James 2:26, "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so the faith without works is dead also."
James 2:17, "So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead."
James 2:22, "Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected?"
James 2:24, "You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone."
1 Corinthians 7:19, "For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the Commandments of Yah?”
That's right. That's what it says.... the point Paul was making by delivering him over was that his SPIRIT would be saved.
You misinterpret all of your passages of James, he is referring to a person who is already saved and will show evidence of his faith with fruit -- someone who is not saved will not bear fruit, but don't you love how this verse from James supports all of your false doctrine and everyone retuning to the Law of YHWH, (GOD).
Your verses in James do not support going back to the Law Of Moses.
The heart of the matter is all about ones heart.
If Jesus has reached your essence, and heart, if you know why love is our heart beat,
and the thing that brings everything into focus, and Jesus on the cross expresses love
most profoundly, then why is there so much doubt or need for doctrines and ideas about
eternal security and being imprisoned and slaves to sin.
The reality is if this is a problem, you still have a long way to go. What is wrong with
sexual desire? Nothing except it is just hormones and biological attraction to create
children. It serves no great purpose than this. You life and you health depend on
the faithful walk of yourself and your partner.
But the way some people talk, marriage or bonding with another is their religion and
not God, their purpose is defined by the success or failure of this partnership.
And when we get to God, it is facts, a set of beliefs, and not much more. Emotions
are left at the door and legalism totally rejected. No one is going to tell me what to
do, and be like those other losers, no way.
But all this is the world, its ways and not the Kingdom and eternity.
But then those who have not really grasped eternity have only one perspective by
which they measure everything, the world. Strange that these same people claim
to know God so well, they can personally tell people after a few sentences if they
are going to hell or not. I am glad God has more insight than this.....
That's right. That's what it says.
So, if OSAS is true, why is it necessary that his flesh die in order for his spirit to be saved? In your doctrine, isn't his spirit already eternally and irreversibly saved and nothing at all ever can change that? Yet, Paul says his flesh must die in order for him to be saved. You have yet to explain why this condition is laid down IF, as you say, OSAS is true.
All of this is just psychology spouting. No truth of conversion. No changed nature. Head knowledge. I feel so sorry for you. And pray that the piercing light of the gospel penetrates this cloud of confusion over your mind.
My last post to you.
My favorite sermon can be done in two words...
He wept.
"Love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18) in way shape or form came to an end because of Christ. In fact, faith in Christ upholds the law (Romans 3:31).
The 'end of the law of righteousness' means Christ put an end to the way of trying to gain righteousness by keeping the law. Christ's appearing brought the new way of becoming righteous--by receiving the Holy Spirit when you receive God's forgiveness for your sin. And so our righteousness is from God, not from the power of our bodies to obey the law and be declared righteous that way.
Wow I have a lot of typos..too tired to find my reading glasses. Sorry. Hope my posts still make sense.
I call it the Instructions of YHWH mediated by Yahshua Messiah High Priest and King Eternal
Matt 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
Revelation 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahanan, saw the holy city, YHWH Shammah, coming down from YHWH out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and YHWH Himself will be with them, and be their Father.”
Matthew 12:50, “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”
Isayah 42:21, "YHWH is well-pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to magnify the Law, and make it honorable."
Mat 5:18-19, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh – the smallest of the letters – will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected. Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of YHWH; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of YHWH."
Mat 22:36-40, "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law? Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:5). This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Mat 7:12-14, "Therefore, all things you want men to do to you, do the same to them, for this is the (intent of the) Law and the Prophets. Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who go that way. Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few there are who find it."
It is true love
1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."
1 John 4:19-21, "We love Him, because He first loved us. If anyone says: I love YHWH, and hates his neighbor, he is a liar; for he who does not love his neighbor whom he has seen, how can he love YHWH Whom he has not seen? For we have this commandment from Him: That he who loves YHWH must love his neighbor also."
Then how are we saved?
That's right. That's what it says.
So, if OSAS is true, why is it necessary that his flesh die in order for his spirit to be saved? In your doctrine, isn't his spirit already eternally and irreversibly saved and nothing at all ever can change that? Yet, Paul says his flesh must die in order for him to be saved. You have yet to explain why this condition is laid down IF, as you say, OSAS is true.
To me a SERMON is a Bible Teaching Expositor of the WORD teaching for around ONE HOUR or more. Anything less than 45 minutes, is a Sermonette, and 20 minutes or LESS is a failed attempt to FEED THE SHEEP.

Jesus Christ did not abolish God's Law, He was the "Fulfillment of God's Law" Where as people who tried to keep God's Law "failed" Jesus/Messiah did not. And now we are free from the the law so that we can serve a Living God.
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Romans10:4
Testament , it does not speak to to our going back to the Mosaic Law. Which was a School Master to bring us to Christ/Messiah. Jesus did not abolish the Law He set us free from the Law, so who do people insist upon being under a School Master again, so very foolish.
Philippians3:3-9
3) For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh
4) though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5) circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;
6) as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.
7) But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
8) What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
9) and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith."
God's Grace plus nothing is our salvation; Your sanctification is a work of God and will not save you.
8) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
9) not by works, so that no one can boast.
10) For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
We are saved "unto good works" good works, cannot save you.
It is a True Gospel
