these are religious types of today same principle though...just as the Pharisees perceived themselves to be righteous by doing religious ceremonies but still living in the bondage of iniquity, ..you seem to have a habit of resisting the truth in scripture at every point possible.....oh, and one enters into the sabbath rest of Christ by obedience from the heart through sincerity of faith..its not by magical covers...

agree, the forgone conclusion of the text is righteousness, or as Solomon said our whole purpose in life is to fear God and keep his commandments, of which the apostle Paul said was our reasonable service...Some perceive that obeying God is grievous and unreasonable, but Jesus said that His commandments were not grievous..go figure

A new version of the workers for.....
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise I will
not in that resurrection share
I trusted self and works over that precious blood and will never meet the Lord in the air.
Plenteous in number will be my lot as I get cast in despair
I should have trusted Jesus' blood and acknowledged him in prayer
The bible is clear faith saves eternally....to infuse works makes void the gospel of salvation and equates to a false, double cursed gospel with no power to save

You assume I am different from you. It is always God who deals with sin and it's effects in our lives.
You are a changed man, Amen, but do not assume anyone else is not like you.
Too many are assuming works salvation, when most are expressing the very faith you claim.
The best approach is to believe people are in the family before you disown them.
Our calling is always about being light to the Lord and the rest will take care of itself.
You appear to be saying you walk in love, so amen.

or possibly a person is growing into those things yet, and need the word in order to be watered and flourish. I know that 15 years ago, i wasnt very obedient, quite the opposite, but the seedlings of faith were there in my heart, and somehow the good Lord forgave all my sinful indulgence which was quite enormous and greivous. until the freedom began coming into view. I believe now days that i was Just an infant or toddler, and had alot of ignorance at that time, but i sure did feel Like i was gonna hear "welcome Home Son" even when my works hadnt been produced just a thought wb, always appreciate your posts just thought that idea was relevant. sorry to jump on your discussion with peter, God bless you
This question is the legalistic question, which they feel frees them from sin.
John says we sin because we are sinners, but if we abide in Him we will walk in love.
There is no fear in this walk because we abide in God, so why is there this strange new
theology about not being aware of sin, as if this is anything other than hypocracy.
What sin are these sinners bound by that guilt drives them to denial of victory?
And if they have victory why are they condemning so much believers to hell.
Maybe they never met the Lord before and truly were just religious.
All I ask is if the fruit of their new faith is to war with believers, what kind of faith
are they part of? The righteous walk righteously, yet this very idea gets a bad response.
So in truth they condemn scripture in their enthusiasm, which is not a good thing.

If we walk in the Spirit abiding in Christ we are not aware of sin, because it is not there.
The problem has always been people not seeing the cross and Jesus's love, being safe in
Him because the words were there in people born into the church but not in their hearts.
This is true in all fellowships, but it does not mean the teaching is wrong or some new
revelation has come, it is the difference of conversion, though for some apostacy.
The elect will always find a way through, so I just praise the Lord. It hurts some deeply
when friends die because of false hope that rejects medical support as unbelief, or
makes enemies of people one should encourage and love
God bless you
