Do you wear tzitzit and tallit and tefilin? Do you blow the trumpet (chofar) every new moon? If you don't, then you are in violation of the letter of the law. Romans 7:6 tells us that we are delivered from the law in order that we might begin to walk in newness of spirit and not in the...

I'm the third and youngest in my family...my two older brothers, twins, are 8 1/2 years older than me. I guess you could call me a "spoiled brat"...:D:p:cool:

He's not going to get your point, @Michiah-Imla.

The works of the flesh, mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21, are all things that if you walk in them you would be violating some law. And the fruit of the Spirit, mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23, if you walk in them, there is no law that you will truly violate in your behaviour. You may do something...

Both the old man of sin, and the law, died in Romans 7. We died to the law.

Thank you, sister (?)... May the Lord also abundantly bless you in the kindest way possible.

A worker of iniquity is someone who commits sins... The one who truly believes 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is born of God...this is what the Bible says about those who are born of God: 1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he...

I think that the person may mean that everyone begins their lives walking in the direction of sin (Ephesians 2:1). When they repent, they make a 180-degree turn away from sin and towards righteousness. So now, they are walking in the direction of righteousness (seeking first the kingdom of God...

Yes, and of course I did not mention that person by name... Glad to hear that we are good. yes, let's move on.

I was very simply merely asking those questions of @Nancy. You and @Gideon were the furthest people from my mind.

1Co 6:9, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Co 6:10, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall...

The quote from her was this: My response was right on topic. My point being that what you may consider to be sinful behaviour may in fact not be sinful behaviour... So, who are you to judge whether someone is entirely sanctified or not? (I'm not saying that you are the one who is doing the...

None of these scriptures would move him; for he has re-defined repentance as being towards God but never away from sin.

Yes; I suppose that I have been driven to foolishness by reason of his attack on me (see 2 Corinthians 11). I should have been commended by him; but instead, a blot.

As believers in Christ, we go to men on behalf of the Lord (evangelism, preaching, teaching) and we go to the Lord on behalf of men (supplication and prayer). This is, basically, what is spoken of in 1 Peter 2:9. This applies to all believers; not just to those who have been specifically...

I meant nothing against you personally, @Adoration. Your situation operated as a springboard by which I was able to make a point. I'm sorry that you were offended. (see Psalms 119:165 (kjv)). That is all I'm going to say about it.

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13. That means specifically calling on the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12). Galatians 3:24-25, the law is to be preached as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ. Romans 3:20, it shows...

Of course, God's righteousness in us (Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6) is a practical righteousness on the same level as the righteousness of Christ (1 John 3:7). And yes, Jesus' righteousness is greater than that of the scribes and Pharisees. If we let Jesus live His life in us and through us, the...

And I was not even intending to have a conversation with you but was only using your case as an example. There was no need for your name to even come up as I was making it an anonymous example. I will address you directly now however. I think that you are specifically judgmental about those...

I will say that what this member has done has been a hurtful thing; for he has called me a "Tare" However, I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day. It is a case of the tare calling the wheat a tare. For in...
