and you saved your self. with your obedience.

break one sin, you break them all. and will be condemned

but sin is not counted where there is no law.


you cannot put jesus back on the cross. and don t have a temple to take your sin offering too.

you do the maths

A works based LIE......SIN does not send ONE PERSON to HELL......UNBELIEF in the finished work of CHRIST is what sends one to hell.....you better wise up man.......your false gospel falls way short of meeting God's requirement........

If you desire to argue with Jesus then be my guest, I dont suppose any amount of sound reasoning can reach you at this point in time....the flesh will seek its own comfort zone, an eventually if not kept in check will opt to silence the conscience, whereas it becomes reprobate and can no longer receive anything from the Spirit....This is why Paul said "examine YOURSELF and see if you be in the faith"....those that walk after the flesh in the easy grace circles measure themselves amongst themselves, by themselves, for themselves ( meaning the flesh determines its own righteous standards>>>self righteous). Paul said this was not a good idea, but rather measure yourselves by the word of truth and see if their be any evil way in you.....

To clarify....you said church traditions G777.

However I believe when you teach that "the Holy spirit doesn't convict believers of their sins"; it is an attack against the Church as a whole.

It cause people to rebel against God when he does tell them they are sinning and need to stop, because they reject God's chastened and conviction (since they have believed the lie that God doesn't convict them of sins). Instead they attempt to claim that Jesus blood covers their rebellion, which is false.

God shows what is right and wrong in each believer's life. We have to choose..do we agree with God or do we rebel and tell God we didn't do anything wrong?

Do we ask for help to overcome or do we say we are is must fine as we are?

Yes we overcome by focusing on Jesus and who He makes us.

However babies aren't born fully mature. We have to allow parts of us to die so that the new might grow...old fleshly thoughts must decrease as the new spirit-filled thoughts increases.

examine context and truth of scripture , how can the truth set you free, if you believe a lie to be true.

but sin is not counted where there is no law.


you need a law ,to be accountable or to deem what a sin is.


christian are not saved by a law, they are saved by a saviour.

and not by some religion, that cannot prove there own faith, from scripture

thats it exactly pluck put the eye and cut off the hand teach us how serious and dangerous sin actually is. that part has never changed its been death from the start. thats the main issue with the false grace religion. it nullifies the life found in the gospel, and the power of the Holy spirit to give us the strength to actually walk in the right things, and repent of the evil we all have walked in, in the past.

its really following the false teachers that spread the gog rather than believing and following Jesus Christ. even if one reads and believes that a person needs to follow pauls words only as so many do, it still requires repentance from sin and walking in the things of God instead. it requires us to give our lives to God rather than saying grace and going on living for what we want. many of the ideas that come from the gog sort of lay the blame for what we do, on Gods failure to provide us with the tools and abilities to walk and live the Life.

some would say " its just christ living through me all his work" or things such as that, so then what about when a person lies, cheats, scams, commits adultery or holds grudges? is it then still " christ living in us?" the Bible is a lesson book, meant to Learn, and apply to Life its not a mystical belief its Just the Plain truth from God. Jesus was never unclear about sin nor were His apostles nor the prophets before, nor the Law of moses, Nor was God the Father in the Garden. its our choice to Live, or die. Hes given all He is going to give already in Jesus. through Him we have an offer of eternal Life. gotta learn and believe and actually do the things He teaches us to do, through the spirit in the Word.
very sound words friend, if one doesnt crucify the flesh in repentance the Holy Ghost CANNOT set up His abode therein...

the free gift of righteousness


had nothing to do with our action or our sinful action.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned---13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Righteousness IS NOT TRANSFERABLE anywhere within the bible...neither is sin transferable....let no man deceive you; he that does righteousness is righteous, and he that sins is of the devil, said the apostle John....

the free gift is forgiveness and mercy by God for past sins upon those that confess and forsake their sin, however God's mercy will not fall upon the unrepentant, Exodus 34...............give up the vain traditions of men and seek God face to face.....

Thank you for being truthful about what I said.

I disagree however that the knowledge that our sins are forgiven and that the Holy Spirit does not convict us of sins but of our righteousness in Christ instead - that this will lead people to be worse off. I believe the complete opposite will happen.

As Paul says to the most carnal church - the Corinthians to "Awake to righteousness and sin not". Awake means to " sober up and to come to one's true self".

Wake up to who you really are in Christ - "be" who you truly are in the new creation in Christ that has been created in righteousness and holiness.

