    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    For until the law sin was in the world... It appears to me to be saying that the sin DNA was passed down from Adam to us. Sin was in the world....indwelling sin pervaded the lives of every human being. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses... It appears here to be saying that death...

    ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

    Jhn 6:35, And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Jhn 4:13, Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: Jhn 4:14, But whosoever drinketh of the water...

    ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

    If you are under grace, you are not under the law (Romans 6:14). This does not mean that you are no longer governed by the law but that you aren't condemned by it. Yes, that is what I mean, in light of everything that I have said in post #71 (ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS) I blame a...

    ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

    I understand that you have me on your Ignore list; but will respond anyway. Even within the Sermon on the Mount Jesus exalted the law to make it honourable (in Matthew 5:17-20). He said that if we break the least of these commandments (speaking of the OT law of which not one jot or tittle...

    ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

    The law no longer condemns us from the outside; however it does govern us from the inside (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16; Romans 5:5, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7). This is talking about the OT law, of which not one jot or tittle shall pass away...

    THE DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ALL THE APOSTLES ***

    1Co 1:11, For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1Co 1:12, Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1Co 1:13, Is Christ divided...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    Just saying that to me isn't going to prove anything. Show how it proves my belief wrong. Because I don't think that it does. Don't be lazy; put some effort into your answer. Because they sinned; and died for their own sins. Consider that God didn't impute their sins to them because there...

    Halloween Street Preaching

    Normally, a microphone and speakers will suffice in such a setting.

    Halloween Street Preaching

    I believe that the preachers in the video may have actually accomplished something for the kingdom of God. The fact that there were many adversaries indicates to me that that was an open door of evangelism (1 Corinthians 16:9).

    Halloween Street Preaching

    I think that people who are not "obnoxious in their faith" are not hated; and that therefore true Christians (the hated kind) are those who actually preach to others that which grates against the flesh of those who want to keep their sins. We are hated because of our message: if we simply...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    Which indicates that Peter's gospel was not different from Paul's; for if it had been he would have been accursed (Galatians 1:6-9). btw, both preached during the dispensation that occurred with the New Testament...so they were not preaching out of different dispensations.

    ROMANS 4:6 IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

    By faith we receive the Spirit (Galatians 3:14) by whom the love of the Lord is shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5). Through this love, we are able to keep some of those impossible commandments in the Sermon on the Mount; such as love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. If we...

    Halloween Street Preaching

    I think that my religious flesh shrinks back from such things as preaching to hostile crowds on Halloween.

    Halloween Street Preaching

    Luk 14:15, And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Luk 14:16, Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: Luk 14:17, And sent his servant at supper time to say to...

    Halloween Street Preaching

    That may be true of the Sermon on the Mount; but what about when He said to the Pharisees, "Ye are of your father the devil"? I think that in the latter case He was being confrontational. Now, granted, it can be said that Jesus had more of a beef with the religious people of His day (the...

    Halloween Street Preaching

    If you go to the streets, you are likely to get more opposition. Because the people are not specifically coming to you to hear a message from the word. They are more likely to feel like it is being shoved down their throats. But with the way our culture has been headed, I feel that a little...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    I believe that the sin DNA was transferred from Adam down to us; so that all men are sinners who sin; and that every man will die for his own sin. Deuteronomy 24:16 is clear on this. I have indeed explained it but you do not like the explanation that I have given. Every man dies for his own...

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    I believe your exact words were "he lived a life of obedience from start to finish."

    Why do so many oppose imputed righteousness?

    It was a half-truth. You also have yet to consider that the incest between Abraham and Sarah is an indictment on Abraham's righteousness; if it were indeed through his works that Abraham was counted to be righteous.
