1. Jesus says not to compare yourself to other humans. 2. No, I am trying to have a solid foundation in Scripture so that I won't collapse under pressure. That is not the same thing as godliness. I wouldn't compare myself with those who disagree with me.

This is why it says "their thoughts accusing or excusing them" at the judgment (Ro 2).

Nope, Ro 2:6-16, 14:23, James 2--and the rest of the entire Bible, actually--show that final justification or condemnation are determined by whether we walk in grace and faith after we are justified by grace through faith in Christ (Ro 5:1). "The Law of Faith", obedience to which is counted as...

That's an interesting way to "discuss". I never said the Law was "abolished", as if God doesn't want us to love Him and others, I said the MEANS, the METHOD, is Grace, not the Law. Romans 14:23 I disagree with your characterization of these words which seem contrary to Ro 14:5,23. What did I...

The rule "each is to be convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5) is for believers. The one who breaks that rule, therefore, had been bound to it (is a believer). Ro 14:23 is a believer who breaks the rule. Paul wouldn't say "an unbeliever is bound to this rule for believers". Plus, he already...

@CadyandZoe Tangentially, the only part that gets me, the bridge I'm missing, that I haven't crossed, is that the manner of living, walking by faith, being described is described as "giving thanks" (Ro 14:6), whereas I have the habit of focusing more on averting punishment, which is a serious...

Instances of sinning are instances of following idols (1 Jn 5:21), instances of not remaining (1 Jn 2:28)--in the Galatians' believing in "another Gospel", that was "deserting God" (Gal 1:6), because it is idolatry (1 Jn 5:21), breaking God's command (1 Jn 3:23,24). The persuasion did not come...

What I meant was that whether you "see" it or not makes no difference as to whether it is there or not. I've acknowledged that you have that view. So you say, but Galatians 5:7 says they HAD run well, but had been hindered from obeying the truth. Being in the faith is being in Christ. As soon...

Yes, actually, it is a binding command. If not, he could not have sinned and been condemned. "The Law of faith" is not merely "believe in Christ". "The Law of faith" is a singular two-staged command. In 1 Jn 3, he says "if we keep God's commands" we have confidence. Then he shifts to "This is...

We're not "under" any part of "the Law", as I've proven. You're welcome to address the actual arguments I've furnished along those lines. Actually, we're saved by God's righteousness. God's righteousness is by grace through faith. First, it's believing in God's Son, then it's walking in love...

Waiting to return to topic everybody.

If we could bring it back to topic that would be nice.

Misunderstanding literally everything again?

Mindless, meaningless, empty emotion. No substance, never on topic. Meaningless worthless responses.

Thanks for the correction.

It sounds like you're trying to dispute something I never argued. Where did I say "faith alone"? I didn't. I merely stated what Paul stated, "faith is counted as righteousness", and explored WHY that would be.

Lol OK thanks

Not even going to finish reading this emotional mess. Your brain doesn't work--most peoples' don't. However, at least others give me Scriptural nonsensial arguments, so there's something to respond to. Your replies are just empty emotional personal grievances. Lol

Actually, the more they pressure me, the more facets of the truth I learn, so, I'm also getting something out of it, so there's that motivation.
