Nope! LOL You need to read the Greek. "Under" there means "under the jurisdiction of". Being "under Grace" means Grace authoritatively informs your service to God, just as the Law previously was ostensibly the method of service. "Under grace" means you are under its authority. Clearly He didn't...

And he said he was dead to the Law, not under the Law,and taught others the same. What he means is "there is a new way to serve God in righteousness" not "go sin". Grace makes you able to keep the righteous requirement of God's Law.

Yes, "the life is in the Son". And? Are you just going to throw everything else in Scripture away now that you found a verse you like?

No, it is yourself who has misunderstood : "the doer of the Law will be justified" Romans 2:13. Same as Galatians 6:6-10. Same as James 2. As far as the verse you cited, the men asked how they could work the worjs of God, and the answer is correct : those who believe in Christ will do the same...

Including Jewish Christians explicitly. Read Romans 7:1-6.

I put him on ignore a while back. No sense wasting my energy quoting Scripture to an intellectually dishonest person. Same goes for "Taken". Completely gone mentally.

I agree that "If you believe you can't be lost it's a license to sin" is a bad argument against The idiocy of Monergism.

"Ehhh! Sorry, Hans, wrong guess!" Eternal life is in the Son--those who retain the Son retain the life, those who fall away lose the life.

LOL You mean people who believe Scriptural warning passages? Sure.

1) Oops! The REASON for their unbelief was their sinfulness--they were consistently going in a direction contrary to God so when God spoke they didn't want to hear it and HARDENED THEIR HEARTS. Again, these are people who had already been "saved by the blood of the Lamb". 2) It's not one or the...

I already cited Hebrews 3 which says the heart can "become hardened" by the deceitfulness of sin--and the very next verse says the warning is addressed to people who have begun to partake of Christ. The "wayside" is hard ground that cannot receive the seed, so it sits on top and the birds come...

LOL! I can imagine the Aussie accent in these words!

So, Paul was "lawless"?

Also, impossible to ignore, Paul is BOTH "not under Law" AND "within Messiah's Law" 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, so, no, the Law of Messiah cannot be the Law of Moses.

1. You don't understand what "not under Law" means. If people don't live righteously they cannot claim to be "under Grace". Paul was "dead to Law" and taught believers the same Romans 7:1-6. Your argument is with him, not me. If you want to enliven yourself to the Law you will die to God. Simple...

In the context of this conversation, what you've said here sounds like a false dichotomy : we are BOTH "not under Law" AND "fulfill the righteous requirement of the Law" BECAUSE we are "under Grace [God writes His Laws on our hearts]".

Jesus Himself denounced the Torah, because its standards weren't high enough. Matthew 5:33-48 33“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by...

So, you disagree with Paul who says Christians are "not under Law"? I think you are misunderstanding what "under" means or what "Law" means, but you're misunderstanding something. If you say "not under Law" means "not condemned by the Law", then what does "under Grace" mean? Condemned by...

Nope, they're "not under Law" with respect to "service to God".
