“all I hear is how you think obedience comes from the law. And how good you think you are”
Jackie-rosie never said any such thing. If she did please show me. I do read her posts.
Your question: how does your statement telling about your being forgiven if sin (against others) in some detail of expression with no thought of what your sin means to others is why I responded. If we replace “sin” with a word listing one like “stealing” then it sound different to be at peace that God forgives for all the stealing youll continue to do every day. Do you see what I mean?
You were the unlucky one who casually mentioned you sin but I know a lot of christians have no
problem saying they sin a lot or sin every day. So you’re not the only one. It’s very common.
I don’t remember the false witness but in general most of you don’t understand me.

I have all but given up hope of being understood. I’ll try again.
Are words necessary to maintain love in a marriage? Does one have to perform works or the thing is over? The answer is no. Works proceed from love. If one never does a single thing for the beloved can love die? The answer is yes.
Can you see how a marriage love isn’t maintained by works but neglect is possible without some work? Do you see how doing so is not considered “works?”
The relationship is what I desire, not salvation as a goal.

Thanks so much Jackierose! Your name says rose but you’re a peach. 
The test of a person’s love is not how they behave towards those who share their thinking but how they respond when others disagree.

this in order to preserve and protect his own beloved people, the people of His choosing.
You and JackieRosie proclaim that you are Christians. Continuously and often. Christians are those who understand believe God's Word as it is written. If you do NOT believe God's word you are not a Christian. So let us put you two to the test and find out whether you are Christians or not. This for the benefit of the board members so that they are not seduced by false doctrine and a false gospel.
Gods dealing with Sodom and Gomorrah? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
Lord Jesus Messiah leading the conquest of Canaan? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
Gods direct hand in the plagues of Exodus? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
God himself striking down Nadab and Abihu? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
God striking down Korah Dathan Abiram? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
Elijah striking down the 400 prophets of Baal? Is this incident Scriptural yes or no?
Six extremely simple and straightforward yes or no answers. These will determine whether you two are heretics or not. We await your answers thank you.
I never said anything close to
that. It is untrue and I never said that but the others accuse me of saying so. But thanks for posting this. Means a lot to me.
I will tell you what I do say,
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. This cannot be done outside of obeying Him. It is not a gift but it is not earned same as no one earns their spouse but neither are they going to find a mate without some effort. The marriage relationship is the closest example I can find but I didn’t think of it first.
