The error of SO MANY...is that they think they can improve themselves into putting on Christ. Jesus is the author and finisher of faith. He is NOT the Author and we finish the job gradually. We have to go to Jesus to finish what He started. Paul rebuked the Galatians for trying to improve...

Shallow indeed. What do you make of this that Paul declares AFTER being liberated from the law at regeneration (in Romans 6) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Rom. 7:9 You are about to prove you have no idea what Paul is talking...

The work of God (not man) is to believe INTO Christ. No man can believe himself into Christ. That's the point of the verse. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe INTO him whom...

More lies. All translations have a human agenda. You are as slippery as a snake but have no wisdom. Instead of spreading falsehood upon falsehood...why don't you copy paste what I say...too honest?

Yes! Saul was the Old Man and Paul was now called to win Christ...the New Man. Yes. Right. The difference is that it requires a supernatural miracle to "put off" the Old Man and a new miracle to "put on" the New Man. How many are naked? Being clothed with NEITHER the Old Man or the New Man...

The cross is about reconciling people to a holy God....by atonement, not forgiveness. Forgiveness means there is no available power to walk above sin. Those who are in UNBELIEF want forgiveness NOT holiness. Holiness requires faith. False. I believe the words of the bible. What I don't trust...

Actually not exactly. The bible compares like with like. The Old Man is us BEFORE regeneration. Void of understanding of eternal things The NEW MAN is fashioned in the likeness of Christ. That is something we put on AFTER we are crucified to walk as Jesus walked. Most of us are in between these...

All insults NO content. No truth...therefore only attacks.

The bible doesn't speak of the outer man? I write this for any honest people out there. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 4 Then there is the reading comprehension, which you lack, and spiritual understanding...

A lie. I do both. All you can do is insult...no content...no truth...just insults and deviations. But can you engage the argument? False. You can read a Concordance can't you? It's in English. I challenge you to look up what I stated. Can you engage the argument and NOT insult? I'm reading...

As false as can be. Well the first part is correct. But the cross overcomes sin. The power of death applied to the part of us that sins....the outer man. Have you read my post #686...which no honest person can disregard in content....just dishonestly disregard in responding in an honest way...

Speaking of a lack of honesty...who wants to engage my post #686 ? Who cares for the meaning of words? :dusted:

You condemn this forum? It allows you to rant and rave...why can't that be seen as being flexible? :ummm:

The opposite is true. The cross is about freedom from sin into holiness...into fellowship with God...to walk as Jesus walked...according to the power of the gospel. All you are looking for is a continuing carte blanche to sin...a general amnesty for self-interested individuals. And that is what...

And that means there are still champions in he realm. ;) All is not completely lost. Darkness has not fully descended on the kingdom...and other such metaphors. The mob wants to rule by their own designs...and on most forums like this, the bullies chase off the meek...and the truth is...

Amen. It's funny how so much is riding on the weight of one word. If we get the word wrong we miss out on life. But when we get the word right... our hearts line up with God and open the heavens. All from the seeming foolishness of preaching. :)

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 debt is forgiven...

You are ranting like a spoiled child instead of being mature enough to prove your assertion. A discussion group doesn't include throwing tantrums when your favourite toy is taken away. If the class stopped shouting, I can PROVE that the gospel has been deviated away from the truth to serve the...

It is an unruly class that I try to speak to. :)

Amen, that's why I expose the darkness of it with the light of the truth. Amen again...the power of God to walk as Jesus walked without sin. In Him is no sin. Exactly....claiming to be justified and saved by choosing the nice sounding verses for themselves while ignoring the verses that can...
