Read Matthew 5:17-20. If I am great in the kingdom then I teach obedience to all 613 commandments; not just the ten. Of course no one can keep the letter of all 613 (Galatians 6:13...coincidence?). But for those who are going to try to enter in by keeping the law, absolute perfection (keeping...

This new nature is the result of being saved. What saves is the appropriation of the blood of Jesus Christ to one's heart and life; and receiving Him into one's heart when He knocks.

Jesus is the propitiation for my sins; that means that His dying on the Cross was the appeasement of God's wrath against my sins. This, to me, means that He paid for them. If you don't want to avail yourself of this free gift that He offers, well, that is on you. As for me, I have received it...

You simply do not know your Bible. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 makes it clear that entire sanctification is a promise for the future for those who do not have it yet.

If anyone is perfect, their attitude is that they have room to grow (Philippians 3:12-15). So it is always the perfected ones who will claim that they are sinners when in all reality their life shows that they do not commit sins at the practical level. 1 John 3:6 w/ 1 John 2:17; and 1 John 3:9...

Rom 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15, And how shall they...

No one keeps the letter of the law (Galatians 6:13, Galatians 3:22, Romans 3:23). If you can testify that you wear tzizit and tallit and tefilin; and/or blow a trumpet on every new moon; then I will believe that perhaps you are complicit in obeying the letter of the law; while there are some...

@mjrhealth, Indeed, for it is written, 1Co 8:1, Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1Co 8:2, And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1Co 8:3, But if any...

You obviously have not read your Bible. "Faithful is he that calleth you; who also will do it." (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Most definitely. Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. And, did I say that He was dead? Heb 4:12, For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul...

There is a practical outworking that comes from being born again of the Holy Spirit. God sheds abroad His love in the heart (Romans 5:5) and this love is not in word or in tongue only; but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18).

The actual (letter of the) commandment of the sabbath day law is that you shall not do *any* work on it (read Exodus 20:10). Yet, Jesus, in John 5:17, on the sabbath day, said, The Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Even though Jesus violate the letter of what was written in Exodus 20:10...

It is saying, clearly, that when you see Jesus you see the Father. In other words, Jesus is the Father. You see the outward shape of the Son (His human form); but the inward reality of who He is is that He is the Father. Everything the Father is, He is (Hebrews 1:3).

That is not what it says. It says that the man who says he has no (indwelling) sin deceives himself and the truth is not in him. But you are pitting 1 John 1:8 against 1 John 3:9 and against 1 John 3:6 w/ 1 John 2:17.

@Behold, What do you believe about the incarnation? Is Jesus Christ come in the flesh?

Indeed, by the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20), and sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). So, when mankind is judged on the basis of his works, who has not received Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, he will be judged on the basis of whether he lived a perfect life or not...

Indeed, the holy scriptures teach that the righteousness that God gives us is practical in nature (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6, 1 John 3:17-18)

This is true for the believer in Christ; but you are teaching falsely because there are those who will be listening to you who are not believers. The Bible says, Psa 5:5, The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Psa 5:6, Thou shalt destroy them that speak...

"Sin is not imputed where there is no law." (Romans 5:13). This indicates that where there is no law, there is no transgression (Romans 4:15); and transgression is a violation of some standard. So, where the standard is absent, there is no violation of that standard. Notice that it says that...

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Gal 3:22, But the scripture hath concluded all (including the born again) under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal 6:13, For neither they themselves...
