This has already been addressed--identifying someone's ancestral lineage and describing one's manner of living ("walk after the flesh", and contrasting it against "walk after the spirit") are not the same goals, so comparing the phrases is to compare apples and oranges. While it may be true...

No, there's no sin in Christ.

The topic of v12,13 is not "what Christ did", it's your responsibility to walk not after the flesh, but, instead, to mortify the deeds of the flesh, so, yes, it's talking about sins, and sins lead to death, as it says.

So, you do affirm OSAS. There are so many errors here, but, so as not to get to far off on a tangent, I will simply point out, that, no, I'm going to remain consistent with the preceding chapter, and simply say that sin kills, leads to death--and he asks who will deliver him from the body of...

No, 1. The context shows v22 is one condemnation (of the one who practices his faith in a harmful way instead of keeping it to himself), and v23 is a different condemnation (of the one who does not eat with faith, bc whatever does not proceed from faith is sin). 2. The general problem is...

Scripture speaks for itself. I'm glad you recognize that. Again, walking in faith is God's righteousness not my own (Ro 1:17, 14:5, 23). OK You think your way, I stand by my view of the context. Walking in faith is God's righteousness, as stated, and when we do so we fulfill the Law (Ro 8:4)...

No, the context shows he is harming his brother--and 1 Co 8 (same topic) explicitly states you sin against Christ when you sin against your brother that way. What it is saying is "blessed is the man who does not bring condemnation on himself by harming his brother with his faith he should keep...

They "just so happen" to lead to death--just as it says in Romans 6. Based on my interactions with you, I'm not surprised you're going to try to spin this plain truth as well.

"mortify the deeds of the flesh" You were the one who said it was about Jews trusting in their pedigree. The terms "according to the flesh" and "walking after the flesh" just don't address the same issues. I reject your claims about what Paul is saying. Paul is mocking their pseudo spiritual...

Well, that's what this discussion is about--why the guy is condemned when there's no condemnation in Christ. Obviously, he's not remaining in Christ. Then we see that, yes, indeed, remaining in Christ is by obedience (Jn 15; 1 Jn 3:23,24). Nope, when I walk after the spirit--being fully...

No, i. Romans was written mostly to the Jewish Christians in Rome (a. Ro 2:17 "you call yourself a Jew", b. "Abraham our forefather according to the flesh" Ro 4:1, "Brothers (for I speak to those who know the Law)," (Ro 7:1))--the Gentile Christians didn't possess (Ro 2:14) or know (Ro 7:1) the...

Never said it was. Already showed you context does not allow for that. 1. So, you deny that we abide by obeying--a doctrine taught by Apostle John (1 Jn 3:23,24)--I can't help that. 2. I never said the guy goes straight to hell, I merely asked why he was experiencing condemnation. I merely...

No, we're saved as a gift, and walking after the spirit, which justifies at the Day of Judgment (Ro 2:6-16, 8:4), is a gift, which is, categorically not our own "works", because that term corresponds to "our own righteousness", but "God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith" (Ro...

Yes, you already conceded the point when you said that, in your estimation, it referred to people who trusted in their Jewish pedigree. What does it mean to trust in your Jewish pedigree, and not notice that you're not meeting God's expectations of righteousness, so that you might resort to...

Nope, he's sinning against Christ when he harms his brothers with his faith he should keep between himself and God (1 Co 8:12). Moreover, context shows that v22 refers to one condemnation (bringing condemnation on oneself by exercising one's faith in a way that harms one's brothers), and v23...

The guy was forgiven, and the forgiveness was rescinded based on his behavior. It's as plain as day. You reject that. I accept that you reject that.

It's a parable, so it has elements that it wants to highlight. It's "odd" to me that you don't regard the most conspicuous elements--lessons it is definitively conveying--God rescinds forgiveness to a servant due to his misbehavior. That said, for my part, I would say the danger in being in...

Not "hypothetical" : Jesus says it applies directly to those of us who have been forgiven (35"That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."), and it mirrors the Lord's prayer ("forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors")--and this...

Lol "he wasn't really saved" What kind of "salvation" does he need if not the forgiveness of all his sins?

I'm puzzled by your question. I don't understand where it's coming from. I didn't say salvation was eternal. I actually reject that notion.
