Mark Driscoll on American Idolatry

Also I highly encourage you to read Galatians as Paul addresses this very issue of holding to the Old Covenant Law.

Oooo Also Hebrews. That's another good one. Sorry, I get excited with God's Word :-D You actually encouraged me inadvertently to read them again!

Please read Matthew 5:17-20. Don't let your "Self" delude you. Crucify it DAILY and help to set up The Kingdom which will of course have The Laws, Statutes and Judgements of God not the laws and opinions of man/"self" (look where that has got us in the world today with some people with enough wealth for a billion life times while people not a mile away dying of starvation). lf this does not help you l shall point out that both The Old and New Testament have been chronologically been surpass cont

Cont.. by The Koran (600 AD and is what l will be reading after The New Testament) and was brought down due to peoples digresstion from The Way which re-states the dietary requirements of God (no swine Koran Sura 6:145) unless it out of necessity (going to die Acts 10-15, Sura 2.173, 5.003, 6.145). l have nothing but Love and respect for your trying to help me but l will always follow Gods direct teachings not those of man/"self" or the church (Matthew 6:5-6, 1 John 2:27). Love.

Just to make clear by what l mean by "self", It is not "I" that lives but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20). It is not "Self" that lives but "Christ" lives in me. It is not "Self" that lives but "The Anointed One" - the One whose head/mind is anointed with the "Oil of Understanding" - the oil that lubricates the "seized-up" mind and gets it working again, understanding the TRUTH or WORD of God. Also when l said going to die l meant faint with hunger as well and God sending any animal to cont..

cont.. help overcome the hunger/faintness and to not refuse it on the grounds of the meat being "unclean" as it is a gift from God and therefore not to be called so (Acts 10-15, Sura 2:173, 5:003, 6:145) and this is why it's so important to read all THREE Books, Louis Farrakhan once said to a hall full of Jews, Christians and Muslims "lf Abraham is the root, lets not deal in branch knowledge" . 1 (OT) stick will fall in any direction, 2 (NT) will fall from side to side but 3 will stand strong.

Thank you for clarifying your view. I still believe you are wrong, and in need of the grace of Jesus alone. I agree with much of what you said earlier that there is need of law, but the OT ceremonial and social laws are now completed and no longer needed to be observed. The moral law yes, but not as a means of salvation (Ephesians 2:8,9) The Quran is another subject which is another god altogether whom Christians do not worship. It is merely the figment of Mohammad's imagination

I would also encourage you to watch the video's of Mark Driscoll. If you have Podcast you can get his Through Mars Hill Church Seattle. This is a guy who will preach at a scholarly level while still common enough where people will get it. I agree that we must die to self daily, and that also means dying to thinking that we should observe the laws that have already been fulfilled in Christ. I do care about you even though I do not know you or have met you. I just hope you want Jesus alone.

Thank you very much, l appreciate your care, concern and advice. l wish you all the best neighbour and hope to meet you at our real Home one day. Take care and God bless you.

P.S. There is only one God (no need to reply telling me you know as l know you do) but l will send you a video to show you (maybe) that The Bible and Quran have the same Author. Peace.

l have decided not to send that video to you but will urge you to past by a site jahtruthDotcoDotuk (change the Dot for . and put the w's in front). Thank you.
