Christianity EtcRe: we are no longer under law but grace, but you do err christians. by MEILYN(op): 8:57am On Dec 21, 2013
haibe: Oga Meilyn. I do not totally agree with this.

Let's start from here:

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring
us unto Christ, that we might be justified by
faith. (Galatians 3:24)<<wherefore the sacrificial laws taught us how to come unto Christ through faith.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (Galatians 3:25)<<all talking about sacrificial laws.



But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.(Galatians 5:18)<< sacrificial laws. Paul can not be contradicting himself.

what's your take on these verses?
the sacrificial laws that is... You dont have to agree with me, the bible spoke for itself.

Jesus brought grace and truth to the world, and the bible says truth is the law. Do u wanna argue that bro?. Secondly those verses you posted up there supports my claim actually, if you read my post, i handled that already bro. Anyway let me digress a little.

"(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." (Romans 2:13). <<<Paul said it not me, the doers of the law shall be justified. Yes you dont have to keep the sacrificial laws, it doesnt profit anybody but the moral laws we must keep. In other verses he said the law can not justify anybody, and on this verse he says the doers of the law shall be justified. Is that a contradiction? No. Why? Because he is talking about two different laws, Hebrew 10 tells us the laws Christ abolished. Its that simple.

"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." (1 John 5:3). << the love of God is keeping the law [moral laws].

"But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him." (1 John 2:5). << saying the same thing.

"Repent ye therefore, and be CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19).<< what converts you?

"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple." (Psalm 19:7). << the law.

Stop preaching that grace and law stuff bro. Yes there is grace, but the grace came to teach us something which is the law, and there is truth, what is truth? The law. Everything leads you back to the law.

Christianity EtcWater Baptism In The Bible Was Symbolic, Has Nothing To Do With Water. by MEILYN(op):
"When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)" (John 4:1-2). <<< Jesus baptized more disciples than John, although he baptized not, how did Christ baptize his disciples?

"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. " (John 15:3).<< ye are clean through the word, he baptized his disciples with the word, he taught them the scriptures. The word cleanses you and not literal water.

"That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word," (Ephesians 5:26). << by the word?

"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." (Psalm 119:9). <<<thats how you wash, with the word, thats how you are baptised.

"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:" (1 Peter 3:21). <<<baptism also save us, not putting away the filth of the flesh, [dipping people into water/ watching your skin,] but the answer of a good conscience towards God which only the word can provide.

"Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." (Romans 7:12). << the word is what brings you good conscience to God, water profiteth nothing so does the flesh, it is the spirit that quickeneth, and how do you quicken the spirit? By listening to the word.

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. " (John 6:63). << dipping yourself in water in and out profiteth nothing, the word is the spirit, water baptism has nothing to do with your salvation.
Christianity Etcwe are no longer under law but grace, but you do err christians. by MEILYN(op):
"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men," (Titus 2:11).
"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" (Titus 2:12)
.<<<For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that to deny ungodliness, we must live righteously. How do we live righteously? What does living righteously mean?

"And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us." (Deuteronomy 6:25).<<< righteousness is when you obey the Laws of the Lord. So that verse means the grace of God that brings salvation to all men has appeared to teach us that to deny ungodliness you must have to obey the laws of God.

"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." (Romans 3:31).<< do we then destroy the law because grace has come unto us? God forbid, yea we establish the law, they kept the law, all the disciples did, including Paul.

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" (Romans 6:1).
"God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:2).
<< what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin? What does sin mean? Sin is the transgression of the Law, so what Paul was saying is this, should we continue to break the law because we are under grace? God forbid, how shall we that are dead to not breaking the laws anymore continue in breaking the laws?

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4).<<< sin is the transgression of the law.

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." (Romans 6:14-15).<<the law shall not have dominion over you because you are under grace and not the law, but shall we keep breaking the laws because we can now ask for forgiveness easily without killing goats etc? God forbid.

Secondly, what laws did Christ abolish/ fulfil?

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1:17). << for the law was giving by moses[sacrificial laws] but grace and truth came by Christ. What does truth mean?

"Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth." (Psalm 119:142). <<<the law is the truth, so what does that mean? Christ brought grace and the law to mankind, Christ's own law, the magnification of the law of Moses, abolished/ fulfilled the sacrificial laws of Moses and not the Moral laws of Moses, except for the an eye for an eye part.

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. " (Luke 24:44).<< now lets see the laws Christ fulfilled.

"For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those SACRIFICES which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect." (Hebrews 10:1). << the law which is sacrificial laws cannot make any man perfect.

"For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins." (Hebrews 10:2). << but they did. Because they kept sacrificing their lambs repeatedly every single year.

"For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." (Hebrews 10:4). << this is the main reason why Christ died, putting himself in place of the sacrificial laws, Christ has abolished that, but he didnt abolish the moral laws.

"Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure." (Hebrews 10:5-6). << when Christ came into the world he said, Sacrifice and Offering you guys shouldnt do it anymore, for in burnt offerings thou has had no pleasure.

"Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Hebrews 10:7). << which will did Christ come to do?

"Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;" (Hebrews 10:8 )....

In Summary, back then it was Sacrifice and Laws, you keep the laws and then you sacrifice goats for forgiveness of sins but Christ brought Grace and Truth what is the Truth? The law is the truth, which means, Christ came to Abolish the Sacrificial laws but we still have to keep the laws of God, anytime we sin, we dont have to kill rams and goats anymore for forgiveness of sins, but what we have to do is to pray for forgiveness and we will be forgiven because Christ is the Lamb who died for Israel for forgiveness of sins. The Moral Laws wasnt Abolished, just the sacrificial laws, so the law of moses continues.

"And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;" (2 Peter 3:15)."As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Peter 3:16). <<people dont understand what grace is and why Christ died. Thats the problem. You Christians misunderstand Pauls word.

No one named "jesus" ever lived until the 12th century there about when Spanish kids were born and given the name "Jesus"(pronounced "E-Zus"wink

The Transliteral origin of the name is the Latin-Greek "Iesous" (pronounced "HiE-Zus" meaning "praise Zeus"
yea, thats true. Christians wont know this, you know why? They dont know history. Yahushua thats the name of Christ. jesus is zeus and not Christ of the bible.

give us the verses...

FarmTech: answer to your confusion can be found here:http://www.letusreason.org/Biblexp75.htm. Better clear ur head b4 u find urself in hell. God ccan give u over to lust and unatural desires if u hardens ur heart. I dont know how long u hav been into fornicatn and still harden ur heart. Now u're totally convinced and confused. May God deliver u. Amen.
like i said you are of the world, you follow the crowd, an Atheist will teach you the bible, i aint going to any gaddamn link/ website, thats why you are confused, you dont read the bible on your own, you goto stupi.d websites giving you their own opinion. Give me a bible verse that says premarital sex is fornication and i will forget this argument and leave this thread, i will also change my opinion regards this issue.

FarmTech: 1 cor 6: 18 flee from fornication. All other sins a person commits are outside his body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against his own body. Read http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Fornication/.
you just quote the bible without knowing what the bible is saying. Nobody is saying fornication is good, we are just saying fornication doesnt mean what you think it means.it doesnt mean premarital sex.
Christianity EtcRe: Fornication:is It A 'necessary' Sin? by MEILYN(m):
1mic_cza: Ishi you all do not realise that no one would ever own up to the fact that he or she has been going wrong,that sure is the reason behind every one of this defences and warped interpretation. The last point of the book of revelations reveals one simple fact and that is "he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches"...
you are talking trash I am a proud virgin, Am not justifying anything mehn am just saying what the bible says. We are in a world where lies are truth and truth are lies anything popular is the truth to you isn't it? the irony of all these is that you peeps think you are right and we are wrong. Religion is really eating you guys up to the extent that you dont read the bible for yourselves anything your pastor says is final. The bible says let God be truthful and every man a lier and we should worship God in truth and not in lies. Nowhere did the bible call premarital sex a sin, the bible actually says sex is marriage in the sight of God who are you to say otherwise?. Its either you take it or leave it stop acting as if we are the bad guys here because you cant prove premarital sex is a sin, the bible says prove all things, anything you cant prove is a lie.
