You forgot the beginning... Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his...

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Is the righteousness of God shown in us by a continuing propensity to sin? Or is it shown by a man who has ceased from his...

Are you justifying yourself according to your belief?

You have invented a schizoid belief that separates what one does from what one believes. We overcome through faith in the One who is doing the perfect obedience through us by grace!

Very good! It amazes me that anyone who has even the smallest reasoning power would deny this.

Do you mean you read nooks on the subject..or that you where filled with the Spirit and it's not all it's cracked up to be?

You are calling evil good and good evil....you are stacking sin on other sins? Why is that necessary?

What we can't do in our own strength we are made very capable of through His grace. Or do you think that Christ in us is less powerful than sin???? Those who abide in Christ cannot sin!!!

I think the OP is looking at justifying the brand of lawless grace that abounds far more... 2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 2Pe 2:20 For if after they have escaped...

1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the...

You are speaking of more than one thing here... A Sabbath keeper is a person who indeed seeks justification by the law. But any Christian who doesn't keep the whole law...even in his thinking...is not a follower of Christ. Jesus made the law HARDER not easier. This is to make it less...

Who does this today? Paul was talking about the influence of the Jews at the time to try making Gentile Christians into Jews. So just who do you see trying to justify themselves through the deeds of the law?

A person who obeys God is not trying to justify himself....his duty is to obey God. Any scheme of men that seeks to justify themselves whether by act or by belief is wrong.

I'm using your own interpretation back onto you. You don't see the works of the law as Judaism...but that is what Paul is talking about. You see works of the law as obedience to the law you feel is not required?

You may be confusing the words of the law with the works of faith. The written code, as you call it, is what you are basing a bad understanding of grace on. So you yourself are also trying to justify yourself because of a written code. But the work of God is that we walk like Jesus and do no sin.

Agreed! We are to walk in actual fellowship with God in the light. We can walk as Jesus walked by the grace of God which is the power of Christ in us.

Grace is misunderstood by those seeking to benefit from it personally. Grace is actually the power God gives us to live as Jesus did. 2Co_12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my...

And blindness is a lack of sight in any light! That depends how you see being faithful. People do a lot of things supposedly FOR God...but we as Christians are to do things IN God.

Aren't you going off again and eliminating the main part? Jesus says...I never knew you...to people who think they are doing Him a service. I would think then getting to know God more deeply is the whole point.

It's called turning over in your grave!!! ;)
