Romans 3:10 is in reference to the concept that man cannot of himself be righteous, which are those without God; "no, not one".

I see, thanks Brother and God be blessed!

Hi Vet and God's blessings to you! I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

The word "broken" in Isaiah 24:5 is more related to the idea that an attempt has always been made of the wicked to overthrow and change the Everlasting Covenant; which cannot be broken between the Father and the Son, for this Covenant was made before the foundation of the world, when Jesus was...

Of the five covenants made between God and man (Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic), none were intended to procure fellowship with Him, but were used to prepare and lead men to the one covenant which would procure fellowship with Him, which is the Everlasting Covenant (Heb 13:20)...

I agree Josh, of what the Spirit has shown to others is what we should all desire. Not just for truth's sake but for bonding within "the Household of God". Good point and God's blessings to your Family!

________________________________________________________________ Where our dependence is, that’s where our faith rests. The proper placement of our faith brings independence and dependence: The Cross of Christ brings independence from the rule old the “old man” (Rom 6:12, 14); and the Spirit of...

Hi Arnie - Thanks for your reply and God's blessings to your Family! I understand your point and like your reasoning ability, but I believe it's important to know the purpose of the Mosaic Law, because not only is it part of Scripture, it's also instrumental (when understanding its...

Hi Rand - God's blessings to you and your Family! I agree and good reply. They were all coming from the Law, even Christ who grew up in it, but now that His ministry began, it was to secede it.

Hi Sogj - God's blessings to your Family! Thanks for your reply and I agree with you here. It reminds me of what I like to call "The Three Pillars of God" - Mercy, Justice and Grace: Mercy is not receiving what we deserve; Justice is receiving what we deserve; Grace is receiving what we do not...

{{By understanding I refer to the Spirit revealing understanding to us, not our own. We may think we understand certain truths but it may not be at the accuracy and depth at which it could be. Confirmation of a parallel-understanding with the Holy Spirit can be evaluated through hermeneutics...

-------------------------------------------------------------- What explains Scripture? It is the Spirit of God alone. His power can unfold any part of the Word of God. Do you ask if I mean to say that it is of no importance to know languages, understand history and so on? I am not raising a...

Hi Ax - Yes to all the above, but I believe all godly attributes are not in degrees. One is either pure, holy and righteous or not. The variances are within our appropriations of the godliness; as you indicated, how we live in them. Those in Christ cannot be more pure, holy and righteous...

This is the main point I try to make, that we have no personal-righteousness of our own, it's His righteousness we stand in. Man's obedience does not make him righteous; obedience confirms Christ within because one cannot be obedient without Him. "By the obedience of One shall many be made...

Hi Episkopos and God's blessing to your Family! The reason why all the modern translations render it "righteous requirements of the law" is because righteousness could never come by the Law: "For if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" (Gal 2:21). "But now the...

The proper rendering of Romans 8:4 is, "That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us" (Rom 8:4 - NKJ). There was only one requirement of the Law covenant, which was the same for the covenant God had with Adam and Eve; obedience or death. “The soul that sinneth, it shall...

A new nature is added along with the old nature and by the Spirit the regenerate lives by the new nature more than the old; "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would"...

"By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5). Generate; born. Regenerate; born again. Regeneration is a single occurrence by where the Father, through the Spirit, applies the death and life of His Son to an individual.

Romans 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law unto righteousness to everyone that believeth.” There has been much discussion of the meaning of the word "end" here. Let us see if Scripture does not clear up the matter for us. When Christ died, He bore for Israel the curse of the Law, for they...

The above title is in reference to what Paul termed in the preceding chapter as “the body of sin” (Rom 6:6), having all its “members” (Col 3:5) within the Adamic nature and is the cause of both physical and spiritual death, which originated from Adams disobedience in his covenant with God (Gen...
