Did Jesus come to save the righteous or sinners?

Did Jesus offer His “Propitiation” for active sinners “while they were sinners”… or sinners that became obedient to the stone law?

1 John 2:2 How do you define the word “Propitiation”?
the stone law people call it will never change the new covenant will put it in yout hearts and flesh it is written;

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Galatians seems to talk about that. Why did Jesus "Magnify" the Law?
Because the Jews were making a mockery of it by making it legalistic. That's the whole point of the sermon on the mount.

Both. If I never sin again in my life I still need the righteousness of Christ to cover me because of all my past sins..


Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jesus paid the price of sin, Done!

I'm confused. What is your opinion of when Paul says we should cast the slave woman out? Mind you, I'm also creating questions to help deeper understand your logic, not to frustrate you. I do this frequently.

Have you ever tried to get a Calvinist to explain how God can forget a thing? It's like asking a computer what the square root of 2 is. :tearsofjoy:

So we understand that the law is not a simple set of instruction to be followed blindly like the pharisees did but must be followed from the heart, with love. First to GOD then to one another as Jesus said. In essence this is the new covenant to those who believe and do GOD's will, God said when Jesus was baptized this is my beloved son ;
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

and;
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Jesus is Lord and we, those who truly love him will do what is asks.

That one was just a joke. The Determinist believes that it is impossible for God to "not know" a thing. I Love Reformed theologians... it was more of a simple joke.

Would you say obedience is a Requirement of Salvation, or the result of saving faith?
What do you mean by saving faith?, to me Jesus was clear about blind faith, meaning believing and doing nothing about it, there is parable about it;
Luk 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luk 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Luk 13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
Luk 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

So to answer your question, both and more ( works). When you receive the Holy spirit as a gift from GOD because you believe, the Holy Spirit changes you and produces fruits according to the gifts and abilities received, from there you do the good works that the lords permits you do do according to his will. we all have opportunities do do good around us to show the Light imparted to us from GOD, we must not hide it but show it. This is who I am and trying to do, Follow Jesus teachings and apply them.

In any case salvation is given by GOD according to his good will, it is not given simply because we believe.

Blessings.

How much does a "gift" cost the receiver, before it is no longer a "gift"?

Actually... Galatians 4:30
it simply means the difference between slavery and freedom in reference to the law.

The law as followed like the pharisees, like a simple instruction book not requiring comprehension versus the law ( commandments) followed because we Love the Lord and want to obey him, please him. When it is well understood, we see the law as a blessing and it frees us from sin. It becomes a way of living it is simple yet difficult to do in this world. It requires patience study and prayer.

I will no longer speak on this matter with you, out of respect for your beliefs, until we meet on another thread.

All blessings in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to you

No problem so you know all I have written is according to scripture not from a personal interpretation.

Amen! Thats what people don't seem to understand about the law of Liberty i.e. the Ten Commandments James 2:10-12 it frees us from the bondage of sin that Jesus has done everything possible except live our lives for us so we can be free. He lived as our example to follow 1 John 2:6 and kept every commandment including the Sabbath Luke 4:16, He was tempted in every way just as we are Heb 4:15 but overcame. 1 Peter 2:21-22 So can we through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit John 14:15-18 Phil 4:13 Rev 14:12

1 Corinthians 15:56-57?
Now the sting (Genesis 3:1) of death is sin,
(Hebrews 2:14: So that by His Death He might break the power of him who holds the power of deaththat is, the devil)
and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory​