When we behold the goodness/glory of the Lord with the eyes of our inner man in Christ that we are the righteousness of God in Christ - we will manifest this righteousness as we are transformed by the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. Sin will fall off our lives like dead leaves on a tree.

Walking by the spirit will always stop the lusts of the flesh that want to do "it's" desires.

but sin is not counted where there is no law.

why are you repenting. when did cornilous ,repent to get the holy spirit. acts 10

15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.


you need a law ,to be accountable or to deem what a sin is.

Yeah half a statement can be twisted to mean anything..try reading the whole message..

I said we aren't DEFINED by our actions and emotions but we will be JUDGED and either found Pure and good or in need of Chastenment.
I am not twisting your response, I am not agreeing with it.
I realised inside ourselves we play a story that we believe is us.

It struck me some time ago, we are different than the picture we project.
So then I thought, how would you summarise an individual?

The concrete things are our actions, and how we do things. They are proof
of what is within.

Imagine you could see it all. I think you would get a pretty clear idea who and what
they are. It is not we earn something by who we are, it is there is no place to hide,
God knows and sees all the secrets of man.

It is why the place alone often defines us and our understanding of the Lord.
There is no audience between us and the Lord in this place.

What is conviction of sins?

G7 makes a good point, the Holy Spirit is not a rule enforcer.

Have you ever walked into a spotless house where everything is neat and tidy?
Or seen a white suit, clean crisp, spotless.

When you then look at your own things you see the faults, the failures, the loss
of ability. It is us seeing in the light see our failure and are convicted.

God just has to be God and we have to be brutally honest about ourselves.
So everything about God convicts us, there is no one issue, dwelling with
the most High is to be humbled.

The rebellion centers on denying seeing God shows our sin, then to remove
the knowledge of conviction and claim we are ok.

Both realities people are denying, and they will continue to walk in darkness.
To see God is to be convicted. To not be convicted, you have not seen God.

To strut into an arena, blaspheme the Lord and no one blinks, shows the spiritual
poverty of many. It is like a game show, of who can win the lucky prize.

Make no mistake judgement will fall, God is not mocked. In Gods time, things will
work to completion.

The snake in the garden said, Did God say you would die?

To know God is to be convicted of our failure, yet where is the verse that says God
convicts us? We do not need a verse our hearts cry out in conviction, which is why
the ex-legalists want a free pass and do not believe in resolution.

Lying and distorting is always his game, and the biggest lies are the best, until you
shine a light on them.

Hi RS

I don't know to whom you're speaking.
If you reply to me, please use the quote feature.

I find that there is a great deal of misunderstanding between the O.C. and the N.C.
It would seem that under the O.C. we are under the Law and under the N.C. we are not.

You yourself have stated that there is no sin where there is no Law.

So, the question becomes IS THERE A LAW?

Or did it just CHANGE?

Did God take the Law from a piece of stone upon which it was written when given to Moses...

And did He place it in a heart of flesh as promised in Ezekiel 36.26...


Or was the Law done away with, discarded, abolished?

Are we to believe JESUS or not?

Did Jesus not say that He DID NOT come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Make it more complete, make it BETTER.
Mathew 5:17

In fact, JESUS says that not one iota of the Law shall pass. Many here know Greek, apparently, and will know that IOTA means not even one little letter of the Law.

So since you say that we need a Law to be accountable for sin and you believe there is no Law...

Could you please show me where JESUS says this?

Thanks.

when did you have the same IQ as the snake in the garden.
so by reading the bible, you have came into some logic or understanding about god.

it was the punishment from god, that caused death. to stop man thinking he has the same IQ and understanding that god has.

22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever--Genesis 3

after all the jewish tryed to kill gods son, with the law god, gave mosses, thinking they were doing god a faviour.

Hi PJ

I can't go back and read everything.
I don't know what Grace said.

Are YOU saying that the Holy Spirit does NOT convict of sin?

One of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is to convict of sin.
Maybe I've misunderstood...

read all my post and come back in context to what i wrote. please
I just got here.

You expect me to read all your posts or you won't answer?

WHAT CONTEXT?

You're saying there is no Law.

Can't you show me where JESUS said that the Law has been abolished???

It's a simple request.
If you can't, you can't.
Because Jesus NEVER said that the LAW is abolished.

In fact, He made it MORE DIFFICULT to follow it.

Friend,

I know Jesus.

I have no loss, but only gain.

You might want to conisder ceasing your statement that THERE IS NO LAW.
You might have meant something different, but it sure does sound like the above for someone just reading along.

Good day.
