I'm sorry, but this seems a little bit schizophrenic to me...

And you complained to me about judging your soul... What was it that you said was the consequences for doing such a thing? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you... I have not blasphemed the Holy Spirit here... Rather, I have discernment to know that the source of these miracles...

I only sin when I am not abiding in Christ. I do believe that it is possible to abide in Christ consistently for the rest of one's life (1 John 2:17)... As for whether I have succeeded in doing that...I have not...which does not necessarily speak of the future of my life. For I believe that...

It has no power to "impart life" (Galatians 3:21)....it does have power to "convert the soul" (Psalms 19:7 (kjv))...by showing mankind that he is a sinner in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20) as a schoolmaster to lead him to Christ (Galatians 3:24-25).

I know it, even if you don't. The post in question that proves my point was deleted by the original poster. That does not mean that it was never posted; only that I cannot now bring it forth as proof. But you have to call my integrity into question if you are going to say that I am lying in...

This is saying that keeping God's commandments are the result if you really love Jesus. We receive the love of God through faith (Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5).

The righteousness of God is apart from the law (Romans 3:21).

Why do you like that, @bbyrd009?

I would only encourage the reader to be a Berean (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11) and to read the texts themselves; for they testify clearly to what I am saying.

Gal 5:16, This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17, For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:18, But if ye be...

Gal 3:24, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25, But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

You said "we" as though you were speaking of everyone in the church.

It is simply that the fruit of the Spirit doesn't violate the law. But scripture teaches that we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law. And I believe that this is as concerning condemnation. For we are still...

Speak for yourself.

In context, Jesus is saying that this is the attitude of an increased faith. It is not that we were obligated to do the works that we did; it is that we did our duty in the love of God. For that word, "obliged", I believe, is a mistranslation. My kjv translates it "duty" It is not that we...

The love of God being shed abroad in our hearts is a part fo the salvation that is given to us; but it does not save us. We receive the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14). That is salvation. The love of the Lord is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). The works...

Again, We are given a righteousness that is apart from the law that is nevertheless attested to by the law and the prophets (Romans 3:21). This is because we have the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14); and thus we bear the fruit of the Spirit; against which there is no law (Galatians...

Reminds me of the word of a specific serpent who said, "Hath God really said...?"

I may be nothing and yet still be saved. Paul said that he was nothing in 2 Corinthians 12:11.
