Understood.

Galatians 2:20-21 KJV
20) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Did you mean to say that IF Paul were dependent on his own righteousness that it would not leave space for grace? Am I understanding correctly?

When you say, "would preempt grace", are you meaning grace as "enabling power" or it's other meaning of "undeserved favor"?

So that relying on my own efforts to be right with God prevent His enabling power to have effect in me? Is that your idea? I want to make sure I understand.

Much love!
Apologies, I meant say Paul was NOT dependent on his own righteousness. I corrected the post. Thanks!

The flesh can't be humble, you do know that from experience. This is what you wrote in post #50



What a fleshy thing to say, the red.

When a person who condones sin tries to accuse someone who is trying to explain something very far beyond that person's experience...of boasting...then all we have left is a sinful testimony, as in...grace doesn't work, we are all still in Adam under the dominion of sin we have not been liberated from the bondage of Adam...

Now, having believed such lies...due to your own lack of experience of grace, you must then choose from 2 options

1. Be like Behold and falsely claim your sins are actually seen as holiness by God in a crazy scheme that makes Jesus a sinner and we the righteous as Jesus

2. OR we water down the truth to such an extent that any old sinner can claim to be a saint..which most of you prefer.
~~~~

Regarding 1 John 3

1John 3:4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. [ESV]
1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [KJV]

1John 3:6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. [ESV]
1John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [KJV]

1John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. [ESV]
1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. [KJV]

1John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. [ESV]
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [KJV]

Which translation is the right one, the one you use (KJV) to make your case or the ESV ?

I do think the ESV explains what John meant to say IN CONTEXT what he wrote earlier, 2 chapters ago. There it is, that pesky word context that so often destroys quoted isolated verses, as in your case.

. It can not be that 3:6 means - one sin and you never knew Jesus.
. It can not be that 3:8 means - one sin and you are of the devil.
. Likewise, It can not be that 3:9 means - a reborn can not sin.

Furthermore a literal KJV interpretation is in direct conflict what John wrote in chapter one :

1Joh 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1Joh 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Joh 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Joh 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
You are simply using more and more corrupted translations to follow the modern trend of justifying sin. The truth is lost...the power is denied.

Why should I take you seriously who give so much room for sin. Paul said we should avoid such people.

You now raise the stake very high, I now must believe God entrusted you the words of Himself.

Wow.......

So far what you have contributed does not line up with the whole counsel of the Scriptures, 2 isolated verses in 1 John, not even properly understood does not make a sinless walk in Christ true.

More than 100 billion people lived and died on the planet an no one, not one, lived without sin.

Except Jesus.

And why was that ?

Because Jesus was God the Son, and God the Son like God the Father can not sin, not even when taking the human form.

We are not Jesus, the God man Epi, and never will.
There is no sin in Christ...to enter into Christ (abide) means you have been purged from sin. Do you deny the resurrection? Do you deny the power of the gospel? Grace? The cross of Christ?

Repent from your powerless flesh and turn to God.

Add to the list of man-made dogma...Evangelicalism

So you don't believe in taking the Gospel to the world which is what biblical evangelicalism is?

That's the position of the calvinists. They don't share the gospel with others because they claim God only intended for a few to be saved and He appointed all others to burn in hell

TO DEPART FROM EVIL .
congrats.gifcongrats4.png


The fear of the LORD is...

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD IS the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the LORD IS to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Psalm 19:9
The fear of the LORD IS clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

The team of satans ecumincal interfaith train .
But i see what satanists told them false religoins on stage .
And yeah thems satanists all right no matter how much wool he wore and all who do that interreligious dialgoue do wear .
WESAH BINS DECIEVED FOLKS . that is my new arabic name for this generation .
WE is , or has been DECIEVED . keep clinging to that tit of the ecumincal harlot and it will be your total ruin at your end .
Oh i watch folks all right . And what kind of brother would i have been to any
if i let them follow satans right hand and his left hand leaders RIGHT TO ANTI CHRIST .
both the left and the right do its call now . And sadly this generation cannot discern this .

don't they know they are on the same team?
the most blind of them all
and the most legalistic of them all
the most pharisee like of them all
Are actually sitting smack dab right in the middle of this ECUMINCAL SORRY PILE OF DUNG , judge not
all religoins serve GOD junk .
IT aint me that is the legalistic . YOU DONT SEE ME sitting under ecumincal interfaith ,
YOU SEE ME FIGHTING its lies which by its interreligious dialgoue HAS MADE THE DIRE NEED TO BELEIVE ON CHRIST
to be saved , TOTALLY VOID . THERE IS YOUR PHARISEE
and yet most think them judge not correct not , victam card , GOD HATING but god loving , are the lovers of humanity .
THEY THE HATERS OF HUMANITY and satan is their father .
ONLY SATAN would have told this generation and even implied to it
OH ITS OKAY if one believes NOT that JESUS IS THE CHRIST, OH GOD IS LOVE , he says , WE ALL on our own path to HIM .
AND THERE IS YOUR INTERFAITH and exactly what its leading all right too . I EXPOSE that satanic delusion which calls itself love
and claims its of GOD . IT AINT of GOD , it aint of Christ , ITs of the dragon and of that which is of anti christ .

That was in direct response to Eternally Grateful. Watching this generation increase in its love of sin was not the entertaining part. We are to promote Jesus Christ and the truth of God's Word, but what I see too often are folks who exploit Jesus Christ and God's Word only to end up promoting themselves.

If you saw a building smoking and flames from within
Are you gonna enter into and just sit and hug and try and get along
OR would we do all to warn those inside YOU GOTS TO GET OUT that building IS ON FIRE and it will be your death if you stay
within it .
WELL this sheep gonna warn . cause i see many houses of christendom on fire all right
And its the wrong spirit that set that flame
and that house is coming DOWN on the day of the LORD .
