Unity, what a wonderful promise. Seems like satan is doing his work well in keeping that from happening. About the only thing Christianity is unified in is that Jesus is our Savior. Even that fact is being challenged.

Thanks and God Bless as you fight the good fight.

Indeed it is. We are not under the ten commandments as our guide, we have the Holy Spirit guiding us. Since the ten commandments were temporary the cannot be what is written on/in our hearts. It has to be Jesus love command.

The NLT doesn't agree with what you proclaim. 6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. The Glory of the New Covenant 7 The old...

Did he mean ten commandments or the Royal Law of Love? I contend he meant the Royal Law of Love the one Jesus gave us in Jn15:10. Remember gentiles never ever were under the ten commandments, and John was writing to Christians of which many were gentiles. Why would anyone contend that the Law...

Some more of the post. Jew or gentile, we are all sinners, with or without the law. The Law was never given to any gentile nation yet all are sinners. Hold on there friend, Jesus didn't leave us lawless as some like to proclaim we who believe we are not under the laws of the old covenant...

How did you know. Yes, I have to read and re-read in order to be able to comprehend all there is in God's message to us. I can only tell by what you have written as compared to scripture. Ditto I didn't realize English is simple. Hold on there partner. I will once again paste Paul's verses...

That is great to know. I was for 40 years before I was shown the real truth. Yes, Jesus was born under the Law raised under the Law and died under the Law that mankind could be freed from the Law. Notice though that the Law didn't end until Jesus fulfilled it. Another point, it was not only...

Hi John, one thing for sure quoting scripture is one way that you cannot get in trouble with all the rules of the forum. I would be nice to hear from you personally. Just hoping.

It is my understanding that Moses wrote all the laws in the book of the law. This would include what God wrote with His finger on stone. All those laws were the words of the covenant given to only one nation, Israel. God gave Jeremiah a message about the covenant given to Israel being...

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is...

Of course they don't stop working, just lip service. We don't have a great deal of prohibitions in scripture as to the nots, but the one I find that I could never live up to is Is 58: 13-14 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you...

Ellen made Jesus out to be less than the Father in her story about the plan of salvation. Sorrow filled heaven, as it was realized that man was lost ... I saw the lovely Jesus and beheld an expression of sympathy and sorrow upon His countenance. Soon I saw Him approach the exceeding bright...

Seems like Paul didn't agree with you. I cannot believe you have not studied 2Cor 3: 6-11. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was...

Hmmm! is it possible that we still have them hanging around. If someone buys into a group hook, line and sinker he/she is probably unaware of their real condition. It took a very hot day for me to wake up. What I was doing to my family, I was also doing to Jesus.

We were new Adventists and my wife conjured up a sin after reading some books from the "pen of inspiration" and of course our peers. We did a lot of long week-end camping at a lake. On the Sabbath, you know the one given only to Israel, we could take the boat out for a cruise in nature only if...

Hi Mike, since there is no promised land anymore for Israelites. Just how can gentiles coming to Christ be grafted into Israel? The Bible does not tell us we are grafted into Israel. Whoever came up with that misinformation is not thinking. Jesus is the trunk, Jesus give life and Jesus...

Icy wrote in his OP post# 1: Let's look at another aspect of what verse 8 tells us. It records the LORD as stating who the new covenant is for. "I will make a new covenant with the people of ISRAEL and with the people of JUDAH." This new covenant is ONLY with Israel and Judah. Gentiles are not...

In Adventism "the Lord's portion" means the tithe. Scripture tells us that it was the grower of crops and/or animals that paid tithe. The tent maker, candle maker or anyone else not associated with farming would not have come under the tithing system. Also, the tithe was never paid in...

Did the plan of salvation come after man sinned? Ellen wrote that it came after. Scripture says before. Is Ellen really the last word on scriptural meaning? Sorrow filled heaven, as it was realized that man was lost ... I saw the lovely Jesus and beheld an expression of sympathy and sorrow...
