There are laws which were limited to the Israelites themselves and their communities.
Like Circumcision for instance part of the Abraham covenant.
When Abraham came to God his faith in what God told him was accounted to him as righteousness.
There was no laws at this point in time.
Then because...
It doesn't work with me. You want to discuss something of the truth that is fine. But I don't play games. The truth is given me by the LORD, if you want to question anything I say, that is fine but don't play games they are for the unlearned.
But what about Christianity and Jesus Christ. The above in no way relates or includes any type of Christianity or Christ himself. Good if you want a lesson in Hinduism but nothing relates to Christianity as in Christ and the history with the disciples and before with the Prophets. How about...
What is the difference between YOU and those Christians you say:
Does everyone grow at the same spiritual growth rate?
Christ says " Not all who say 'Lord', 'Lord' he will say " Go away, I never knew you"
Being saved is doing as Christ did... Obeying his teachings to love God and love...
There is the problem:- "Let's say I want to follow the word of God."
Unless you search with all your heart...want to know the truth how can you ever find it?
No matter what people tell you, it all begins with you and your heart.
The parable of the seed scatterer and what happens to the seed...
Not at all... we are both repeating what John said in the letters he wrote. Emphasizes on the word 'deliberately'.
What is taught by another comes from another's oil. Everyone must have their own supply.
I think you misunderstand. John 3:16 tells us God loved the world he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes on him should not perish but have eternal life.
If we confess our sins God is just and will forgive us our sins. A child of God does not deliberately carry on sinning.
Why...
How authentic were Mahomet and Joseph Smith?
Didn't it strike you strange an Angel instead of the Holy Spirit gave them their messages?
Gold bars and all Moses Got was Stone but written by God.
Neither Mahomet or Joseph Smith born of the line of Issac, do you not find that strange?
It does...
What redemption would Lucifer expect?
If, you threw yourself off a bridge you would find the real Tyrant is Satan.
Lucifer didn't set you free he just kept you shackles tight around you so good is he as deceiving you cannot see your own worst enemy.
'Granted'??? You tell me how a mentally disabled person has any time granted to dwell on their circumstances when they do not know what their circumstances are? It is a moot point.
.
Mentally disabled people cannot ask the question 'WHY?'.
Well everyone has opinions but yours does not...
Literally that would be impossible.... Rather the NT shows the fulfillment of the OT and now people live in Spirit and Truth.
Does anyone understand what that means, those who have read the bible, that is.
People like who? What exactly does a person have to do to be sent to hell?
Vengeful God? Does a Judge who sentences the guilty for breaking law do so from vengeance?
When you break the law it isn't vengeance. The law is there to protect. If you break it knowing the consequence it is not...
I tend to disagree there are many people coping out there with different disabilities. Some who get through the hard times by their faith in God. Talking about priorities - for some people their faith being made a priority is the reason they survive.
So given the facts I believe you have a...
You believe food, water and procreation make the lives of atheist rich and full?
You see what you did there? Are you saying atheists do not get sick, mentally ill or without hope?
Your question was not about rich full lives. It was
"Is Religion a Necessity?"For the purpose of this...
Jeremiahcp,
I am not sure how you propose to make them mutually acceptable when comparing.
Food, water and procreation are all physical attributes to the sustainment of life.
Without food and water no one survives. Without procreation human beings end.
But the purpose of life is not found in...
Now that is the best 'cop out' scared of losing the argument retreat I have ever seen. You cannot seriously believe no one sees you have lost your argument? :-)
