  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do you agree that christians should keep the 10 Commandments? (4)

allow scripture to tell you what love is. I don't see in scripture where love is obedience to the law.

The law was nailed to the cross when Christ was. But one must be in Christ. We see that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ are none of His. So therefore they will be judged by their works. And we all know that works will not save a man.

allow scripture to tell you what love is. I don't see in scripture where love is obedience to the law.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Keeping the commandments and having the Spirit seems pretty close.

In Rev. 2-3 the church are Judge by their works. Does that mean they did not have Christ? That can not be the case for in chapter 1 He is seen walking among them.

But do have any idea what that means?
"Walking in the Spirit", God's Spirit that is,
is walking the way Jesus walked in that same Spirit, and He walked accorrding to God's Laws, which is not doing the "works of the flesh".
This is too easy.
Listen to the bidding Jesus. He says it is easy.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I have no clue what anyone wouldn't like - no love that. Salvation isn't earned but accepted as the free gift that it is!!!

The comment that it is to easy is all that I need to prove that you think salvation is earned. We have the wages of sin is death and the salvation is a free gift - Rom 6:23.

Jesus offers thei gift with out obligation, please take Him up on it. There is libety in Christ Jesus.

What superceded the law?

Is there anything in this world that can superceded a law that is a transcription of the love of God? You mortal man are really clever if you can invent any.
No there isn't any thing thathat can supercede the love of God. God is free to supercede anything He does and no one you can stop HIm. One can refuse a free gift though.

I really wish you would take an honest look at Jer 31:31-34 for starters. I think that one should also consider Hebrews 8 very closely.

It also woulld be beneficial to consider Mat 26:28,MK 14:24,and LK 22:20.

Its a commandment that's why i "harp" on it. It proves that law exists but you don't wan't to admit that so you're claiming its not relevant. Its totally relevant because it directly relates to abstaining from adultery which is a commandment.
Where does te NT record a command thou shalt not commit fornacation? I certianly admit that fornication is a sexual sin against both God and the body. It however isn't included in adultery because Paul list both as acts of the flesh which those who are led by the Spirit don't do and not because it is a command.

Please quote the post this occurs in. God's expression of love occurs at and on the cross, not in the law.

Your question is probably a carefully loaded one that requires avoiding the truth. And doesn't Paul also say something about not needing the scholmaster any longer. Just read both verses and not your proof text. Only a child need to be led about by the hand and shown how to use the facilities. Well I'll be you not only quoted it, but also emphasized it. Now if you would just put it into practice. That is exactly what I Tim 1:9-10 says.

What a mix and confuse believe.[/quote]That isn't mixed at all.

I Tim 1:9-10. And for the believer only was the law nailed to the cross. Only the beleiver has accessed the grace and gift of God. The believer has passed from death to life - Jn 5:24. This shows that the believer won't appear at the white throne judgement for condemnation and punishment of being banned from the presence of God.

Yes it does and you're trying to use it to prove we're obligated to the law which isn't a NT law or obligation. The law we're obligated in the NT is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

One is condemned by the law. You identify yourself and there is no need to label you as you wave that label from the roof top and yell about it. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

You clearly boast.

Very nice testimony, sister. The position he takes allows for manipulation, control and bondage. It gives a sense of power.

I guess we'll have to let death or the rapture to settle the question about salvation at the white throne judgment which the Christian won't appear. We have already passed. If not we'll see you at the white throne judgment and recieve a sentence of death with you.

But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

The law of sin and death isn't the carnal mind.
