hmm... interesting point. Thank you for sharing. Why would Satan feel so threatened by women? A thought I've had, if Jesus is against women having authority or to teach men about him, then why did he choose to show himself to a female (Mary Magdelene) first? and then instruct her to tell...

Well apart from the fact men can't physically have children, No. God calls men and women according to the culture they live in, their personality, faith level, the circumstances surrounding them and their response to his call. Men tend to focus more on being useful and doing things whereas...

Lucifer means "light bearer" or "bringing light" Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Lucifer Satan means "adversary" Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Satan Meanings of names in Hebrew culture often describe specific physical or character traits...

In Hebrews 7, the law it is talking about there, is not the ten commandments, rather it is the law of the sacrificial system. This can be noted through the usage of the Levitical priesthood. The main message the writer of the Hebrews is trying to give is the reason Jesus was needed and how he...

What does the law do to people? In Gal 1, where is the law mentioned? In Gal 2, Paul says those who seek to be justified by law who nullify the grace of Jesus, not the law itself. (verses 15-21) What is it that Christ has set us free from? What is the new covenant? You said: It was added...

Pinetree, why is it you hate the law more than sin? From my understanding, law existed long before sin ever did. And what is it about the law you hate so much? I'm not meaning to mock or anything, but thats the way it appears to me from what you're saying. I don't understand. Please help me...

Dear Jesus, I just wanted to say thank you sooo much for the grace and the love you have shown us. You care so much for us and want us to know you and be restored to our relationship with you before sin destroyed it. However you also want us to be restored to each other as well. For sin did not...

Pinetree, what are your thoughts on these verses? ACTS 6:12-14 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. 13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this...

Hebrews 10:5-10 First covenant: Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings this is the way people made holy. God not pleased with them, even with the law stating they must take place temporary solution to sin forgiveness and grace through animal blood Second...

Actually in Romans 6; law is not the key issue. SIN is the key issue. Paul is wanting to Romans to stop being slaves to sin and instead be slaves to righteousness/holiness/obedience/God. One leads to death, the other to life. ROM 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but...

Yes I believe the "new" covenant began at the cross. No I don't believe the "covenant of grace" began at the cross. No I don't believe the "covenant of law" ended at the cross.

You are completely correct. When Adam and Eve sinned, they gave up their right to direct their own path and gave themselves completely over to the control of sin and Satan. However God didn't leave them there. In Gen 3:15, he says he will put emnity between mankind and Satan. Therefore Satan...

I was overstating to show how humankind, affected so much with sin, sees things. We don't know anything except sin, therefore unless we have God to intervene, we don't know how to recognise what sin is, nor do we have any concept with just how destructive, deceptive and abhorrant sin is. And I...

I don't have an issue with this verse. I agree with it wholeheartedly. Should I have an issue with it? You are right. That’s where the Bible story began and was meant to stay. However people chose to continue being a slave to sin instead of a slave to obedience. (Rom 6:15-18) Therefore they...

HEB 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without...

The simple answer: It won't happen... The only way you're going to get anyone to reconcile with the RCC is to reject what you have and join them, they will not compromise, especially with the current pope. If Protestants want to see the three sects of Christianity join again, they're the ones...

Why do you think the old covenant was insufficient? Hebrews 10:3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. HEB 10:5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did...

If you admit that grace has always existed, then how come you don't believe the first covenant was based upon grace? What happened to grace when people were under the "covenant of law"? I am saying, the law is separate to the first and second covenants. The old covenant was based in the blood...
