This has been covered...that in the OT God justifies (deems to be righteous) by faith OR/and by works. But you are missing the fact that God justified Abel as RIGHTEOUS...and not "imputed the righteousness of God to him" . Abel was righteous as a man....just like many others. And this is where...

The wicked: Neither loved God nor men. Fully selfish motivation, wicked behaviour. Destroyed in the lake of fire Actually "The Filthy": Claimed to love God but took His name in vain...hypocrisy, mixture and unholy. Unteachable, unruly and obstinate...no humility or fear of the Lord. Spots on...

When a person says that they read the bible through the lens of the gospel in general or the gospel of Paul in particular...they are saying that they are reading through an indoctrination...a slant or twist...that allows them to ignore vast portions of the bible, even the words of Jesus and the...

Can a person be "blinded" by grace? Yes. "Grace is deceitful". A person can deny the very words of God in order to try grabbing hold of something that should only be handled with fear. Abel was deemed righteous by God. Was he imputed with a righteousness not his own? Of course not. He is called...

You don't understand what a conscience can do. Go to a poor country...and ask the humble. Go to a poor country and ask the devout...why do you fear God? Go as someone who desperately needs to escape a futile life of pretensions.

The gospel is the culmination of all God's doings over history. You ignore all the conditions and root causes to embrace a gospel according to your imagination...having no root in reality. Your idea of grace is lawless. The church is the pillar and ground of truth. Jesus is the way and the truth...

Your gospel environment, as you put it, is not accurate to the the whole counsel of God. You are trying to understanding a tree by looking at an acorn. That's not the point of the law. Jesus said that it was good to tithe....not wrong. But that there are weightier matters to consider. It's...

This is false. Genuine humility is a fruit not only of the Spirit but also those who see themselves accurately before God. There is a human humility...that God accepts. Just like there is a human righteousness that God accepts. The fear of the Lord is also natural to those who can accept God's...

But barring eternal works prepared in advance....there is always the human qualities of humility and godly fear that God accepts from us. :Thumbsup:

Again you fully miss the point.. The difference between thinking about going for a walk and going for a walk is that the one who goes for a walk stays in shape...and the one who only thinks about going for a walk does not. THAT'S the point. You are trying so hard to justify thinking OVER...

Take those words and look at how the dishonest here react to what Jesus says and God declares ...straight from the bible. Hence My own concern for many here. I weigh my words carefully...not idly. I'm confronting egos...not with an ego but with truth....ego-less truth. The sin is to attack...

In the military there is a maxim to praise in public and criticize in private. That is necessary for cohesion in a group...a group that is engaged in the same mission. On this forum, we see disparate missions. Some here are looking to be flattered and affirmed. A few are here to seek truth. And...

I start with sound doctrine...and many examples and explanations. The fact that you can't see the flesh reacting in others is because you yourself are also reacting in the flesh. Look at how others receive what I say. Of course people will say they are just being fooled... but that is the beauty...

That's because people are mixed. Whatever is of value is protected by the flesh. It's up to people to NOT react in the flesh and get down to a deeper conversation to edify what has value. Rather than forsaking the flesh and having no confidence in the flesh, people double down in a...

Trusting in Christ is one thing...but ignoring every warning of Christ and building a false hope (or taking "hopium") by naming and claiming all the verses that pertain to others ....being those who have indeed been crucified with Christ and bear an eternal fruit by translation into the kingdom...

Nice verses, but misused in the context. Are you a fence-sitter...not able to discern or make a decision due to a character that is both lukewarm and wishy-washy? Do you have any experience with the risen Lord...the power of His resurrection? Or are you another religious speculator who has...

The forum is not about ego boosting or affirmation...it is about the truth and argumentation arriving at the truth. If you can't engage ideas, for the sake of greater clarity of the bible narrative...then you are misguided in your purpose here. We see A LOT of immaturity regarding any kind of...

Seeing the two sides are spiritual :Happy: ...versus.... carnal :eek:...how so?

More lies and typical slander. YOUR gospel is delusional. Paul's gospel is the gospel of the kingdom. As per the bible and according to many verses that you ignore. You are a dishonest and delusional troll, in truth.

When someone seeks affirmation more than the truth, the whole process is thrown into disarray.
