Ok....I'm really trying to work with you here. You say that Christ died to do away with sin. My question to you is WHICH sin? Which breaking of God's law did Christ do away with?
Sorry should have refered to this. If a Christian is not under law, he cannot transgress the law unto death, he is free, therefore he cannot be charged with sin, for sin is the trasnsgression of the law. So Christ paid the penalty of my sin at Calvary, so I am free, and if I am not under law I cannot be guilty of sin, if you see what I mean,For example....we still have people killing people; that is a sin!
We still have people lying! That is a sin!
So when you say Christ died so that a law could be done away with...since we still have some laws of God that are yet being broken...I propose to you that the one law that Christ did do away with..the one law that had power over us because it could not make us perfect, was the law of animal sacrifice. For the moment Christ died and His blood was shed...that law of God no longer held us captive. As a matter of fact, the veil of the temple was torn in tow so that there COULD be no more animal sacrifices.
the good and holy laws of God He would have us keep are still in place, ie the ten commandments(though I see the fourth as Paul wrote in Rom 14:5) but they are written on our heart and mind. meaning we automatically want them to be reflected in our lives, they are part of our DNA so to speak. When I first came onto websites like these I could not even remember all of the ten comandments, but for discussion read up on them. I found I already automatically wanted to follow them for they were written on my heart. I didn't need the literal law to convince me I should live that way. It is all about faith and love Paul said
Carry each others burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ Gal 6:2
He didn't tell us we had to look to each and every literal command in the Gospels and vstrive to obey them all
But although hey are there, Christ died for all my shortcomings at Calvary so I am not guily when I break them(but don't want to) if you see what I mean
So...trying to work with you here....What sin did Christ do away with when He died...seeing we yet have sin and God is returning to punish sinners...those that break His laws?
Christ is not returning to punish Christians for they are free, but bhis blood only covers the sins of Christians, not on non Christians

My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, my wife and I went to look after her during her illness. We loved her greatly. For three months we cared for her in her home. During this time I honoured her
didn't bear false witness against her
didn't steal from her
didn't want to murder her etc
Did I do all this because I looked to literal commandments and strove to obey them? No! I never even thought of them where my mother was concerned, it was because I loved her
Love fulfills th law
