It plays out in that when people say, "I am a sinner saved by grace," I do not interpret that, in my own life, to mean that I must inevitably sin. That I am a sinner means that I have sin and am utterly sinful in my flesh; while in the practical realm, the fact that I am dead to that sin means...

There is, also, grace for the sinner who will in due time come to the knowledge of Christ's righteousness in his heart. As he continues in God's word, there is much therein that will minister to him that there is hope while he continues to be a sinner; that God will yet bring him through into...

It is written in the new and is there to produce New Testament doctrine. You have said that we are sinless when we are walking in the Spirit. If that is the case, He would not need to be our advocate. Rom 6:10, For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth...

I believe that I have answered this question in post #53 (UNDER THE LAW!). The law is still in effect, as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ. Psalms 19:7 (kjv), Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:24. The only sense that the (ceremonial) law could do this was in pointing people to Christ, who would...

Look at the period of time between posts. I actually was laying on my bed for a while thinking about the doctrines that have been purported here recently; and that scripture in Galatians came to mind. Actually, to be more exact, I happened to be reading in Galatians and came across that...

The blood of Jesus does cover our sin according to that passage.

According as I also am of Christ

The New Testament. Heb 8:13, In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. 2Co 3:6, Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the...

Righteous can also be defined as right standing and relationship with God. Phl 3:9, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Righteous can also be defined as right standing and relationship with God. Phl 3:9, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

It is also not a false doctrine, see Romans 4:7-8. Which is not to say that the Lord doesn't also regenerate true believers so that our lives our changed into lives of holiness (2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:3-7). It is simply to say that if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father...

We must understand that we are forgiven of all of our sins (sin will not be imputed to us, Romans 4:8) through the blood of Christ (and that therefore our relationship to the law has changed); and that this is the key to having victory over sin in the practical sense; if we want it. If we don't...

And of course, the post in question was not addressed to you per se but to anyone and everyone who wants to be under the law. If that is you, then consider that the passage in question refutes your position. If that is not you, then ignore the passage or else simply take it as edification to...

The law does not bring about redemption at all. In Psalms 19:7 (kjv), it is declared that the law has the power to convert the soul. However, we find in Galatians 3:21 that it does not have the power to save (impart life). What the law does is to point out the fact that we are sinners; and...

We are no longer under the law of the Old Testament (Romans 6:14); but this is not lawlessness: because we are ruled by the law of faith (Romans 3:27). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). Sin worked through the law of the...

I hold that we are perfect (Hebrews 10:14) but not sinless (1 John 1:8). Notice that in the latter verse, John includes himself among those who are not without sin, using the word "we". (Is John an unregenerated, unbeliever?) This is not to say that we are bound to commit sin in the future...

Col 2:11 (kjv), In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Col 2:11 (NLT), When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a...

Since I came across this scripture in my reading today I may as well quote it, Gal 4:4, But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Gal 4:21, Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? Gal 4:22, For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. Gal 4:23, But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Gal...
