No, the letter addresses the Roman Church, in the which are Jews and Gentiles. The occasion is the Jews had been ousted by the govt, and were returning to find Gentiles filling their Church, thus there were problems, and the Jews were boasting in their Jewishness, and looking down on their...

Romans 2 13For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

"Accepted us for eternity": if that's the case, how is Matthew 18 possible? The guy is forgiven, so he's a believer, born of God, then, bc of his sinful behavior, after being born again, God rescinds the forgiveness, and tosses him into hell. No, your message is not Biblical. It has contours...

You are utterly without knowledge: Romans 2 13For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. 14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves...

Yes, I do not understand the Bible. That is why I discuss it with other believers. "Iron sharpens iron." You cannot make sense of the Scriptures as a whole. You take one part of it and reject the rest of it. Therefore, holding to one part of it, and rejecting the other, you are unhelpful with...

I have debunked your ignorant claims more times than I can count. Not only in this "chatroom" but others.

You're misunderstanding me. The issue I addressed was merely the content of Romans 2, and who it is who was being justified by being doers of the Law. The reason I shared that information was because you asked. I never said Jewish believers cannot be doers of the Law. Paul was taking the Jewish...

You don't know the material. You do not know the things you are saying. It's only "a righteousness of my own", "works", "dung", if it is done in fear: "a righteousness of my own from the Law" (Pp 3:9) is "works of the Law" by which "no flesh will be justified, for by the Law is the knowledge of...

Jesus says that someone who is forgiven their sins through Christ's sacrifice can sin in such a way as to have that forgiveness rescinded, so that such a person ends up being thrown in hell. For those who argue salvation can't be lost, or that being born of God can't be undone, tell me: are...

You really are missing the point. "Accepted us forever": if that's the case, how is Matthew 18 possible? The guy is forgiven, so he's a believer, born of God, then, bc of his sinful behavior, after being born again, God rescinds the forgiveness, and tosses him into hell. No, your message is...

Only doers of the Law will be justified on the Day of Judgment (Ro 2:6-16)--those who walk after the Spirit fulfill the Law (Ro 8:4)

Nope, if it were selfish works, it would pertain to "a righteousness of my own", but Paul says "God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith" (Ro 1:17) (thus "each man must be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5), or else he is sinning and is condemned (Ro 14:23)), such that he...

He's not listening to me, he already held the view I enunciate here, but, now, he sees his view is upheld in the particular Scriptures discussed here.

Here's a "tip" on how you can know whether we speak the same message: actually READ the thing you're "responding" to before responding to it. Proverbs 18 13If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

Guy, the title says "justified by works", so you're not arguing against me. Lol Proverbs 18 13If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

Maybe so. Just trying to understand the Bible--and people like you aren't helpful, bc, for whatever benefit you derive from whatever truths you're affirming, you have lop-sided views of Scripture.

Prove it.

Nope, trying to understand the Bible--and, again, when we walk by the Spirit, those aren't my works, which would be my righteousness, but God's righteousness thus God's works.

1. Gentile believers are in view: a. the Law written on the heart (vv14, 15, 26, 27)is the promise of the New Covenant. b. They're "circumcised in the heart by the Spirit " v(29). 2. They walk after the Spirit so they do the Law. 3. Ro 8:4 we fulfill the Law.

In the context, it also mentions God being able to forget a man's unrighteousness. Therefore, since the dynamic of God forgetting unrighteousness is still at play, we know that God forgetting righteousness is still at play. Don't you believe "God doesn't change"? I also proved this is still...
