In v.4, we find that the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. I have mentioned why to a certain extent in my commentary on the previous verse. We receive the love of God through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5); we receive...

Rom 8:1, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:3, For what the law could not do, in that it...

More accurately, because all men have sinned.

We do not have to cooperate with grace in order to obtain it. All we have to do is receive it by faith. The works come because we are thankful to the Lord over what He has done for us. Whoever has been forgiven much, also loves much (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5). And again, the...

There are those who carry the invalid interpretation that "works of the law" is not the same thing as "works". I contend that the works of the law are indeed works; and that works refers not only to works of the law but to anything that we might try to do in order to earn our salvation. There...

I have already explained adequately everything that I need to explain; and to continue debating with you would mean going in circles. You can believe if you want to that you will die for Adam's sin. For it is not an invalid interpretation of that passage. Personally I believe that the Bible...

Even according to Paul, others in the body of Christ who penned scripture were also originators of sound doctrine (while the Holy Spirit is the first originator of sound doctrine). 2Ti 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for...

The verse that I had mentioned was Romans 2:12. In interpretation of Romans 5:13-14. Romans 2:12, Romans 5:13-14. You appear to just want to find anything wrong with what I am saying (that is called nitpicking). I do not reject the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. I do not believe...

Good works are indeed meritorious...just not to the obtaining of entrance into heaven. We lay gold, silver, and precious gems on the foundation of Jesus Christ and this determines our rewards in heaven. If a person does not have any gold, sliver, or precious gems laid on that foundation when...

This is simply a lie; for all scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

@Stranger Deu 24:16, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. Here we have a principle that contradicts your pov. I wonder if you will catch it.

First of all, Jesus said you will in no wise enter the kingdom unless you become as little children. Secondly, I have explained Romans 5:13-14 by pointing to Romans 2:12. Scripture interprets scripture (1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)). I do not believe that anything I have said discredits Paul...

Righteousness is indeed imputed. It is also imparted: Mat 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 1Jo 3:7...

Just playing devil's advocate here (because I personally believe that there is only one gospel)... What do we make of the following scripture: Gal 2:7, But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter...

It is not that sanctification is necessary per se; but that if faith is genuine sanctification will necessarily follow. I don't know how to tell you this so that you will understand...but we cannot become righteous because of what we do. We become righteous by faith; and then we do what we do...

Those who put their faith in Jesus' blood are forgiven of much; and therefore will love much (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5). This love is the fulfilling of everything God requires. God reduces the commandments we are to follow to a singular commandment in two parts: 1Jo 3:23, And...

Because they sinned. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) whether it is imputed to you or not. Rom 2:12, For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; Indeed; in the practical sense: 1Jo 3:7, Little...

May I ask what Bible translation you were quoting Philippians 3:9 out of?

No; we are not sinlessly perfect the day we are saved: for sanctification is different from justification; and also there is no such thing as sinless perfection (except, perhaps, for when we get there): while there is such a thing as entire sanctification. Entire sanctification may be an...

Guess we'll have to wait until we get to heaven to find out. I believe he was in "Abraham's bosom" before he was born. Nope: he didn't pay them according to you. Am not! :p Nope. If I commit sin then I am a child of the devil (1 John 3:8). But if I am abiding in Christ then I sin not...
