    Gentiles and Torah

    Hi, Don't these verses prove that Gentiles are included into Israel therefore they have to obey the same commandments Israel were given in the Torah? - Ephesians 2:12 says, ''remember that you [Gentiles] were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and...

    Another jesus. Another gospel.

    One of the most astounding and annoying positions held by many of the anti-Sabbatarians I've talked to is that Jesus broke the Sabbath. These people present their jesus with a straight face and insist that he could transgress the law that he was born under with impunity. Their jesus, because he...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    The Ten Commandments were known and obeyed by God’s faithful people, presumably even before the Law was given at Sinai. Later incorporated into the new covenant, they constitute the basic moral code for humanity (as further explained by Jesus) and are obeyed to demonstrate the believer’s love...

    Followers of mainstream Christianity and their eternal destination

    Hello, Where do followers of mainstream Christianity go when they die? Heaven or hell? The Bible seems to say both. Heaven. Because: Ephesians 2:8, ''For by grace are you saved through faith...'' Matthew 5:19. ''Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches...

    Seeing : Salvation

    Reader, When a person hears the "Gospel", as, "faith comes by hearing" ... then this faith is proof something happened in the heart of the Believer that God SEES... as "God sees the heart" And what is that, that God sees that has happened inside you? God sees your "repentance" ....that is of...

    Artificial Intelligence Writes a Law for a fictional setting

    Hello folks. AI has been making the rounds lately over the past year or so (NPR article from 2023), and it has come to my attention that AI could in theory be used to write laws. So, I tested that out, with the locally installed open source AI (Mistral 7B) on my computer writing a basic law for...

    JESUS : Is our Sanctification

    - Jesus is our Sanctification. Reader....are you born again, or just water baptized and religious? Jesus said..>"You must be born again"......and water can't do that for you. So, when we are "In Christ", we are sanctified..... as Christ is our Sanctification. 1 Corinthians 1:30 And here...

    What is "Your First Love?"

    SCRIPTURE: 'But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate love you had for me at the beginning. Think about how far you have fallen! Repent and do the works of love you did at first. I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place of influence if you do not repent. '...

    Follow the Law? Ok, then but WHICH laws in the Torah?

    Hi, I'm investigating whether or not what the Messianics believe is true. I have a question. For Messianics and those who keep the Law, following the Torah is very important. However, on 119 Ministries' website, David Wilber's website, Lion and Lamb Ministeries' website and Passion For Truth's...

    Review of "Paul and the Law" (1987) by Heikki Räisänen

    Heikki Räisänen (Paul and the Law, 1987) is critical of Paul and what he sees as the many self-contradictions and ambiguities in Paul’s position. Paul sets up the antithesis of faith and works and paradoxically claims that the law is overcome and yet remains valid. Räisänen says that Paul “is...

    Go : and sin no more

    - Paul teaches us that the born again are """dead to sin and alive to God."""" IF you are just water baptized, or similar, and were lied to about "water washes your sin away"... then reader, go to the Cross, and receive Jesus as your Savior, by Faith....today. Now, How did that happen?.... How...

    How to put on : The Armor of God

    - Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6. So. reader....who's armor is it? A.) ITs Gods. So this means its Spiritual, and you can't see it or provide it for yourself. What does that mean? It means : 1.) you don't work for it, 2.) and you don't strive to have it, 3.)...

    Sinless : Saints of God

    - What is the difference between a Christian, and an unbeliever? There are a few. You, if you are born again, and not just water baptized (sprinkled) and religious) are going to heaven, and they are not. You are born again, and they are not. They have their sin, and Christ has all of yours...

    = Born again

    What does it mean to be born again.. 1.) Your sins are on Christ because "God made JESUS to be sin for us, who knew no sin"..... And God's Righteousness has become yours, as you have become "the Righteousness of God in Christ"....."made Righteous". This is : "Salvation". This is "Redemption"...

    Transgression of the law vs sinful nature

    I've been debating a few "we're under the law" people lately and one of the things that's clearly misunderstood is what trangression of the law is. There's sinful acts which we wrestle with. This is our sinful nature. Paul talks about how we want to follow our mind in Christ but we wrestle...
