'Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: ...' (Roman 3:19a) Hello @justbyfaith, That is not what Romans 3:19 says. Both Jew and Gentile are proved to be equally guilty before God, by the argument Paul has made in the previous chapters. So...

Hello @justbyfaith, You ask me if I agree that Romans 3:10-18 refers also to the Gentile? **This is a quotation taken from several parts of the Old Testament, which in itself indicates to which People this was directed. All refer to the same subject, which is the power and righteousness of God...

Hi Nancy, You ask me to compare Matthew 12:31 & 1 John 5:16-17. Yes, I agree that these are difficult passages. 'Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.' (Mat 12:31 & Luke...

'But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted (ie., imputed) for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are...

'Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight : for by the law is the knowledge of sin.'...

'Not every one that saith unto me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, " Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done...

* Hello @CharismaticLady, I have quoted your post, including the verses referenced in order to make reply, with the word of God quoted before my eyes for reference. I don't want to argue with what you have said, but I do want to look at the verses you have referenced in order to see why you...

'Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; .. death hath no more dominion over Him. .... For in that He died, He died unto sin once: ...... but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, .. but alive unto God...

Hello @CharismaticLady, Would you please explain why you say, (quote) ' ... and are cleansed by our Advocate when we forgive others their trespasses against us.' Am I right in thinking that you believe that we are only 'cleansed' when we ourselves forgive others ? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @CharismaticLady I have had my coffee, so I am ready to go. What I did say was that Romans 7 was illustrative of the conflict between the two natures within the Child of God. Flesh in conflict with spirit. Romans 8:2, refers to the law of the spirit of life and the law of sin and death...

Hello @Ferris Bueller, Thank you for responding. I believe that the obedience of faith is believing what God has said concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, not only in regard to salvation ie., forgiveness of sins, justification, sanctification and redemption, but also about our...

'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 ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.' (John 6:28) 'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked...

Hello again, @CharismaticLady, It is on the basis of the imputation of righteousness that it can be said of the believer in Ephesians chapter one:- 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According...

(James 2:19-26) (Romans 4:6-12) (Romans 4:13-25) Hello @CharismaticLady, Your response appears to indicate that your understanding of the word, 'imputed', differs from my own. I believe that the word, 'imputed', means to reckon, or attribute to. God imputed, or reckoned Abraham to be...

Hello @CharismaticLady, The nature we were born with is referred to by different names in Scripture, as you will know. a) The Flesh - (John 3:6, Romans 8:8) b) The Natural Man - (1 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 2:10) c) The Old Man - (Ephesians 4:22) d) The Outward Man - (2 Corinthians 4:16)...

Hello @CharismaticLady, You have taken issue with the word, 'imputed', yet it is a word used in Scripture isn't it? So, it is the manner in which it is used by others which you take issue with isn't it? You feel that it is abused maybe, yes? So how is it used in Scripture? (James 2:19-26)...

Hello again, @CharismaticLady, The pitch on the inside and outside of the ark, protected those within the ark from the waters of judgement surrounding them. The work of the atonement, does the same. The blood shed by the Lord Jesus Christ on our behalf enables God to forgive us our sins and...

'Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.' (Gen 6:14) Hello CharismaticLady, I came here out of curiosity to know what you had written in this thread today, as indicated on the home page. However, when here, my...

'I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,' (Ephesians 4:1) Hello again, The calling of Ephesians 4:1 denotes a VOCATION: and is something that those so called are beseeched by Paul to walk worthy of. In other words what...
