Sin daily?

[ScooterJackson]

“Living in agreement with the devil” is an ambiguous term.

Only to those that don't understand what the Bible means when talking about walking after the flesh.

God is not mocked, if we walk after the flesh we shall of the flesh reap corruption (Gal 6) because sin in the flesh has been condemned (Rom 8)

There is scripture that speaks of believers falling away in the end times. One cannot fall away from something one had not ever received in the first place.

1 Timothy 4:1,2 - Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

2 Timothy 4:3,4 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine (teaching); but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Peter 2:1-3 - But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying (contradicting, Not agreeing with) the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness (idolatry) shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.

Jude 1:4 - For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (no self control, living after the flesh), and denying (contradicting, opposing Jesus’ teachings) the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (referring to false teachers and false brethren - Matthew 13:24-30)

I’m not “ reformed” although I believe they are right about most issues.

Then you are reformed meaning you are friendly with false doctrine.

Of course all Scripture relates to Jesus and His Work of Salvation in some way. But what you posted does not succinctly convey what THE Gospel of Salvation is. Paul DEFINES that message for us:

1 Corinthians 15​

​

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality​

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles, Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.


Yes, because, these dudes relied on THEIR works, and law following. "Lord, Lord, did WE not do this, and did WE not do that!" NONE of them said "Lord, Lord, did we not trust on YOUR finished Work, and Sacrifice for our sins?"

All this to say YOU need to help Jesus save you and keep you saved.

No thanks. I'll rely on Jesus for that, and for the Holy Spirit to continue to sanctify, discipline, and correct me to become more and more Christlike.
These guys relied on THIER works and law following to save themselves. "Lord, Lord, did WE not do THIS, and did WE not do that!"
NONE of them said "Lord, Lord, did we not trust in YOUR Finished Work, YOUR Sacrifice to pay for our sins!" Jesus answers He NEVER knew them. NOT, that at one time they were born again, and they didn't follow the Law, so Jesus disowned them. He NEVER made them His Child.

I don't think you understand what the word "proof" means. Proof is not "reliance". My reliance, is on Christ who not just took the penalty of the broken covenant, but also helps me follow Him. I love Him, and since He is King, I will obey. You can choose not to, that's entirely up to you.

To be born again means you're a completely different person. You CANNOT be a new person without following the law. You have to nail your sin to the cross. Sin is lawlessness and if you're still living continually in that lawlessness, you cannot be a new person. You're just the same person while claiming you believe in Jesus. Same as demons. Doesn't make you any different.

 

[Freed18]

Let me ask you something, how can you be a changed person without following the law?

How much of the Mosaic Law do you refer to ?
Which parts are Christians to observe ?

If you still lie, steal, cheat, bear false witness, take the Lords name in vain, curse, speed, covet, treat your neighbor poorly, don't give anything to God, don't help the homeless, the widow or orphans.

The folks doing those things are not Christians.
They have not repented of sin or been reborn of God's seed.

Don't celebrate God's own personal feasts He instituted,

The feasts were precursors that have been fulfilled by Christ's coming.
Having experienced the true Passover Lamb, I have no need to celebrating His forsages.

don't comply with what He says to do, how is that living in faith? Because you just believe Jesus is God and that's it? Even the demons believe. How does that make you ANY different? How does that make you an example of God's character? How does that show you are a child of God while actually acting like a child of Lucifer?

I am dead to the Law, by the Law...just as Paul explains in the first part of Rom 7.

The law shows us HOW to live and how to do it righteously. To argue against it, is to argue against righteousness itself.

Who was made perfect by the Law ?
Anyone ?
None...right ?
The Law was God's way to show man that he was evil and needed a Redeemer.
Well, the Redeemer has come, so men can live in love and truth.
We no longer need a Law to show us how wicked we were, as we are no longer wicked, if we are in Christ.

Matthew 7:22-23 is very clear. People can claim Jesus, people can claim God, even argue of proof of the holy spirit by performing miracles, but who does Jesus dismiss?

