Not By Works

My post no. 74,190 will explain the above sinché you brought it up to me.
Let's be honest....I didn't totally agree with your friend.

I must say, however, that every church gets some things right.
And every church gets some things wrong. Is there a church you totally agree with?
I doubt it.

sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't mean to ignore your post...

knows nothing man is studyman's proper name. I asked him, never got anything, you agree with him, so I am asking you.

It’s not about being in total agreement with every church on everything, but we must be in agreement on essential Christian doctrine.

So who decides, YOU ? ? ?

I have found your theology VERY LACKING in Truth.

Ok so you are disobedient twice today, therefore you do believe in God?
Is that the case?

I answer all questions...but I don't understand what you're asking me.

Of course.
My point was that even the cc gets some things right.

I owe you one reply but I'm on a phone right now.....

Then your argument is with GOD.

Romans 3:20 (ESV)
20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight,
since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Malachi 3:6 (ESV)
6 “For I the LORD do not change;
therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

Oh for goodness sake Bill.
Are you serious?

LOL
So is yours!

BTW, you had said that the Ten Commandments were given to show we could not keep them.
Your above verses do not prove this.

You could try again.

I'm just checking cause we have had many on this site who say if we are disobedient then we do not believe in God, and they say even if it's once

That's crazy.
Everybody is disobedient at times. Perfection exists only in heaven.
This gets into sin. Everybody sins but some believe that saying this encourages sinning.
It's a whole different discussion.

The point is that we have to understand that God demands obedience.
If I say this and I get persons not agreeing and even being sarcastic with me, it must surely mean they don't believe it's necessary.

Being obedient is a necessary ingredient to being in the Kingdom, here.
Of course we miss the mark many times but that is our goal.
The goal can't be NOT to be obedient.

So I'm told by some that I'm wrong and that no one here says we should sin.

Then why do they debate if they agree!

I guess YOU decide.

Your above verse does not say that disobedience = lack of belief.

You could try again.
According to what you said in the previous post of yours, that means nobody believes in God.

what I am asking is this- you say the law is in multiple parts, some in effect, some not.

the greek word for law is nomos, which is only defined in plural 2 times.

so, since the Bible was not written in English, it was translated, do you have a translation that defines nomos as plural more than twice.

This is theology. Nothing to do with Greek.
Look up the different types of law in the OT.
Or, which OT laws have been abolished.
Easy.

well, since the first definition of nomos is the first five books of the Bible, i.e., the Torah, I see why you do not want to talk about language, because it seems like based on language , not under the Law means not under the Torah. all of it.

NO, You are disobedient WAY more than Two times a day:

1 Peter 2:13-16 (NKJV)
13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.



Speed even accidentally - YOU SIN.


LITTER or NO DOG LEASH - YOU SIN.


Cigarette buts are Litter too - YOU SIN


ILLEGAL PARKING, even if you do not
get caught - YOU SIN.


DO NOT PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG - YOU SIN.


JAYWALKING IS ILLEGAL WHERE POSTED - YOU SIN.


SPITTING In Public is ILLEGAL, and JUST PLAIN RUDE - YOU SIN.

And probably a whole lot of other Ordinances you just IGNORE.

The other day there was a man with an obvious Chest Cold, going into Walmart. He hacked up a large amount of Phlegm and spit it on the ground just before the entrance, AND 20 feet away was a handy wipe to wipe down grocery cart handles, AND A TRASH CAN. How RUDE is that?

Not under the law means we are not saved by the law but by grace.
No one was ever saved by the law. Even in the OT persons were saved by faith,,,God never changes.
There were 3 types of law in the OT times. Civil law, ceremonial law and moral law. The Hebrews, Israelites and Jews were expected to keep all three because they were part of their culture.


Jesus abolished the civil and ceremonial law and now only the moral law remains.
When we speak of the law today, it's commonly understood as the moral law, or the 10 commandments.
I don't know anyone who keeps the 613 laws.!
