    The Blended Gospel

    You see the same thing that these verse are saying right here on this forum. 1 Cor 1:11-12 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of...

    Under sin

    *** So in the end a person is saved by his/her works trying to keep the law, right? Jesus just came to die on a cross so that mankind could save themselves by what they do, right? So there is not a free gift from God, right? You have proved over and over that your faith is in what you do and...

    Under sin

    *** Rom 14:5-6 5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord...

    *** Notice the box around thje above. If you use the QUOTE button it will put the post you are replying to in a box. The answer in your question is that if you are trying to live by commandments you are letting sin reign in your body. I am dead to sins of the flesh because I am ""IN...

    The Blended Gospel

    When I attend a Sunday School all that is talked about is sin with the belief that trying to keep the law is what we are supposed to do. I don't think that is the gospel of grace. As a matter of fact most all Sunday School teachers stay away from teaching the truth so that they will not offend...

    The Blended Gospel

    *** You are right in that the blended gospel will not save anyone.

    The Blended Gospel

    *** Paul did not establish the churches we see today. In Paul's church no one was above the others. They may have had different titles but not to be what we see today. Show me where Paul says that only the clergy can perform rituals. The way Paul's church was to function was that some would...

    Under sin

    *** I don't have a problem. It is clear to me that Jesus taught the law to those under the law. Those in Christ are dead to the law. All you are doing is what the Judaizers were doing to Paul's convert; get them back under the law. Rom 6:10-12 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin...

    The Blended Gospel

    *** Our obedience is to believe in what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    The Blended Gospel

    *** The law condemns mankind. Grace is a free gift of salvation to all who will trust in Jesus' work on the cross, period.

    The Blended Gospel

    *** I did not say Paul saves anyone. But Paul's gospel of grace does for those that believe it.

    Peter in Rome?

    **** Just because you say so, right?

    Under sin

    *** Do you know what it means to have God's righteousness? God's righteousness is imputed to the ones that have faith in what Jesus did on the cross. There is a difference between a person's righteousness and God's righteousness. We don't get righteous by our works, we get it through faith...

    The Blended Gospel

    *** Standard addressing would have a box around my name and writing so that others can see who wrote what. You did not do this and I gather from what you wrote here you have no intention of doing it so that others can note who said what. okay.

    The Blended Gospel

    *** You can't have law and grace. The two can not be blended into one. Law = man's work. Grace = Jesus' work for us. Your efforts to blend what Jesus said to the Jews who were under the law into what Paul taught the Gentiles is noted. That is exactly what the judizers were doing to Paul's...

    Under sin

    ** It seem that you do. If there is one person that you do not love then you break the very commandment you are talking about. But you don't love others. You wish to put then under the burden of keeping the law. Said another way you wish to keep others under the law. You do not wish to set...

    Under sin

    *** Boy are you hardheaded. Jesus taught the law to the JEWS who were under the law. You just can't separate the law from grace and that is your problem, not mine.

    Under sin

    *** You do not know what love is. I say this because your replies on the many threads do not show that you have any love for others. In your heart you condemn anyone that has a different opinion than yours.
  20. H. Richard

    Under sin

    *** You make yourself a judge of others. Be careful that your judgement does not condemn you. If you break any of the laws your words condemn you. But I know you will not see this. Stop asking me personal questions. You wish to put your words in my mouth and then condemn me for them. That...
