Rom. 8: 3-4 "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 flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."...

@Michiah-Imla Do yourself a favor and tell me what you think Paul is saying here. Rom. 8:3-4 "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 flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the...

If we could keep the Law and Commandments, that would determine our salvation, there would have been no need for Christ to face the Cross. But because "no man will be justified by Law-keeping," Christ faced the Cross for us, to pay our sin debt that we may be justified by faith. If a man is...

The most wonderful thing about the Grace we don't deserve is even when we fail, we are still seen by God as Law-keepers through our faith in the finished work of Christ.

That's exactly what Paul said! We establish the Law because the moral Law (10 commandments) is God's standard of righteousness. All the commandments of Christ are the reflection of the true Law He taught. But rejected by the Jews. No man will see the kingdom of God without keeping the moral...

Michiah, pay attention to this, it will help you understand the Law/Grace conflict. Christ was under the Law, He taught the Law, but the Jews had polluted and distorted the Law. Christ taught the true Law, but was rejected, as the Jews had built the Law into their God. Salvation has always...

Got some things to do, Davy. May the Lord bless you and keep you in His will, my friend.

Afraid not! Do you remember when Christ was talking to the Pharisees about Abraham, Telling them "that before Abraham, I Am," and they took up stones to stone Him? Christ also told them that "Abraham seen my day, and was happy in it." Through an unrecorded vision in Scripture, God the Father...

No response, Davy, I don't want to argue. Nothing I can say about the faith and lack of faith concerning the 10 virgins would make any difference in this conversation.

You can place Charlie24's name in the place of Abraham. "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

I can't say I've reached sinless perfection, I'm just a sinner in need of Grace. I'm just depending on Him to deliver me from evil, doing what I know is right according to His Word. But my friend, Charlie24 will be perfect one day, when the corruptible puts on the incorruptible. I will then...

There are some things concerning this thread that I just need to release so I can get it off my mind. Usually when this happens it bothers me until I explain to the best of my ability. The Smitten Rock is what some call a "spoiled type." Let me explain this the best I can. The OT Scripture is...

I read your attachment and don't agree with any of the 3 reasons given. But let me make it clear that this is only my opinion why the judgement was so harsh. Moses was not denied entrance into the heavenly Promised Land, but only the physical in Canaan. It is my opinion that God would not...

Why do you think the author tells the Jews "there remains no more sacrifice?" That is, after trodding under foot the Son of God. It's because they have abandoned Christ. If it refers to just any sin, then we have no more hope in the sacrifice of Christ. It's so evident as to what is being...

Well, another error! There has never been a covenant made with the Gentiles! If you remember, the Gentiles have been grafted into the covenant made with God's chosen, the Jews!

The Book is called "the Epistle to the Hebrews." Who are the Hebrews?

It's not my fault you don't understand the audience being spoken to, or the situation of Law and Grace taking place at the time that warranted the writing of Hebrews.

Paul is speaking of a specific "willful sin" that of abandoning faith in Christ. While making his case for Christ as the High Priest over the High Priest of the Law, he is addressing the Jews who have converted to Christ but now under pier pressure from the Judaizers, are considering the return...

We've been through it so many times, Robert. I don't want to argue, I want to help you. Did you know that God the Father has placed you in a position through your faith in the finished work of Christ that all the days of your life, you will never be able to live up to that position! He has...

As long as you do good, you are saved, then when you do something wrong, you must be saved again. It grieves my heart to see that the Grace of our Lord has passed you by, Robert. You are living under Law, mixing Law with Grace, and it will be spewed out of His mouth. It's not about what you...
