I'm in agreement with some of your premise. However, the clear teaching of this scripture is that these false teachers teach that grace is a license for sin, not only to subvert real concepts of grace, but in order to give people the concept that they can sin and there will be no consequences...

In the above quote you appear to be saying that God does not have wrath against sin; at the very least it is your implication. For if unmerited favour is not in place of wrath then what is it in place of?

Apparently, false teachers who teach grace as a license for sin, or turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness...their condemnation was marked out long ago...they were ordained to this condemnation. Jude 1:3-4 (kjv, NASB). kjv: Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you...

If you think that God doesn't have wrath against sin, you are sadly mistaken. Just read Romans 1:18, for example.

The Bible does in fact teach that predestination is according to the predetermined purpose of God...after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11 (kjv)). Eph 1:11, In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after...

We are not in the flesh; however the flesh is in us. I think that you are trying to pit Romans 8:9 against Galatians 5:17. What you need to try and do is to reconcile the two verses so that they don't contradict each other in your mind; and so that both of them hold authority as being divine...

If someone has the Spirit, then the Spirit is against the flesh and the flesh against the Spirit. Because obtaining the Spirit does not eradicate the flesh. If someone doesn't have the Spirit, there isn't even a battle. They just do what is of the flesh; they give in every time when they are...

Looking at 1 John 3:9: 1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Here it says that as believers in Christ we "cannot sin." To sin is something that we cannot do. Is this because we have no desire...

The fact that He condemned sin in the flesh means that He relegated sin to the flesh so that if we walk according to the flesh, we sin; but if we walk according to the Spirit, we live in holiness. But I would simply say that the verses that you have quoted don't nullify the verses that I have...

Good night. I will only say that it is written that the law is holy, and just, and good, just as the scripture says (in Romans 7:12). Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good, that sin might...

If you add "both" to the poll, I'll vote for that one.

The motions of sins, which are by the law, is what works in our members to bring forth fruit unto death (Romans 7:5). Take away the law as a condemning factor, and there is no more motions of sins.

As true believers in Christ, the law no longer condemns us from the outside, as tablets written on stone; but it governs us from the inside, as being written on fleshy tables of human hearts.

The things in the middle are indeed scripture; and are therefore profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. Insight can be gleaned from every verse of scripture; it is there for the taking. If you want to discount Romans 1-5, 7 and only pay...

Have you read my posts? Because I have indeed read yours. And I'm not discounting the verses that you have quoted (although the kjv, in Matthew 7:13-14, renders the word "difficult" as "strait" so that it is not in any contradiction to Matthew 11:28-30 (kjv)). Mat 11:28, Come unto me, all ye...

The fact that we are not under the law, are dead to the law, and are delivered from the law (Romans 6:14; Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19; Romans 7:6) means that there is no more condemnation because of the law. Which means that we are forgiven of past, present, and future sins; since the law no...

Romans 4:1-8 isn't really scripture to be believed, is what @CharismaticLady seems to be saying. There is a place for holiness doctrine, and there is a place for the teachings on grace. Grace as unmerited favour leads a man into holiness; believe it or not. This is what it has done in my...

I'm not evading anything. The question wasn't directed at me; but I answered it to the best of my ability. Fact is, scripture is silent as to the answer to your question. What do you expect me to do, try to find some kind of extra-biblical support for an answer that will suit your fancy?

The holy scripture doesn't reveal the answer to that to us.