He dismisses sinners.

The law never goes away...

Is circumcision necessary for salvation ?

Then you are reformed meaning you are friendly with false doctrine.

You DO understand that many believe YOU promote false doctrine right?

 

[Freed18]

And on topics where Paul said it was his opinion, the Lord agreed with it and put Paul's opinion in scripture to be part of God's canon meaning Paul was led by the Lord in forming the opinions he holds.

If Paul had an opinion that was not in agreement with the Word of the Lord that would indicate Paul was not being led by the Lord and as such the Lord would have not put that opinion in His canon.

The Lord is the One Who controlled what went in to scripture in spite of man being involved.
If this was not true then the Bible needs to be burned.

Amen to that.
I like how Paul says..."If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." (1 Cor 14:37)

 

[ScooterJackson]

The folks doing those things are not Christians.
They have not repented of sin or been reborn of God's seed.

Yeah, they are reformed theology

These people go around saying they sin every day, they were born sinners, and they can't stop sinning.

You DO understand that many believe YOU promote false doctrine right?

I go by what the Lord says in His Word so I'm not called to follow the opinions of others.

That's how people get sucked in to reformed theology because they are worried about getting kicked out of their little social club where their friends and family go who accept whatever the reformers tell them having no idea what God teaches in His Word.

These people have been tricked by the devil to accept the religious wisdom of man as though it were the Wisdom of the Lord.

Amen to that.
I like how Paul says..."If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." (1 Cor 14:37)

Well don't tell the reformers that. They made up their own religion.

You can tell who the deceive ones are. All you have to do is say something negative about on of their beloved reformed teachers and they get all bent out of shape claiming blasphemy which demonstrates they follow men and have made idols out of them.

Idolatry run rampant in reforms and catholic circles.

 

[Delvianna]

How much of the Mosaic Law do you refer to ?
Which parts are Christians to observe ?

All the morality laws + Feasts. Same answer to both. When it comes to dietary restriction, I highly recommend it because there are beneficial reasons for it (not just health wise since God considered some people unclean depending on what they ate, so righteous too) but if someone wants to follow it, that's between them and God.

The folks doing those things are not Christians.
They have not repented of sin or been reborn of God's seed.

Then only Christians are following the law since that is IN the law.

The feasts were precursors that have been fulfilled by Christ's coming.
Having experienced the true Passover Lamb, I have no need to celebrating His forsages.

In the millennial reign, if you don't appear before God for Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), the entire nation doesn't get rain. (Zechariah 14) It's one the 3 feasts you're supposed to appear before God for. Even Jesus took part in the feasts. The last supper literally is the feast for Passover. Then you have another where Jesus read scripture in the tabernacle for Day of Atonement as he declared it was a Jubilee year as it was tradition to read that particular passage of Isaiah. If Christ continued celebrating, if Christ is the one who made those holidays, why do you NOT celebrate it but will celebrate pagan ones like Easter and Christmas?

Who was made perfect by the Law ?
Anyone ?
None...right ?
The Law was God's way to show man that he was evil and needed a Redeemer.
Well, the Redeemer has come, so men can live in love and truth.
We no longer need a Law to show us how wicked we were, as we are no longer wicked, if we are in Christ.

You're still following the law in order to repent for your sin. You can't repent without following the law.

Is circumcision necessary for salvation ?

It's a command and who is it for? Literal descendants of Abraham by blood only. So unless you're biologically of Jewish heritage, no. If you are and don't do it, it's a sin and you have to take that up with God himself.

I go by what the Lord says in His Word so I'm not called to follow the opinions of others.

And you are capable of understanding that’s what others would say about THEIR interpretations of Scripture right?

 

[ScooterJackson]

And you are capable of understanding that’s what others would say about THEIR interpretations of Scripture right?

The Lord is not leading me or instructing me from His Word to accept what others think about His teachings.

Christians are to walk in the Mind of Christ, not the mind of carnal minded men.
