    Pope Francis

    Here is a key point of agreement. No Christian - not even a Catholic Pope can contradict the Word of God and then claim that the Word of God loses and the Pope wins in that conflict.

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Under the Ex 20 covenant it was a sin - to take God's name in vain. And it is STILL a sin to do that - even for you, even for any christian that you meet. So then read Eph 6:1-2 for the details

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    And yet it is "still sin" for even a Christian to "take God's name in vain" Predictive law (Passover) ends when the event it predicts happen. Prescriptive law remains - so for example Ex 20:7

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Heb 10:4-12 speaking of the laws for animal sacrifice and ceremonial offierings... "He takes away the first to establish the second" that ceremonial law of sacrifice and offerings was "taken away" at the cross - according to Heb 10. By contrast "there REMAINS therefore a SABBATH rest for the...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Dead to the condemnation of the Law - that is rightly given to those who "take god's name in vain" does not mean "it is now ok to take God's name in vain"

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    I am glad the Law of God is written in my heart under the Jer 31 New Covenant quoted in Heb 8. instead of being deleted. "the Saints - KEEP the Commandments of God AND Their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12 -- where "the fIrst commandment with a promise - is Honor your father and mother" Eph 6:1-2...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    1 Pet 1: 10 As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. Heb...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    God says in Heb 10 that animal blood never forgave anyone of anything - it was always Christ. Rom 4 God says He "counts those things that are not as though they are" because He is not limited by time. He calls Abraham a "father of many nations" when as yet he had no children. gentiles are in...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Moses and Aaron were priests and they healed people imagining a text in the OT where priests are told not to heal someone on Sabbath - is not the same as having such a text. That "once" tells us that the Sabbath was "made for mankind" rather than "made for the old testament" or "made for Jews"...

    BobRyan said: Matt 17 - both Moses and Elijah stand with Christ in glory - before the cross. Matt 17: Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    How so? Recall that under the Jer 31:31-34 the Law of God is written on the heart. Paul has Timothy circumcised immediately after the Jerusalem council in Acts 15. That was not to guarantee that Timothy forfeited salvation - as it turns out. In Acts 21 Paul takes steps to PROVE "walks...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    AND you have seen people get saved and then "sin" a few times. The point remains. Their salvation did not get "deleted" because they commit a sin after being saved. But it is making a mistake. Sin is not limited to full on apostacy and 1 John 2:1 shows the life of the Christian where...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    what "secular work" would that be? the Gospel accounts do not show him to be doing any work on Sabbath that could not also be done by Jewish priests on Sabbath . He said it once in Mark 2:27 indicating that the "Sabbath was made for mankind" Just as in Matt 4 He said "mankind shall not live by...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    not quite correct. "Definitions of imprimatur. noun. formal and explicit approval. synonyms: countenance, endorsement, indorsement, sanction, warrant. imprimatur, (Latin: “let it be printed”)," in the Roman Catholic church, a permission, required by contemporary canon law and granted by a...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    Which still removes it from being a command coming from the Apostles in Jerusalem. Bacchiocchi argued that it was a practice that evolved over time not a decree coming from the Apostles in Jerusalem right out of the gate. I spoke to him about this and he was pretty adamant about that.
