Reading the Bible. No human being can understand the Bible, it takes God's intervention. The things the Bible says are irreconcilable. Without prayer it won't make sense.

The Scriptures are NOT clear, though. The Scriptures are impossible to reconcile with one another. The problem comes when people try to make sense of them without prayer and they make a mess. When you pray God may decide to help you understand.

Hopefully, God will bring clarity to some through God clarifying His truth for edification of the hearers.

The crazy thing is that people who know God will reject, outright, obvious truth--truth has many surfaces, contours, so they go with certain contours that are useful, and dismiss anything that threatens to take that provision they obtain, through confessing those particular truth contours, away...

Yeah, I studied and begged God for clarity on the issue for years. It only took so long because I wouldn't stop boasting, which leads to God hiding truth. I think Scripture says women can teach other women how to submit to their husbands, but that's different than teaching Scripture, of course...

@Wynona One "righteousness" comes from knowing God, and reveals God, the other comes from someone disconnected from God, and reveals their own self, leading to boasting.

I had to understand why Scripture said we couldn't be justified by works of Law (Ro 3) yet only doers of the Law would be justified (Ro 2)--the issue is WHOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOT whether there must be righteousness for justification on the Day of judgment. Walking by faith is God's righteousness...

Ro 7 was Paul prior to Christ. "You will not be mastered by Sin because you are not under Law but under Grace"--Ro 7 shows sin mastering the Jew under Law prior to faith in Christ, bc "the Law is the strength of sin" (1 Co 15).

You didn't read before responding (Proverbs 18:13) : I merely defined being under Grace as walking in faith, by which the Law is fulfilled (Ro 3:31, 8:4), and nowhere told anyone they are to serve by Law, or be "under Law" (actually, I reject that idea). For you, EITHER Romans 4 ("God justifies...

For those who interpret Romans 7 as an accurate depiction of a Christian's life, do you also interpret 1 John 3:9 as teaching "Christian's cannot sin"?

Lol "Symbolic": "Jesus, we know you're lying. We shouldn't take you at your word. You're saying symbolic stuff. Just stop talking. We know you're not being serious, you're just playing. Sure, the Church believed you were serious until a few hundred years ago, but that was a cult, and the new...

People who deny sins can be unforgiven are the liars.

If God saves us by Jesus making payment for our sins so that God can forgive us... Leviticus 4 20So the priest shall make atonement for them, and [only then] they will be forgiven. ...then God rescinding His forgiveness means the loss of salvation, because it means we would have to pay for our...

LOL Right, so "Jesus is a liar--you can never be unforgiven of your sins that had been forgiven, never can a child of God unbecome a child of God." Deuteronomy 14:1 "you are children of the LORD", 32:5 "they are no longer His children", Hosea 1 "'No Mercy'", "'Not My People'", "Where it had...

You denied the believer who sinned by not forgiving would end up having their sins "unforgiven" so they would end up having to pay for their sins--thus, you called Jesus "liar".

It occurred to me this is like another doctrine: sin is also lawlessness. 1 Jn 3:4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness... Not all breaking of the Law is a result of sinful desire (eg, the Priests break the Law serving in the Temple on the Sabbath), but all...

We all know how Romans 7 goes--Paul describes getting whooped by sin. Does it describe Paul's Christian life, or the life he lived before salvation? Romans 7 1Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the [a]Law), that the Law has jurisdiction over a person...

LOL You literally just admitted, several times, that Christians don't always walk after the spirit. You even tried to say Romans 7, wherein an unsaved Jew is being mastered by sin, because he's under the Law, not under Grace ("sin will not master you because you're not under Law" Ro 6:14), was...

He doesn't believe your half baked ignorance, guy, he knows what Scripture says.

Lol you got whooped. Glad I don't have to keep answering your same empty questions over and over.
