Hi, All these scriptures you quote do not support your point. How does one do righteousness? Option 1: obey the law of righteousness PERFECTLY. OR Option 2: believe on Jesus and our faith is counted for righteousness, Rom 4:5. To pursue righteousness and holiness refers to us believing on...

I share a similar understanding Christians are not perfect in physical behavior, but, our standing in Christ is a position of no sin. A Christian's life is hid with Christ in God, Col 3:3. I no longer live but Christ lives in me, Gal 2:20. so we, being many, are one body in Christ, Rom 12:5...

Nobody has said that God has cancelled His law. The law is just, good and holy, Rom 7:12. The law is God's principles. Perhaps you have misunderstood what I have said. Can I suggest you read my posts again. The law (including the 10 commandments written in stone, 2Cor 3:7) has ended as a...

Hi Enquirer, Amen, we keep his commandments. 1John 3:23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

Rae, you say that Christians (those who truly believe on Jesus) can be charged with sin. But what does God say? Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing (this includes sin) to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. For Christians our life is hid with Christ in God, Col 3:3. I no longer...

Rae, you assume too much with your incorrect allegation that Christians despise the commandments/the law. Such allegations are common from legalists. However the Christians who you make such allegations against, actually consider the law to be just, holy and good (Rom 7:12). What we really are...

Our inward man (Christ) delights after the law, Rom 7:22. Therein is the law within us. A Christian's life is hid with Christ in God, Col 3:3. Christians abide in Christ, and in him there is NO SIN, 1John 3:5. So why do you then judge a Christian's righterousness by whether they obey the law...

You misunderstand scripture. Matt 5:18-19 I agree that the law will not pass till all is fulfilled. In fact we see the law at the end in Rev 20 at the great white throne where those under the law will be judged by it. To break even just one of the least of the commandments means that such will...

True, sin is transgression of the law, 1John 3:4. And whatever the law says it says to those under it, Rom 3:19. Christians are not under the law, Rom 8:2, Rom 10:4, Gal 3:25, Gal 5:18, 1Tim 1:9. Hence we see that Christians have "ceased from sin" (1Pet 4:1), we "cannot sin" (1John 3:9). Who...

True. For your own sake you should reconsider your misinterpretation of scripture. We all need to be careful of what we preach too. James 3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. Note the example of error teaching used in James...

2Cor 3:7-11 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather...

Hmmm.... dont know what happened in my last post. I'll try a different approach. Hopefully you can connect the answer to the relevant part of your previous post #10. Jubilee Jones is correct that in trying to mix works of the law, with grace, is adultery. It's spiritual adultery with Hagar...

2Cor 3:7-11 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather...

Angelina is correct that everything was fulfilled at the cross. The law (including 10 commandments) was done away. 2Cor 3:7-11 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the...

Hi hertoeternity, I differ on the doctrine you offer. You refer to God's will. What's His will? John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and BELIEVES IN HIM may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” And yes, sin is...

I understand the lukewarm to be those who mix works of the law, with grace. We cannot mix works with grace, Rom 11:6. And we see many scriptures confirming that once under grace we should not turn back to the law. Sadly we are seeing many today professing to know God, but in their works of the...

Hi Rae, For the sake of brevity I've narrowed this post to just a few of your points. Shorter posts dealing with fewer points are better for all. You said we are to do our best to obey the law. Is this what you describe as establishing the law (Rom 3:31)? How much obedience to the law do...

I question your doctrine to highlight it's shortcomings and inconsistency with scriptural truth. Whether it's 'habitual' or 'imperfect' behavior that condemns people under your doctrine, both I contend with as it goes beyond the gospel of Christ, as evidenced through the circumstances of the...

Hi Axehead, Epi and some of his mates claims that perfect obedience/lifestyle/behavior in thought, word, deeds must be consistently maintained as evidence that you are saved.. Epi and Prentis, for example, have said that they have not achieved this yet but they believe that one day, in this...

Hi Axehead, Actually we do seem to see the Sabbath similarly. It's a surprise to find that we have finally found something to agree on...hey? :) BUT, as your emphasis is on perfect physical behavior/lifestyle as evidence that one is saved then WHY do you not remain consistent in your doctrine...
