It's not "incorrect", because I never intended to indicate the condemnation had an "eternal sense", but that they are not justified in that moment (obviously, justification and condemnation are opposites), because justification is by God's righteousness by faith, which must be walked out...

Answer Matthew 18.

I've fully answered your questions. Answer Mathew 18.

The person who is not walking in faith is not walking in the Spirit thus they are entangled and not free to do as they wish--ie, they are sinning, they are enslaved, and are "condemned".

Sorry that you're (intentionally?) misunderstanding me. The rule is "each man must be fully convinced in his own mind"--infracting that Law of Faith is sin. Sin, separately (but congruently) is defined as "slavery". "Slavery" means "not free". The desires of the flesh are against the spirit so...

No, before the parable, Peter asks how many times he should forgive, and, after telling the parable, Christ says "So My heavenly Father will do TO YOU if you do not forgive", and this parable is part of the teaching which Christ commands His Apostles to disciple the nations according to, so...

If I have a lifestyle of not agreeing with my own thoughts, that is called slavery, not freedom-- Galatians 5 17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you...

Guy, answer Matthew 18.

OF COURSE it applies to me--if and when I am not walking in faith, I am not walking in freedom, but doing what I do not agree with, so I am condemned for sin as the verse says! If you are doing what you disagree with, aren't you NOT FREE, which is also called being ENSLAVED? Doesn't Paul say...

When a person is convinced they ought to do one thing, but they find that they do another, what is the cause? Isn't it that their body is telling them what to do? Peter says "desires which wage war against your mind". If we are doing things that our thoughts accuse us for doing, yes, that is not...

The plan of God is that people obey the Law of Faith--believe in the Name of God's Son and then walk in faith. If people do not obey the Law of Faith, doing these two things, they are not justified. I've cited Romans 14:23 to prove this. You went to "if we are unfaithful He is faithful". I...

So, there is discontinuity between the two? How is the servant forgiven? Is it a different method than can be found in Pauline writings?

No, you're misunderstanding me. We're not under Law for righteousness, we're under Grace for righteousness.

So, how is the servant forgiven all his debts? Is it not by the righteousness of faith that is described as "blessed is the man whose sins God will not remember" (Ro 4:6-8)?

1. I already explained what Mathew 18 has to do with it : your example was that a child doesn't unbecome a part of his family, but I prove that that idea is falsified by Scripture. 2. People who infract the law of their minds are slaves of sin (following their bodies), and they are condemned and...

Matthew 18 demonstrates being granted faith isn't a static state--by faith, he is forgiven, but when the faith is removed, his righteousness of faith forgotten, his debts return, so he's no different than an unbeliever.

1. You are not answering Matthew 18. 2. Well, all I can do is tell you that I know I am condemned when I don't walk in faith, but I can't force you to believe me.

This was styled as a "reply" to Matthew 18, but you didn't even address the problem of Matthew 18.

More than that, when I do not believe God's love for me, and am not reflecting that love to others (it shows in particulars like envying, hating, etc), I can know I am not in faith, though, what is more important is the next step : believe God loves and forgives me.

Yes, because you spoke about a child never unbecoming part of his family due to his behavior--that is OSAS.
