See Revelation 19:8. This is to be interpreted by Philippians 3:9. The righteousness of faith is fine linen; the righteousness that comes by the works of the law is filthy rags. Context never nullifies the plain meaning of any single verse of scripture. Likewise, Revelation 19:8 (the...

Mat 5:17, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Mat 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Mat 5:19, Whosoever therefore shall...

To be clear, I am not against water baptism. I will only say that water baptism is something that is only valid when there is faith in the operation of God.

Rom 4:5, But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4:6, Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, If this passage does not say that we are saved...

He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.

Again, see Romans 5:5; Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14; Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16. And I will add from John: 1 John 5:3 and 2 John 1:6. But the first four scriptures (after the first one) being definitely from Paul, the second two being very possibly from him, and...

Actually, there is much harm done if people believe your words, because you are wrong.... If anyone trusts in their works to save them (whether they believe they receive salvation by works initially or whether they think that they are maintaining their salvation by their works), they are...

No argument there. However, I would say to you that it is not the obedience that saves. If we are not obedient, then we are deceiving ourselves to think that we are saved by faith. But from a theological/doctrinal perspective, salvation is not of works. Period. Ephesians 2:9 and context...

Actually, see Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16. Paul taught us that the law will be obeyed by us (the spirit of it, not the letter...see Romans 7:6)...that it will be written on the hearts and minds of new Covenant believers. It needs to be...

When Paul says that there is no law against the fruit of the Spirit, he is saying that if we consistently bear the fruit of the Spirit, there is no law that will condemn our behaviour. Iow, if we bear the fruit of the Spirit, we will be law-abiding citizens of the kingdom. This is because of...

It only need be mentioned once for it to be a reality. Also, there is an obedience to the law that is according to the spirit of the law and not according to the letter, spoken of in Romans 7:6, Romans 2:29, and 2 Corinthians 3:6. Could this not be the extension of what is mentioned in Romans...

@CNKW3, I suppose that you have not been studying the scriptures long enough to discover the reality of scripture that salvation is not of works. That is fine. I pray that you keep studying until you find the answer. I would set before you some scriptures in particular, that proclaim the...

The point being, that you said that there is no such thing as the law of the Spirit of life...and scripture bears witness to the fact that there is such a thing.

The Bible says that Jesus said that belief is THE work of God. John 6:28-29. Chapter and verse?

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 3:27, Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

She is one voice of many that can contribute intelligently to the conversation.

That obedience to the gospel is summed up in the act of believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Since I was circumcised the eighth day, I will consider that James is inspired and written to me. I have to say that I think you're missing out on a veritable treasure in the book of James. It is a mighty blessing to me. And I think also that you could miss out on salvation itself in that you...

Mainly, because I love bacon...:eek::D:cool:....I am a weak soul. I believe that Romans 7:6 tells us how we are to interpret the OT law. We are to obey the spirit of the law rather than be bound to the letter. See also Romans 2:29, 2 Corinthians 3:6.

Indeed, Amen. Hebrews 6:1.
