    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    In Romans 7:25, Paul said that he served the Law of God with his mind in contrast with serving the law of sin with his flesh, so the law of sin does not refer to the Law of God. Paul did not mention the sacrificial system in Romans 5-8, so you are making up something that you think fits the...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    Saying that I need to include Rom2:12 when quoting Romans 2:13 does not address Romans 2:13. Again, in regard to Romans 2:12, it is far preferable to be judged by the Law of God than to perish. I did read your response and did not see why you thought Romans 2:12 should be included in what I...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    Being judged by the law is far preferable to perishing. In Romans 2:6-7, those who persist in doing good will be given eternal life. Romans 2:14, Gentiles will by nature be doers of the Law of Moses. In Romans 2:17-29, Paul added those who were calling themselves Jews, in other words, he was...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    We both agree with what is stated, but rather we are discussing how it should be interpreted. When Paul referred to sin doing something he was speaking about the law of sin, that is speaking about the law of sin taking the occasion through the Law of God to cause coveting to increase. There is...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    A law that stirs up sinful passions in order to bear fruit unto death causes sin to increase and is a law that is sinful, however, the Law of God is not sinful but how we know what sin is (Romans 7:7), and when our sin is revealed then that leads us to repent and causes sin to decrease. So the...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    Paul was going back and forth contrasting the Law of God as the good that he wanted to do with the law of sin that was causing him not to do the good that he wanted to do. In Romans 7:22, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God, so verses that refer to something that wouldn't make...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    Rightly dividing the word of truth does not involve interpreting in a way that turns it against following truth and the Law of Moses is truth (Psalm 119:142). In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to...

    Dysfunctional Faith-Alone justification

    It worthless for you to repeat that I don't under the Mosaic Law and the NT while you are unable to show how that is the case. Do you agree or disagree that the Law of Moses is accurately described in the following verses?: Psalm 19:7-11 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of the Law of God, so there is an intrinsic connection between our gift of being saved from not being a doer of the Law of God and our gift of getting to experience being a doer of the Law of God and the key is to understand...

    Dysfunctional Faith-Alone justification

    In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so the way to believe in what Jesus accomplished through the cross is by becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the...

    The issue is that the works can be obeyed for a variety of reasons, such as in order to earn a wage, in order to embody our faith, in order to embody our love, in order to build a relationship, in order to experience a gift, in order to look good in the eyes of others, in order to take revenge...

    Outmoded Law

    Some people treat Christianity as if Christ has come to start his own religion, but he came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he spent this ministry teaching his followers how to practice Judaism by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in...

    Dysfunctional Faith-Alone justification

    God's character traits are eternal, so everything that God's covenants teach us about how to know God through embodying His character traits is eternally and cumulatively valid regardless of which covenant someone is under, if any. For example, God's righteousness is eternal (Psalm 119:142)...

    The Law or Good Works? What's the Difference...if Any?

    In Romans 5-8, Paul described the Law of God as being something that is the good that he wanted to do and the law of sin as being something that was hindering him from doing the good that he wanted to do. In Romans 6:14, Paul described the law that we are not under as being a law where sin had...

    I do not reject any part of God's Word, but rather I reject interpreting God's Word as speaking against following God's Word. The Law of Moses is God's Word and Jesus is God's Word made flesh, so the fact that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life does not nullify the fact that the Law of...

    If you think that what I said was partial truth, then show that to be the case. The Torah is truth (Psalm 119:142), so the is the truth that I uphold and you reject in darkness. I do not ignore those verses, but rather you conveniently ignore that I have responded to them.

    In Romans 7-8:2, Paul said that the Law of God is good, that he wanted to do good, that he delighted in obeying it, that he served it with his mind in contrast with the law of sin, which was working within his members to cause him not to do the good that he wanted to do, which held him captive...
