Paul said the Law was “ weak and useless” . It is . Why? It can only “ point out” Sin.....it has NO POWER to Save
Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Gal 3:24, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
.The Law was given so that “ Sin might increase !” You guys want to see Sin increase ? I hope not. So stop preaching it .
See the verses above...the preaching of the law has a purpose in the body of Christ.
There are also verses that tell us that the law is written on the hearts and in the minds of those who exist under the New Covenant...Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 5:5.
Paul said that the Law was only beneficial to those who knew how to use it—-you “ use it” by “ stopping your mouth” about any delusions that you can keep it and use it to see that you “ cant” keep it and you need a Savior with a Ton full of Grace to Save you.....
Ten Commandments or Ten Thousand Commandments Don't “ matter” at all, unless you let them do what they were designed to do—- lead you to Christ! Then you can trade in those Laws for something FAR better to guide you and make your life Pleasing to God—that “ something” would be the Holy Spirit. God bless...
Indeed...and the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4)...
So if you think you have the Spirit...but are living in violation of the law...think again...
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. (Galarians 5:22-23)
....but then .....they must repent of all of their sins before they die or they go to Hell! Am I Right or wrong? A one word response is all we need here.....thanks...
One word cannot suffice....for you are both right and wrong.
Your statement is right...but your opinion about the statement is wrong.
If you are blessed enough to get this Visit from the Holy Spirit , you will know it when you emulate the Sinful Publican and cry out , “ Lord Jesus, have Mercy on me , a Sinner”.
Yes, and in that you would be justified...declared righteous (Luke 18:14).
Now, it is impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18)...so that means that in declaring you righteous He would be calling those things which be not as though they are (Romans 4:17); thus creating a new reality...that you are righteous in the 1 John 3:7 sense.
I realize that to those who do not look up the verses, the meaning of what I am saying will be lost on them...
But that is the price of being obedient to the wisdom of Proverbs...which tells me both to conceal knowledge (Proverbs 12:23) and to disperse it (Proverbs 15:7).
Therefore, in merely referencing scripture rather than quoting it for the most part, I know that I am not casting my pearls before swine, so that they would trample them under their feet and turn again and rend me (Matthew 7:6).
That was a little tangent...don't know why I went there....must've been the Holy Spirit though.
