Paul's reference to the letter of the law was in regards to the Old Covenant, not the New. Don't you know that? What is grace?

You still have not defined "grace" and you are still flinging ridiculous untrue accusations. Stop it. At 62, you should act like an adult

E walks in the Spirit like I do. Not the letter of the old laws, like keeping one day a week holy, rather than the Spirit of the Sabbath that is Jesus abiding in us 24/7/365 cc: @Episkopos

Sorry, but Paul made it clear so people wouldn't come to your conclusion. The wages of sin is still death. What we are is FREE FROM SIN, not the penalty for sin, or to sin, but God doesn't see it and condemn you.

True. So you act like the world? Remember Romans 3:31.

How do we act when we have His righteousness?

I agree. We are on the same page on that. That is why we are not in the Old Covenant, because that was how it was. But we are in the New Covenant. What is that like to you?

The give me a scripture that describes grace if you don't know how to define it.

I think we may have a difference in definition. You've also gone back to accusations. :( How does the grace of God work in us? What is the grace of God?

Not in the slightest. Obeying your conscience where the moral laws are written is the New Covenant. Not the Old. The reason why the Old Covenant didn't make the Jews righteous was because they had to keep them in opposition to their nature. They still had sin in their nature. Romans 7:17 But...

The reason why 1 John 3:9 is true of a born again believer and cannot sin, is the same for Jesus. We were born again with the seed of the Father, and Jesus was conceived with the seed of the Father. That is how we are many brethren and can do and be as Jesus was on earth.

Thank you. We are back to being civil. Yay! :) Justification is being cleansed of all our PAST sins 2 Peter 1:9. At that time we have already repented and received the Holy Spirit that empowers us to not willfully sin. There is no such scripture to support justification or sanctification as...

If there was an error, it was not putting " marks around the word Christian. Lets put it this way. There are many fake Christians who are not true Christians. Understand now? A true Christian has been born again of the Spirit.

The substance of post number one, is that we are not Christians because we SAY we are, but keep sinning. We are when Jesus has taken away our sin nature and we don't commit any willful sin. That is why we must obey our conscience which is the same as what was born again in us - our spirit and...

What did you find to be contradictory. I read what I wrote and there was no contradiction, unless you made one in your mind. So what is it you are thinking?

I stand on that, because it is written. When we are born again it is because we have repented unto Jesus. Acts 2:38 says we then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. At that point we receive the authorities in Mark 16:16-18, which includes speaking in tongues TO God (without interpretation being...

They cannot. That is why Jesus said we MUST be born again. That means we are born of God. Does God sin? So do we?

We are not in the Old Covenant where they had to memorize 613 commandments and keep them perfectly, because as James points out, if they broke one they broke them all. Tell me how the New Covenant is different. It is not the difference between Granny Smith apples and Delicious apples. It is...

You just answered correctly, but I'm not the one ignorant of the scriptures. The 120 were born again of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. They weren't baptized with the Spirit until chapter four.

I just did. Evidently, you didn't like the answer. Read 1 John 3:21-24. I answer with scripture to stand on. So ask another question of what you really want to know.
