Some people here seem to think their ship don't sink. When we talk about how we should try to do good, we should try to avoid making it sound (to those who don't know God or the bible so well) like our woks save us or keep us saved, or help save us etc. The work of God is to believe in Jesus.

Looking for context as to who Paul was talking to I saw this " Romans 2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, So it seems like he was talking to Jews there. So, in context the verse you cites seems to be saying, basically, 'You natural children...

We don't esteem one day above another.

So are you good then? Do you ever sin?

"And to the spirits of just men made perfect - Not only to the more eminent saints - the “church of the firstborn” - but to “all” who were made perfect in heaven. They were not only united with the imperfect Christians on earth, but with those who have become completely delivered from sin, and...

I thought heaven has the spirits of just men made perfect in it? Ever consider the just were not perfect on earth?

So do you think you keep the law and commandments?

I don't think anyone needs to practice to sin. Even when we practice not sinning, as Paul said, we fail. This commentary explains it fairly well. If we say that we have no sin,.... Notwithstanding believers are cleansed from their sins by the blood of Christ, yet they are not without sin; no...

What if a just man falls seven times a day? The point of the law is to show we are sinners. I find one of the greatest sins to be pretending we are not! People try to do the best they can, and follow His rules as much as they can. That is not what saves us.

Well, I would not say it is 'damnable' We are saved. A just man sins seven times a day. No one would need to forgive others if they did not sin also. No stray look is going to damn us. No blinders will save us either! God saves every one that asks. Then they are elect, because they elected Him...

Even the ten no one obeyed. Adultery for instance. One look sometime in your life and you are an adulterer.

Yes. We love God on the Sabbath.

Well, I think we should all try. It won't save us, but we can always try to please Him.

Do you keep these commandments? It seems Paul mentioned they were more or less to show us that no one could keep them, which is why we need Jesus to save us.

Jesus will rule the earth from Jerusalem.

Why, should we 'read' Adam as a lizard? A ghost? Keep us posted.

Stop talking insanity. God was a Spirit when He led Moses out of a real land to another real land. Jesus was born in a real town. You don't get to wave anything away with false holy talk.

Why would a land promised not be a land?

In the minds of some religious people there probably is. Great so what are you saying? Nope, nothing like that. So having sex in the 'changed' sex state means they are doomed? It seems to me the greater sin is those that encouraged them to do all that, and performed the deed etc.

Right. The thing is, for people damaged by the sex change procedures, they may not be able to 'stop' sinning if the sin is being what they were made into. All they could do is get their heart right, and repent.
