Excellent...thank you for posting this. What I've seen on this thread is a huge effort to put us back under the Law. We must DO DO DO or we will LOSE LOSE LOSE.
They are enemies of the gospel Sis! It is these that Jesus condemned and that the apostles warned. God will forgive the adulterer. But the Cains He will not.

Are you a Jew? If not, you never were under the law. The law is only relevant to Jews. Ditto for the covenants.
But you are required to obey God. Everyone is require to obey God. And if you are disobedient you are deceiving yourself if you think you are justified. If you are disobedient, you are condemned. No excuses.
I'm justified, not by what I have done, but by faith in what Christ has done for me.
There are none righteous...no, not even those such as yourself who condemn others while coming far short of the glory of God, themselves.
Sin is disobedience to God.
If you say you aren't disobedient, you are a liar.
1 John 1:10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

If you are relying on your own righteousness, instead of the righteousness of Christ, you are relying on the wrong person.

It is a dangerous false "gospel" they preach....subverting the faith of those young in the Lord. The words "INJURIOUS" and a "persecutor" come to mind....such was Saul of Tarsus before the Lord stopped him on the Road to Damascus.
1 Timothy 1:12-14
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious:but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
What better tool could satan have than those who profess a faith which denies the Power of God to keep those who have been pulled from darkness into His wonderful light? Jason is one who keeps coming to my mind. How can he have such insight into Jesus being the One True God..and preach it well, while not recognizing the Promises?
Those such as CR, don't surprise me one bit...they're a dime a dozen. But, Jason? I'm holding out hope for him.
LOL! Not even Jesus, right dazed? Mary certainly could not have been and She was His mother.
Oh well.
Jesus was more than a man, CR. He is, and has always been, God.
God, alone, is Holy and Righteous. The rest of mankind can only be "counted" as such. That includes Mary.
Here's a perfect example. Have you ever considered "righteous" Lot? Read about Lot, and then explain to me why he is called "righteous."
2 Peter 2:6-8
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; )
