There is a way to get all the refs written down at once, if you have The Word software (theword.net). It has a very useful tool that monitors all the text that you copy (either within the program or...

maybe I should change the wording. what i meant was you can make something unrighteous and be guiltless, but if you did unrighteous acts yourself then you would be guilty of sin.

Making something evil is not the same as doing evil. For example, God made evil people:
Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another...

I understand where you're coming from. But could you explain why the law has been "cast out (gal 4.30)," "is being cleared away (2co 3.11-13)," "transposed" at change of priesthood (he 7.12)? In what...

True. While as many as worshipped other people were rebuked (rev 19.10, 22.9, mt 4.10, jn 4.22, ac 14:11-15, col 2.18, ro 1.25, ac 3.12, ex 20.3, et al.), those worshipping Jesus were never rebuked,...

have you looked into the akjv (american king james version)? According to its author it is the exact replica of the KJV, except that it changed the old word style spelling and that's it...

I believe there are not just one group of unbelievers, but three.
my argument rests on 1co 14.23, 13:2, and Luke 8:13.
1) If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues,...

It's okay to assert that someone is wrong, just as long as you supply evidence with your arguments. Jesus once said "If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong (jn 18.23)." It is, however...

I agree with this. The way to avoid the problem that keyzer soze mentioned is to not claim any of the works as done by yourself. In fact, one of the commandments includes to not claim glory for...

I see. So you're saying that as soon as one chooses to do a ritual observance of the law, he enters into covenant with the law, and they are required to abide by all the things written in the law or...

This is a good observation.

I had said before that faith obtains us access into grace, which saves us.
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and...

faith i would say is a work of God- “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent (John 6:29)"-which is to give us access into grace -"Through him we have also obtained access by...

Does "works of the law" really mean the outward ritual ordinances of the law only? This verse seems to include doing moral laws as part of "works of the law:"
For all who rely on works of the law...

Amen, they didn't do the will of God (mt 7.21), which according to the scriptures is this:
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish...

Amen. No bad tree can produce good fruit, and no good true can produce bad fruit (lk 6.43).

Paul said that he'd rather find out about people's power (through their works) rather than their talk...

there's a passage in the bible very related to this topic but I'll leave it up to the audience for interpretation:
"Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the...

Everything that happens blessing or curse is good for us.
"he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later...

Our faith gives us access to grace, which grace, in turn, saves us.
"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God."...

Obviously Jesus wasn't created, because he said before Abraham was, "I am." He was eternally existent. He also said he does not change (Heb 13:8).
However I do find evidence that may say that Jesus...

no one who knows God sins. therefore, it would most definitely be "turning your back on God" if you sinned against him.
"And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his...

Jesus declared "all foods clean" clearly overwriting the law that God gave earlier.
But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, the kite, the...

totally agree with this. no divorce is possible in the relationship with Christ, but we still need to say sorry just like we do to another person when we sin against him.

What would be...

I believe God created a black canvas for which to paint himself in so that his contrast from the darkness would evidence his glory. It began as a totally black canvas in Genesis 1:2... then slowly...

In the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see that he incurred "debt," then lost that debt after asking for forgiveness and being forgiven, then he incurred debt again (Matthew 18:23-35). vs 35...

yea that does make sense.
Folly (evil) is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it (evil) far from him. Proverbs 22:15 = good

Thing is, evil can be spoken of as sin and also as disaster in general.
There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and...

In my opinion, he brings evil upon all flesh to discipline them.
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be...

I find that the Holy Spirit is a person of the Trinity who is often correlated with miracles and works of power.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. Then the Spirit of...

For me, I see two possible (plausible) explanations for heb 6:1-8:
1 Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of...

not saying it's right, if you thought thats what i mean.
