Jesus only wrote on the ground; and it is unknown what He wrote exactly.

1Jo 2:3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1Jo 2:4, He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jo 2:5, But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are...

James' statements are to be interpreted by Romans 4:2; for scripture interprets scripture (1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)). 1Co 2:13, Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. . . . Rom 4:2...

Atheists have not been redeemed by the Cross. We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2). An unbeliever's sins will land them in hell. The believer's sins are underneath the blood. See Romans 4:7-8, for example. Or, Romans 5:9. And John 5:24 (kjv) is an excellent...

Sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4); it is whatsoever is not of faith (Romans 14:23); it is not doing the good that we ought to do (James 4:17). There may be other biblical definitions; I am not thinking exhaustively right now.

Sorry that I forgot to mention this; I was typing fast. Yes, of course, once we are forgiven, if we are forgiven much we will also love much (Luke 7:36-50)...and this love will not be in word or in tongue only; but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18).

Believers are justified by works in the sight of men (Romans 4:2); before God, who sees the invisible (1 Samuel 16:7) a man is justified by faith apart from works (Romans 4:5-6, Titus 3:5 (kjv), Ephesians 2:8-9). Tit 3:5, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his...

That is untrue. For we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2). In Romans 6:22, it should be clear that in context, it is given as a free gift that the man who believes is set free from the power of sin; as an aspect of the "gift of righteousness" (Romans 5:17)...

You have it backwards. Salvation is not dependent on keeping His commandments; but keeping His commandments (in the proper manner) is dependent on salvation. A man is regenerated and renewed, not by works of righteousness which he has done (Titus 3:5 (kjv)). Because he has been regenerated...

No; salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15-19, Romans 6:23).

Abiding and walking in the Spirit does not have anything to do with works; except that good works may result out of walking in the Spirit and abiding. Abiding and walking in the Spirit are done in faith and are the result of faith. I know that I am preaching to you and that you may not be able...

The devil is one who seeks to heap condemnation on those who believe in Christ...he is the accuser of the brethren. Therefore, whatever sins you have committed in your life, you can be certain that he will accuse you of on your day of judgment. Moses killed a man (and was forgiven). The woman...

The verses in question (1 Corinthians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 6:1), in context, do not speak of us cooperating with God's grace for our own salvation...but they speak of cooperating with God in order to bring about the salvation of others. Of course, if we are truly justified, we have been born...

"worship" doesn't really mean "worship"... Heb 1:6, And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Let's try this again. Now, @Behold, I do think that our abiding is done in faith and not by attempting to live a life that is free from the practice of sin. However, I also believe that the result of truly abiding is that a man will "sin not" (1 John 3:6); and also, if a man is born of God...

It still exists in the believer; but it is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8).

What I've been saying all along.

Where, then, does indwelling sin reside?

I don't know what you are referring to.

What does this line of reasoning have to do with the questions that I have asked in the post here: Sanctified by the BLOOD
