Interesting opinion, but I read... 1 Thessalonians 4 3For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6that...

Actually, the correct translation is "He who IS BELIEVING"--ongoing believing in the present tense--which is exactly in keeping with the "abide"/"remain" doctrinal concept. Had He said "He who believes", someone might be justified if they (despite all the rest of the Bible's testimony)...

Some do not remain in Christ (1 Jn 2:28), but break His commands, which, if kept, make a believer abide in Christ (1 Jn 3:23,24), because they're led away from Christ by idolatry (1 Jn 5:21)--eg, "I am astonished you are so quickly deserting Him Who calls you in the grace of Christ and are going...

Incorrect: the Christian who does not abide in Christ (1 Jn 2:28) by breaking the second table of the Law of Faith, "love one another" ("walk by faith" + "faith works by love" + "God is love" + "God writes His laws on our hearts and minds" (Jer 34:31-34; Ro 2:14,15) + "let every man be fully...

Are you talking about the gays? Yeah, God calls that an abomination.

lol sorry!

Isaiah 53 4However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, And our pains that He carried; Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, Struck down by God, and humiliated. 5But He was [c]pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our...

Oh OK. I don't have that issue bc I don't believe in faith alone, but both faith in Christ and walking in faith.

Would you please explain it?

1. Jesus calls "vows", permitted by Torah, "of the evil one" (Mt 5), and "any cause" divorce, permitted in Torah, "adultery", so your issue is with Him. 2. Gentile Christians are deemed "doers of the Law" because the Spirit writes God's Law on their hearts, so, no, they're not...

@mailmandan I hope, even though you disagree (based on your "frown" reactions), you can see that I'm just trying to follow Scripture. I have to believe what I read.

What it seems you're not appreciating is justification by faith is not arbitrary, it's based on righteousness, specifically "righteousness of faith", "God's righteousness revealed from faith to faith"--a righteousness which is by abiding in Christ by obeying the twofold Law of Faith (1. Believe...

The, text neve says "outwardly corporately in, Covenant", it simply says you're included with God's people by faith, and you're excluded from God's people by unbelief. Simple. The Gentiles who believed are warned that there is no partiality: the same rule that the Jews were cut off for breaking...

Yes, because God works in believers for His good pleasure, you are to obey that working (Php 2:12, 13), and we know He writes His law on hearts of partakers of the New Covenant (Jer 33:31-34; Ro 2:14), so we know that by obeying that working, people qualify as "doers of the Law" who will...

Galatians 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the Law...

Justification is by the righteousness of faith--and we're to not only live by the Spirit but also walk by the Spirit, as Paul says--and God's assessment of us is ongoing, as Romans 14 says the Christian who doesn't walk by faith is condemned not justified. See how that interlocks with James 2...

At the outset, I want to remind everyone that your view was unknown, it is foreign to, historic Christianity. The early Church did not hold to it. It is a recent innovation, and that is why it runs in to problems with every Scripture. Now, deliverance from slavery in Egypt by the blood lambs is...

Yes, Jesus was under Law, and didn't exist in the New Creation, we are not under Law and are in the New Creation.

Jesus didn't exist on it New Creation. Plus He was under Law. We are not.
