Actually, I was mistaken, because I got this thread mixed up with my thread about "Eternal Life". lol

You are in God's way when you militate against His Word--eg, "they are no longer His children" Deuteronomy 32:5, "the one who sinned against Me I will blot out of My book" Exodus 32:33, Revelation 3:4-5.

Your fruit is you refuse to handle Scriptures I cited. What is that supposed to tell me?

This is my thread, so I can't "jump into" it. I'm simply asking you guys to deal with the Scriptures cited in the OP. Most of you can't--you're like vampires before sunlight.

It should be pointed out that it appears Romans 2:21-23 could also (along with "do not covet" Romans 3:19-20+Romans 7:7) be read ("work of the Law" Romans 2:14-15) as concluding some other "10 Commandments" moral laws (prohibitions against theft adultery and idolatry) under "works of the Law" as...

Actually, he did : he appends "for by the Law comes the knowledge of sin" to "for by works of Law" thus when he says "I would not have known sin unless the Law had said 'do not covet'" he's saying it's a work of the Law.

I actually didn't alter the passages at all. They just plainly state doctrine.

Clarification : Just wanted to show that Law pertains to the activity of flesh (as also in Galatians 3:1-5 and Romans 4:1-2) but Grace pertains to the activity of God's Spirit. Not saying the Spirit will perform a physical circumcision. LOL

Yeah it seems like one of the great distinctions is not the content of the work itself (for there is much overlap) but rather from whom the work issues--flesh or God. Romans 2:29 "not by the letter but by the Spirit" "circumcision made without hands".

Also the arguments in the reply which this reply of yours is supposed to address were not responded to.

The idea that hearts can't change to hearts of unbelief is unbiblical as we are warned that sin "hardens" which can turn the heart unbelieving Hebrews 3:12-13. The idea children can't "unbecome" children is not biblical either Deuteronomy 32:5.

Oops! He himself said "do no covet" was a work of the Law by which he came to know sin and you have no bases for rejecting that. Not sure what the issue is.

I provided Scripture. 'By works of Law no flesh is justified for by the law comes knowledge of sin... I would not have known what it was to covet except the Law said' do not covet'". I guess words mean nothing to you. That's interesting. lol

All right, so go to the Scriptures to become wise in the faith. See ya.

So yeah Paul disagrees and directs you to God's Word to find out what God says about His Son. Absolutely shocking and flabberghasting that that could be where God puts His Words to us--in His Word--yet, there we have it. I guess we just have to receive it as an article of faith since it makes no...

Irrelevant. I'm saying Scripture teaches the holy faith.

... and the faith is taught in Scripture which is why Paul had so many doctrines to teach us--he was the lawyer or scribe Jesus mentioned converting who brings forth from his treasury things both new and old. Scripture is where the New Testament faith came from.

Why are you confused by such a simple commandment? You've been brainwashed, that's why. You can't believe God. You believe someone else. "This persuasion does not come from Him Who calls".

Oh sorry I thought I was on a discussion forum and that I was discussing Christianity with Christians. My mistake. Carry on.
