Obedience REQUIRED

[Freed18]

The tax collector said, "have mercy on me a sinner" and did not claim sinless perfection. Self-righteousness is not obedience. It truly amazes me how everything that I explain to you just continues to go right over your head.

No OT man had the abilty to crucify the flesh and be raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.
We of the NT have that ability.

I think your very much mistaken about me, and your lack of compassion here and betrayal towards God's word is evident, There are numerous scriptures, from God centred around understanding are frailty and the spiritual warfare we go through, and how we can stumble when led astray. And when it comes to having a relationship with satan, that's not something I ask for, so why make fun of that and make out I'm having relationship with satan ? Gods children all suffer spirit warfare that's not welcome. Obviously you think your perfect on that front I bet

God has provided the admonissions and exhortations to keep us walking in the light-God.
Many will fall away from the truth before their lives end, because they refuse to heed them.

However your response is to see that as something I welcome, this shows your mean nature, and one that's doesn't care that much.

You lost me there.

You twist my words to make out I ment something else to when i never.
Mathew 26:41 mark 14:38 both tell us how the spirit is willing but human nature can be overcome by spiritual wicked forces, again that's not something we welcome.

I hope you realize that both those scriptures were from the time before Christ was killed, buried, and raised from the dead.
Since then, the "flesh" can be destroyed, and we can now walk in the Spirit !

And it again that can be something a new believer can struggle with, as Jesus is addressing this to believers.

Jesus was talking to OT Jews, not NT Christians

Keep putting on a show but God won't be mocked, eventually he will no longer here you if your not saved, coz I doubt you are saved

I still have a long time until I am raised from the dead, either to eternal life or eternal destruction.
If my name is in the book of life on the day of judgement, I will then say "I am saved".
Until then, I am just a convert.

Liar

You really must have some evidence, before you start casting aspersions.
I forgive you.

Freed18,
you are repeating yourself again, and in addition, flip-flopping your position. You are trying to weave my words regarding justification into your own conditional belief system. When (if) your foundational point of view completely changes, then post.

Is my agreement with what you posted so untasteful to you that you have to reply like this ?

 

[Freed18]

Dude, you just made mailman sad. He left a sad face because you are not a sinner like he is.

Please stick to the topic, and quit editorializing about what other do.
Thanks.

How long have you been in a comma? Oh sorry. You can't actually answer that

My turn from sin has been true for that long.
I thank God for all the tools He has provided for my, and othes', continued faith in His protections, guidance, healing, and love.

And the gnostics did the same, claiming they have never sinned.
So when someone is cleansed of all unrighteousness, you think they still have sin in them?

Seems like it ought to be at least a few minutes before they sin again since so many people think it's no possible to walk live in sin being a sinner that sins all the time claiming they just can't help themselves but to sin all the time everywhere they go.

I see you got banned. AGAIN.
