Hebrews 10:38,39 says nothing but what Romans 14:23 says : if you do things that you doubt are correct, not things you are fully persuaded are correct, you are condemned, because God's [justifying] righteousness is revealed from faith to faith (Ro 1:17), steps of faith (Ro 4:12). In your book...

This is where I contend you are only partially correct : the man who believed the Gospel. and was justified by God's righteousness by grace through faith, but does not ALSO WALK in faith is not justified but "condemned" (Ro 14:5, 23) because God is not his righteousness because he isn't in faith.

Not so--Paul was still having to overcome boasting after he was saved, because he continued in walking before/relationship with Christ by faith, and Christ sent a messenger of satan to buffet his body to prevent Paul from boasting. Boasting isn't done away with by "faith alone". Holiness is a...

When you said we were justified by faith alone, I disagreed, saying it was only part of the truth, so I incorporated that idea that faith was always intended to be understood as something that needed to be walked in not only held.

Irrespectively, the Bible truth must have Bible answer because we bring our suppositions to bear on Scripture--but Scripture must inform and correct us, because Scripture interprets Scripture, and we aren't Scriptural enough at first to understand Scripture.

No, I said "IF" it is not also the case you are misled, it's bad enough that you are potentially misleading others. I never said we were under the Law. The Law produces a righteousness of our own. We are under Grace. Grace is God's righteousness at work in us to will and do. Grace produces...

God doesn't cast His pearls before swine, He speaks in a way as destroys the pigs.

I appreciate how you are breaking the Greek down; I do not gloss over it, because I do not like when others gloss over my efforts which I take for their own good.

What you claim is incomplete and could mislead--if it is not also the case that you are also misled.

Obviously, one truth seems to conflict with another (or else there would be only one Church worldwide with one confession), until you read some more.

I've supplied you with ample explanations for why they were incomplete; you may respond to all of the information I have already spent my resources supplying you with.

Yeah, because if your works don't align with your faith, there is a fracture--what you think is what you do, so when you do deeds not in alignment with what you are claiming you believe, those previous thoughts/faith go away. This is the parable of the sower--some seed fell on rocky ground, some...

Your post was partially accurate, partially inaccurate; I have proposed the solution.

I will read through these carefully, but I wanted to comment : Ro 1:17 God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith ... The just shall live by faith Heb 10 My righteous one will live by faith, but if My righteous one shrinks back My soul has no pleasure in him Heb 11 Without faith it is...

When did I say we were under the Law? We're under Grace--and Grace produces convictions in men, and the men are to walk by those convictions (Ro 14:5), or else face condemnation (Ro 14:23) for not walking in love (because faith works by love). HOW is it that the man is "condemned" if all you...

@Johann It seems to me the Gospel is the declaration of God's righteousness (Ro 1:17)... but, also, of men possessing God's righteousness (Jer 23:6)... so, yes, "God is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins, and cleanse us of all unrighteousness," but that "talent" He sows into us is to...

I welcome any and all break down of Scripture you think will add clarification.

Scriptural statements.

Faith is both passive and active--John always passively identified himself as "the one Christ loved"--and, he says, "we love because He loved us first"... whereas Peter always declared his love for God, and failed... the means to love God and men is by passive reception of God's love on God's...

On the contrary, those "in Christ" enjoy "no condemnation", but the one who does not walk in faith is condemned (Ro 14:23), because he is not remaining "in Christ", as Christ says (Jn 15), because remaining in Christ (Whose Name is "God Is Our Righteousness"), is by faith in Him AND (walking in...
