Our position in Christ is that we are forgiven before the Father. However, the Holy Ghost's relationship to us is different. He deals with us as sinners; it is His job to convict us of sin and to sanctify us as we confess our sins. And our relationship with Christ is affected by these things...

I'm in the chair of the student most of the time...otherwise I wouldn't be a very good teacher. Why don't you try me...you might find that I have a working knowledge of the Old Testament and that all you have to do is point out what you believe in about the subject. But I really think that...

What part of "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" don't you understand? Amen! But this does not mean that he is no longer a sinner...it means that sin is no longer imputed to him. He is a sinner in that he has indwelling sin (1 John 1:8)....not a...

Here is the context of my words. It was you who had said that we are saved by our new nature; and I was responding to this. You took advantage of the fact that it was not absolutely clear what I was saying and tried to turn it around on me. Again, here is the context of my words:

By all means, explain to me how you think these things apply to the question that I have asked you; and the answer that you will give.

So, are you saying that it isn't necessary to keep the law? yes or no? ___yes, it isn't necessary to keep the law; or, ___no, it is necessary to keep the law.

Oh, okay...so you're saying that it isn't necessary to keep the law, then, am I gathering your doctrine correctly?

People in the OT looked forward to the coming of the Messiah; and even had the Spirit of Christ dwelling in them according to 1 Peter 1:11. And the scripture declares that we receive the Spirit of Christ when we believe in Christ (Galatians 3:14). Their righteousness, however, is as filthy...

If I am going to be justified through obeying the law, I must obey every aspect of the law perfectly from conception into eternity; for it is written: Gal 3:10, For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all...

Crossing your t's and dotting your i's is what you try to do when you attempt to keep God's commandments...especially when you think that such is going to be your salvation. It does appear that you do not know me as a person...and that is fine...what matters is whether or not you know Christ as...

I know that I am forgiven when I blow it (Romans 4:5), and I know also that He has shed abroad His love in my heart (Romans 5:5); and that this is the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law within me (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4)...and that this is my...

I'm not sure I catch your drift....what exactly are you trying to say?

too *much* religion.

The practical righteousness of Christ is by faith all the way through (Romans 1:17, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 14:23).

I take it you are either a Jehovah's Witness and don't want to believe what I'm saying because it means that Jesus claimed to be equal with God, in John 5:18; or else you are a 7th-day-adventist who has not yet come to the knowledge of salvation because you are still attempting to earn your...

No, only those who believe in Jesus are in Christ, see Romans 5:2 You are preaching Universalism in precise statements and then denying that doctrine in others.

I don't think so. Go ahead and give me your quotes, however.

Philippians 3:9 says, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

The law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ; but after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Galatians 3:24-25). A righteousness of God has been given apart from the law, and it is attested to by the law and the prophets (Romans 3:21). Because against the fruit of the...

I think that maybe you are just unable to understand what I am talking about. The fact of the matter is that Jesus can violate the letter of the sabbath day law and still not be a sinner; because as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec, He brought about a change in law (Hebrews...
