YES!!!! It is called CONTINUING REVELATION!!
The Gates of Hell will not prevail against the Kingdom of Heaven---because of the Continuing REVELATION, that will be sent by God, to His anointed prophets and Apostles.
When there are no current prophets and Apostles leading the Church of Jesus...
These were the cultural laws (that surrounded Israel) and that which they had to deal with in getting along with their unfriendly neighbors. It was a product of their cultural time period.
I see your reasoning, if you are talking about the political and religious control of a State run Church that limits religious freedom. The control of the Catholic Church----necessitated protesters against this political religious monopoly----so that other sects could be created by other men...
Only in Parables......which by nature...were not meant to be taken literally. The Trinity theory was created by those who took those words literally. Just like Nicodemus missed it---when Jesus told him not to marvel because he was told that he must be "born again" to see heaven.
Changing them is what caused the people to transgress and do bad things. To break the Covenant is to loose the Promised Land, Covenant status, and be scattered.
Are you saying that your ways are above God's ways and your thoughts are above God's thoughts? As finite beings, we may forget...
HE DIDN'T. Let me explain.....
When God's Covenant with mankind is broken and the ordinances associated with it are changed by man.....that generation of people are cast-out (or scattered) from the Promised Land, until there is a new generation of people (who qualifies themselves) to return to...
The Old Covenant is for Ancient Israel.
The New Covenant is for Jews and Gentiles.
The New and Everlasting Covenant is for our time period.
Some still choose to live by the Old Covenant (without the direction of prophets)
Some still choose to live by the remains of the New Covenant (without...
We SHOULD change our ways....to suit God......especially when the spirit is willing, however the problem lies with the fact that the flesh is weak (we are rebellious and stubborn by nature).
Matthew 26:41
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but...
Depending on the timeframe that we are talking about----there was Moses' day (where he was both the Law Giver and the Prophet) while wondering in the wilderness before they got to the Promised Land. After which time period, the civil and religious duties were divided between two parties---the...
God's character is unchanging.....he will always be all-knowing and all-good.
On the other hand---
Man's character is always changing.....and we need constant direction based upon our current situation.
The goal of the Mosaic Law was to turn bad men into good men.
The goal of the Gospel Law was to turn good men into great men.
When I said the above idea I was talking about the performances and ordinances of the Mosaic laws (religious law). I was not talking about the combined Secular Law that...
Matthew 5:17-18
17 ¶Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Here we learn----that all the...

OTE="Shadow Wolf, post: 5013275, member: 2558"]Jesus said, at least a few times, he did not come to do away with the law, not a word of the law is to...
Awesome response!!! I like how you think!! :)
It is true.....eternal element (eternal matter/ spirit matter) is invisible to mortal eyes.....but spiritual eyes CAN SEE spirit matter as well as that which is eternal in nature (when that person is overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and mortal body...
You do realize that you are confusing the OLD COVENANT (which was Judaism of the Old World and it was a Theocrasy) with the NEW COVENANT (created for Christians in the New World ---it not being a Theocrasy).
Your assertion is the equivalent to the religious standards used during the Mid-Eval...
Do you see the danger in using terms that are not Biblical and then claiming it's source is taken straight from the Bible?
No where in the Bible does it say.....Trinity or Monothesism. Those terms are THEORIES (not DOCTRINES) about what people have come to believe that the Biblie is "trying"...
Give me the book, chapter, and, verse saying, "God said, "You act according to your faculty." I have only talked about the DOCTRINES coined and taught out of the Bible.....I do not support present day dogmas (madmade theories about what people want the Bible to say) no matter how clever.
1). The above idea about "One God" was presented to describe the "oneness" (unity) of purpose that exists between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. It was meant figurately not literally. It was not meant to mean there was only 1 being---it was an adjective to describe "oneness"...
