Not faith alone?

[kcnalp]

That seems to be a common misconception.

Keep reading...I have addressed this issue in other threads.

Do you obey the Law of Moses? Of course you don't.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

You never sin?

No.

Because of the love of God that was shed abroad in my heart; and all my old sins were taken away when I believed the gospel.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

By the law is the knowledge of sin, as the scripture says.

I hate to break the news to you but John says:
1 John 1:7-8 (NKJV)
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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Do you obey the Law of Moses? Of course you don't.

The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me when I walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4).

Then why would you preach the Law of Moses to anyone? Nobody can obey it.

Again, 1 John 1:8 is speaking of indwelling sin; while 1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 2:17 speak of the committing of sins (practical sinning).

The element of sin can be rendered dead within a man (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say or authority over his behaviour (Romans 6:14).

To win them to Christ...

Keep reading...I have spoken all over the place about what is the purpose of the law of Moses.

Indwelling sin? Can't find that in my Bibles.

So, you preach the parts where gays, adulterers and those who work on weekends are to be executed?

 

[justbyfaith]

Indwelling sin? Can't find that in my Bibles.

Some great Bible teachers speak of it (Charles Stanley for example).

In 1 John 1:8, it does not say, "If we say that we do not sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."

Look at it again.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

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

You left out the rest of the verse:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

The one in whom the truth is not in is the one who says he has no sin BEFORE confessing his sins in belief of the gospel.

That is an ironic statement when I consider your signature.

Yep, John included himself, "If we say that we do not sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."

So you just pick the parts of the Law of Moses you like?

 

[justbyfaith]

Yep, John included himself, "If we say that we do not sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."

You appear to me to be hard-hearted and stubborn. You will not even read the scripture as it is truly written.

You left out the rest of the verse:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

The one in whom the truth is not in is the one who says he has no sin BEFORE confessing his sins in belief of the gospel.

Amen! John said "US", including himself.

Most assuredly, the Lord executes in hell, adulterers and sodomites and the rest.

 

[kcnalp]

Executes?

 

[justbyfaith]

Amen! John said "US", including himself.

What does it mean to be cleansed from all unrighteousness?

 

[kcnalp]

What does it mean to be cleansed from all unrighteousness?

It means you're a sinner, just like John admitted to being.
