1Jo 5:1, Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

The law is the specifics of God's love (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6).

Not perfectly, but I do my best.

Justified in James is before mankind (see Romans 4:2). Justification in Romans 4 is the kind of justification that you are talking about.

To cease to be a worker of iniquity you must simply repent of a lifestyle of sinning and begin to seek to obey the Lord in everything. In other words, you must receive Jesus, not only as Saviour, but as Lord (see John 1:12, Romans 10:9-10). My definition of iniquity would be "walking in the...

The words "come short" in Romans 3:23 are in the present passive indicative tense...which indicates that it applies to those who are not active in pursuing the holiness of the Lord.

We are not justified by seeking to obey a set of do's and don'ts, but if we become justified by Christ, we will begin to become doers of the law. Thus, there is no contradiction between those scriptures. (read them carefully and note the exactness of what they say and how there is a...

Concerning Galatians 5:3-4... If I begin to walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, and the righteousness of the law becomes fulfilled in me thereby (Romans 8:4), am I therefore justified by the law? Or, have I been justified by faith in Christ, as He has given me the Holy Spirit...

Because I have considered him to be a solid teacher in the past. However, when I began to delve into what I considered may have been a secret love of sin in his life, I began to say things that would draw out whether such a thing were so. And it proved to be the case. But why does his...

The law is basically found in the Pentateuch....what do you do with the rest of the Old Testament? What do you say about scriptures such as Romans 15:4, 1 Corinthians 10:11, 2 Timothy 3:16, and 2 Peter 1:3-4? My point has to do with what appears to be your rejection of the testimony of Ezekiel...

The birth of Christ is not our redemption. Our redemption occurred because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

He offers it to all men; and you either receive it or you don't.

Very simply, that we are regenerated and renewed by the Holy Ghost because of the mercy of our Lord and not by works of righteousness which we have done (Titus 3:5). But that this regeneration and renewal is a change in the paradigm of and in the mind of the one who is truly born again, so that...

I will only say a few things that apply to everything that has been spoken since I last posted in this thread. 1) We do not need that any man teach us (1 John 2:20, 1 John 2:27). 2) The reality is that those who do iniquity will be cast into the furnace of fire (Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41...

No; for I understand that in my flesh, I am the chief of sinners (an even bigger sinner than you). Fortunately, I do not have to walk according to my flesh. The more consistently I walk according to the Spirit, the more consistently the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me (Romans...

Yes, the way to be saved is to resign yourself to the fact that you are a sinner and to resolve that you will be a sinner for the rest of your life... Repentance is not turning away from sin...it is accepting the fact that you are a sinner and resolving that you will do nothing about the state...

There is no "hatchet" to bury...unless you were wielding one against me. If you are sincerely repentant about your attack on me, then you are most certainly forgiven... But if you end up doing it again, I'm afraid that you will have to ask me to forgive you again.

Even in the scripture that you have quoted, the scriptures testify of Christ. How is it, then, that you do not accept the whole of what they testify?

I would define it more as shameless.
