Good questions from the Member.

1- Believers in the N.T. are called saints, holy ones and not sinners. Do you disagree ?


We are not sinners. Unbelievers are sinners, because they are not born again.

The Born again, exist" in Christ".. and there is no sin found 'In Christ".

We, the born again, are also.

Heirs of God
Joint Heirs with Jesus
Redeemed.
Made Righteous
Seated in heavenly places
Temple of the Holy Spirit
The Body of Christ



2- Where can you justify sin as if its OK outside of Romans 7 ?

WE, you and I and the human race, can't justify Sin.
God however, has forgiven our sin, based on the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.
He has taken all our sin and "God hath made Jesus to BE SIN FOR US ", and now we are "made free from Sin".

Proof?

The born again are joined to God and Christ......How can you be Joined to God who is Holy, and Jesus who is Righteousness, and have sin or be a sinner??


Welcome Home "Saint".

Welcome to : SALVATION
Its a "GIFT".


3- Romans 7 should be understood in light of all the other chapters in Romans and the writings of his other epistles, the other Apostles letters and the teaching of Jesus. Do you disagree ?


That Chapter, is a testimony and a teaching, that continues , into ... "Christ always Gives me the Victory" and " I can do all things through Christ"...
Its Paul showing you the wrong mind, that is "law bound" and not Grace Freed or "Blood bought".
Paul was giving the inner-view of what happens inside your own mind when you are trying to live the Christian Life, in the mind of the Flesh. "under the law".
The mind of "trying to be good", based on trying to be good. = you cant.

Salvation, is God making you HOLY, without you trying.....God made us RIGHTEOUS< while "we were yet sinners"
That is what Paul taught later, beyond Romans 7., reader. There is more in there !
Most Believers, are STUCK in Romans 7, ...Yet Paul kept going and taught that we are "made free from sin" and are become "the Righteousness of God, in Christ".

Dont get stuck in Romans 7, reader.
Its one of the strongholds of Heresy that the devil will twist into you, using His Deceived.
Its not "Christianity"....Its how to be "fallen from Grace". or "in the Flesh".



4- Did Jesus and the Apostles call believers to be holy, to be obedient ? yes or no

= "be ye holy as God is Holy"

Q.) How can a sinner, be Holy?

A.) God has to die on the Cross for all your sin, and then give you the "Gift of Righteousness", so that you become Holy, forever, based on the Cross of Christ.

1 John 1:8-10

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.​

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

It would seem Pelagianism …
  1. Even if Adam had not sinned, he would have died.
  2. Adam's sin harmed only himself, not the human race.
  3. Children just born are in the same state as Adam before his fall.
  4. The whole human race neither dies through Adam's sin or death, nor rises again through the resurrection of Christ.
  5. The (Mosaic Law) is as good a guide to heaven as the Gospel.
  6. Even before the advent of Christ there were men who were without sin.
… Is alive and well, after all.
