No, I don't teach that.... God's Word teaches that.
Your eisegesis teaches works-righteousness. God's Word teaches otherwise. (Romans 4:2-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9)
Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
In regard to walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh in Romans 8, Paul sets up a
CONTRAST between those who
live according to the flesh (unbelievers/false brethren) and those who
live according to the Spirit (believers). In verses 8-9, Paul clearly states - So then,
those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. See the contrast?
Walking according to the Spirit is descriptive of children of God. Those who are habitually dominated by the sinful nature (unbelievers) put their minds on the things of the sinful nature, but those who are habitually dominated by the Spirit (believers) put their minds on the things of the Spirit. If a person’s intent is to live according to the flesh, it’s an indication that he is not saved. Yet if a person, by the Spirit is putting to death the deeds of the body, it's an indication he is saved.
Romans 8:13 (AMP) - for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever.
Notice it said "thru the Spirit"??? Too bad you don't know Philippians 4:13
I know Philippians 4:13. I also know that you teach works-righteousness which explains a lot about your confusion and also about your anti-OSAS derangement syndrome.
Feel free to reject all the scriptures that martin luther and john calvin rejects.
You sure like to attack these guys. I think you need a better hobby.
That way you can prove yourself to be one of them... false teachers who lead people away from the Truth of God's Word.
You really enjoy judging and condemning others which also explains a lot. (Luke 6:45)
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
What spirit is leading you?
All the false teaches claim one can be right with God while doing sin which is NOT being lead by the Holy Ghost.
Hang in there bud... maybe someday you'll learn the whole truth!
You don't know as much as you think you do, bud.
