If your interpretation of Jesus's Words ("not one tittle shall pass from the Law") is correct, why does He immediately proceed to nullify the Torah on vows, condemning anyone who takes a vow, saying taking a vow is "of the evil one" (Mt 5)? Why does He overrule Torah on divorce (Mt 19)? Why...

Yeah, you're not on topic--you're not "arguing with me", you're not addressing the OP. Stop treating my threads like a dump--leaving your unrelated thoughts.

"Just obey me" : That's an "interesting" way to have a discussion. No, actually, you aren't responding to the OP, and you are contradicting Scripture, and I have something to say about your mishandling of my words as well as those of Scripture.

You're arguing against arguments I never made. "Why is that hard to understand?"

The biggest "contradiction", or "paradox", I've found is the issue of works and faith--it took a long time, and I learned to pray during the process (this is when I'm given the answers--reading only gives me questions), but I think it makes some sense to me now.

I like the fact that you say this. I wish more would heed this basic advice.

1. "Faith is counted as righteousness" is a direct quote from Scripture, so there is no overturning it. 2. When I quote that verse, I am not denying that walking in faith is also mandatory--so you're arguing against an argument I never made--just look at all of my other threads, where I am...

Read the OP before responding to the OP. Proverbs 18 13He who answers a matter before he hears it—this is folly and disgrace to him. If you disagree with the things said in the OP, then quote sections of the OP and explain why it is you think that the things said in the OP are wrong. Thank you.

I didn't need to go to hell. Anyway, that wasn't the point--the point was I stick close to Scripture, and I can see when people are not sticking to Scripture.

Yeah, if you like Kimchi!

At least don't lie about me. I was perfectly clear : Why do you use dishonesty when you talk with me? Yeah, you become born again by obeying God's command to believe. You don't know what you're talking about.

I recognize some people who disagree with me have God's presence--some in a way I don't. Unfortunately, I went to hell from listening to a pastor instead of God, so, now, my only certainty is what the text says, so I stick close to it, and I notice no one knows what they're talking about (when...

God's command (part of it) is to believe (1 Jn 3:23,24)--and "but to those who believed [obeyed the command] He gave the right to become sons of God." You don't know Scripture.

OK

Just wanted to point out that we're not under Law

When actual sin occurs in the heart, the Law detects it, but didn't cause it. However, not all breaking of the Law occurs as a result of sinful desires, which it condemns-the Priests break the Sabbath while working in the Temple and are not guilty. The Law can detect and condemn sinful desire...

OK I just wanted to clarify because some people believe in sinless perfectionism.

We are under Grace, and it seems this means the means of sanctification is knowing Jesus, "looking away unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith". "If they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of the truth"--so if we began by knowing Christ, we proceed to...

1 John 4 17By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. But don't forget... 1 John 3 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ...

Yeah, Peter says those who have suffered in the flesh have ceased sinning--as Paul says, "we will be glorified together with Christ if we suffer with Him"--but, still, even John the Apostle sinned (he says so in Revelation), so, at the same time that a person strives to please God, they should...
