You’re probably the only person besides Christ that has made it 2 years without sinning one time.

I’m having a hard time finding anything you said in your post that remotely resembles what’s written in Galatians 2:21. Where do I find or infer “Paul is talking about the connection to God here”? What am I missing? Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the...

I gotta ask, do you think you have stopped sinning?

What’s your take on this verse. It seems to say the opposite of what you’re saying. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Verse 10 overrides 8 and 9?

So you're saying Christ's righteousness is worthless to us since it's never imputed to us, and judgment is by works alone, it does nothing for our standing before God?

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. In the verses that define how one is saved, I don’t see works as a requirement for salvation. In fact verse 9 says it’s “not of works”...

Yes and those are free gift given to us, we don’t, and in fact can’t, work to get them.

A couple of things on that. First, Abraham was already counted as righteous by faith (Gen 15:6) roughly 30-40 years before he offered Isaac (Gen 22) - decades before the works you're pointing to. So whatever "justified" means in James, it can't mean the works added to or produced his...

Yeah, I agree with that but I couldn't tell if you're saying you believe in Christ's righteousness and your own works, together, for salvation.

So in your view it’s Christ plus your works that gets you into heaven?

I want to make sure I understand you. Are you saying those under the law of liberty are subject to a lesser judgment than those under the law?

I don’t want to interrupt your conversation but I do want to throw this in. The only Israelis that were blinded were those Israelis that called for the murder of Jesus. How do we know that? Because the Bible said that blindness would happen until the fulness of the gentiles be come in. I know...

It s very easy to stop. 2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. It’s easy but very unlikely to happen.

Question. Are you getting into heaven based on your works or the righteousness of Christ imputed to you?

“Not expedient” is not the same thing as “all things are lawful” and Paul did point that out. What we need to understand is why all things are lawful for Paul and for all believers. A believer can commit a sin (we all do) and still not be held accountable (eternally) because all things are...

I agree that if I they accept Christ they will be grafted back in. The point I was making is that Paul is making clear that 1) the kingdom was taken from Israel, they are no long in charge of the oracles of God and the other things God had given them charge over. And 2), Paul is making it clear...

It’s even spelled out in Exodus. Exo 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And the interesting about that is the people that was directed at were Jews and non-Jews.

A bit at a time is the way to go. So before we move to other verses we have have to figure out out what “all things are lawful to me” means. So it can me a exactly what it says ALL things are lawful or it can mean that Paul really didn’t mean what he said. For example what he really meant was...

The biggest threat to this country right now isn’t Islam, it’s the merger of Israel and the US military. You saw/see the Genocide in Palestine and Lebanon, well Israel is about to do the same thing to us. Trump has pretty much completed setting up the same Palintir AI track, trace and kill...
