Is that because my questions thwart your POV? Or because they have no answers that fortify your POV? If you don't have satisfactory answers to my questions, perhaps you can point me toward someone who does.

I agree. Which religion is it that its members kill other folks?

I have heard that one question can't answer another question.

Does that make you a judgmental legalist? No. It makes you one preaching what you don't believe is actually possible. It is possible, by the grace of God.

Have you ever head of the power of God? The God that parted the Red Sea? The God that caused it to rain fowl on the fleeing Israelites? The God that knocked down the walls of Jericho?

I found out he is Jewish. I wonder what things would have been like if he and his country had been Christians who relied on God instead of guns.

Partly correct...sinless perfection. Legalistic and judgmental are not a part of it at all. And sinless perfection is impossible without faith in God. Faith that Jesus lived without sin and that we can be "immersed" into the death and burial of Christ so we too can be raised with Christ to walk...

I am glad we agree that men walking after the Spirit don't also walk after the flesh David, Abraham; etal, were all men walking in the flesh, as we couldn't walk in the Spirit until after Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead. We have a better example of life now...Jesus, not David.

The land of Israel was indeed Jesus' primary mission, but as you posted to Derf in your last post..."Jesus died for the sins of the world." To ignore your own words only creates division. It seems to me that He preached "belief in Him" to pretty much everyone He met. Romans, Samaritans, and...

He came for all of us. If He didn't come for me, who did? Paul? Is Paul my Savior? Did Paul suffer and die for my sins? Was Paul resurrected from the dead? For instance? The gift of salvation had already been given unto the Gentiles, starting with Cornelius, his kinsmen, and near friends...

Why is then that it pertains to me? Belief. Eternal life being the results thereof. Is Jesus not your Savior too?

That is debatable. God's grace coming on me was sure good news. Jesus being raised for the dead by the grace of God is good news to me. Isn't it to you?

Jesus' teachings on salvation and eternal life. You know, the gospel. It is written..."And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." (John 4:42) It is written..."Verily...

The flesh is dead, in the reborn. We walk in the Spirit. It is written..."This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (Gal 5:16) It is written..."There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but...

But as Rom 6:6 says..."Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." Neither Paul nor us are in the flesh after the old man/flesh is killed with Christ. Paul makes it clear that he is no longer in the...

I really don't think that the teachings on eternal life were an "earthly" phenomenon.

Yep, way before "mid Acts".

A "found" person does not have the flesh lusting against the Spirit. The rest of your post countered the first part.

No, and I thought we already went over this? Through the false doctrine that can't separate the "salvation by the Law-legalism" that Paul preached against from common obedience to God, you have gained a disdain for reverence towards God. Too bad, as the disobedient are all going to the lake of...

That life would be without sin...right? Then you should be glad I introduced you to the ability to fulfil the Lord's commands. Not happening. A sinner (priest) allegedly praying (God heareth not sinners--John 9:31) over an idol (relic in the alter) to sanctify the unsanctifiable (folks who...
