The work of providing forgiveness for our sins; the work of paying the penalty for our sins so that we would not have to pay that penalty ourselves.

Jesus did break the sabbath, very clearly in scripture (John 5:16-18, Exodus 20:10). But He did not sin in that; because 1) He is the Lord of the sabbath, 2) He is high priest according to the order of Melchizedec; and therefore 3) He came not after the law of a carnal commandment but after the...

In that, when Jesus commands us to do something, He also enables us to obey the command. This is why Peter, when Jesus came to them on the water, asked Jesus to tell him to come out to Him on the water; and it is why he was able to walk on water for that brief moment when Jesus told him to come.

Sin that indwells our mortal flesh but that we don't act upon. So, if I do not lose my forgiveness when I fail to keep the law, how is the law a requirement? There are no consequences for the believer who violates the law; he is forgiven. Sounds like a religion of "do" rather than "done"...

No, not on these boards, thankfully.

I do my best to obey the rules myself of course...but I am concerned about where people begin to "go overboard in moderation", there may be problems. I have written more about this below. I believe that, yes, I am still saved when I sin. Because the law came 430 years after the promise and...

So, you should probably go and find and delete every post where OSAS doctrine has been called ungodly on these forums...including this one...because I will say right now that OSAS (as opposed to POTS) is ungodly to the hilt... Once Saved Always Saved, defined as, if you go forward at a church...

I'm certain that the definition that I have given will also come up if you search long enough.

Okay, how about this one: Where in scripture does it say that we need a teacher? If scripture did say that, it would be contradicting itself; for it is written, 1Jo 2:27, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same...

So, you're saying that we have to go by your definition in order for it to be valid....

What if he were to say that the doctrine in question is "ungodly"? It seems to be as much of an insult to that doctrine as to say that it is "stupid". And, as @Ferris Bueller pointed out, he is not calling a person stupid but he is referring to a doctrine. If someone is offended by something...

It tells us that in such a case we are bastards and not true sons.

It is not only the ten commandments that define sin for us, but all 613 in the Old Testament and all 1,028 in the New... Of course, we can condense all of it down to 2 for safe-keeping....believe on the name of Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment (1 John 3:23)...all the...

I don't think that calling someone's doctrine "stupid" warrants having their posts deleted or anyone being reported. Any child in pre-school learns to shake it off when a classmate calls them "stupid" The people on these boards are not a bunch of Thin-Skinned-Individuals...they can handle it...

It is all that I do. But when Christ is living His life in me and through me, my lifestyle becomes one of abstention from sinning; because Christ cannot sin: and if He is living in me and through me, the behaviour that erupts out of this vessel will be holy behaviour. It is when I begin to...

So, are we no longer forgiven if we fail to keep the law perfectly? And, if that is the case, is that not the same thing as saying that we are justified by the law? However, the scripture says, Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by...

I would define legalism as believing that you are saved by works; or, by the works of the law. Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Catholics, and the cults fall under this category, as far as I'm concerned. As for your statement of what legalism is, that is not legalism. For in the truth of the...

I was just making sure that there was no misunderstanding...nothing against you personally.

I would say that it is John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4... But I'm interested in what @Michiah-Imla has to say on the matter. <edit>: And, Romans 5:8... (thanks, @BarnyFife)

And I didn't say that you said it was.
