the cross like the law kills people, if you are still carrying you cross than you have not yet died to self.
if any would come after Me let him pick up his cross daily and followthe cross like the law kills people, if you are still carrying you cross than you have not yet died to self.
You talking to me?But than why do you care, you need to pay for the free Gift, His sacrifice is not enough for you as it isnt fo many.
You really should read to see who the post was addreesed to.You talking to me?
I didn't pay one red cent for the free gift that was given to me.
However, the gift given was righteousness (Romans 5:17); which, as it turns out, is a practical thing (1 John 3:7).
Than they die, but you cant comprehend it can you, its all about you.if any would come after Me let him pick up his cross daily and follow
post #445 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience) (the latter end of which I responded to in post #447 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience)) doesn't appear to be addressed to anyone that is specified in the post (#445)...which is the reason why I asked if it was to me.You really should read to see who the post was addreesed to.
YE i missed that it was to our unbelieving friend. You should ask Him why He is here, because I cant get an answer, a man on a christian forum who does not believe that Jesus died for His sins. And he is not teh only one...post #445 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience) (the latter end of which I responded to in post #447 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience)) doesn't appear to be addressed to anyone that is specified in the post (#445)...which is the reason why I asked if it was to me.
I don't know who else shares his opinion on that matter...And he is not teh only one...
Amen to that:I don't know who else shares his opinion on that matter...
But then again I don't need to know.
When the sower sows his seed, he sows it among all types of ground; knowing that only one type of ground will bear the proper fruit.

it's all about me? You don't think maybe telling me that i don't have to pick up my cross and die daily and also telling me i'm being selfish somehow is a bit...thick? or i mean incongruous or whatever? Can you clarify this any, how i am being selfish there? tyThan they die, but you cant comprehend it can you, its all about you.
of course agreeing with this is no problem, i agree. A point is really that it's a way to change the subject, right, and discuss ideals instead of reals?The point is that true believers are reckoned righteous - justified - in the sight of God (Romans 5.1) and eternally secure (Romans 8.38-39); the obedience of faith - obedience to the faith - is a characteristic of the truly justified.
You know what happened to Jesus after He took up His cross????it's all about me? You don't think maybe telling me that i don't have to pick up my cross and die daily and also telling me i'm being selfish somehow is a bit...thick? or i mean incongruous or whatever? Can you clarify this any, how i am being selfish there? ty
i mean you do realize on some level that i was just Quoting Jesus there right?
"Than they die" is your response to "if any would come after Me let him pick up his cross daily and follow," mjr?
There is you must admit a great divergence of opinion on what "obedience to the faith' actually means right?The point is that true believers are reckoned righteous - justified - in the sight of God (Romans 5.1) and eternally secure (Romans 8.38-39); the obedience of faith - obedience to the faith - is a characteristic of the truly justified.
Commentary on Romans.There is you must admit a great divergence of opinion on what "obedience to the faith' actually means right?
well mjr, and so that is your justification for refusing to pick up your cross and follow?You know what happened to Jesus after He took up His cross????
