    Why doesn't God reveal himself unequivocally to the entire world?

    The premise is wrong. He does "reveal Himself unequivocally" to every person, and they all get the message... as the following passage clearly demonstrates. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in...

    IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?

    Sure, no problem. I mentioned all the elements that were in the new covenant that are in Jeremiah's prophecy of the new covenant. I'll repeat those here: Every element mentioned in the new covenant applies to us. He put His law in our minds, and wrote it on our hearts; He is our God, and we are...

    IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?

    Just repeating the claim that we are not under the new covenant does not answer the question. Every element mentioned in the new covenant applies to us. He put His law in our minds, and wrote it on our hearts; He is our God, and we are His people. No one needs to teach us to know God because...

    IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?

    I don't know what your point is. Are you saying that if we are not Jewish that none of the elements of the new covenant apply to us... He does not put His law in our minds and write it on our hearts (Jer 31:33), and He is not our God, and We are not His people (Jer 31:33), and We do not know...

    IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?

    31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which...

    IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?

    The new covenant is "new", as attested to by God (according to the writer of Hebrews). In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. (Heb 8:13) God used the word, "new" purpose when He told Jeremiah of the new covenant which was to come because He was indicating that the...

    If we are all sinners (and we are), how can we get into Heaven where there is "no impure thing"?

    "No impure thing will enter heaven" plus "all humans are impure" does not equal "virtually all humans are headed to Hell". So, you are saying the answer is to not focus on God's grace, but we must focus only on our sinfulness and try our best to eliminate it? Have you never read about what...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    Lol. It's righteous to say "No, Lord, I'm not going to do what you say" when the Lord tells you to do something? You're gonna double down on that? So, you would not contend that the one acceptable answer is "Yes, Lord. You are in control. I will do what you say."? Thanks for clarifying...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    I 100% agree. He tells you in a dream to rise up, kill, and eat, you don't say, "No, Lord". I 100% agree. We are to walk in the Spirit all the time. If we do it, we will not gratify the desires of the flesh. But we don't always walk in the Spirit, and when we don't walk in the Spirit, we end up...

    The Righteous Requirements Of The Law

    I'll give you're meme a try... "Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness." (1 Jn 3:4) "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." (Ro 6:14) "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." (Ro 8:1)...

    Abortion takes top spot as leading cause of death for fifth year

    That's terrible. But I am surprised that homicide is not mentioned at all, or did I miss it? There is certainly more attention given to gun violence than abortion violence.

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    Maybe you could clarify a couple things about your beliefs. Concerning Lordship, you say we should follow the Bible "as if God were speaking directly to us". Do you also say that when God actually speaks to us directly, as He does all day every day by His Spirit, that we should obey Him and do...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    Consistent with what you are saying, the big problem with the Lordship Doctrine is that the Bible is made "Lord" and not actually Jesus Himself. Even if that were not a problem, a person's sins after they have "made Jesus their Lord" prove that their commitment wasn't worth the paper it was...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    No it's not. He is referring to Himself, not the Bible. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    I'm saying that James was not promoting a faith plus works recipe for salvation. His "faith without works is dead" comments were aimed at ending hypocritical Christian living... to people saying they believed in the tennants of the gospel (mercy, liberty, love, etc.) but whose actions were the...

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

    They are examples of faith plus works. In Abraham's case, God instructed him to offer his son as a sacrifice on an alter. Just saying, "I believe you" and doing nothing would not have been enough. Follow-through was necessary. But faith plus works was also necessary when he didn't sacrifice...
