"Conflict of interest" destroys the very foundation of science they trust in instead of God and God's morality--yet, without morality, which they don't have when they reject Christ, they're left with nothing.

It's both: as you say, we really are a new creation, and the old really has gone, and yet we are to lay aside the old self and put the new self on. Ephesians 4 20But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus...

Shame, fear, and fleeing and hiding (Pr 28:1; Heb 10:38,39; 1 Jn 2:28, 3:23,24, 5:21; Rv 3:17, 16:15). Genesis 3 7And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves. 8Then the man and his wife heard...

One thought on 7th Day Sabbath: that was a commemoration of the rest God took after creating the old creation, so, if God does another act of creating, then He would have a new rest, and there would be a new commemoration of the new rest from the new act of creating. Well, we are a new...

The "one law" all God's people are bound to (Ro 14:5) is "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind"; paradoxically, this results in varied expressions of "the obedience of faith" (Ro 1:15), as shown in Romans 14: 1) "14I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is...

We're not under Law, but by being under Grace (Ro 6:14), the "righteous requirement" of the Law is fulfilled in us by God (Ro 8:4), and so we fulfill "the entire law" (Ro 2:6-16, 26, 27, 3:31, 13:8-10). The Law isn't even God's exact will, because it contains concessions for wicked/hard hearted...

Prove I'm wrong. Address the Scriptural points I've made. I only note, as an aside, that historical Christianity has agreed with me. Is that actually a negative? Yes, I follow men: Peter, John, Paul and their disciples. Oh no!

Nope, it's both: "obey, for it is God at work" Php 2:12,13

Let me know when you're ready to prove that Romans 2:6-16 doesn't teach that eternal life will be only be repaid doers of good at the coming judgment.

Nope, that's not what it means to be under Law. Being under Law means to read and serve God by the Law of Moses. The difference between what I am saying and being under Law is that I am saying God works in you and you are to walk by that working.

Me: Scripture says it, I believe it--all of it. You: Nonsense. Exactly.

What I try to "get" is what Scripture says--exactly what I've shared with you--and you're saying "No, I believe something else." I mean, yes, people can know God without having perfect theology--I think you can be Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Monergistic, Synergistic, and know...

OK the readers will have to decide who they believe has been more faithful to what is written.

This is why I say you don't believe ALL of Scripture, just snippets of it, whereas I believe it all (or try to). You cite one verse in order to negate another verse, but I'm saying it's all true, and seek to understand how it all "harmonizes".

So, you have no answer for the Scriptures I've cited?

Explain how the passage doesn't teach that only those who do good will be repaid eternal life at the coming judgment.

Explain how the idolater still has eternal life but no inheritance in God's Kingdom. Lol

Already explained 1 Jn 3:23,24 says 1) believe on the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another. If you want to denigrate that as "works", that's fine, but, again, your view has no way of reconciling Ro 8:1 with Ro 14:23, or accounting for the fact that Paul (in 1 Th 4:8) warns the immoral God...

Neither addresses the issue in context, you merely rely on another verse in order to discount what Ro 2 teaches. Show me from the context that what I'm saying is a misunderstanding.

Yup, and we're told to "remain in Him" (some don't (1 Jn 2:28))--the life is "in His Son" (1 Jn 5:11), so those who don't remain don't retain the life, and we remain in Him by obeying the command 1) believe in the Name of God's Son and 2) love one another (1 Jn 3:23, 24).
