Thank you Judge Rightly That was a lot of work. And thank you Right (Yoda) Divider, and last but not least, Clete. Win, loose, or draw I miss debating y'all. We've been here for a long while. There are now many facebook wannabe"s that, in my humble opinion--and you all know how humble I can be...

Yoda, you are not

No, I think sinning is "Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envy, murders, drunkenness, reviling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past...

Jesus is referring to what he says he is referring to. Mid Acts says he is not talking to the body of Christ, but Jesus in this passage does not say this is not for the body of Christ. --Dave

None of these verses tell us that we are now free to sin all we want without fear of losing our salvation--which is what impunity means. Shall we continue in sin? God forbid? --Paul Freedom from sin is not freedom to sin. Freedom from sin means we don't have to keep on sinning. --Dave

You knew what my answer would be, so that means you already had it. Your mistake was you said your question was not rhetorical when it actually was. Following the Law is not a work of the flesh Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication...

The ones Jesus told us to keep. John 14 15 If you love me, keep my commandments 23 If a man love me, he will keep my words: 24 He that loveth me not keeps not my sayings --Dave

We can all see the difference between Mid Acts and the other side. I'm going to take a few days to look over all the posts and post my final summary. Thank you all for posting and viewing. --Dave

Jesus was being consistent with Mosaic Law, but this verse tells us nothing about what Jesus was teaching, but these verses do: Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and...

We are no longer under a tutor does not mean we can freely sin all we want, it means we don't have to keep on sinning. But for those of you who think you can sin with impunity, you better also believe you can never lose your salvation. --Dave

A Rhetorical Question: A question asked for effect, not an answer, that is so obvious that it need not be answered. Saying, "It's flatly obvious to the point of my not really needing even ask it. Just tell me the answer you already know is correct" is a rhetorical question. Don't worry, it's a...

I made a few adjustments in order to compare the other view 1. Pre-Ascension is the same thing as earthly, just sounds better when comparing it with Post-Ascension 2. Just Paul in the Post-Ascension contradicts that you also include the Apostles and not just Paul, so I added them. 3. I think...

I don't want this thread to be about the old nature vs new, etc. This thread is about Mid Acts, although I did not intend it originally. The Mid Acts belief is that Jesus, Peter, and the disciples preached faith plus works and they preached only to the Jews; and that only Paul preached faith...

Jesus, Peter, Paul, and all the apostles taught that Temple sacrifices, that were meant to atone for sins, were no longer necessary. They all taught everyone must repent of sin, be baptized in water, and follow the teaching of Christ. They all taught the same thing. Acts 2:37 Now when they...

Old nature vs New nature Romans 6:6 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. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things...
