As I've said previously, I don't disagree with your breakdown of the grammar, I only disagree with what you conclude, because you don't take the context into consideration, and you disbelieve the doctrine that God forgets righteousness.

Whether you interact further or not I am satisfied your position has been proven untenable.

1. Again, your conclusion is contraindicated in the context. 2. If God forgets your righteousness of faith, it retroactively never occurs.

I have never met anyone who takes things out of context more deeply than you do. You literally try to argue Heb 3 "For we have become partakers of Christ if we endure to the end" means "You can't fall away from the faith" when the entire surrounding CONTEXT ("make sure you don't fall...

The Holy Spirit is called Παράκλητος, and we are meant to obtain παρακλήσεως from the Scriptures so that we have hope. Would this mean that we should get from the Scriptures the same as we get from the Spirit? Like the two go together perfectly to give us hope? The Spirit inspired those...

I've quoted them, and I can quote them again--but I go on the assumption everyone knows the passages. 1 Corinthians 9 26Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached...

Nope, I already provided the alternative--the fact that your view is debunked is not my fault.

I just hope my NOSAS brothers are getting comfort or encouragement from the Scriptures. English Standard Version For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Berean Standard...

ESV Proverbs 11:22 Like a gold ring in a pig 's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion. The biggest part of us is what is going on between our ears--therefore, the most important thing we can do is TRUST GOD.

My real point was that the substance of NOSAS trust and comfort should be the same as OSAS : we've been with Him from the beginning, we are foreknown, predestined, Christ will lose none, no one can pry us out of God's hand.

The "filthy rags" and "fine linen" refer to different spiritual clothing.

1. Yes, "saved by grace not works" : the Jews' "salvation" from slavery by the blood of Passover lambs was a type of our salvation ("whoever sins is a slave of sin") by the blood of Christ our Passover Lamb. However, we know that the Jews, after having been saved, became reprobate through sin...

The chess board metaphor was just that--a metaphor for the discussion.

Here, he preaches to the Jewish Christians for the lions share of the epistle. Paul also includes the concept of the Day of Judgment in his "Gospel" (Ro 2:16). It's not a one-note thing "God raised Christ from the dead." It includes other aspects than that--and when it says "God's righteousness...

The works you say we should do, which I agree with, are performed by God in us, and we walk in them. I'm not talking about "imputation" in the sense "there, it's yours--it's been imputed, now live like the devil if you want because it's imputed"--obviously, I'm saying God's righteousness apart...

You deny the obvious verbatim statement that the one who sins is condemned. There is nothing I can do about that. You have it your way--and I have it my way.

1a. It wasn't a Covenant of "obedience"--as if it would be appropriate to contrast it against the New Covenant, making the New Covenant one of disobedience. Both Covenants are Covenants including aspects of "service to God", only having two different means (one is Law that relies on flesh Ro...

Oh, OK. For the reasons I outlined, and others, I can't agree.

Paul says that the words were written FOR OUR (CHRISTIANS') SAKE : your complaint was that I was going to OT realities to understand Christianity, yet Paul says it was written precisely FOR US, and he uses OT realities to understand Christianity, and to teach about Christianity. Your complaint...

In context, the "doubt" refers to breaking the Law of Faith "each man must be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5). My point was that Paul's argument in Romans was that men are not justified by their own righteousness by "works" but by God's righteousness by His "grace" through...
