except that Paul separated the law and Sin and knew the difference between the 2 unlike yourself...
Well it don't really matter what you say I said...It matters what the bible says and that I agree with the bible :)

read it again!

Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 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.

You are thanking the Lord that you have a lying spirit in your mouth and growing in the ways of deception?
Im thanking God that I know the truth and that I am being persecuted for the gospel sake :)


2Co 4:1 ¶ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

If you call this persecution you dishonor the many Christians who do suffer it and die for it daily...

your self righteousness is from hell and you should be ashamed...

Well clearly persecution comes in many forms and always for the gospel of grace sake, again you honor me with your bitterness and clear hatred for the truth I speak :) Thank you :)

Joh 15:18 ¶ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Joh 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

Who is "they" in that Mitspa? You?
Are you kidding me man?

Do you really consider this persecution?
It says for righteousness sake....not self-righteousness sake.

Sad. (here's where I add a little frown face, like you would)

Self-righteousness is legalism friend....

Ro 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Are you so unbelievably arrogant....as to think that you have all the answers to all things God?
There are some smart people you battle with in every forum?
What is up with that?

No slight whatsoever towards you or Mitspa, but I sure have seen a few super-bloated egos here, and not all of them men.

Ro 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Sure it was.
But cool.

I agree. Sort of.
Ummm.........
I have never stated that I can not learn anything from anyone though?
Nor do I jump in threads and start teaching.
Sorry.......Big difference.
