The teaching of sin debt can easily be seen from the teaching of the kinsman redeemer. Redemption is not necessary when there is no debt to be paid. Romans 5:13, Hebrews 10:18 Redemption, defined as the action of regaining or gaining possession of something for payment or CLEARING OF A DEBT...

Bro Baptist Believer- I felt it would be remiss to not include the following: Skyrocketing crime Proposals to empty jail No cash bail. One commenter I heard said that a high 30% reoffended before their original case was heard Defunding police and the subsequent consequences that occur when...

Gas prices were approximately $2.25/gallon in January 2021. They began to rise to almost $3.50/gallon in November 2021. Russia did not invade Ukraine until Feb 24, 2022. Gas prices soaring have come entirely on Biden's watch. He has now said he will shut down the coal mines and stop...

Acts 5:14 And believers were the more added to the lord, multitudes BOTH OF MEN AND WOMEN. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Phillip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN. Sorry Lagrange, no mention of infants in...

Baptism has never saved anyone. By one being positioned in the new covenant through the ordinance of baptism, we are delivered from the wickedness and sin of types and shadows that could never take away sin and put under a doctrinal system where Christ and his kingdom are plainly made manifest...

My posts 71, 73, and 76 were addressed to someone else. I failed to use the quote function properly. Sorry for the confusion. Isa 56:4. "Thus sayeth the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant." This is a description of...

Thank you for your translation. Even with the words removed, it does not change the meaning. The multitude of translations in Bible Gateway support and agree with the KJV.

Unto you (the body of Christ at Phillipi) it is given not only to believe on him in his behalf (for his sake). Why is it given for his sake? That he might be glorified. The context is faith given for the sake of Christ that the church at Phillipi might believe and thus glorify Christ. Faith...

Phillipians 1:29 For unto you IT IS GIVEN in the behalf of Christ not only to BELIEVE ON HIM, but also to suffer for his sake. Who gave what to whom?

LaGrange, John 17:3 says, "And this is eternal life, that they might know thee, the only TRUE God and (thru) Jesus Christ whom thou has sent." Jeremiah 2:32 ...yet my people have forgotten me days without number. Jeremiah 11:13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah...

LeGrange, Thank you for your response. Cornelius did know Christ in the person of his judgments that were performed in the old covenant. The majority in Israel did not. John 1:11 says "He came unto his own (covenant people) and his own received him not. They did not recognize him because...

Earth, Wind, and Fire I am sorry you think so poorly of your wife. You will not find anywhere in my post that I called YOU an alcoholic. If you had taken the time to mentally reflect on my post you would have known that and not made such a false insinuation. Maybe it's not just alcoholics...

I agree. :). I once heard a message from a pastor who defined the word name as meaning, a definitive conspicuous position indicating character, power, authority, and position. That changed the meaning of many scriptures to me.

Earth, Wind, and Fire, I well know about one is too many and a thousand not enough. It has been over 30 years since I had a drink but have not failed to partake of the Lord's supper where wine was served. We only drink about a tablespoonful at the observance if that much. If one is weak in...

LaGrange, Isaiah 56:4 For thus sayeth the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and TAKE HOLD OF MY COVENANT. Isaiah 56::5 Even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls, a place and a name better than of sons and daughters: I will give...

Brother Welch, do you deny that wine was used in the Passover?

The example in Matthew 18 is clearly an example where counseling failed. He would not hear the first brother, nor the two or three witnesses. The brother in the first example was rejected in his counsel. The church was not to informed at that time in an effort to save face for the offending...

Brother Salty, Would your church allow the brother charged with fornication in 1 Cor 5 to observe the Lord's supper if he remained unrepentant?

The observance of the Passover used wine. There is no reason to believe that Christ changed it at the observance of the Lord's supper.

Absolutely. But unlike many churches today, when it is revealed, we have and will deal with it according to the directions Christ has given to his church in Mt 18 The church is not an enabler in the case of sin that is hidden versus being responsible for known sin that is ignored.
