | Eph 2:15 | srbaegon | 211212 | ||
Hello ovadyah, OK, you're doing it again, so let's cut to the heart of the matter. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law. (You have already agreed to this.) If he is the fulfillment, what is the point of keeping it except what has been explicitly directed to Christians in the epistles? Note that Paul was rather specific about what he wrote. How much of the Law is to be kept? Gentiles are not expected to live like Jews (see Galatians 2:11-14; Acts 15). What is your personal purpose for desiring to keep the Law? You have already said that it is not necessary for justification or sanctification. Are you doing it just because you can? Steve |

Hello ovadyah, Friend, you are building a case from pretext based on your foregone conclusion. You summarize academicians as matter-of-fact, without giving us the benefit of knowing what they actually said. You cite the pre-fulfillment words of the prophets and Christ as applicable to to post-fulfillment without accounting for context or audience. Finally, Paul's epistle to the Galatians puts the whole matter to rest. The Law could not justify and cannot sanctify. We rest on the finished work of Christ. Steve |

Hello DL, What could be more evil? Enabling the evil-doer to continue oppression so that children starve is more evil. Sin has consequences which extend even to those uninvolved directly with the transgression or the perpetrator. That is an observable fact. If God simply provided for those affected, he would be unjust by enabling the irresponsibility of the transgressor. It would be the same as the U.S. government bailing out the banking, auto, credit, etc. industries for stupid past decisions. Instead, retribution should be meted out on the oppressor, which is something God has promised to do but not in our time frame. He is not slow as some men count slowness. Steve |

No, it is not necessary to suppose standing upright. I was simply giving the full quote in its context. I do not think the article proves the Bible account. There is nothing in Genesis 3 that would cause us to think there could not have been a member of the snake family with leg appendages--working or not. Steve |

Hello again, We get many questions on this forum about the origination of Cain's wife. Sometimes people get upset when the answer that she is his sister. As you have mentioned, the purity of the gene pool would have allowed this to occur without harm until the Lord put a stop to it. As an aside, may I recommend that your ministry be to the Air Force, since that is where the Lord has placed you currently. Be faithful in this thing in order to be useful in the next. :-) Steve |

98 | Is this the authority to forgive sins? | Matt 9:7 | srbaegon | 210286 | ||
Hello glenaglena, This was flagged as a note rather than a question, so it was almost missed. This passage demonstrates that Jesus had the authority to forgive sins. He demonstrated that authority by performing a miracle that all could see. Steve |

99 | To whom did Jesus refer with the goat. | Matt 26:3 | srbaegon | 210216 | ||
Hello Mimmie, I assume you are referring to the judgment of the nations where Christ divides the sheep and the goats (Matt 25:31-46). If that is the case, the goats are those who do not believe in Christ as evidenced by how they treated his people. Steve |

I agree that there is a great chasm fixed between the dead in torment and the dead in Abraham's bosom. But I was speaking of the possible interaction between the dead and the living--another matter entirely. Steve |
