I disagree, as the baptism of Crispus is referred to in 1 Cor 1:14. What version of the KJV bible are you using? That does not say "were believing". The KJV says "believed, and were baptized". Scripture disagrees with your interpretation of scripture. "Could not" ? You are adding in your own...

Right. If one commits a sin, he is a sinner. You've been fooled. Jesus said "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." (John 8:34) There is no difference, unless you don't feel the Law was righteous. If he had "placed his trust in Christ", he would have trusted in the promised escapes...

So the Gentiles did learn from the Jews.

Sinners don't believe in Him no matter what they say. If they did, they would quit sinning ! Some commandments were Laws. But I'm not sure if Jesus' "big two" were codified. A agree we must keep Jesus' two commandments in order to be saved. Why would God welcome into paradise a man who hates...

Paul was a Jew, so your POV is not quite right.

Who is Grace?

"way to go" saying he is a believer isn't in the bible. The words in the bible are powerless, until someone uses them Like a hedge-clipper in your shed is useless until someone plugs it in and starts trimming with it. The bible refers to Jesus as the Word. No. I have to keep Jesus' two...

I mean that, and continue to treat God like He is God...with obedience. Yep, those verses are like two peas in a pod. Rom 6:23 says "the wages of sin is death", in the same chapter in which that death was illustrated. "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were...

Salvation certainly can be assured by Jesus' resurrection, but only for those who submit to Him and His Father and endure faithfully their entire new life. Those serving another master won't be saved. For sure..."He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not...

Right. Because salvation won't be assured until one hears their name is in the book of life on the last day.

Your POV seems like wishful thinking. Why would the "daughters of Israel" lament four days a year, (Judges 11:40), if the unnamed daughter had not been sacrificed? Your "moral of the story" is good, though.

I am glad you have changed your mind. Mine wasn't. Jesus' parents were abiding the the customs of Israel. Jesus didn't have the intellect to decide what happened to Him at 8 days of age. It was His parents that had the procedure done to Him. I was not. It would not have made me righteous...

I made the same mistake you make by not saying..."Don't you think it odd that a believing Israelite brought us a message of separation from other believing Israelites? Were your POV true, Paul cast himself aside. The King is the head indeed, but the body is all believers regardless of...

Too bad the people of Israel weren't making all the other Laws "customary".

Don't you think it odd that an Israelite brought us a message of separation from Israelites? Glad we agree. Jesus wears many "hats". What is the third choice? And why no answer? I will ask again..."Which do you worship...Jesus, or the gospel of grace? Then Jesus' "mission" ended up including...

Yes, if you cannot find others, a church/group, that is real. But don't give up looking.

You brought it up... You are right. I suppose Noah's ark and the history of Sodom and Gomorrah are irrelevant too, but they lay the groundwork and illustrate the mind of whom we serve. Jesus was Judaism personified. Which do you worship...Jesus, or the gospel of grace? Did Jesus not take away...

You have no reason to respond, as it was addressed to someone else. Yes, I was...but neither of us volunteered for it. Joseph, Mary, and my parents, had us circumcised to satisfy the customs of the day. Their's...religious customs. Mine...medical customs. Circumcision made neither of us...

Saying or writing it means nothing. If they break those 2 laws of Christ, they just manifest that they were not reborn of God's seed. (1 John 3:9) No. It my seem from some perspectives to be "right now", but it isn't. Not at all. Judgement will occur on the last day. I don't need to, when...

Yes. Makes me think of Heb 4:16..."Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
