Jesus in the Bible

[Jesuslovesu]

I have a real quick answer and it is something God said ... READY?.....

Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Here is another one that I think will be helpful

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:



See I could type out every anwser to any question you may have..but without faith you wont be happy with any answer and will always find another question to ask!! (not that asking is bad but there comes a time when faith needs to be acted upon)

Hey mat,
Concerning your question about eating pork, take a look at a post called "Sacred vs. Secular" by Coconut. It is an essay that will shed some light on your question. It isn't directly speaking about pork consumption, but you will get the idea, I am sure.

May the Spirit of God enlighten you always,

oh one more thing aagain..
why does paul call the law a a curse???
maybe i missunderstoiod this but form what i read paul calls the law of mooeses a curse and the ppl who follow the law are cursed as well
????
thanx

I assume you mean...
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

"The curse of the mummy" is not the same as "the mummy is a curse". Paul does not say the law of Moses is a curse, but rather it contains (or has) a curse. That curse is bondage to the law itself. For as law breakers, we are cursed by it. Look at the verse in context and it becomes more clear.

The apostle proves the doctrine he had blamed the Galatians for rejecting; namely, that of justification by faith without the works of the law. (Paul counts the Galations guilty of justification by faith w/o adhereing to the law. That doesn't sound like he is in contrast to Jesus at all.) This he does from the example of Abraham, whose faith fastened upon the word and promise of God, and upon his believing he was owned and accepted of God as a righteous man. The Scripture is said to foresee, because the Holy Spirit that indited the Scripture did foresee.

Through faith in the promise of God he was blessed; and it is only in the same way that others obtain this privilege. Let us then study the object, nature, and effects of Abraham's faith; for who can in any other way escape the curse of the holy law? The curse is against all sinners, therefore against all men; for all have sinned, and are become guilty before God: and if, as transgressors of the law, we are under its curse, it must be vain to look for justification by it.

Those only are just or righteous who are freed from death and wrath, and restored into a state of life in the favour of God; and it is only through faith that persons become righteous. Thus we see that justification by faith is no new doctrine, but was taught in the church of God, long before the times of the gospel. It is, in truth, the only way wherein any sinners ever were, or can be justified. Though deliverance is not to be expected from the law, there is a way open to escape the curse, and regain the favour of God, namely, through faith in Christ.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law; being made sin, or a sin-offering, for us, he was made a curse for us; not separated from God, but laid for a time under the Divine punishment. The heavy sufferings of the Son of God, more loudly warn sinners to flee from the wrath to come, than all the curses of the law; for how can God spare any man who remains under sin, seeing that he spared not his own Son, when our sins were charged upon him? Yet at the same time, Christ, as from the cross, freely invites sinners to take refuge in him. (Ga 3:15-18)

God bless,
Nigh
