Since believers who not only live by the Spirit but also walk by the Spirit Gal 5:25; Ro 8:1,4 by walking by faith are not in the flesh, but are "in Christ" Ro 7:1-6, 8:9 (but those who had believed, but are not keeping the two commands whereby we remain in Christ 1 Jn 3:23,24, are not remaining...

Again, you are not thorough. You're not going to get out of interacting with all of that. If you do, I just won't talk with you anymore. You're not going to have me invest in responding thoroughly so you can come in and flippantly wave it away.

The aspect of the verse that interests me is "I know and am persuaded in the Lord", not the "nothing is unclean in itself". In other words, it seems like he's saying that he can do these things before and as unto the Lord, and he will not run away from the Lord, shrink back in shame (Heb 10:38...

I've addressed and debunked your view on "works", but you have not even tried interacting with my view on the matter.

1. Again, you're not thorough. This is not at all an answer to every one of my answers. 2. Again, you answer matters before hearing them, as shameful fools do (Proverbs 18:13): I have said, endlessly, that 1 Corinthians 10 refers to a type, and a type is never its own anti-type (here, the...

Yep! They don't even bother to glance at the passages that came before--"because you have become a slave to God, you have the fruit of holiness, and the end of holiness is eternal life". Eternal life is a gift only because righteousness or slavery to God is a gift, and that is only IN CHRIST...

@Episkopos One thing I'm curious about is where Paul says "I know and am fully persuaded in the Lord that nothing is unclean in itself". Elsewhere, he warns "this persuasion does not come from Him Who calls you". There are different places persuasions come from. "If we abide in the light..."...

I do not say they do not or cannot know God. That said, I do not want their lives. 95% of men who go to Church are addicted to porn. They talk about grace and faith, but it doesn't do anything for them. God delivered me from porn by grace and faith. Satan's arrows are extinguished by God's grace...

It's kinda scary that it's so plain, yet people are unwilling to confess it. It makes me know there must be other things that are plain that I can't see. God is merciful to me.

@Episkopos A user named @Hepzibah liked one of my posts, so I followed that back to a post and found out that you read this similarly. Pretty cool to find someone who just reads it straight. No backflips, no gymnastics, just plain simple truth. The rest of these people are willy nilly.

You have used a lot of words to never address the issues raised in the OP.

You are confused about the difference between the thread's Title and the thread's OP. If you actually read the OP before trying to respond to it, you'd know that Romans 14 is central to the topic. Your problem is that you answer matters before you hear them. Proverbs 18 13He who gives an answer...

Again, as with everything else, you're very confused about what "works" are. Romans 1:17 God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith Romans 14:5 Each man must be fully convinced in his own mind Romans 14:23 What ever does not proceed from faith is sin Yes, when we walk in faith we are...

Right, Adam lost what God gave by sinning--therefore, sin can make you lose a gift that you didn't earn by doing anything right. Romans 8 12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the...

You confused the matter, as you always do. You are always confused--and, again, I would ask you to interact with the answers that were supplied you, which you persist in refusing to do, even until now. Yes, it is "typical" of me to keep my thread in order. To you, that's a flaw? LOL You can't...

Rather, how did you read the OP, decide to make a reply, and not understand that Romans 14 was crucial to the topic? Or did you not even read the OP? Or did you not retain the information? What happened? You're actually helping me by proving that "they claim to know God but in their works they...

The OP is about Romans 14. Why don't you know this? Don't you acquaint yourself with a matter before answering it? Proverbs 18 13He who gives an answer before he hears, It is folly and shame to him. Do not answer a matter before hearing it. You're adulterating Scripture. You're...

Why rely on your "memory" when it renders you incapable of actually interacting with the thread, but, then, still decide to come on and give a reply, knowing you're not really replying, because you aren't acquainted with the material nor are you willing to bother acquainting yourself with the...

Because the post deals with the compromising of the believers justification, bc he's condemned, not justified, as James 2 says, bc he doesn't walk in faith.

In Romans 14, the issue is not "If somene isn't a believer in Jesus's death and resurrection, they're condemned", it's "If a believer doesn't also do what he believes he should, but walks in things he doesn't believe he should (unbelief), he is sinning and is condemned".
