    He did. He bore our sins on the cross. We could ONLY be sinful...until Jesus destroyed the power of sin in those who would join Him on His cross. Yes. His resurrection life quickens us into an eternal kind of life That's a very human logic and wrong. As soon as you make forgiveness the...

    I re-post this.. The cross is not about forgiveness..it is about freedom from the bondage of sin, so that God doesn't have to keep forgiving us. The Hebrew word for a release from debt is not the same word as for freedom. No, the release from debt is Shemitah. This is the sabbatical year where...

    Who wants to go on the record to say that without the cross God hated us...never forgave us and had wrathful intent for us? Who wants to state that Jesus had to die to make His Father love us and forgive us? Who is honest with following through with their religious scheme that insults God?

    The social gospel?

    Your religious outer man is freaking out in self-justification survival mode. And other deceived ones here will tell you...relax relax...just don't let the truth sink into the inner man. Be confident with religious certainties that your indoctrination doesn't come from the nether regions. Keep...

    You have to lie. Your condemnation is that you say I blaspheme...when I speak the truth...therefore you have stated your own verdict.

    The social gospel?

    Backwards. You can't have holiness while in the POWER of sin. Sin always separates us from God. So grace is given to us to stop sinning. God doesn't change the nature of sin for certain people. Sin is sin. Grace is God's power over sin given to those who believe. The power of sin is defeated...

    The social gospel?

    It is a very clever ploy to get Jesus to die.... for God to do what He always did...forgive people...be merciful. And by doing this to deny what Jesus really died to do...make people holy. God has always been merciful and forgiving. God forgives people so many times...uncountable. He gives...

    OK Teacher is back....and there's a lot of silly things written on the blackboard. Ok class. Let's get a few things straight. Many of you are flunking out of truth 101. So let's go over things again. The cross is not about forgiveness. Why? God has always been merciful...and He still is. :) A...

    More obfuscation...rinse and repeat. I ask those who read this thread to note that @Behold has no understanding at all of the doctrine he claims to know about. An utter waste of words...all obfuscation and no truth. If one wants to teach what Paul speaks of in Romans one must be able to answer...

    The social gospel?

    You are missing the point. They asked Jesus what THEY COULD DO to do the works of God. Jesus corrected them...as I'm correcting you... It is the work of God that you can believe INTO Jesus. No man can assume or name and claim it as so many do here. You assume that because you believe ABOUT...

    The social gospel?

    That's a political ploy. You never answered at all. Your same lack of understanding permeates all the futility you try teaching. So...why does Paul say...sin revived and I died? Try a few words. Let people see what you are really doing here.

    The social gospel?

    more obfuscation. Admit you don't understand. Paul said...sin revived and I died. Why does he say that? You will try various political obfuscations to cover up your ignorance of Pauline doctrine. More dishonesty.

    The social gospel?

    The heresy is to be lawless and teach lawlessness. Why does Paul say...sin revived and I died?
  14. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    More obfuscation. Just admit you don't understand Pauline doctrine. Be honest for once! So...how can Paul say..."sin revived and I died". Only those who actually understand doctrine can respond without obfuscation.

    The social gospel?

    A woman is bound to the law as long as her husband lives. Her husband dies...now she is free to be married to another. The word here is free. But will the woman take on a good husband...Christ..or play the harlot with every passerby like it says in Ezekiel? If the woman tries to move...

    The social gospel?

    But Paul's testimony is not that there is no law, but that there is a law and sin revived in him and he "died". Look it up. What does that mean he "died" But you are on the right track at the end...the wages of sin is death...whether one is freed from the law or not. A law doesn't change...

    The social gospel?

    No...that doesn't describe why Paul uses the word "die" at all. You are deviating again. How can sin revive so that he dies??? A simple explanation will suffice. No insults will suffice either.

    The social gospel?

    When we seek Him with all our heart, not relying on our own understanding.

    The social gospel?

    I rest my case. All twaddle...no reference at all to "sin revived and I died". Face it...you have no understanding of "Pauline" doctrine. But those who you condescendingly call "readers" can judge that lack for themselves. That's the beauty of the forum. :) Deviation from the truth is not...

    The social gospel?

    Is this about a works religion of human effort? Or about the need to seek God for His visitation and empowering?
