How is this false according to the bible?
The power of sin is the law(1Cor15:6) Or to put it exactly. The power of sin is the penalty attached to the law if you break it.
Physical death is a result of humanity being denied access to the Tree of Life due to Adam sinning. It is part of the curse God put on mankind.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and
now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
If God did not deny access to the Tree of Life then Adam and Eve would have had the means to perpetually sustain their mortal bodies. Man was never created in immortal flesh.
Paul is speaking of the translation of the Saints unto an immortal physical state makes reference to the sting of death being sin...
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Physical death is going to be swallowed up in victory (ie. physical death will be terminated). The root cause of physical death was the sin of Adam and the reason that the "strength of sin is the law" is that without KNOWLEDGE or INSTRUCTION of "right doing" one cannot "sin unto death."
Without knowledge one cannot be held accountable for wrong doing because vice and virtue are both a manifestation of the exercise of free agency. This is why God is just in holding us accountable for our sin.
Now Michael, I will show you how you just twisted the Bible...
The power of sin is the law(1Cor15:6) Or to put it exactly. The power of sin is the penalty attached to the law if you break it.
1Cor 15:55 does not say what you just said.
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and
the strength of sin is the law.
The strength of sin is the law itself. There is no mention of a "penalty" there. You added that to the text.
Now stop for a moment and think about that. You have clearly twisted the Bible with your words. You have clearly stated that the text says something that it does not say. Why? I assert that it is because you filter the Bible through the lense of an effectual delusion and probably don't even realise you are doing it. You want the Bible to be teaching a certain paradigm and thus your mind automatically filters verses and passages leading to you to conclude it is teaching what you want it to teach.
Anyway...
1Cor 15:56 is expressing the same sentiment as this...
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:8 But
sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Rom 7:11 For
sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
In the above passage Paul is speaking of spiritual death resulting from sinning. In 1Cor 15:55-56 he is speaking of physical death which is the result is sin.
You have in your mind this idea that the "sin penalty" needs to be paid for. You have to reject that notion, it is not in the Bible. You cling to it at your own peril for it forces you to twist the Bible as I just demonstrated.
Here is another example...
The Christian has a righteousness before God APART FROM THE LAW. You can only be guilty of sin unto condemnation through a righteousness of obedience to the law, for sin is the transgression of the law(1John 3:4) Therefore, if you have a righteousness apart from the law before God, Jesus died for all your sins at Calvary, past, present and future.
When the Bible speaks of "a righteousness apart from the law" it is speaking of righteousness obtained via a FAITH WORKING BY LOVE. Here is proof...
Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but
faith which worketh by love.
You reject that principle and exchange it for "trusting in the Penal Substitution provision provided by Christ's death on the cross." You are trusting in a FABLE Michael. The doctrine of this Penal Substitution Provision is a 400 year old invention of men. It does not exist in the Bible and that is why you cannot provide any scripture which actually teaches it.
You have bought hook, line and sinker into a false gospel message and you are entrusting your soul to it.
By Jesus paying the price of your sin at Calvary, he removed the true power of sin from your life(the penalty of sin)
Jesus didn't "pay the price of sin" at Calvary. That is a fable. You won't find that taught anywhere in the Bible. Jesus paid the price FOR YOU. Jesus PURCHASED YOU. The penalty of sin is still in full effect, it never went anywhere, it has not been paid. That is why we have to FORSAKE SIN and YIELD UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS which is the precondition for the penalty due for our past sins to be freely forgiven.
You are deceived into thinking that the sin debt cannot be applied to you because you trust in Jesus. You have been fooled.
Look at what I have written. I can so easily demonstrate how you twist the Bible. I can so easily provide passages and verses which absolutely refute what you believe. If you reject those passages you obviously don't really believe the Bible, you just lie to yourself in pretending that you do.
Do we then nullify the law by this faith(a righteousness of faith in Christ not obedience to the law) Not at all! Rather we uphold the law Rom 3:31
The reason faith upholds the law is because FAITH WORKS BY LOVE and LOVE FULFILLS THE LAW. If we love we don't steal, murder, lie, cheat etc. Thus the righteousness that operates behind the law is upheld. The law is but an outward expression of love. If we love we are no longer subject to the outward expression because we will manifest outward righteousness naturally.
I hope you are not to proud to honestly examine these things.
