Do we walk with God as sinners?

[Big Boy Johnson]

Your reading comprehension has gone way downhill as of late. Here's the answer once again

I've been cleansed of all unrighteousness and I'm free from sin.

Feel free to wallah around in sin if you'd like, I'll remain free from it.

It's obvious that you are a cherry picker who does not accept everything the Lord says, and that's too bad for you.

Romans 8:1-4
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Feel free to consider what the Lord said thru the Apostle James to be lies all you want, it's not a problem for me but will be for you.

I understand what the Lord said through the Apostle James and I also understand what the Lord said through the Apostle Paul as well. Neither James nor Paul are lying. I already thoroughly explained this to you in post #98 after reading James 2 in context and properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. (2 Timothy 2:15) You are determined to make James say we are saved by works in contradiction to Paul. Salvation, by works is the only thing that the natural man can understand.

Through the filter of false doctrine not accepting the whole counsel of God.

Thanks but no thanks.

James say we are saved by works in contradiction to Paul.

What they didn't teach you in False Doctrine School is that we are to live by the faith of the Son of God which always produces good works just like Jesus did and does. Jesus tells is in John 15 that those IN THE LORD who do not bear good fruit are cut off.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

So feel free to ignore the word of Jesus and be all the things the scripture below says you are!

1 Timothy 6:3-5
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

This is why I ignore the teachings of the false teachers because they ignore the words of Jesus and have built their lives upon sinking sand. When their lives take them to where that leads it will be eternally devastating and they'll wish they had never attended False Doctrine School but it'll be too late.

You fail to properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine. You can't even properly harmonize James 2:14-24 with Romans 4:2-6 then you have the audacity to lecture me on the whole council of God? There is more to the whole council of God than your pet verses filtered through your eisegesis.

I already thoroughly explained John 15 to you in post #101 but apparently what I explained to you just went right over your head along with what I explained to you in post #98. A good tree represents believers and a bad tree represents unbelievers which includes make believers. I don't ignore the words of Jesus and I don't build my life on a false gospel either which is sinking sand.

Good works are the fruit, by product and demonstrative evidence of authentic faith (hence, good tree) but not the very essence of faith and also not the basis or means by which we obtain salvation. (Romans 4:2-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc. ).
