This one is about justifying Paul's use of Deut 30 in Ro 10 (Christ-centered "reinterpretation" of "the word is near you, even in your mouth", etc). https://repository.sbts.edu/bitstream/handle/10392/5598/Smothers_sbts_0207D_10455.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

That's not the topic. If you are interested on pursuing that discussion, I encourage you to make a thread about it. You are free to address the topic.

One thing I can appreciate about this is it raises the thought of the incarnate Son. God cannot be tempted, according to Scripture, but, when the Son was made flesh, He could experience temptation, and be a perfect High Priest Who can sympathize with our weaknesses, according to Hebrews. I was...

Your time could be better spent.

In my view, these irrelevant/non-existent distinctions are made when people try to force "faith alone" into the text, but find verses that contradict that, so then they have to say "well, yes, saved, but not converted", etc.

Just by chance, this perspective agrees with the early church and the ancient churches (Western and Eastern Catholic).

@uncle silas Read before responding (Proverbs 18:13).

You misunderstood me. It's not more complicated than that. No wonder, either, that you apparently misunderstand the Bible. Sorry about the misunderstanding. It wasn't my intention.

You misread what I said. Go check all of my posts, and see if I've ever said anyone was under Law, or whether I've CONSISTENTLY said we are NOT under Law.

You're all wound up for a "not under Law" debate. I never said we were under Law--and I deny that any Christian is under Law. The Law leads to a righteousness of one's own, not to being justified by God's righteousness by faith.

By what i said i meant "it doesn't work the other way around (as if one could say "those who are under Law are under Grace").

Nope. That explained what I denied.

You can't address anything because you're misunderstanding everything. You're addressing strawmen.

Yep. Again and again, you misunderstand me : the parentheses explained what I denied.

You're not addressing the Scripture.

Yeah, I've never said anyone was under Law--but Paul doesn't tell them "Christ alone", he tells them "serve one another" Gal 5.

Again, it seems you're misunderstanding me : those who walk by faith are doers of the Law, but it doesn't work the other way around ("those who are under Law are under Grace").

The Galatians were Judaized, and Paul pronounces the one who Judaized them "accursed".

None of these words changes the verse thar says if you don't walk in faith you're condemned Ro 14:23.
