The old "me" is dead now.The imputed righteousness of Christ.....not the righteousness produced by men who claim to be sinless.....
for a covenant wherein we can be righteous all the time.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed:
'God, I thank you that I am not like other people
-- robbers, evildoers, adulterers --
or even like this tax collector.'
(Luke 18:11)
The devils believe, and tremble.This statement is not only ignorant, but contrary to the bible and satanic at it's core.....
He that believes on the son is having everlasting life and is passed from death unto life......they will not face the lake of fire....talk about ignorance...wow....!
But lots of room for boasting?The old "me" is dead now.
It was crucified, buried, and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.
It is His righteousness in His vessel.
No room for sin in "Him"
You said unbelief is inconsequential...The devils believe, and tremble.
Sin manifests unbelief.
Unbelief is inconsequential.
Re: Not By Works![]()
I sensed a bit of loneliness in your posts, Philip. We all long for our eternal home at times. But, Our life is more important to be alive than we may realize.
so, you were going to tell me about when the Law of Moses was given to Adam . . ?
or you still sticking with "
there was no such thing as sin before Exodus 20" ?
A worthwhile exhortation.do not build steps on your altar, or you will expose your shame.
I pray that you will grow in grace and knowledge...soon.
All men are given that choice.I will go with Bill's focus any day over your café blend, sinless perfectionist blindness.........
According to you, sin manifests unbelief, which you say is inconsequential. Why then fear? Where the danger? My understanding is different. I simply wonder how you come to these conclusions that contradict Bible teachings.What you sense is the fear I have for those who see no danger in sin.
Why didn't you include the rest of the verse?here, PJW, let me help you:
To be sure, sin was in the world before the Law was given
(Romans 5:13)
You should have someone read John 8:32-34 to you.many who think they do not sin have a appointment at the lake of fire, they may think they do not sin, but they ( you ) are wrong.
your beliefs have nothing to do with reality. reality is truth, not your sinless perfection self-deceit.
Yep.Listen....your ignorance is about as deep as the Laurentian trench.....Peter had faith and denied the Lord three times = sin....take your sinless perfectionist garbage to some other thread....because I for one am tired of you mocking Christ, lying, and spreading heresy.
If it is obvious, that if belief and obedience to God is not to be considered, I will get banned here too.Your not obedient to God, your a deceived false teacher....and why was you banned from the other site..do tell.....oh...the reason is obvious!
I sure am glad that God made it possible to walk in the Spirit instead of in the flesh in this new covenant.I guess your blind to the fact that Jesus inspired DAVID as well......no big surprise....you are still in sin and have not trusted JESUS yet it seems....
I believe Jesus is God and therefore omniscient. Therefore, nothing would surprise Him, not even knowing that you believe yourself already perfected in Him, though He has yet to bring to completion the good work He *may have* begun in you.Yep.
He did it before receiving the Holy Ghost, which is only given after repentance.
Heresy?
Loving God above all else and your neighbor as your self is heresy?
Wouldn't Jesus be surprised.
Why don't you suppose his "turn from sin" was any more genuine than some others here?But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
(Luke 18:13-14)
Thank you for that reassurance.Your nothing like me..
The one major difference between me and Pharisees, is that I don't commit sin....you are more like the Pharisee of old.....self righteous, brags on your works in public, claims no sin and all else sinners who are lost because they are honest with the truth.....
WOW.....just like the Pharisee........yep....your pegged....
"Get right"?No...I am not defending sin and yanking Matthew 24 out of context to prove your false point does not help make your false case.....you should stop being a Pharisee and admit the truth and get right........
