I am inclined to agree. A good thesis on any subject involves different view points on a subject. It is similar to a debate, but in writing. One has to discuss both sides of an argument, consider the evidence for both and then come to a conclusion. Therefore, good teaching on a subject like...

I don't know what the relevance the last sentence has to do with your quote of the Romans 8 verse. What this shows is that because of the sin which is present in his flesh, he is unable to keep the Law. This was the whole problem with the Old Covenant. It was continually broken because of the...

One has to realise that the Pharisees did not follow the Torah alone. They compiled the Tulmud, which added many extra rules which God never instituted. Jesus said through them and that is why He saw them as super religious hypocrites. We have those type of people in our churches today - the...

Rubbish. You are cobbling together two separate verses to make the Bible say what you want it to say. The fact that you are misusing the Bible in this way shows that you don't have the spiritual discernment to know what the new creation really is. So, there is nothing more that I can add to...

Your Scripture reference is directed toward Israel, not the Christian Church. There is a doctrine that the Church replaced Israel, but it is untrue. The reference predicts that there will be a restoration in Israel in the last days, perhaps during the 1000 year millennial reign where Jesus...

When a believer becomes a new creature in Christ, he is dead with Christ to the Law. He was crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, rose with Christ, and is seated at the right hand of God with Christ. The Mosaic Law cannot apply to someone who is dead to it. The Scripture says: "For...

The Mosaic Law applied to Old Covenant people. Under the New Covenant, those who received Christ as Saviour became totally new creations through the indwelling Holy Spirit. This involved a whole transformation as their spirit, which was dead in trespasses and sins beforehand, was made alive...

Your views are based on eisegesis, which is reading stuff into the Bible which is not there. The quote about a thousand years being a day to the Lord, does not refer to creation at all. Paul is referring to those who are concerned about the delay in the Second Coming of Christ, to show that...
