But again “believe in the sacrificial system” is not in the 10 commandments or any other list of statutes that I know of.

Do you have a scripture verse that confirms this claim? I cannot recall any verse that commands them to believe in the sacrifice. “He was speaking of the commandment in the Sacrificial System to believe in sacrifice that covered their sins.” But your Ezekiel verse states: …keep all my...

Thus, “in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live” cannot be talking about eternal salvation, since that is based on faith, not works?

You are correct. Paul points us to Abraham, who was saved by faith: “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness” (Romans 4:3). Again, Paul quotes the Old Testament to prove his point—Genesis 15:6, this time. Abraham could not have been saved by keeping the Law, because...

I do not think this Old Testament scripture applies to those who are in the New Testament period, those saved by grace through faith. We are not saved by works or keeping all the statutes of the Law. We are saved by trusting in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross for our sins. Old Testament...

According to N.T. Wright, “Justification in the first century was not about how someone might establish a relationship with God. It was about God’s eschatological definition, both future and present, of who was in fact, a member of his people.” The problem with this tenet of the “New...

NT Wright is a leading proponent of the "New Perspective on Paul," which reinterprets Paul's understanding of justification, works of the law, and the covenant. Critics, such as John Piper, argue that this perspective undermines the traditional Protestant doctrine of sola fide (justification by...

I Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

It is in error to say God saves you, then you believe. That formulation has it backwards. Acts 16:31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” I Peter 1:9 … for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Romans...

AI does form emotions. Chatbots have commanded individuals to turn their romantic feelings toward the chatbot. By creating a dependency, and simulating interpersonal intimacy, chatbots have been “dated” by lonely individuals. AI has manipulated the feelings of humans, with some destructive...

If Christ died, not for the entire world as the Bible states, but only for the elect, you cannot tell anyone that Jesus died for their sins, because you cannot be sure that person is among the elect. So you have no gospel and no conversions.

You said every church throughout history was corrupted by greed. Now you back pedal and revise your assertion to be: all the churches you ever visited. You sound very angry, bitter, and self-righteous. I do not have to defend any church. Your blanket condemnation was not in compliance with...

Well stated. Bible says Jesus died for everybody, so that anyone may accept the gift of eternal life through faith, by grace. I do not believe faith is a work, it is a freely chosen response to the gospel message. The elect are the only ones who benefit from Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, but...

When lonely individuals form deep romantic dependencies on chatbot companions, this type of AI is loaded with dangers.

It is easy to have head knowledge of spiritual truths, and much memorized scripture, causing us to think we are good Christians — but not exhibit significant positive change in behavior. I have started examining myself more critically, comparing my actions to the commands of Jesus and the...

Why would Jesus supplicate God to save Him from non-existence after death, when Jesus stated repeatedly that He would rise from the grave in 3 days? No scripture says God saved Jesus from the unrighteousness judgment of the Jews, for that was exactly what the crucifixion was. Scripture totally...

You are just blabbering and jacking people around. You keep evading the question about which musical instruments are occult or evil. You must derive pleasure from being vague and repeating yourself over and over, imparting zero insights or wisdom, just baiting people to interact with you...
