I would argue, contrary to the New Perspectivists, like Dr. N.T. Wright, "works of the Law" includes all the moral requirements (eg, no idols) : "by the works of the Law no flesh shall be justified, for by the Law comes the knowledge of sin", and "I would not have come to know sin except...

Your false interpretation has someone forgiven of all their sins without being saved. "He saved us". From what? "Wrath". Men who do not believe are ALREADY under God's "wrath" (Jn 3). What is the "wrath"? They're DEAD in sins and trespasses. When we're forgiven, we're not under wrath, we're...

LOL "If you don't agree with ME you SHALL (KING JAMESIAN LANGUAGE) see and be sorry!" You are a fool.

1. Nah, Ephesians 2 1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions...

I think you'll enjoy the conversation here--in particular.

Actually, I was just mocking your empty grandstanding. Do you have a "chart", checking off your sins you accomplish, so you can show you're saved without works?

All of Jesus's parables teach spiritual truths via earthly truths. I am pointing to the spiritual implications of the earthly elements of the parable, as Jesus intended me to do. You don't know "the word of truth".

If you're not forgiven your sins, you are not saved from wrath. The guy was forgiven, thus saved, and, afterward, unforgiven, thus, lost that salvation. If you want to be unforgiven of your sins, and go to torment to pay for your sins, and call that "no losing salvation", then have at it...

One proof: those "in Christ" have "no condemnation" (Ro 8:1); but the one who sins is "condemned" (Ro 14:23). "In Him there is no sin."

You can "not see" the evidence all you want. As already explained to you, Paul says they "HAD run well". That is an explicit acknowledgement that they HAD had faith. AFTERWARDS, someone "hindered" them from "obeying the truth" (Gal 5:7). Together with Galatians 3:1+ there should be no question...

As already explained to you, over and over and over again, "belief" is a "command" (1 Jn 3:23,24), thus, disobeying that command is, by definition, a sin : even if we granted that "we only need to believe", which I don't, it is a sin to not believe, and when people are led away by a false...

Clearly, the man is a Black man. America says, based, in good part, on Christianity, "all men are created equal", and are welcome to do their good, so we can all praise God together; others want "multiculturalism" only because they hope to form disparate groups, and sow discord, so that we will...

You hesitate to believe Paul's words, then. Galatians 1:6, 5:7. It was proof that not all remain "in Christ", because remaining is by obeying God's command to i. believe in the Name of God's Son, and ii. love one another (ie, walk in faith--faith works by love), and, here, we see the Galatians...

That's not relevant : the dynamic of God forgiving fully, but, then, being able to rescind that forgiveness, is what is important. Do you hold, as the Scripture teaches, that God is able to rescind His forgiveness He had extended to you as a believer today so that you would have to go to torment...

To me, because I understand there are good and bad Christians, whereas you would say there are "true believers" and "false believers", I just say "Christian" to refer to all "true believers", and I take into account that not all remain in Christ. The basic fact is that not all remain "in...

It's not "confusing" to me, I am certain that your view is incoherent and inconsistent with the Scriptures. You are not acquainted with the Scripture, so you define any activity at all as "work": a. Again, when the land has its Sabbath, it is still active, but that activity is not "work". If it...

Yeah, my views, which are commonly derided as "salvation by works of righteousness", are "liberal"--makes as much sense as the rest of your gobbledygook.

We disagree.

That's already been described to you. They were "deserting God" through another Gospel (ie, unbelief) Gal 1:6. This was after they'd already believed the Gospel and received the Spirit Gal 3:1-3. Paul had to form Christ in them again, bring then back to faith Gal 4:19. They were severed from...

This sounds like Eastern Orthodoxy. Anyway, if he had remained forgiven, he wouldn't have been handed over to thetormentors, so... not sure what you do with that.
