no peter, wrong again. 2nd Corinthians 5. Titus 3. the entire book of Romans. Colossians 2.
also, we were DEAD in our trespasses. last time I checked, dead things can't do anything for themselves.
gb9 - It does not help your cause to simply lie continually about what I am saying.
How is it you have no integrity? I seek merely for the truth and how scripture and
church history have worked out.
The issue has always been people freely say "I have faith in Jesus" "I believe on the cross"
yet their lives often lead them astray and their desires get the better of them.
So though we as believers trust in the testimony we commit ourselves to there is still a
deep conflict within.
Now if one accepts once cleansed and forgiven we are pure and holy, then the question
is how are we deemed righteous even though we stumble. If this was not so, we would
loose our relationship with Christ. The key appears to be our faith is reconned as righteousness,
so a long as our faith holds strong we still have hope.
Our walk or righteousness is the fruit of our faith and relationship with Christ.
So to maintain our relationship we will repent and confess our sin and walk in a way pleasing to
our Lord because that likewise is the passion of our hearts.
Now in truth your opposition has been not to deny the theology but to continually lie
about what I am saying which suggests to me you have zero problem with sin and destroying the
very life, if you have any, with Christ. And this is what matters above all else, nothing is more
important, neither family, friends, work, society, life or death.
So I know who you are, so feel free to rail against me and what I am saying, because it will not
stop the gospel or Christ or His Kingdom. But God bless you, and may you find His truth that sets
you free from the bondage you are living under.
