How can being obedient to God be wrong?

OK. "MY" beliefs are Paul's beliefs. Why should tales of death peek my interest when I am alive in Christ? Those in Christ have been paid the wages of their sin with death. Those that have repented of sin and been water baptized into Christ's death and burial have been raised with Christ to...

I am grateful that it is just "many" and not "all things" that we wait for the answers to.

I can't identify with the flesh, because it is dead. It is written..."And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Gal 5:24) No flesh(ly mind), no vile affections, no lusts; ends up with no sinning. Thanks be to God. BTW...The real gospel is...Jesus died...

Or, just see it as it is and say..."Nothing is different."

As repentance from sin results in non-sinners, I am glad you understand the concept.

Define the difference between freedom from serving sin and freedom from sin. So the BOC, while not free from sin, will receive eternal life while still being servants of sin. That is quite the introduction of sin into Christ. And quite impossible. Of course not, as there is no sin in Christ...

It is not the Christians who embrace it.

Same thing. Freedom from serving sin equates to freedom from sin. So Gentiles, not free from serving sin, will obtain the promised eternal life while they continue to commit sin? It makes no sense. It puts the Jews under a different standard of behavior to the same God Gentiles serve. What kind...

Right division, in this case, has left some to remain a servant of sin.

He promised Israeli believers freedom from sin, but not us Gentiles? That is hardly fair, or just. Is "graced out" some kind of catch phrase? If I actually believed that I would be so jealous. I am, however, grateful to be grafted onto the "fortunate" branch. And to be free from serving sin.

Something lacking freedom from serving sin, isn't the truth Jesus said could free us from committing sin. Is "graced out" contrary to Jesus' promise? If so, thankyou for the warning.

Are you advising me to ignore all your postings, or just this one? No thoughts at all? Do you have another interpretation of John 8:32-34 that does not include freedom from serving sin?

Without receiving, there is no giving. "IT" has everything to do with what we do. You can go to the store and try to give ten dollar bills to folks all day long, but if nobody accepts one, you haven't given away anything. If we don't accept God's gifts, it profits us nothing. And by accepting I...

I believe in predetermination...in this way... If we do "X", it is predetermined what will happen to us. If we do "Y", something different is predetermined to be our outcome. I do not believe I was predetermined to do "X" or "Y". They are my choices.

Yep...All we have to do is accept it, along with all the other gifts from God. Like the gift of repentance from sin, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost, the gift of tongues, etc.

What you think of me and the words I use matters little. What is important, however, is what you think of the truth that can free you from sinning. It is written..."And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in...

If you need help understanding my posts, just ask, and I will try to clear up whatever it is that you can't understand.

As I know that the defense of sin is of no profit, I can understand your running away. BTW, "standby truisms" written by God's apostles are true.

I don't know how you got the idea I was being arrogant when all I did was post what Jesus said in Matt 6:24. That is why I wondered why you seemed you accuse Jesus of being arrogant when He never was. when it wasn't called for. There are no boundaries to the words of God. Love is measureless...
