I agree with what John wrote in 1 John 5:17..."All unrighteousness is sin". Got a scripture for that? Wasn't the adulterer amidst the Corinthians given another chance? Of course the sin showed he wasn't reborn of God's seed in the first place, so when he does repent of sin, it will be for the...

Absolutely, and as all sin is committed that way, there will never be an excuse for sin. I cringe when I read "code words". "informed consent" If they don't get tempted, enticed, act on lust, or conceive a sin, there is no sin. (James 1:14-15) As the point is moot, there being no such thing as...

The body of Christ began with Christ. Everyone IN CHRIST is of the body of Christ. I rejoice that I was able to be water baptized into that body. (Rom 6:3-7)

I guess then that you know why you don't have the gift of tongues. They are liars and posers only if they still commit sin. Thanks for reminding us on which day God and the name of His Son were again glorified. The next verse again nullifies that "separation theory"...Acts 15:9..."And put no...

Peter could also have "claimed" the title of the apostle of the Gentiles. He beat Paul by a considerable amount of time. Yes, if we have actually repented of sin and been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ to wash away our past sins. I mean, no turn from sin...no gift of the Holy Ghost. Joel...

The law in my heart is...Love God with all your might, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. On these two commandments hang all the OT Law and prophets...and my judgement on the last day.

I'm glad you repeated your list. I agree with your summation, that it is the minimum necessary for salvation. It seems like the first tier of knowledge built on top of the "rock" made known to Peter...that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matt 16:16)

I use "Ortho Home Defense". Works better on crickets than a fly swatter...(or my cat).

It was the same "foundation" that Peter preached. John 3:16-18.

If he preached the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem to Illyricum, it is obvious he was preaching the same gospel as Peter and the other apostles. And, the same gospel Jesus preached in John 3:16-18..."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him...

He already did, as Jesus taught that the kingdom is in our hearts. "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) Peter's, and Paul's teachings showed us how to be raised with Christ to walk in newness of life, with a new heart. Paul...

Where is it written that they weren't? It was the unbelievers who didn't "follow the teachings" that sinned against Stephen, James, and Peter. I guess I can't really figure out your question? Thanks be to God that some came out of that Israel. Some left the OT to join in with other believers...

It taught me how to think on my feet.

You don't equate committing sin with rejecting Jesus? I certainly do.

Psalm 5:5 says..."The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity." He loves all men, but the sinners alienate themselves from God and from His love. It is written in 1 Peter 4:17..."For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first...

I grew up with a twin sister, (I'm a guy), so that is the way my mind works.

"a balancing mechanism must exist in any system of ethics"? The only thing that "balances out" ethics, is unethics.

I can see your POV there. Thanks. But they will all still suffer the wrath of God for their sin, no matter what they thought about it.

He loved some of them. At times He did. But not at other times. If he is condemned, he won't be saved on the day of judgement. All sinners will be condemned. Thankfully, God made a way to live without sin, which I am so grateful for.

As it is written..."Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isa 5:20)...I will continue to call evil "evil".
