So far, unless I missed it, I don't know what you believe Paul taught that was contrary to what Jesus taught. What in Paul's writings do you believe is heresy?

Right. It is what Jude called turning the grace of God into lasciviousness.

I can agree to that. What I don't agree to is when some say the willful sins they commit aren't sin anymore.

1 John 3:9

What is UR?

Yes, grace is the power of God given to us to cause us to obey. Smart lady.

So you are a Universalist? Or a Calvinist?

What do you mean by proof readers? The verse talks about reproof, which means rebuke. The verse is also talking about what scripture does for us.

Paul 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 To the church of God which is at Corinth

Isaiah 5:20-21 20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!

Hmmmm. Neither of them are Universalists.

Yes, it is love, but agape love. It is love even for our enemies. Here are the fruit of the Spirit - the first being love. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Please describe what you believe is the "law of grace."
