    Yes, all glory goes to God and His Word. Matthew 5:16 (WEB) Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

    Mark, good work! Do not be sucked into his mind games, discussing imaginations, philosophies, and suppositions. Just stick with the Scriptures. Even if he, and others, deny, or try to refute the plain teaching of Scripture with their own imaginations, at least everyone else who reads those...

    If we desire to know why God forms a vessel for noble or ignoble purpose, then we have to find out how God himself describes it (Jeremiah 18:1-11), which, by the way, is also how Paul describes it if you read the context (Romans 2:4-5; Romans 9:19-24; 2 Timothy 2:19-21). You can fill in the...

    If a judge orders you to pay a fine, but then, the judge pays it for you, the fine you were ordered to pay is canceled. This is so simple to understand, but you cannot see it, and refuse to believe what God actually stated. Colossians 2:13-14 (WEB) He forgave us all our sins, 14 having...

    The Scriptures say our debt was cancelled because the charge of legal indebtedness that we owed was nailed to the cross, and this was a just payment by ransom for our sins. That makes it a payment to satisfy God's justice. So, I will go with what the Scriptures state. Colossians 2:13-14...

    God cancelled the debt the believer owed, because Lord Jesus paid the legal charge of indebtedness by His Blood. Colossians 2:13-14 (WEB) 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled...

    A debt we owe is stamped "Cancelled" if the charges are paid for by someone else. The debt was cancelled because the charge of our indebtedness (our sins) was nailed it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14 (WEB) 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made...

    setst777 said: That is a good understanding, since Christ sacrifice redeems us (believers) from our sins purchasing us for God as from a marketplace with his blood. Revelation 5:9 and purchased [Greek: agorazó] us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation...

    If Christ's sacrifice was not necessary to forgive anyone, then why did God have His Son sacrificed for our sins? Matthew 26:28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission/forgiveness [Gk: aphesis] of sins. Strong's Concordance: #895 aphesis...

    Did he create the movie? If so, why should he be angry for creating the characters the way he did?

    Unlike the OT sacrifices for sins, Lord Jesus' sacrifice of himself does not have to be repeated. Hebrews 7:26-27 (WEB) 26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who doesn’t need, like those high...

    setst777 said: Redeem [exagorazó] Usage: I buy out, buy away from, ransom; mid: I purchase out, buy, redeem, choose. Oh, so now you finally agree (although not admitting it because of pride) after repeatedly denying it, that "redeem" means "purchase." According to the Gospel, redemption is...

    setst777 said: Christ’s death did satisfy God’s justice.

    The Scriptures plainly state that payment was made by Christ Jesus by His shed blood on the cross, and payment is received by faith. Romans 3:24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption [payment] that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of...

    Under the Old Covenant, did the priest punish and torture the sheep as an atonement for the people, or did they sacrifice the sheep, shedding its blood? The Scriptures plainly state that payment was made by Christ Jesus by His shed blood on the cross, and payment is received by faith. Romans...

    No one disagrees that we are justified by grace through faith. The disagreement you are having with the Gospel is that justification is through Christ's shed blood on the cross, which is received by faith. Romans 3:23-25 (NIV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and...

    For the second time, I never mentioned anything about punishment. However, Lord Jesus did become a curse for us, to redeem us from the curse of the Law. Galatians 3:13 (WEB) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who...
