Did you have Covid? When I get depressed I stay home, but I tend to spend more time on here then.

Hi, guys - @ReChoired and @BarnyFife I would also love to see your scripture reference for Noah keeping the Sabbath. I don't recall that. Are you sure you are not thinking about clean animals that Noah was commanded to bring on 7 of each, but on 2 of every other animal?

Where have you been? I've missed you.

For instance, Paul's teaching on the difference between Law vs. Grace, meaning the power of the Spirit, not a cover-up of sin, is the first 8 chapters of Romans. I find many base a whole teaching on one of the middle chapters, like chapter 4, without taking into consideration the conclusion -...

Scripture will interpret Scripture. Always read in context. When I read the Bible, I read the whole book in one sitting. Like all of Romans, or all of Galatians, etc.

Wrong. And you ordering me around is not love. My point is everything God created that He wants to obey Him has free will, whether man, beasts, or angels.

He knew what I meant. It wasn't addressed to you.

When you read and get so familiar with what the Bible says, you can pick out preacher's false teachings. Also, there are verses that seem to contradict other verses. There can't be. The Spirit will make it clear why that is. The answers can be astounding.

Read it with an open mind and let the Spirit teach you.

I means that the doctrines of demons can be so enticing people hold on to them for dear life.

I know you're very touchy, and people have to walk on eggshells around you, so put me on ignore, and I'll do the same for you. Besides, you are very closed minded; not open AT ALL. I won't be seeing anything more from you. You are now on ignore.

That's your choice. I just wanted you to know that what I had said was not about you, but BB and the guy you were defending.

So you can't see at all that Galatians 5:17 is the same as Romans 7:25? I find it strange that you don't like me talking about you, yet, it is okay for you to talk about my sins?

Yes, that verse has puzzled me for decades until today!!! I'm glad you are spiritually gifted to see it too, and to rejoice with me. I just love when this happens and He isn't through teaching me.

Not at all. Sorry, but I haven't a clue how you arrived at that. Romans 7 is about the law, and that is what chapter 8 frees us from. Same with Galatians 5:16-18 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the S(s)pirit, and...

Can you see that Galatians 5:17 is a recap of being under the law and the struggle of mind vs. sin nature? Jesus frees us from SIN, and that struggle is no more for those who walk after the Spirit. Romans 8:1-9. You may love chapter 7, but I relate to chapter 8. I'm 74, and chapter 7 was a very...

Enoch, the reason I always had a problem with verse 17 is because it contradicts Paul's teaching in Romans 8:9. But now that I know it is just a recap of those in the flesh who are under the law, and with their minds they struggle against their flesh, and their flesh against their minds, it now...

You've been okay. I was talking about BB and the other guy. Someone you were defending.

I always thought so to, but Scripture interprets Scripture. The translators were wrong. Galatians 5:16-18 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to...

CC: @marks and @Enoch111 In reading Romans 7:13 we see that the law is holy, but the Old Covenant required the letter of the law to be kept in opposition to the indwelling sin nature. That is why the struggle is described in Romans 7:14-23, it is the mind/spirit against the flesh. The law was...
