I have merely clarified the subject verse of the statement made in the OP.
You have substituted the subject verse from the one intended---->>>>
Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin
for a verse of your own choosing and then condemn as a heretic the author of the statement without addressing the point made, which is
What do the words "will not impute sin" mean?
You have yet to answer this question.
Sorry, but you are trying to justify JP's herectical quote by Romans 4:8 which is about forgiveness of sin and imputed righteousness.
Romans 4:6-8
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without works,
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities
are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin."
But JP's quote is not speaking about past sins forgiven, but about being
set free from future sins after forgiveness of sins and God's
imputed righteousness takes place.
You are trying to justify JP's misapplication of Romans 4:8 to what he said here---->>>>
Quote #19:
“Did Jesus die on the cross to free us from committing sinful actions or harboring sinful thoughts?
If He did, then allow me to conclude with reverence that He failed." Chapter 5, pages 58-59
But Romans 4:6-8 is about having your past sins forgiven and having Christ's
righteousness imputed, not about Jesus
failing to set you free from sinful actions. What does
imputed righteousness look like in a born again Christian? If Christ's righteousness is truly imputed then you will be
like Christ, and you will be
set free from sin and also committing sinful actions and harboring sinful thoughts.
JP speaks of what he knows naturally, which is from the perspective of a carnally minded man who is still
in bondage to sin and still suffers from sinful thoughts and desires. His words about Jesus being unable to set you free from future sins and lustful thoughts are totally false.
