The key to victory is being delivered from the law (Romans 6:14, Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19, Romans 7:6). Because the principle of the law is that sin takes advantage of it in order to produce in you all manner of concupiscence (Romans 7:8) and the motions of sins, which bring forth fruit unto...

There is the motivation of the Holy Spirit's love (see Romans 5:5). That is not human effort, that is graceful obedience.

We are all born in iniquity; and therefore rebellion did not "spread through the nation". Rebellion was in the nation through and through from the beginning. It was only by the calling out by grace of certain people that any of them were even righteous. All were dead, according to 2...

By way of reminder, this was my response to your half-statement: To @Randy Kluth cont'd from posts #122 (intentional sins?), #127 (intentional sins?).

You need to not even make half-statements that can be misconstrued as your promoting false doctrine. Because if you do, you can be certain that I will call you on it. So tell us, please, how the context of your statement nullifies your statement; which I find to be a statement of false doctrine.

It is indeed disputable, for the reasons that I stated in my post.

That's because our righteousness is as filthy rags before we are saved, Isaiah 64:6, Revelation 19:8.

Here is the quote:

WHAT ABOUT CORNELIUS ?

It seems to me that you have completely ignored Hebrews 10:4 to be able to make these statements.

Romans 7:14-25 is Paul's use of the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION; as he identifies himself as carnal in order to define carnality in order that his readers may understand where they are in their state of mind and also that they may seek and find the solution for that state of mind. He...

What scriptures did you quote? You seem to be wanting to confuse the issue. I never said that works don't involve human choice. I am saying that works don't save; per Romans 4:1-8, Ephesians 2:8-9, ad Titus 3:4-7. However, this exercising of righteousness is not what saves us. What saves...

I beg to differ with this. If you are speaking of the ceremonial law, then there is this: Heb 10:1, For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto...

Excuse me, Peter was a believer in Christ and therefore a member of the body of Christ.

It is only the body of Christ that is saved by grace through faith. (I don't think you can find a scripture that says that Israel is saved by grace through faith apart from induction into the body of Christ through faith in Jesus).

Both. (for the one that you are opposed to, see 2 Corinthians 5:19, Romans 5:20).

He became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). And, seeing He is infinite in His nature of Deity, He does not have to continue to be in hell; for it is possible that He paid the full penalty of eternity in the lake of fire for the billions who...

I believe that you are referring to Ecclesiastes 10:6-7. Yes, the princes are the ones who give into the work of the ministry (see Proverbs 13:7); and unfortunately, all too often people who misuse the tithes and offerings of God's people are the ones who ride. You know, these things were...

It's been said that we're already there...;)

If that were the case, then his salvation would have in a sense relied on his works. So this is not a biblical statement. Paul's salvation rested solely on what Christ did for him on the Cross; this was his only trust: not in his own righteousness; neither in any practical righteousness that...
