You have it backwards. Read again and again if you have to. And to love is to do the law. I'm justified so I love? No...they who love are fulfilling the law....not they who are fulfilling the law will love because of that.

Then there is "doing" the law. Gal. 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no...

Another foundational dialectic...or "polarity" concerns the law. Rom. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Compare with... Rom. 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. So then grace...

OK so that goes against the idea that none are righteous no not one as a stand alone thesis....the basis for evangelicalism. So are you renouncing Luther? Do you understand how these things work? Or do you just accept that things don't add up...and walk away.?

More nonsense from you. You won't engage the OP...just look to disagree and derail threads as if knowledge was a virus to be immunized from. Instead you just say..I don't see a problem with it. Is it reading comprehension? Wilfull blindness?

You tell me how Zacharias and Elizabeth were blameless and righteous under the law. And your other responses were typically dishonest. And unless you actually try to think instead of saying meaningless things...I won't respond.

No evangelical can reconcile these seeming contradictions...since Luther based the reformation on there being NO righteousness apart from Christ...that no one can be righteous in one's own strength by the law. And yet we see people being said to be righteous many times...without Christ. So...

Thank you for so alertly bringing this to our attention. Even the women? No....not the women!

So...if none are righteous according to a few verses in the bible...how do we end up with this? Both are recorded in the NT (Real answers only please) Romans 3:10 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: maybe Luke didn't get the memo??? Luke 1:6 6 And they were both...

Surely you are exaggerating any understanding you have concerning the OP. God has hidden the truth so that very few can understand it. That's why we are to search for it as for hid treasure. The people that say they understand the bible understand it the least. And God made it that way. And I...

The bible is written as a "dialectic"...where there is a thesis...an antithesis..and when these agree we have synthesis. it is a way to understanding the truth based on the way our brains work. We have 2 poles in our brain that function each separately. It's what allows us to become hypocrites...

Luther was the "high priest" of Nazism (National Socialism)...in that Hitler carried out all Luther's directives against the Jewish people. "On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word anti-Judaic treatise...

God is looking for spiritual fruit...not religious nuts. :)

Luther was Hitler's mentor...and all he did was carry out Luther's directives. Why do you think Nazism was so acceptable to German Lutherans? Have you read Luther? Have you studied history? People who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und...

Consider yourself rebuked.

I get that kind of reaction from religious kooks like yourself. Remember that Jesus was crucified by religious extremists.

So you are espousing being a judge of the world? Whereas Paul said that we are not to judge they who are outside the church. Are you not also a sinner...a sinner who judges others as sinners/ Are you not simply condemning yourself to whatever end you judge others into? Will you not fall into...

2 Pet. 3:16 as also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. What Luther suggested...very seductively...is that the...

I got the idea of this thread through a post in another thread that suggested that Paul was a false teacher. I don't see that. I don't believe that. What I see is that nonspiritual people can misread Paul as catering to the flesh. And the champion of all champions of carnal religious men with...

And that's because people misread Paul. They assume he is preaching "another" gospel to what Jesus taught. But most people are basically bible illiterate. Even Peter says the unlearned twist the meaning of Paul's letters as they do the other scriptures. So people are reading Paul through their...
