Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

Dwight, I corrected the quote. I asked, " What doctrines and commandments of men was Jesus referring to?" Those that were cast out. Jesus did not cast out the Ten Commandments. So, no the're not doctrines and commandments of men. Dwight - By "casting out" the law of Moses, you are TAKING AWAY GOD'S ...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

The Levitical law consists of requirements of foreign gods. It's the truth Dwight. When Jesus said, "You teach doctrines and commandments of men" and "You follow traditions of men", what do you think he meant? What doctrines and commandments of men was he referring to? THOSE THAT WERE CAST OUT. You ...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

Today, we are NOT living under the covenant with Abraham or the law of Moses. We are submitted ONLY to Jesus and His new covenant. The law of Moses was definitely God's word to Israel, as long as it was still being observed. But when Christ came, the law of Moses became obsolete and was replaced by...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

Dwight," Cast out the bondwoman and her son." God's word( Law) does not change. It is the same yesterday and today.

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

Dwight, you brought up Romans 4:11-12 which is a debate over PHYSICAL circumcision. God didn't promise Abraham that he would be heir of the world because he was physically circumcised. This was just a tradition of men. God made this promise to him because of his circumcised heart and his obedience t...

Re: Bill Schlegel Videos

No...there's more than meets the (natural) eye here. Just as a starter remember Abraham's encounter with the three men in Genesis 18, two of whom are identified as angels with the other being “the LORD.” But the deeper reality here is that, in the Trinitarian model, Uncreated I AM (the LOGOS) empti...

Re: Jesus is God

Ditto, though one could quibble over whether Jesus was the founder of the new covenant or the Father was. But, otherwise a hearty amen. I'm really struggling to see whether commonsense is coming from a particular denominational perspective or whether his is a personal doctrine, but it would be help...

Re: Jesus is God

In Greek the word is not "he" or "him" but rather "who" or "whom". And if you begin at verse 3, it is very clear that it refers to Jesus, the anointed one! Paidion, I don't think this refers to Jesus only. There were others before and after Jesus who were anointed by God. Members of the body of Chr...

Re: Jesus is God

The idea of the Trinity, IMO, best explains the numerous scriptures that are difficult to understand otherwise, such as the numerous references to the pre-incarnate Christ's role in creation such as here: Colossians 1:15-18 New American Standard Bible 1995 15 He is the image of the invisible God, t...

Re: Bill Schlegel Videos

So you apparently believe you earn your salvation? Where does grace fit into your system? Homer, this is another example of the confusion I'm talking about. but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. The one who humbles himself will be exalted. Humble- compliant, conforming to the authority o...
