Rod4Him, The scriptures tell us exactly what the Mystery is. Christ in you. This will also answer Samuel's reply. Grace is Christ in you. No one had Christ in them or came to perfection in Christ in the Old Testament. Colossians 1:26-28 Ralph So Elijah and Enoch did not come to perfection? How did they get translated directly to heaven then? The Old Testament points to the New in symbols and prophesy. The New Testamen reveals what the Old is about and who it pointed to. Together they are the Word of GOD revealed to show us all truth and instruct us in righetness. 2 Tim 3:16, 17

Show Me The Rapture Scriptures
	You are right Rod they did make excellent and true points. Let us follow JESUS CHRIST and have charity to all. Maranatha

Women Teaching In Church
	Did anyone ever hear of Lottie Moon or Sojurner Truth of thousands of other women who lived and spread the gospel to people. Sons and daughtes are to prophesy or teach. That is what GOD says is to happen. Paul in a situation says women not to ask their husband questions in church. Remeber in Jewish churches women sat on one side and men on the other. GOD will do what He see fit.

Did Jesus Break The Ten

Keeping the old testament ten commandments will put a person under the curse and send them straight to hell. And keeping the tem commandments saves no one, no one at all. Therefore breaking the abolished old testament law is not sin, for the old testament law is enmity against the New Testament Law and they are contrary one to the other. Jesus, the only God and author of the commandments must be obeyed for salvation, for there is salvation in no other. Eloy The OT law is do not lie, steal, commit adultery, covet, murder, not to worship false gods or idols or take the name of GOD in vain. So eloy we must always be breaking these laws in order to go to heaven by what you just said.

Did Jesus Break The Ten

Romans 7:6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,) kathr4453 We serve the law in the Spirit where by love results in right doing not to earn salvation. We act Righteous not for reward but in love and gratitude to GOD. Love to GOD and fellow men results in avoiding breaking the Ten Commandments.

Samuel, please review Hebrews 11 concerning our Saints of Old. Can you find one person listed where any reference is given to teh Law of Moses? ---Ralph No I cannot. For people in the Old Testament were saved through faith by Grace alone. Sola Grace is and has always been the way of salvation. But Grace does not result in throwing away what defines sin. Trangression of the law of GOD is sin. 1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Women Teaching In Church

Four women serving as Gospel for Asia missionaries in Haryana, India, were severely beaten in their home on Sunday. Two GFA pastors were also injured in the attack, which was carried out by radical Hindu groups. Charlotte "Lottie" Moon, who served for decades in China with the Southern Baptist Convention before she died in 1912 of starvation. Mary Slessor, who went to Africa and took up the mantle of David Livingstone in 1875, two years after he died. She was an explorer and evangelist and her legacy lives on in Nigeria today. Remeber Dorcas who preached in a different way.

TRUE CHRISTIANS overcoming sin is a life long process" Seems to be a very good definition of what works is, that is being involved in works either to gain salvation are to retain salvation!!! ---mima 1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Works are the result of being saved. Not to gain or retain.

Belief In Dispensationism

MarkV: Your understanding of Dispensationalist is grossly wrong. A Dispensationalist knows the difference between Law and Grace. The old dispensation of law is void. No one was saved under the Law of Moses. A New dispensation we have arrived. We are now in the dispensation of the spirit. Paul most definitely uses dispensations in his teachings. Pay attention. Ralph Paul speaks of Covenants New and Old. But you say here no one was saved under the Law of Moses. Which means everyone from Moses on down is lost. Do you really believe that?

Did God Create Evil
	One of the big arguments that men in Theology have engaged in is the Soverignty of GOD. Does GOD make everything happen or let everything happen and direct it to the best end. I choose the second. Since I do not like the LDS believe that GOD is responsible for sin.

Women Teaching In Church

Before I answer the passage in I Cor. Rember that Paul also said. Phl 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life. Tts 2:3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things, 1Cr 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered .... The problem is that many take just one verse and do not corralate all of them together.

When in the bible they went to build the Tabernackle the people who had been delivered from slavery gave so much the leaders had to tell them to quit. Most do not give like the widow of her last might. They give of their abudance. But we who have been delivered from the Slavery of sin should give not just to our church but to those agencies that help feed and teach the poor of this world. Should we not give in gratitude to GOD? Unless you either do not believe in GOD, nor have anything to be grateful for nor care about others. Then you can keep the money. True some churches and minstries should not be given money. But we need to check and support those we agree with. It is not guilt it is gratitude.

Belief In Dispensationism

From Wikepedia: Dispensationalism is a Protestant evangelical tradition and theology[1] based on a biblical hermeneutic that sees a series of chronologically successive "dispensations" or periods in history in which God relates to human beings in different ways. As a system dispensationalism is rooted in the writings of John Nelson Darby and the Brethren Movement.[2]:10 The theology of dispensationalism consists of a distinctive eschatological "end times" perspective, as all dispensationalists hold to premillennialism and most hold to a pretribulation rapture. Dispensationalists believe that the nation of Israel is distinct from the Church. Short answer no.

Women Teaching In Church
	Yes. Women have been Prophetess and Judges they can teach men. Act 21:8 And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was [one] of the seven, and abode with him. Act 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Wrong For Christians To Drink

Lev 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations: Pro 31:4 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink: Pro 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Luk 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. So the LORD forbids his Priests and those filled with the HOLY GHOST not to have wine. But if you are dying it is okay.

Blotted Out Of Book Of Like
	Many good points. The resurrected wicked will proclaim before they perish that GOD was correct and bow down to them. Then they will be destroyed in the lake of fire. Each will recieve the exact amount of punishment they deserve.

Rapture Before Great Battle
	Howdy MarkV you have given very good insight and background to the Pretrib rapture fondations. I agree to find out the pretrib rapture you have to study other sources then the Bible.

Is God Alive Today
	People today who claim to hear from GOD are usually rejected out of hand as insane by most people. So GOD I believe does speak and has spoken to modern people. But most just reject it.

I Am Doubting God Exists

We cannot prove GOD exists. I love the George Washington anology since it is in reality how we look at the Bible. The Bible has a lot of proven History in other words many of the events have been colaborated by other sources. But there is still room for doubt. If a person does not want to believe they can choose to do so. Right now millions of dollars are being spent to get nonliving material to become alive. After five years they have not succeded on purpose what they say happened by accident.

My Family Is In Hell
	The destruction or persing of the wicked is taught by many scriptures. As one historical movie on the Greek god Hades pointed out that the Bible says Hades will be destoryed. Then it commented it was both the place and the god. If a nonchristian Show on history can recognize this why cannot those who truly believe in the bible.
