And your different from them how?
Your adding works. Just like they did
Your being offered grace now. WIll you recieve it, or fall from it like they did because their true faith was in their works, Not in grace?
What do you think you can offer God that will cause him to forgive one sin you have commited?

BACs have an incredible advantage over those in the OT:
1) the indwelling Holy Spirit
2) they are new creations
3) they have the whole complete Scripture
4) they have been set FREE from being slaves of sin
News Flash ...
Jesus came to FREE his sons and daughters from being slaves of sin!
That's why He came!
Because the Father will NOT accept anyone who has any unconfessed-unrepented sin.
You don't want to hear it ... but IF you're a BAC, you do NOT have to sin!

He freed me, I am no longer a slave
1. Sin can no longer condemn me
2. Because of that, It no longer has any power over me
3. Because I have experienced Gods love, I now have the power to love, as he loved (we love because he first loved us)
4. I now have the power to obey Gods commands.. Because I am under the law of Love, not the law of sin and death.
You think you have freedom from sin? Your still under its power. Because you have failed to yield to Christ and his gospel of mercy and love and grace.

So this biblical scholar has not read this
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness
Rom 6
Paul is pointing out with the Holy Spirit in our hearts we can but follow Jesus
and do works that bring glory to His name.
Not sure about this the condemnation mentioned here.
You think you have freedom from sin? Your still under its power. Because you have failed to yield to Christ
Very arrogant and judgemental, putting oneself in the place of God. Not a good thing to do ever for anybody.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
2 Peter 1
Grasping Gods love in our hearts and following it, puts us in the middle of His will.
Amen
Hard hearted people have no clue what this means, and you will get unbelievable push back
from such as these because they do not know what love in an open heart really does.
God bless you

Wow. It shows the quantity of unrepented sins you must have is so long you have given up
working through it. The Lords principle is to repent of any known sin.
A defeated believer will always say, it is too hard and too long, I will not even try.
But as any adventurer knows, only those who get up and start walking get to the end.
Giving up lets defeat win, and we are a victorious people following our Lord who went
to the cross to make the way for us to follow and who told us His way is easy and His burden
is light. Thank you Jesus.

"... you are that one’s slaves whom you obey,
whether (slaves) of sin leading to (eternal) death,
OR (slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness?
... so now present your members as
slaves of righteousness for holiness." (Romans 6:16, 19)

This is true no matter the position one holds. It is amazing the only way we can see God is with a
pure heart, because only a pure heart can cope with the truth.
It is always interesting to see people who claim to know Jesus and to listen to Him not understand
this basic fundamental truth, that the King of Creation has declared.
The further reality is only those with a pure heart realise its reality and those who compromise
and stay poluted by sin, always deny this reality, because they can never see it.
It is why part of Jesus and His message is, until you walk you will never know.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matt 5
