Bob, that's not a fair question and, respectfully, I suspect you know why. Because much more was going on at Calvary than could be taken in by the senses. If it were not so, then the Mosaic law would not have been preserved for our study. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not...

I just figure hold on to that which is good. Amen and Amen!! :clap: I'm honored and humbled and your certainly welcome. :) Certainly not, although I suspect I'm preaching to the choir. ;)

But no one was talking about New Testament law. I thought we were talking about Mitzvot. Sorry if I'm complicating things.

I'm afraid you're talking over my head. Without venturing into abstract (if you'll pardon me this much), exactly what is it that the letter kills in your estimation? I kind of doubt we agree on the nature of the second death.

Brother Jorge, who is we, and who believes all of the Mosaic law falls under the ten commandments?

I didn't bring up the number, you did.

Who are these people and what are their exact claims regarding this? Let's get specific here. I've never heard this doctrine before. The Bible says that we are to live "by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." It sounds to me like there must be something of value in even the...

Law-keeping, whether it be from the heart or by rote requires a law to begin with. Law-keeping, whether it be from the heart or by rote requires a law to begin with. Address a few points specifically; then you can rightly accuse me of "dodging." Hit-and-runs are not very effective, either...

Probably no one has ever been convinced by that tired, old straw man argument. And there are no 613 of God's commandments mentioned by number in the Bible, any more than there is a universally agreed-upon Christian Theology. Many Jewish scholars don't even include the last 8 of the ten...

is not nearly as false as: Why do non-atheists use this phrase? Because the church becomes more like the world every day. The myth of the Holy Spirit being involved in a hocus-pocus act on believers is going to reap a devastating weight of rewards. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’...

But Sabbath observers didn't make it up; Jesus said it. I just prefer not to throw that which is good out along with that which is obsolete. That's a pretty gross misuse of Scripture, Brother Bob. Amen and Amen, my friend!!!

If it cost $40 then what you got was not forgiveness. I'd like to be your friend. I'll never ask you for anything material. Maybe advice or prayers or something.

These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” (John 11:11)

I think this bears quoting and, therefore, repeating. Pardon my plagiarism. Brother, the reason that "Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in", without accepting Jesus, is because Jesus did not fulfill all the prophesies about the Messiah...

Ouch. That's gotta sting somethin' fierce. I'm not so much embarrassed that I didn't say it first, as I am that I didn't even see it!
