Gen 31:1, And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. Gen 31:2, And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. Gen 31:3, And the LORD...

No, for they are led by the law as a schoolmaster to Christ... And they are converted (with true conversion; as that is the only kind of conversion spoken of in the Bible). Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

1Th 5:19, Quench not the Spirit. 1Th 5:20, Despise not prophesyings. 1Th 5:21, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Jesus' blood is not "cheap" and so it does not purchase the kind of grace that is "cheap". It purchases the kind of grace that will "make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you..." (1 Peter 5:10-12)...the true grace of God... False doctrine and heresy. And God is holy...so to turn to...

My question was in response to post #3. And post #3 is unclear as to the answer. That would be referring to forgiveness not cleansing. If you are cleansed then the sin that you are cleansed from doesn't any longer have any say over your behaviour.

Jesus was not an archangel prior to His incarnation. He was "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6).

I think that God does not have glory when Christians live a sinful lifestyle...but satan gets the glory.

However, when we preach the law, conversions will result (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20, Psalms 19:7 (kjv)).

See Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, and 1 John 2:10; all of which teach us that we don't have to stumble or fall. So, if I don't sin, would that indicate that I am not a sinner? And if not, and I sin because I am a sinner, if I don't sin, doesn't that make me a sinner who doesn't sin? The real...

I think that I disagree with you, @amadeus, and would say that the crying of the baby is selfish and therefore rooted in sin. It may in fact be necessary for the survival of the baby; but it is no less sinful. The issue is that selfish = sinful and the crying of the baby is selfish. That it...

I do believe that the gift of prophecy has not ceased in the body of Christ. I, at one time, thought that I had the gift of prophecy and tried my hand at making predictions. I found that I do not have the gift of prophecy; although one of my predictions did stunningly come true to the 't' (I...

The pre-incarnate Christ is the Father (Isaiah 9:6). He was incarnated as a Man (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7). When He rose again and ascended into heaven, He became as the holy angels in His glorified physical body (Matthew 22:30). His name shall be called "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6)...

"I am a sinner saved by grace" vs. "I am made righteous through the blood of Christ." (posts #6 and #7)

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8). It may be that it is true of us that we have no sin; but if we say it there is something integrally wrong with our understanding and doctrine (see Job 9:21 (kjv), Isaiah 42:19 (kjv), John 9:41 (kjv))...

It should be clear that something can occur in the Christian's life, which is called the adoption, to wit, the redemption of the body (Romans 8:23). This adoption, defined as the redemption of the body, had already occurred in the Galatians (Galatians 4:5-7). To the Romans, it was something...

Saying that faith will never cease in your heart because of the sealing of the Holy Ghost, is different from saying that you will continue to be saved even if you don't have faith. In the former thing, the person continues to be saved because he continues to have faith. In the latter, he can...

Yes, no doubt, He is God incarnate. However, according to the flesh He is "made of the seed of David" (Romans 1:3 (kjv), Isaiah 45:11).

The pre-incarnate Christ is the eternal Father who inhabits eternity (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 57:15). He is the one Lord of holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5; Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). That Jesus is the Lord is the clear teaching of holy scripture (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)). See...

The passage in question teaches that we still have indwelling sin, but have been delivered from the committing of it in the practical sense.

Hi @MatthewG, I would refer you to post #6 ("I am a sinner saved by grace" vs. "I am made righteous through the blood of Christ.") of this thread.
