If there is no law, there can be no sin;I never said sin wasn't sin. I said the Church is under no law. I never said it is ok to commit sin because we are not under law. Sin is always sin and when we sin we confess it before God and move on. The law has no power or authority over us to condemn us. We do not try and now keep the law of God so as not to sin. We walk in the Spirit. If we walk in the Spirit we will not sin. If you try and obey the law, your sins will multiply.
Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Since you agree that believers still sin, there must be a law we are breaking. Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
No, that is what you said because you are the one that requires me to be a Christian in order for me to be part of the Church. One need not be a Christian to be a believer. One need only put their faith in Messiah Yeshua as their Lord and Savior.OK, so you're part of the Church...you just don't like your name. You're the one claiming before you were not Christian, not part of the Church. I was just going by what you said.
If a believing Jew has respect of persons, then he has broken the whole law. I agree. Thus, it is established that the whole law still exists in order for it to be broken.Concerning (James 2:8-12), James is speaking to Jewish Christians concerning having the faith in Christ with respect of persons. And he goes on to use the example of accepting a rich man and not a poor man into your assembly. We know the Jerusalem Church was especially prone to to have the faith in Christ with respect to the Jews and not the Gentiles. And, that they were prone to try and force circumcision on the Gentiles. And they were prone to keeping the law.
So James is showing these Jews that respect of persons is a sin just as adultry is a sin, just as murder is a sin, thus they have broken the whole law, because when you break one law, you have broken the whole law. The law to the Jews is like a pacifier. They need to be taken back to it to prove what is sin and what is not.
Truth is a big deal, especially when it is cast down to the ground by error. You obviously have a very lackadaisical attitude toward truth.Well, if you don't like the term Easter, and don't know that Easter should mean passover and represent the feast of passover, then find you a Bible that doesn't have it there. Concerning the word ' 'LORD' even the 'Tanakh' uses the word LORD God, and God, and Lord. You are making a big deal over nothing.
