Do you know that the devil believes all of that? It is what we do with the knowledge that determines our fate.

Look at it this way...are adulterers and liars better than monogamous truth tellers? Of course not, so those who do obey God, or want to obey God, are better than their opposites. Who is going to be doing the judging on the last day? If there will be no judgement, who cares what we do? Survival...

That "something" is how we relate to Him.

Like Jesus said, you can know the tree, or the prophet, by its fruit. What kind of "tree" do sinners come from? Jesus said..."Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of...

I don't feel a parable counts as reality. Especially since the "sentiment" is never written of before or after. They will lay in a grave until the day of judgement. The righteous will be raised at Jesus' return, and the unrighteous 1000 years later. Same answer. But as there is no...

I'm at least as concerned about your behavior as you were towards mine in Post 161. The reason, because Jesus said we were to love one another like we love ourselves.

The "spirit" in 1 Cor 5:5 is the church. Get the "fleshly" out so the Spiritual (the church) will be found perfect on the last day. 1 Cor 5:7 says the same thing in a different manner..."Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our...

I understand that scripture.

Cool, you can quote a quote made about Paul. Will you also heed it?

You don't have to believe me, but do you believe Jesus? He said..."And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I...

My "boast" is in the righteousness of God. My joy is to be part of that righteousness. It is written..."But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and...

My check book may not always balance to the penny but I don't commit sin. Thanks to the grace and glory of God.

The Gentiles were grafted into the converted Israel, the branch from off of the holy root. (Rom 11:17) I don't know what you are referencing. OK, good writing to you.

I understand Paul's teaching about the Gentiles being grafted onto the Jewish olive tree. (Rom 11:17, 19, 23-24)

Amen, and I have taken his exhortation to heart, and quit committing sin. Have you taken that "step" in the right direction?

The Jews were not grafted onto Gentiles, we were grafted onto them.

Paul wrote this..."Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." (1 Cor 15:34)

My point was that without the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are still in the dark. Are you so certain there were only 13? Barnabus was called an apostle in Acts 14:14. Anyone doing the work of an apostle is an apostle. Jesus and the twelve also preached it to the Gentiles, ie, the Canaanite...

OK. I find it difficult to find the converted, grafted in Gentiles, NOT God's chosen people too. Neither Jew nor Gentile...but only the Jews are God's chosen people? That makes no sense. It was written to all who will heed it. I find that "no" ridiculous. As there is no longer Jew or...

Why do you say we are ONLY authorized to talk to the Father?
