[Q2. Another Gospel]

The Galatians were starting to believe and follow the other teachings of their day, Much like today, with the different teachings and schools of thought. It is up to a Church and more so the individual, to determine the authenticity of what is being preached. It is a very dangerous and scary thing to follow improper teaching, especially in this day and age.

[Q1. The Rescuer]

The obvious purpose of the death of Jesus was for the remission of our sins. He became the sacrifice once and for all. This ending Old Testament rituals and cleansings.

It is our Faith and belief in that fact that rescues us, today.

In my opinion it is our choice to believe in that fact that keeps us from falling back. Salvation is given freely, however it is a daily choice on our part. God desires a relationship with each and everyone of, but in the end it is our choice to respond.

Hello to my partners in study

This is a new format for me - so just learning my way around. The Welcome from Dr. Ralph says "welcome to the Sermon on the Mount - - - " Am I in the Romans Study forum??

I am the pastor of a rural church in Montana. We as a church family are trying this as a new way to have Biblel Study together. We have several signed up - and some will have to get a printed copy on Sunday moring to get on board. We have set up a blog for this study on our church web site - so we can talk to one another during the week about the study.

Then we will have small groups meet in Wed night and on Thursday moring and a study with men on Sat. morn. Also. a couple of teachers are getting together during a noon hour at our hight school and inviting others to join them.

I may preach on the topic at the end of the week as a summary - wrap up. Don't know yet.

I am looking forward to this extended study with our church and with all of you from around the world.
