    Dead to the Law

    I have no idea what you're trying to say.

    Dead to the Law

    Not in so many words. But Romans comes very close... For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Ro 8:2) We have been set free from having to pay the wages of sin (which is eternal death) because by the Spirit we have received new life in...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    1 John 1:8 takes us back to my postulate... "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves" (1 Jn 1:8).

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Many people say righteousness comes through obeying the law. This is the opposite of Romans 3:19-20. Romans 3:19 says that the law shuts every person's mouth and causes them to understand they are guilty of sin before God. Romans 3:20 cites this as the reason that God will not declare anyone...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.” The New King James Version (Ro 4:6–8). (1982). Thomas Nelson.

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    The law is good. But it kills. And it can't give life, even though it promises life to those who obey. Saying these things is not speaking against the law. It is speaking the truth about the law. We can test that theory. 37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Good question. I wasn't thinking about those who put forward the doctrine of sinless perfection. I don't really see them as being in the same category as those who put forward righteousness through obedience to the law. But Bob's comment below causes me to question my reasoning. This surprises...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (Ro 3:19–20)...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    You are right, of course, but sometimes it is hard to let sleeping dogs lie. ;)

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    Your experience is similar to mine, though I do find on some occasions that my arguments resonate with people. I'm sure you and others experience the same thing. But I also feel like there are people out there who are reading and listening and not speaking. We don't know what impact our words...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    I would hope so. However, I do sometimes think that pushing back against false doctrines can also have an unintended negative consequence on the hearer (and onlookers). This can occur when a person who has accepted a false doctrine as true perceives a challenge as an attack on the truth itself...

    How Do You See 2 Cor 5:6 ?

    You could have just ignored my "graph". Instead, you ignored my commentary and my question. Why add this statement? I'm pretty sure you would appreciate the software that I use. I even considered buying you a copy to help you with your pursuits. But that is out the door now. Me too.

    Ultra Dispensationalism and Right Division

    His teaching on the law was that it allowed for no disobedience. He specifically said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." (Mt 5:48) This is in line with what the law teaches us, "You shall be holy; for I am holy" (Le 11:44, 45; 19:2; 20:7; 20:26; and...

    Ultra Dispensationalism and Right Division

    I agree with you that there are many within Christendom, both in past time and in present time, that see two gospels; one of grace and another of works. Most of them, however, attempt to marry the two together. Typically, they do this by making faith and works the same thing by saying faith...

    That was not me. It was someone else. Louw-Nida offers the following symantic domains for the Greek word ἐκκλησία. It is almost always translated, "church", even in the King James version. What might you be saying, that there is no such thing as "church" in the NT? ἐκκλησία, ας f a...

    Ultra Dispensationalism and Right Division

    The narrative in Acts only states that there were many Jewish believers who were zealous for the law. It never gives approval of that concept. If you disagree with that assertion, can you point me to where you think the Acts narrative signals that they rightly were zealous for the law? Also, the...
