    The social gospel?

    More obfuscation...rinse and repeat. I ask those who read this thread to note that @Behold has no understanding at all of the doctrine he claims to know about. An utter waste of words...all obfuscation and no truth. If one wants to teach what Paul speaks of in Romans one must be able to answer...

    The social gospel?

    You are missing the point. They asked Jesus what THEY COULD DO to do the works of God. Jesus corrected them...as I'm correcting you... It is the work of God that you can believe INTO Jesus. No man can assume or name and claim it as so many do here. You assume that because you believe ABOUT...

    The social gospel?

    That's a political ploy. You never answered at all. Your same lack of understanding permeates all the futility you try teaching. So...why does Paul say...sin revived and I died? Try a few words. Let people see what you are really doing here.

    The social gospel?

    more obfuscation. Admit you don't understand. Paul said...sin revived and I died. Why does he say that? You will try various political obfuscations to cover up your ignorance of Pauline doctrine. More dishonesty.

    The heresy is to be lawless and teach lawlessness. Why does Paul say...sin revived and I died?

    The social gospel?

    More obfuscation. Just admit you don't understand Pauline doctrine. Be honest for once! So...how can Paul say..."sin revived and I died". Only those who actually understand doctrine can respond without obfuscation.

    The social gospel?

    A woman is bound to the law as long as her husband lives. Her husband dies...now she is free to be married to another. The word here is free. But will the woman take on a good husband...Christ..or play the harlot with every passerby like it says in Ezekiel? If the woman tries to move...

    The social gospel?

    But Paul's testimony is not that there is no law, but that there is a law and sin revived in him and he "died". Look it up. What does that mean he "died" But you are on the right track at the end...the wages of sin is death...whether one is freed from the law or not. A law doesn't change...

    The social gospel?

    No...that doesn't describe why Paul uses the word "die" at all. You are deviating again. How can sin revive so that he dies??? A simple explanation will suffice. No insults will suffice either.

    The social gospel?

    When we seek Him with all our heart, not relying on our own understanding.

    The social gospel?

    I rest my case. All twaddle...no reference at all to "sin revived and I died". Face it...you have no understanding of "Pauline" doctrine. But those who you condescendingly call "readers" can judge that lack for themselves. That's the beauty of the forum. :) Deviation from the truth is not...

    The social gospel?

    Is this about a works religion of human effort? Or about the need to seek God for His visitation and empowering?
  13. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    The error of SO MANY...is that they think they can improve themselves into putting on Christ. Jesus is the author and finisher of faith. He is NOT the Author and we finish the job gradually. We have to go to Jesus to finish what He started. Paul rebuked the Galatians for trying to improve...

    The social gospel?

    Shallow indeed. What do you make of this that Paul declares AFTER being liberated from the law at regeneration (in Romans 6) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Rom. 7:9 You are about to prove you have no idea what Paul is talking...

    The social gospel?

    The work of God (not man) is to believe INTO Christ. No man can believe himself into Christ. That's the point of the verse. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe INTO him whom...

    More lies. All translations have a human agenda. You are as slippery as a snake but have no wisdom. Instead of spreading falsehood upon falsehood...why don't you copy paste what I say...too honest?

    The social gospel?

    Yes! Saul was the Old Man and Paul was now called to win Christ...the New Man. Yes. Right. The difference is that it requires a supernatural miracle to "put off" the Old Man and a new miracle to "put on" the New Man. How many are naked? Being clothed with NEITHER the Old Man or the New Man...

    The social gospel?

    The cross is about reconciling people to a holy God....by atonement, not forgiveness. Forgiveness means there is no available power to walk above sin. Those who are in UNBELIEF want forgiveness NOT holiness. Holiness requires faith. False. I believe the words of the bible. What I don't trust...

    The social gospel?

    Actually not exactly. The bible compares like with like. The Old Man is us BEFORE regeneration. Void of understanding of eternal things The NEW MAN is fashioned in the likeness of Christ. That is something we put on AFTER we are crucified to walk as Jesus walked. Most of us are in between these...
