Second where have you posted these verses before? You have to prove I am ignoring them. I have not seen you post these verses before. Now let's look at these verses. But before we do lets' make sure we understand that God's eternal and perfect Laws must be followed, are life giving and are the key to salvation. Ezekiel 18:21-22 Quote:

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. There are more verses like this but these will do for now. Second of all let's review those verse which tell us that no man can die for the sins of another. Deut. 24:16 Quote:

First of all, what covenant? God already laid out his new covenant in Jer. 31:29-34. God states his New Covenant is based on his (eternal and perfect) Law and will be etched into the minds and hearts of men and that no man can die for the sins of another: Quote:
Thirdly, Gamera has not, with this one verse, given us the whole picture. In the Great Commission JC tells his disciple to teach people to do all the things that he, JC, commanded the disciples to do: Mathew 28:20 Quote:
But since JC is the expected messiah and by his own admission will conform to the Laws of Moses and the prophets (Luke 24:44), we can only assume that JC wants his disciples to teach observance of the commandments. We get a clearer picture of this in Mark's version of the Great Commission 16:15 Quote:

Who would be waiting for him? Salvation is gained through observance of God's commandments. |

Since you refuse to acknowledge the obvious I can only assume that you are not interested in serious debate. However, for the benefit of those who are genuinely I will post each passage in its entirety. Perhaps Gamera will respond properly if he is confronted with the verses here. None of these verses make any mention about a saviour. All of these verses show that the Law of God saves and that no saviour is required. Let's start with Ezekiel 18:20-22 Quote:

Jesus says two things that you and John have to deal with both of them contradict John: 1) His Law lasts forever and provides salvation, Mathew 5:17-20 Revelations 22:12 for example. 2) JC says his word lasts forever (Matt. 24:35). That means you have to obey God's Laws. Forever means forever. There is no changing what JC says here You have another problem in this refuge you think you have with John: He didn't know what he was talking about. He was factually wrong about the God he says sent JC to save everyone. I don't know which god john was referring to but it is not the god he says it was: John 3:16 Quote:
So you tell me which god John thinks he's talking about Gamera? Secondly, if John can't even get this one right, why on earth would you believe he has any credibility elsewhere? Your next problem with John is that JC says he and his Father are one (John 10:30). That means JC stands for everything that God said about his eternal and unchanging Laws in Psalms, Deuteronomy and Jeremiah for example. We also know that your God forbid adding to or altering or diminishing His Law in any way Deuteronomy 4:2 Quote:
Eccl 3:14 Quote:
Quote:
3) The law was not just given to Moses it was given and reaffirmed by JC your saviour (Mathew 5:17-20, Revelations 22:14) whose words last forever (Matt. 24:35). 4) God's Laws, the Laws JC upholds, are the duty of man - not faith in JC as a human blood sacrifice Eccl 12:13 Quote:

They do not mean only Jews can be saved and you know it. Jesus is your saviour, the saviour of the gentiles. that means anyone who obeys your God's Laws are saved. Period. Psalm 103:8 gets you nowhere. Your God's mercy will not extend to your blatant wanton defiance of his Laws. You're not even trying to obey them. Worse, you profane them. |

2 Timothy 2:7-8 - Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel Gal 1:11-12 - But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Now the "revelation" of Jesus Christ part sounds really good, but we're supposed to believe that a self-professed liar received the totality of the various Pauline doctrines in the brief episode of being blinded by the light? Riight. To me, it is apparent that he clearly states that he chose to preach his gospel instead of preaching the gospel that Jesus and his disciples were preaching. |

You've changed topics again in order to avoid the fact that Jesus himself rebuts your claim that the law is perfect. So I'll post it again so that everybody can see you are rebutted. Matthew 19:8 - He said to them, "For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. Mark 10:5 - But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. So much for your claim that the Law is perfect. As to "proving" Paul was inspired, already dealt with that. When you "prove" any scripture is inspired, I"ll give you my proof. Of course there is no such proof, which violates faith. |
