    Head coverings

    Sexist and misogynistic are not Biblical terms or viewpoints and have no value in either Scriptural or Spiritual debate. I do not see that the text is suggesting that women are supposed to wear a particular garment to demonstrate that they are under the authority of a male, only that she...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I would believe that if everyone I knew who felt the Lord told them to abstain had showed this weakness. No, among them were many who were quite in control of this appetite, and some of those even fought for their freedom to consume it until the Lord spoke to them. I do not find that the Bible...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I have a great disappointment that our governments are encouraging schools to teach our children to sin and, as in the safe schools program in Australia, to force it upon them. Yes, I have written to make my disappointment known. I have put this here so that you can know my heart. It is not off...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I wished to return to my post for I awakened this morning to discover I have made an error in judgment. I have already made it clear that I love the Law and the OT and that I see them as the word of God. At this moment my family and I are once again studying the tabernacle and are on Aaron's...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    You, and I are in agreement there. Grace is not an excuse, but the power of God, as Paul teaches in Romans. I was wondering why Paul's writings brought such angst to the OP. I do not read any conflict between Paul's writings and the OT except you take what he says out of context. Understand the...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I do not need a set of instructions to love my wife. I loved my wife from the beginning, without Paul's writings and this may come as a surprise to you but I only married my wife on the condition that it pleased God. I asked him for permission to marry her. You may need to answer this, who was...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    lol. I do not know how it is that a believer does not want that which is holy and good. I do not despise the Law, I look into it for it teaches me justice, but I do not look to the Law for justification. Personally I love the Law for it is good and beneficial in so many ways. I do not see the...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    Ah, ok. Since I do not ignore OT we have no quarrel. One of my favourite passages of Scripture is Psalm 1 because God spoke to me by it. I truly believe you have no understanding of the NT if you do not consider it by the revelation of the OT.

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I was just answering the quotation that I associate the Law with salvation. I do not. You just said the same thing I said, so let me clarify for you. I follow Christ. Christ was lawful by nature and I exemplify that nature. If I do this I too become lawful. When I say I do not feel obligated to...

    How do you Crucify the Flesh?

    1. Where on earth in Romans 2:15 & Gal 3:3 does it say Eve chose the Law? Eve could not have chosen the law because it did not even exist till Moses. 2. The law was not given to save, that is why God gave sacrifices that spoke of Christ who was coming. 3. After fulfilling what? The Scripture...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I think you misunderstood me. I do not link salvation with keeping the Law. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I do not feel obligated to the law, only to Christ. However if I follow Christ the Law will be in its place for Christ was lawful: in him was no sin.

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I had to wonder how you read that in there, so I read it again. I find it interesting that you find James so easy to understand and Paul so hard and it makes me wonder if you do. I think whatever we read is going to be open to interpretation. Don't tell me the Jews didn't interpret things...

    I want to get back to Christianity but I don't know how.

    This can be very difficult to answer since you are not specific about your experience. Have you repented and believed in Jesus Christ? I ask because it sounds like you may have. Have you been baptised in water? As a Pentecostal I would also ask, have you receive the Holy Spirit with evidence...

    The Head Covering

    I don't see how. Perhaps you could elaborate. Neither of the quotations are gender specific nor is the context about gender in either case. Your argument may be better served by the context of 1 Corinthians 11 where Paul states, however neither is the man without the woman or the woman the man...

    The Mystery of Pauls Writings

    I don't know much about observing the Torah as I'm not even sure what it is and I walk by the law of love that Jesus taught, which is not opposed to the Law given to Moses that acts as a school teacher to guide me. I suppose that could be called a light to my feet. I'm afraid I am not a...
