    Saved by faith alone?

    okay, for awhile there you made it sound really extreme, we all stumble in various ways, but we still have to at the very minimum try to deal with sin as we go.

    actually I was trying to better understand the posters position on the matter.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Question just for clarity, since we'd have to know we sinned to repent and confess, then in your view is willful sin repent-able and forgivable? Does that mean if you don't know you sinned, it's automatically covered under Christ? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the verse about...

    Saved by faith alone?

    those were johns words, not mine, I'm still not sure what your getting at with willful sin though, I can sort see the logic of sin you didnt know about, but paul seems to differ and gives an interesting view. 14So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is...

    If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

    Saved by faith alone?

    how much does it really matter if you believe first or obey first if we need both? Isnt the decision to believe a small act of obdience in itself?

    Saved by faith alone?

    given how the chapter leads up to that point, I think it's basically saying you won't have one without the other.

    Saved by faith alone?

    for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus how far do we take this chicken vs the egg argument?

    Saved by faith alone?

    first, those are laws for the jews to follow, yes willful sin is more serious, but they are treated the same at judgement, and souls in those verses, just for clarity means person.

    gender of clothes, where to draw the line

    yeah intentions are important, during a heat wave the trend of men wearing skirts makes sense, as long s they aren't overly girly.

    gender of clothes, where to draw the line

    A popular world view is that clothes have no gender wear whatever you want. I Know about deuteronomy 22 5, and after reading Galations I gather the important thing is why the law was written, and did some interesting reading on the possible reasons such as forms of idol worship involving...

    Saved by faith alone?

    numbers is old testament under completely different covenant, and all sin can be forgiven, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. john1:9, animal sacrifice isn't needed anymore.

    Saved by faith alone?

    I'm inclined not to believe it's a thing but it should been noted, about the end of Mark's Gospel it apparently doesnt appear in all the early manuscripts. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/was-mark-16-9-20-originally-mark-gospel/

    Saved by faith alone?

    Im guessing he was refering to this For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that...
