Do you interpret Romans 7 as pre-Christ or post-Christ?

Abuse of Scripture : the next verse says he thinks it is right for him to say so because of the good works they had displayed. It doesn't apply to everyone, only those who are cooperating with grace, as he says, "obey... for it is God at work". So, yes, for every person who is ultimately saved...

1. Don't misrepresent things. The case I set out to make was the reason there is no condemnation for those in Christ (Ro 8:1), yet the believer who sins is condemned (Ro 14:23), is because not all remain in Christ (1 Jn 1:28) by obeying His commands to I. Believe,and ii. Walk in love (1 Jn...

Please clarify

Paul, who knew this reality better than any of us, didn't spend his whole life harping on this one thing--AND he LONGED for the Jews' salvation. Too many people who recognize this truth are hateful toward Jews. That is not right. Stephen's last words were "Lord do not hold this sin against...

Oops! He was crucified for humiliating the leaders of Judaism, rejecting their religion and authority (Mt 15)! They couldn't bear Him stripping them of the praise and honor. Their Judaism wasn't true to Scripture Jesus submitted to! So, no, Jesus, though "King of the Jews", was not, in that...

"Judeo-Christian" seemingly refers to the shared agreement on the moral validity and authority of the Old Testament texts. In that sense, there is a "Judeo-Christian". On the other hand, yes, there is no "Judeo-Christian", because they are "displeasing to God, and hostile to all men" (1 Th...

Behold doesn't arrive at thought through study, he just rattles off whatever nonsense he's been told--no need to point out what Scripture says.

That guy has lots of people on his ignore list. Reminds me of the Pharisees. Sad. Every thread he engages in (or a striking number I've seen) he is putting someone on his ignore list.

Quit scrawling your empty graffiti on the thread. It's rude. Go dump your brains out on your own threads. This thread has an OP. Engage the OP or scram.

No, actually, none of this helps explain why faith is righteousness.

You just rattle off the typical fare, and don't even bother with the actual material of the OP.

This is not mutually exclusive with what was stated.

God's "righteousness" is that He forgives our sins, glorifying Christ, His Word. 1 John 1 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It is a righteous thing God does--God does the right thing--when He forgives us...

Peter was not to call the non-kosher animals he saw "common". Acts 10:15 V-PMA-2S GRK: σὺ μὴ κοίνου NAS: no [longer] consider unholy. KJV: not thou common. INT: you not call unholy Paul uses the same word in Romans 14, so we can know this can refer to the same type of non-kosher foods...

No, lying was actually how Rahab was justified. It was, in her case, an act of faith. "Love fulfills the law because love does no harm to one's neighbor" (Ro 13:8-10). Bearing false witness against your neighbor is a sin, because you are hurting your neighbor. Paul also told holy...

I did, actually. LOL Everyone (all commentaries, all teachers) agrees with me. You remain unconvinced. That's a force of nature I can't predict.

God's "judgment" is that He gave His Son so that we could live through Him--trust that.

No, he wouldn't have been worried about the Galatians observing days commanded in Torah if that had been the case--and why would Paul have introduced the "one law" to resolve the dispute if it were not that there was a thought that what was going on was in contravention of Ex 12? Clearly, that...

I honestly thought I could get some sleep, but it's escaping me, so I might as well be here. 1. The text says the Gentile believers will be justified by being doers of the Law BY DINT OF THE SPIRIT WRITING THE LAW ON THEIR HEART, the New Covenant promise (Jer 31:31-34), and, as Ezekiel says, "I...
