Dude, you can not obey either of them in a way God demands. Thats where you fall on your face.
No. Titus 2:11-12 says that God's grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.
The law of moses is only no longer in effect to those who have been born of God. It still is in effect for you my friend, because it has not led you to Christ. You still think you fulfill it.
No. The Law of Moses is no longer in effect as a whole contract or Covenant for nobody today. Yes, the moral laws have been carried over from the OT to the NT, but nowhere does God require unbelievers to make animal sacrifices to him in a temple. Nor does God require believers to do so, either. The Law of Moses is no longer in effect for anyone anymore. Only the Commands of Jesus and the apostles are binding for the believer today. Paul said if any man teaches contrary to the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of Godliness is proud and he knows nothing. Paul said that what he had written should be considered as the Lord's Commandments. Commandments are Laws. Hello?
Those who are born again do do this. in fact they do not have to be told this, because it is their deepest desire.. to please th eone who saved them.
Then why did Jesus tell believers to forgive or they will not be forgiven in Matthew 6:15? Or do you think Jesus was speaking to unbelievers? How woud that message even help them? They first need to repent and accept Christ. So Matthew 6:15 would just go in one ear and out the other if they are not thinking of being a believer. In other words, the message only applies to believers and that means one can be unforgiven if they do not forgive. It's a Conditional Promise.
WHy do you refuse to do it? just because you do not do your pet sins you think you are ok? Yet you excuse all your other sins, pride is your biggest downfall. and pride is of the world.
False accusations is not going to help you when you have to stand before Christ and give an answer as to why you did not keep His words (If you choose not to keep them). For John 12:48 says that if a man rejects his words, then those very words will judge them on the last day. For all professing believers today who believe in Jesus will not remain in Christ's Kingdom if they continue to do do sin or iniiquity. Matthew 12:41 says that the Son of Man will send forth his angels and remove all who offend and do iniquity in His Kingdom. This would be any believer who thinks they can sin and still be saved. They will be removed from Christ's Kingdom. Remember the weeds? We were not supposed to yank them out until both the wheat and the weeds had both grown together until the final harvest (Which is the Judgment).
lol. ALL sin leads to death my friend, see how you excuse your sin because it is not the one you think causes death?
No, 1 John 5:16-18 says there are sins that do not lead unto death. There are hidden and secret faults (Psalm 19:12).
James said you break thr LEAST OF THE LAW (the smallest sin one can ever commit) you are found guilty of the whole law. and what is the penalty for breaking the law? DEATH!
James is talking about those Commands that relate to one's spiritual status with the Lord. He is talking about respect of persons (Which is showing forth a lack of love towards another). For John says that if we are to hate our brother, then we are a murderer and no murderer has eternal life abiding in him (1 John 3:15). Thus, James is talking about those sins or commands that relate to keeping one's good standing with the Lord.
the pharisees thought the same thing, that is why they could not come to Christ on Christs terms, and were rejected by Christ.
No. The Pharisee's problem is that they ignored the weightier matters of the Law like justice, faith, and mercy (Matthew 23:23).
It was made for you my friend, a sinner, (who like the pharisee does not realise he is a sinner) who has yet to be saved by grace, because you reject grace.
The problem is that your version of grace makes you out to be the villian of the story and not the good guy. You can do evil and sin and yet still make it into Heaven even though you say you also promote holiness somehow (Which I really do not see). For you teach that the believer is a currently a sinner saved by God's grace. But that is not what the Bible teaches. One cannot continue in sin so that grace may abound. Paul refutes that type of thinking in Romans 6.
