    Salvation

    The Cross was in view from before the beginning of time... The Theocracy of Israel was never in view... To the consternation of the Jews... That Theocracy is Old Testament Covenant... "God GAVE this LAND to ME..." The New Jerusalem is the rich earth of the Heart softened by tears of...

    Salvation

    It was not that Kingdom to which Christ was referring ANYWHERE in Mark... Thank-you for saying that it was, because I now understand, thanks to you, the lens of your understanding... I tell ya, Menno, I have been struggling for some years now trying to understand people who think as you do...

    Salvation

    These quotations establish the context for this entire Gospel account... It is CLEARLY NOT about the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses... To SAY that it IS about the Old Covenant is to contradict the Scripture in plain view... Arsenios

    What is Justification ?

    The point of that textual thrust is that we struggle against sin - eg we live repentant lives - FOR THE SAKE OF, according to the text, the GAINING the Righteousness which only Christ can give to us... That the reason for repentance is to gain being Justified by Christ... Because as Paul...

    Salvation

    So you say... The Old Covenant is that of the Mosaic Law... The New Covenant is of the Body and Blood of Christ... Mark 1??? The text tells you that it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ... Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; It's a no-brainer, Menno...

    Salvation

    Now you are making Christ Himself a Prophet of the Old Covenant??? C'mon, Menno! Pick it up a notch! Here is the Gospel's very words: Matt. 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." I mean, are you seriously arguing that...

    So do you think that the Gospel changed from Mark 1 to Mark 16?? Do we now have two Gospels? Early Mark vs Late Mark? Such divisions embrace treachery, my Brother... Arsenios

    What is Justification ?

    Gal 2:17 But if, while we are seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. So in the matter of justification, Scripture plainly tells us: 1] - We are to be seeking justification 2] - Christ is the One Who...

    What is Justification ?

    Now I REALLY admire your optimism!! More and more each day... For myself, I am such a pessimistic slob that instead of actually doing anything to help matters in any way whatsoever, I am backed into my foetid corner of self-cynicism wherein my only possible course of hope is imagined in the...

    Insight into a man?

    He did not know who he was, and the questioning there was nigh unto lethal... So when a stranger in a shouting match sticks his hand out at you, walking away is a good thing... Sheesh! Arsenios

    What is Justification ?

    So that ENTRY INTO Life is attained by obedience? Great reply! Matthew 19:17 (NIV) “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter Life, keep the commandments.” Arsenios

    What is Justification ?

    Rom 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-ordain to be conformed to the Image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren. Rom 8:30 Moreover whom He did fore-ordain, them He also Called: and whom He Called, them He also Justified: and whom He justified...

    Is your creed catholic, Catholic, or Christian?

    Well, it does violate the Church Canon embraced by the Latin Fathers in the 3rd Ecumenical Council... Which forbids the addition to or subtraction from or alteration of the Creed... And it does inject a differing confession of the Faithful by one Communion against all the rest of the Communions...

    Salvation

    According to Paul, Justification is the mid-point of Salvation... It begins with God's Call (to repentance) of the Gospel... It then proceeds to God's justification of those who answer the Call (to repentance)... It then proceeds to those overcoming demonic powers and principalities, to...

    What is Justification ?

    My Brother, the History of the Reformation is outside the scope of the Bible Study we are engaged in here... Please contribute abundantly on the basis of Biblical context and interpretation... Thank-you... Arsenios

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Nice post, explaining why Trump got elected, being neither R or D, but running as an R... Voters got fed up with the bureaucratic-oppressive state, and brought in an outsider to cut it back to its constitutional limits of intrusion and disregard for law... The problem is that by its...

    Dikaiosis is related in English to such words as halitosis, which are words denoting a condition of the person being denoted... It is a condition a person possesses... If you HAVE halitosis, your breath stinks... If you HAVE Dikaiosis, you what is Right in you - You exude righteousness...
