While some Christians may claim or imply to be Sinlessly Perfect, I don’t think a believer who is perfect in conduct will say that they are perfect because the praise should go to Jesus and or God and not themselves for their conduct and perfection. The true teaching of Sinless Perfection is not...

Grace and peace to you this fine day that the Lord Jesus has made. His mercy and goodness endures forever (despite our disagreement here). Anyways, to get down to the topic at hand: Please take no offense, but you said you don’t hold to Textual Criticism. Yet, you don’t know what this term...

To quote a fellow Christian, ”The error in your reasoning is that it fails to account for differences that occur over time. The state of a particular man at time A does not necessitate that he be in that same state at time B. John Doe may not be keeping all of our Lord's commandments today, but...

Again, I don’t see a problem in updating our posts if we are seeking to make them better and more clear. I see the writing of posts as one would write an article. Surely it is not wrong to update and perfect a Christian article anymore than it is to do so with a post on a forum. I see them as...

No. Romans 7:6 is in reference to how the oldness of the letter is the Torah. It cannot be the Law that enslaves to sin in Romans 7:23. Oldness of the letter is a clear reference to the Torah. Oldness of the letter is clearly not the Law of Enslavement to Sin in Romans 7:23. Romans 7:1 says...

Well, I don’t see anything wrong with it, and you don’t make the rules here, my friend. I am free to edit and revise as I please. I revise as needed so as to say it in the best way possible. There is no ill will in revising my posts. The purpose of editing my posts is for clarity to all the...

You have to keep it within context now, my friend. Romans 8:2-4 says: 2 ”For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful...

@HIM The idea is that Paul wants us to fulfill the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the law (i.e. the righteous aspect or part of the Old Law) - Romans 8:4. This would be loving your neighbor (Which fulfills all of the Old Law automatically - See: Romans 13:8-10). This is the Moral Law like do not steal, do...

It says the Law of sin and death. Death is tied to Romans 7:6 and 2 Corinthians 3:6-7. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). We see Paul struggle with sin by being under this Old Law (i.e. in other words, he was not serving in newness of Spirit but he was serving in the oldness of the...

Well, first, I am not going to watch all those videos you sent (Because I am aware of the common arguments already). I have been aware of this topic for a long time and have discussed it on numerous occasions with the Bible. I have already provided verses that use the word “perfect” in the...

Again, I disagree. 2 Corinthians 3:7 says: ”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:” Romans 7:6 says: ”But now...

As for James 5:16: James 5:16 says: ”Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” However, what this verse or chapter does not say is that the believer will continually be in sin the rest...

All New Testament theology breathes as a whole. The Bereans were more noble because they searched the Scriptures to see whether those things be so or not (and not just an isolated book out of the Bible). So I disagree. Hebrews 7:12 says the Law has changed. Acts 13:39 says you cannot be...

I respectfully disagree. 2 Corinthians 3:6 ”Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” The letter here is the Old Law, the Torah, or the 613 Laws of Moses. Believers are to serve in...

As for Ecclesiastes 7:20: Ecclesiastes 7:20 is written during the Old Testament times. So the answer is Hebrews 11:40 that says, “God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.” In addition, Ecclesiastes 7:20 says in the Good News Translation...

In Romans 7:14:24: It does matter what tense you put on it because if Paul was speaking as a Pharisee (as Saul) in that he would be under the 613 Laws of Moses, he would have been seeking to justify himself by the Law (Torah) and thus he would have been fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4), and he...

Yes, Jesus who is God (second person of the Godhead) was indeed being humble in that instance. Well said.
