I think I see now. Yes I understand you. We born again Christians still do some wrongful carnal deeds called works of the flesh, but the Bible does not call them sinning for us anymore, because we are not under the law,
No.
What did the law have to do with Gentiles?
It was the Hebrews/the Tribes of Israel that were released from the “PENTALIES” of the mosaic law.
As a Gentile WHAT WAS your sin? Lying to your boss? Or...
Being naturally born (from a mans corrupt seed)...in sin?
Being naturally born NOT believing in God?
Growing NOT believing IN God, IN Christ Jesus?
And the whole time of NOT Believing in the Lord God...
So also was your SOUL in your unbelieving Flesh body becoming corrupted BY Disbelief.
Point being, you were not forgiven or soul saved or spirit quickened, for “NOT believing or obeying Mosaic Law”!
and so we shouldn't be improperly confessing them as sinning.
.
BROADLY, Men do not read and study the scriptures...or even verify what they hear preached.
I am a gentile....Repeatedly what is scripturally Preached ...
1)
Believe IN God and the one He sent, ie Christ Jesus. (Mans WORK)
2)
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus...the advocate.
3)
Confess Heartful repentance for having NOT Believed.
4)
Confess Heartful Belief IN God and the one He sent, ie Christ Jesus (Mans reasonable SERVICE)
5) In brief; the Lord God’s Response...(Gods Works) forgive, accept his body dead, crucified with Jesus, save his soul, quicken his spirit, circumcise his heart, enter Gods Spirit of Truth in a mans new sprit, (born of Gods Seed) in his new heart........called CONVERSION.
That establishes a ONE on ONE permanent Relationship, between ONE man and the ONE Lord God....PERIOD.
WHAT SIN thereafter can that ONE man COMMIT AGAINST GOD?
Lie to God? No. Reject God? No. Cheat on God with other gods? No
Preach Against God? No. ....nada. Gods Spirit is IN that man....
WHAT Power IS greater than Gods Spirit? ...nada
Nothing what so ever can EVER AGAIN turn that man Against God.
Now that that man IS
Converted.....then what?
He is prepared to DO additional works.
Required? No.
Prepared with Gods Spirit IN him? Yes. TO DO..works and services.
WHAT Kind of
Works? Charity, yes. Helping hand to others? Yes...
IN JESUS’ NAME..YES, .meaning, not taking credit for charity, or helping others....but giving the credit AND glory to the Lord God.
AND...?? IF those works Glorify God...then what?
WHEN the Lord RETURNS, He shall “REWARD” you.
WHAT Kind of
Service? Preaching, Teaching, Spreading the word of God........for money, for goodies exchange? NO, for FREE. For again the Purpose of Glorifying God.
Again, WHEN the Lord RETURNS, He shall “REWARD” you.
So what does ANY of THAT, have to DO WITH That mans one on one Relationship WITH the Lord God....and other men? NOTHING.
But, but, but....the man (crucified with Jesus, and converted)...is still walking around in his flesh body....AND? Has multiple long and brief relationships, mingling with people they know and strangers....right?
AND? Was any man told to believe IN men?
AND? Was any man told to CONFESS Heartful belief IN men?
So...what is it when men lie to men, men cheat men, men rob men, men want what other men have, on and on? Lying, cheating, stealing, coveting....TRESPASSING. And what should
men do WHO trespass against
men. APOLOGIZE and Remedy their trespass...FIX the harm they caused....to the other person.
Why are men against men, calling that a sin and Asking God to forgive them of man again man....?
IF a man rapes your daughter, kills your son, drives his truck through your garden of vegetables, borrows from you and Never repay as promised..............Do you feel better, or even KNOW...
IF he then runs to God and asks God to “forgive” him?
What about your harm, your loss, your grief....doesn’t it seem a bit ODD, men are being taught, to bypass you, not admit their wrong to you and remedy their Trespass against you and the harm it caused?
IMO according to what the Jews knew for centuries....
SIN is Against God and ONLY God can forgive SIN.
NT God revealed Christ the Lord Jesus and His authority to Forgive Sin.
AND.......because broadly the Jews did not believe Jesus was the Christ, they wanted TO KILL JESUS, expressly for forgiving SINS AGAINST GOD. They claimed JESUS, was falsely claiming He was God, and had the power and authority TO forgive sin.
And somehow......Gentile men have taught for centuries, MEN sin against MEN, and thus men can forgive men of sin.
It’s a long ingrained false teaching.
Glory to God,
Taken
