When he came back, he said, "I have sinned against heaven and against you."

I think that I have to disagree with you there. Everyone who goes to hell, goes to hell for their sins. For hell is the punishment for sin. Mat 5:29, And if thy right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should...

It means that we don't have to obey the dictates of out old man / flesh, but that we can walk in newness of the spirit. However, salvation is not of works by the slightest means (Romans 4:1-8 (Romans 4:5-6), Titus 3:4-7 (Titus 3:5), Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 11:5-6). Being "justified by works"...

Just like "sinless perfection" is a misnomer intended to produce a straw man (and a false witness) that is easily toppled by 1 John 1:8... When the doctrine of entire sanctification actually does not teach that sin is eradicated from the body (i.e. we become sinless) but rather that it is...

If the Lord brought it to my attention that I have been antagonistic towards people, should I seek to correct that behaviour myself or should I sit back and wait for God to do it? Do you think that maybe the Lord brought it to my attention so that I could deal with the problem in my behaviour?

I'm finding it difficult to keep this repentance up. I am so tempted to correct people when I see them posting the wrong things.

There are Christians who are not born again (people who walk into a church every Sunday but are not saved). Ought not the preaching to identify them as sinners and ought not the law be preached as a schoolmaster to lead them to Christ? By the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) and the...

I'm not sure that I understand your question...but if I do understand it my answer is no. What I am trying to say is that if we fulfill the righteousness of the law in our behaviour, we haven't necessarily fallen from grace. Yes, in this context the letter killing is bad...it is the...

I agree. And I repented last night while reading Jon Courson's commentary on Paul's epistle to the Galatians. He mentioned that a work of the flesh...strife...means having an antagonistic attitude towards people. Ouch!

1Jo 3:8, He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Sin Sin Sin...and make music with the heavens... Sin Sin Sin...grateful that you hear us... As we shout your praise...lift high the name of Jesus...

Yes, it would appear that the "no more sacrifice for sin" in Hebrews 10:26 may be referring back to Hebrews 10:4-6; but might it also not be referring back to Hebrews 10:12? In which case there is no more sacrifice of Jesus that will avail for you if you willfully sin against the Lord after...

So, if the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us because we walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, does that mean that we have tried to justify ourselves through law-keeping?

How does it kill? Might it be beneficial in accomplishing what is written in Romans 8:13?

I think so. What's your opinion on the matter?

We can glean the knowledge of the Lord from every aspect of the law; but mainly I am referring to the moral law....which teaches us about justice, mercy, and faith (Matthew 23:23).

Indeed it is (Romans 6:23). Yes, indeed. That is a basic (John 3:16). Indeed He did...He justified us with His blood from all sin (Romans 5:9). Yes (Romans 4:8, Romans 8:38-39, Hebrews 9:12). Again, correct (Micah 7:19). Correct yet again (Psalms 103:12). Most definitely (1 John...

Yes, it is indeed the love of God that drives obedience. In Romans 5:5 we are told that the love of the Lord is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost; and in Romans 13:8-10 and in Galatians 5:14 we are told that love is the fulfilling of the law. That every commandment is fulfilled...

It is either speaking of the fact that Jesus counts us as a precious jewel and paid the cost of His very life to purchase us or else it speaks, if you look at it from another angle, of the value of heaven and that going to heaven is worth giving up all that you have. Paying the cost of my...

It says in Acts 2:38-39 that if you repent and are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. It does not say when you will receive the gift; only that it is certain that you will. So, if your baptism was in the name of Jesus...
