Oh OK. I don't have that issue bc I don't believe in faith alone, but both faith in Christ and walking in faith.

Would you please explain it?

1. Jesus calls "vows", permitted by Torah, "of the evil one" (Mt 5), and "any cause" divorce, permitted in Torah, "adultery", so your issue is with Him. 2. Gentile Christians are deemed "doers of the Law" because the Spirit writes God's Law on their hearts, so, no, they're not...

@mailmandan I hope, even though you disagree (based on your "frown" reactions), you can see that I'm just trying to follow Scripture. I have to believe what I read.

What it seems you're not appreciating is justification by faith is not arbitrary, it's based on righteousness, specifically "righteousness of faith", "God's righteousness revealed from faith to faith"--a righteousness which is by abiding in Christ by obeying the twofold Law of Faith (1. Believe...

The, text neve says "outwardly corporately in, Covenant", it simply says you're included with God's people by faith, and you're excluded from God's people by unbelief. Simple. The Gentiles who believed are warned that there is no partiality: the same rule that the Jews were cut off for breaking...

Yes, because God works in believers for His good pleasure, you are to obey that working (Php 2:12, 13), and we know He writes His law on hearts of partakers of the New Covenant (Jer 33:31-34; Ro 2:14), so we know that by obeying that working, people qualify as "doers of the Law" who will...

Galatians 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the Law...

Justification is by the righteousness of faith--and we're to not only live by the Spirit but also walk by the Spirit, as Paul says--and God's assessment of us is ongoing, as Romans 14 says the Christian who doesn't walk by faith is condemned not justified. See how that interlocks with James 2...

At the outset, I want to remind everyone that your view was unknown, it is foreign to, historic Christianity. The early Church did not hold to it. It is a recent innovation, and that is why it runs in to problems with every Scripture. Now, deliverance from slavery in Egypt by the blood lambs is...

Yes, Jesus was under Law, and didn't exist in the New Creation, we are not under Law and are in the New Creation.

Jesus didn't exist on it New Creation. Plus He was under Law. We are not.

Already answered this.

If by "word games" you mean, "You actually take what I say seriously," yeah, reading your words and taking you at your word is a "word game". When you change your words, it's confusing. So, OK, you agree with 1 John 3:23,24, you just don't agree with what you think my understanding of it is...

Oops, you said I was stuck on 1 John 3:23,24, then, afterward, you said I'm not stuck on Scripture. You can't seem to keep your words straight.

I can't be asked to continually repost your words. Rather, why did you change your words?

So, you're saying you agree with those words, but you don't agree with how I'm interpreting them?

To clarify, one example of abiding in Christ by obeying His commands would be when the Galatians received the Spirit after they heard the Gospel and believed it (Gal 3:1-3)--one of the commands is to "believe in the Name of God's Son". The issue is you deny the second part of that command, "love...

Well, I don't know why you're saying you don't know why I'm saying you're going back on your words--I literally quoted your words to you. Here, let me remind you again. I said... You responded So, yes, you affirmed the words, but, now, you're repudiating the words, and you're even denying...

So, you're going back on your words you formerly spoke You do not agree with God's Word, which explicitly states abiding in Christ is by obeying His Commands (believe in the Name of God's Son and love one another) and then you receive the Spirit. 1 John 3 23This is His commandment, that we...
