@Soyeong This understanding of Romans 7:1-6 mirrors the traditional doctrine of the Pharisees (Paul had been a Pharisee) from ancient times that stands to this day : Niddah 61b Our Rabbis taught: A garment in which kil'ayim4 was lost5 may not be sold to an idolater,6 nor may one make of it...

No, I have been studying Japanese, and have been learning Japanese Kanji, though. Enjoy the website! I am sure you will do very well in your English studies!

As I said before, I am not better than you. I do not speak your language better than you speak mine. LOL Have you tried Duolingo.com ?

When Paul says "under Law" in Romans 2, describing Jews, is that "under Law" meaning "under Sin's Law", or "under Torah"? Obviously, he means "under Torah"--so, also, in Romans 6:14. It is BECAUSE they are not under Law that Sin will not master them, because... Romans 7:5For while we were in...

As I said before, and apologized for it, there is a language barrier--you're not even addressing the substance of the argument.

Those verses qualify the Gentiles as those who "sin without law", and who "do not have the Law", but, later, Romans 7:1, we see that they don't know the Law either, which one naturally concludes, it follows logically based on what Romans 2 teaches about the distinctions between Jews and Gentiles...

I got it done, and it wasn't as bad as I had feared it would be--I already did the one in my bathroom (this is another bathroom), so I already knew my way around, plus I knew I needed my face shield with 3M ventilators, and vacuumed to get the loose dust out of the equation. Kind of uneventful...

Yeah, OCD, PTSD, who knows what else.

You already know--Ro 2:6-16,26,27, where the Gentile believers, who neither possess nor know the Law, are deemed "doers of the Law" who "will be justified" on the Day of Judgment and repaid eternal life. I could pick through this, correcting the many errors, but let's cut to the chase : if you...

Thanks, but "salvation" just equates to the Jews' deliverance from Egypt--their behavior AFTER having been saved determined their standing with God, not their having been saved.

Yes. If you say, "If I were to do x, then I would be eligible for loss of salvation, but that could never occur, because Scripture teaches that God will make sure that that doesn't happen," you do not read the Scripture the same way I do, thus you are not impacted by Scripture as I am, do not...

To me, there is no purpose to life other than not getting a beating--and when you claim Christ makes sure I'm not going to get a beating, purpose has been removed from life, and to say "Now, serve out of love", I see no point, but if you say "Well, if you don't serve out of love, you'll get a...

Do you believe "if I TRULY believe I won't walk away--if people walk away it just proves they never TRULY believed"?

As Scripture has already corrected you--and you have furnished no response--if your conclusion is that Gentiles have to learn Torah to be Christian, you are in error, because the New Covenant says God writes His Law (what He wants people to do) on hearts and minds, and we see this coming to...

I've been trying to get up the courage to change this overhead bathroom exhaust fan (lots of dust and dirt involved, and I'm somewhat of a germophobe), but lots of stuff has been coming up, getting in the way, and I have to go to dialysis tomorrow, and I am terrified of the shame I will feel...

It really depends on your definition of "salvation". Paul says our "salvation" was foreshadowed, defined, by the Jews' "salvation" from slavery in Egypt (and Jesus says sin is like slavery in John 8), but, as we see, their behavior, after their salvation, was a greater consideration in God's...

It's insulting--insulting that it seems like I am being told to believe something that is inconceivable. "You had better obey Me, or I'll send you to hell, but you're not allowed to fear going to hell while you're obeying, you can only love. Don't acknowledge that I said I'd send you to hell...

Am I correct that this is from ChatGPT ?

If you are a person who believes salvation cannot be lost, you cannot help me, because you don't deal with the same problems as I do, because you read the Scriptures differently than I do. Do you believe in OSAS?

Yeah, I think Paul is getting after them for not walking in grace and faith--but there are variations of not walking in grace and faith. One variation would be Romans 14:23, where the guy has faith, but goes against it, but another variation is the Galatians, who were doing "good deeds" but it...
