A question directly from the master of confusion, once again, attempting to confuse the issue. That is what I call faith, and salvation is conditional on faith. See? faith in Christ, at least in my book, includes doing what Christ says we must do. Do you think we must do as Christ says in...

Or maybe you cannot....obedeince/obeying Christ, is not legalism, one thinking they can earn their way to heaven is legalism, and I know of no one who touts that.....some just like to claim they do. Now show me someone who touts legalism, please.

Sti Still with the copout. No trap, no zoom just a question, and no need for more excuses, it's clear you cannot answer the question, so why not just move on.

No, there was nothing whatsoever wrong with my question. I asked you a question, and you simply found and excuse to evade giving me an answer....so, yeah, nice try. Unless you can answer the very simple question, I'll have to assume, you know you were making a false claim, so thanks just the same.

Can you please show us a single post that purports legalism? I ask because I have seen the claim before, but never an ounce of proof legalism exists on the forums.

Welcome. Now teach us some truth. :)

One explanation would be todays very popular outlook on what the bible says: "If we can twist the scripture into an easier way, we will do it." Or "If we change it, they will come" Not needing to repent, changes everything, and a new gospel that includes repenting of sin is not necessary...

Problem is, there are some very bad things wrong with some churches these day, things so bad, Christ himself would have no trouble speaking out against them. Ephesians 5:11 ESV Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. And there are unfruitful works of...

The bible has made it very simple.... the answer is is right there in the last part of the OP's quoted Romans 7:21, So, "reasonably decent" would be to not practice the mentioned sins, plus any the Holy Spirit will make us aware of. And yes, I agree, can't hurt to ask for help in not sinning...

Thanks, and I'm expecting disagreement to the post, but we shall see.

I believe we will always be prone to sin, just as Satan was in his non flesh body. Regardless the type body we have, we either practice sin or we do not. It's all up to us to live a reasonably decent life and that is what the already quoted scripture is basically telling us:

I see it mostly as take a look at yo ownself.

I need to add, if you are homeless, you can get more fooodstamps than you can shake a stick at. I know because I tried very hard to shake a stick at mine to no avail. :D But seriousely, you need to take advantage of that, and whatever is there for you when it comesto benefits.

More long winded verse hopping, where if I wanted to do that, I could make the bible mean anything I wanted it too mean. All you did there was create a lie, Satan style. QUOTE="GRACE ambassador, post: 1051917, member: 10054"]Are NOWHERE found In God's Pure And HOLY Scripture, Correct? Of...

Of course he paid for every sin, what hotshot preacher did you get that popular little sirmisation from? He paid the price so we would have a chance, a chance to stop living like the devil, and show we have enough faith to show we love him, and not just claim it. “If you love Me, keep My...

Haven't read the thread, but the scripture on the Sheep and the Goats make it very clear that salvation is conditional. And as we read it and Christ tells us those who don't take care of the poor were condemned to hell, notice two things... 1) They were the ones who actually thought they were...

I went homeless around three yrs ago, and tried to stay with family up until the last 4 months where I have been more officially homeless, living in my car in parking, and vacant lots. I've avoided the shelters too, but here in Fl, the heat may run me into one shortly. If things don't work out...

The point? You want so much but have so little to offer, and no clue how you will be taking care of what you want. Sounds to me like you are asking for a divorce before you even get to the starting line, that is if you can find a naive enough gal to accept you as you are. So let's back up a...

And how do you intend to feed her, much less that beautiful Christian family?

Then you have nothing to offer her? Whether or not she is, remains to be seen, but do you think she should be fine with someone who has no security to offer her?
