Yes.OK. Do you like spinach? I don't.
Yes.OK. Do you like spinach? I don't.
Of course, because I have a High Priest, a family member, a friend in whom I confide in.Do you repent each and every time that you sin?
If you were living through the Spirit, you would not ask such a question.Do you confess your sins daily, hourly, minutely, secondly?
How many of my sins did Christ die for?
Our obedience CANNOT earn us salvation.
Good for you. You went to the High Priest, Jesus Christ, and told him your sins and you repented of them. That is what you are supposed to do.I have repented of my SIN and Jesus PAID the price.
If you are still sinning then you are not dead to it.If Christ is YOUR high priest, then will must be in the priesthood of the nation of Israel and NOT in the body of Christ.
I am DEAD to sin by the body of Christ.
Paul must have been completely negligent in his ministry, because TIME and TIME AGAIN, he tells us what we are JUSTIFIED by FAITH and he LEAVES out our obedience.
The WE in HEBREWS ain't YOU!
Another complete misunderstanding of and TWISTING of scripture.The Word of God is for everyone.
God is no respecter of persons.
Another complete misunderstanding of and TWISTING of scripture.
Do you NOT believe that God CHOSE Israel as HIS PEOPLE?
You are hopeless and lost.
God bless you Jacob.
You are showing good example of being patient and showing the other cheek.
It is not easy thing to do for most of us.
We can learn from you
I am not Jake I am Jacob.Either that, or its just one more instance of a lack of common sense on his part.
He does hang in there; I'll give him that...
Anyway, Jake (short for Jacob), back to the topic - "of the spirit; not of the letter."
What do you understand Paul had meant by that?
The Spirit of God.What do you understand Paul had meant by "of the spirit; not of the letter"?
The Spirit of God.
But how do you know for sure? What are you basing your conclusion on?
Not only is that passage found in an entire chapter of information there, but there other chapters and passages where Paul also deals with that topic.
Because Paul, as usual, is being Paul; he often says much about one thing or another throughout his writings that helps shed light on other passages and visa versa.
As a result. I myself have returned to a view today that I had once held and that differs from the one I had posted on here earlier.
This, after running many passages.
So, again, how do you know what Paul is actually talking about is not just your own two cents about what he is talking about?
What is your basis - what passages? And what core ideas and principles are you basing your assertion on?
Your sins are washed away when you come to Jesus in faith that his blood washes away your sins that you confess and repent of doing.
STP, you still have not explained how it is that Jesus cannot make a covenant.
I wonder how long John W will keep up with Jacob's patience.
John W is no match with Jacob in patience competition.
Either that, or its just one more instance of a lack of common sense on his part.
A) Jacob (Israel) was NOT the only BLOOD relative of AbrahamThe only reason that God chose Israel is because they were BLOOD related to Abraham.
The promise was that the Savior would be a BLOOD relative.
It is amazing how blind people are...ensnared by the devil.
Jesus came and was blood related to Abraham and David.
Now that Jesus has come, the only blood that matters is Jesus Christ's blood.
It does not matter to whom ANYONE is blood related.
YesNot sure what you're talking about.
Can God save someone without a covenant?
