Thank you for your explanations of scripture. I spend hours, everyday, in talking to our Father in heaven. There is no greater pleasure than spending time with with the Lord and have experienced all of the ways that you describe in hearing and learning his truth. God bless

Those who live by the law will be judged by the law. Those that embrace God's Holy Spirit have already fulfilled the law through the works of Jesus Christ. God's children depend on his Spirit to change them and teach them to love.

I agree. There was a purpose behind the denial and that was to humble Peter so that he could lead the Church after the ascension.

I don't know and it's not important to me. What is important is God's message of salvation through faith in the works of God.

Adam and Eve eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge is an allegorical account of Israel placing themselves under the Law. Abraham had been granted righteousness through believing and this would be how his descendants were to follow but Israel failed to believe and looked back to Egypt, just...

I guess you just ignore Job 32:1.

Never said that. The Apostles died, Jesus died, etc .

The most important message in the book of Job is his self righteous approach and how God used Satan to reveal the truth to Job. After seeing this truth Job humbled himself before God and has a righteousness through faith. This message is what most Christians need to hear
