Paul was used mightily by God. He was a bad man in his previous life. Have you ever thought of asking God to do the same.

Paul was even,but even after he was saved, he still sinned.

he still failed to maintain the standard required by God to maintain salvation,

that’s why he preached grace grace grace, which also preaching how we shoudl walk.

because he knew first hand how sinful he really was, because he learned sin is more than just breaking the law. It’s taking back what God refuses to give up.

God gives us much more than that

yet He also showed us we can not obey them all perfectly, and we will never live up to his standard. That’s WHY he came to earth,

you need to study the law more. It seems to have not yet brought you to Christ.

Following Jesus is not works. You ought to do it.

Following Jesus To try to be like him is sanctification,

following Jesus to maintain salvation is works, how many times do you have to be told this?

i been following Jesus for 40 some years. And how dare you try to judge me. You do not k ow me

you need to judge yourself, and realize you do not follow Jesus perfectly either. Until then, you will never understand us, or Paul

All you ever say is error

your one of the. most judgmental people I have ever met. You refuse to discuss, you refuse to listen, you refuse to try to understand what people are really saying, you just judge,

The Pharisees said the same to those who did not belong to their cult.

Your just like the pharisees, and you can’t even see it,

they preached the same maintain your own salvation by works you teach, and Jesus was not very kind to them was he?

Paul told us to continue to the end, OSAS have strayed off the path and created a false religion.

yep, he told us to continue to ru the race. Because we will never reach the finish line, Ie, do not ever think we made it, (which sadly to many think they have)

HE NEVER told us to do all these works to earn or maintain salvation, if he did, he contradicted himself

Keep going EG. Hopefully these insults from you all, will get you banned.

If you have not gotten banned due to all your insults.

we have nothing to worry about.

again, stop judging people and start listening to them.

and stop telling people to stop doing what you continue to do.

what I said was true, the bible is all about Grace and forgiveness, even in the OT, look what God told moses, how much mercy, long suffering, forgiving a God he was.

but he also said he will not let evil go unpunished,

yur issue isn’t you do not understand the word evil, you think it is certain sin, it’s not, it is any and all sin.

a person who commits one sin is evil in Gods eye, judged a sinner, condemned to death (the wage of sin is death)

but God showed great mercy, by sending his son, a man who knew no Evil, became sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (there is that evil impute concept you hate)

you think God is going to accept your d your many sins? Because you tried your hardest to be like him?

your mistaken

apart from Grace, you will not see God. No one will
