I kinda think it's both. I've experienced deliverance from sin by grace through faith. That stopped the power of the evil one, extinguishing his fiery arrows. So, my speculation is: acknowledging the good God has done is one part, and, from there, walk in love toward God and others, remaining...

I long for the Bible to make sense, to cohere with itself. People get mad about that.

I like how you strive for truth--it reminds me of me. However, I try to stay on topic. I like order. You are not staying on topic. You are chaotic. It is indicative, to me, of a personal "wild" or "worldly" streak. You like to cause chaos. You like to push buttons. You then tried using...

I think you said you'd do this before. Please do. Thank you.

Have the "decency" to stay on topic. You are always out of order. Quit making yourself into a victim. "Oh my god you're a German! Poor me!" Think about what you're doing. I've asked you not to do it for a long time. Quit it. Then you won't have to turn yourself in a little crybaby victim.

I encourage you to author a thread on these topics which are of interest to you, but which are of no interest to me in the context of this discussion. I will not be changing the topic of the thread. As I recall, disorder, chaos, attempting to crash threads with inane ignorance, has been your...

I'm glad to hear you agree with the OP, as it is the straightforward reading--not going to get in to the tangentials you raised.

Seems you agree, from your statements, especially your admission that you are chastened when you do not abide in Christ. It seems pretty straight forward, though I understand why some feel the need to deny what is written. It upsets the benefits they gain from their view, which are real...

Please, people, do not come and scrawl graffiti--if you're going to leave a comment, be considerate, be on topic, address the OP.

Then you're likely not on topic--I find no reason to read or respond to your comment. The OP, the thread, is about how people misunderstand and misuse Romans 8:1.

So, are you agreeing or disagreeing with the OP?

Because of these things (ie, the Galatians choosing to become slaves through returning to the Law, not serving one another by faith which works through love (as also described in Romans 14)--and "slavery" "definitionally" involves fear (Ro 8:15), and the presence of fear portends boasting which...

Oops, you don't know the Greek! It's the same word as Paul uses to describe himself! Luke 12:47 N-NMS GRK: δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ὁ γνοὺς NAS: And that slave who knew his master's KJV: And that servant, which knew INT: moreover servant who having known Romans 1:1 N-NMS GRK: ΠΑΥΛΟΣ δοῦλος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ...

But not all remain "in Christ", proven by the fact that keeping His commands is how you remain "in Christ" (Jn 15, 1 Jn 3:23,24), and the one who sins by doing what he doubts, not what he is "fully convinced in his own mind" is correct, is "is condemned" (Ro 14:23), whereas there is "no...

Nope. Luke 12 47And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accordance with his will, will receive many blows, 48but the one who did not know it, and committed acts deserving of [ag]a beating, will receive only a few blows. From everyone who has been given much...

You didn't respond to the point of the OP, so it's not of any interest to me in this thread.

Oops, that was something another user said. It got mixed up because I was in the middle of answering you when I went to make the response to his reply--but, yeah, you have nothing of substance to say, just lots of crackling noises. Ecclesiastes 7 6A fool's laughter is quickly gone, like thorns...

Had you followed the conversation, you'd have read that I actually said part of remaining in Christ is being forgiven--but, again, the main point is that not all remain. Not all accept that reality, and that was the point I was making, which you never addressed. You are trying to change the...

Again, are you agreeing or disagreeing with the OP?

Yeah, actually, I think you missed my entire point, because you didn't address it, and you really seem to be arguing against me as if I were OSAS, whereas I've made many threads against OSAS, and you ought to have understood from reading my OP that I am against OSAS, As I said, you are...
