Reasonable Response To Christ - Justified By Works

[GracePeace]

You made a plain statement, now you are trying to backtrack away from, it. Anyone can quote the bible, it does not mean they understand the subject.
Rom 3:20 is echoed all over the place, including in letters written to gentiles, yet you say it only affects Jews.
Best go and study.

You misread what I said. Go check all of my posts, and see if I've ever said anyone was under Law, or whether I've CONSISTENTLY said we are NOT under Law.

 

[GracePeace]

Now you are contradicting what you wrote. You appear all over the place to me, bye

You misunderstood me. It's not more complicated than that. No wonder, either, that you apparently misunderstand the Bible. Sorry about the misunderstanding. It wasn't my intention.

How well are you doing the law?



Do you ever put anything before God in your life?

Do you ever build any graven images in your mind?

Do you always honour your parents without exception.

Do you ever looked at a woman with lust in your eye? (Jesus ratified the commandment)

Have you ever fibbed about anyone, or been untruthful about a person in anyway?

Have you dwelt on any impure thought?

Do you ever desire ANYTHING of your neighbours, whether material goods or a member of their household?

Do you fully obey the law relating to the inner man, the law only you and God need know you break?

Christ’s commands

If someone asked to lend from you would you gladly lend to them without ever expecting anything back?

If someone stole from you, would you offer them more than what they stole with nothing but love in your heart for them?

Do you not invite friends or family home for a meal, but rather the poor, blind, lame and beggars?

If you have ever fasted, have you even hinted to anyone you are fasting?

Do you truly in your heart love your enemies, those who may malign, harass or persecute you?

Do you leap for joy if you are persecuted?

Do you always truly love all those you come into contact with in thought, word or deed, constantly, including your enemies, those who may be unkind to us, persecute or harass us?



All examples of what it takes to obey the TC, Christ’s teaching and the second greatest commandment.

and according to the law. You had to do it perfectly.

Moses said, Cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word., Deut 27: 26
Paul said no one is saved by the law. And quotes what Moses said in gal 3.
James said if we keep the whole law, yet stumble in one point (in other words. we do not even have to do it willfully. we just stumble and trip and break one command) we are guilty of all

I am amazed that people think they can earn salvation.. when no person whoever walked the earth but one (Christ) could even come close to saving themselves. they would be cursed where they stand

None of these words changes the verse thar says if you don't walk in faith you're condemned Ro 14:23.

You can;t walk in faith 24/7

The Galatians were Judaized, and Paul pronounces the one who Judaized them "accursed".

No, He called them fools.

Nope, you wrote:
''Those under law are under grace''
Everyone can see it. To make such a statement shows you do not understand this subject. And frankly, it does not inspire me to spend much time correcting all of your errors in understanding
THOSE UNDER THE LAW ARE NOT UNDER GRACE, as frankly, all should know!!!

lol. He can;t get out of his own way

Nor can he live up to the standard he requires.

He does not understand grace nor does he understand Peace.. Yet it is odd he made this his name in this chatroom

None of those stressing law can live up to the standard the law sets. They either only have a very shallow understanding of what the law demands, or, they are wilfully insisting of others what they do not even try and do themselves. Jesus reserved his harshest words for the religious who acted that way

 

[GracePeace]

Yeah, no lost person can be saved by being a doer of the Law, but saved people can do the Law because God is working in them to will and do for His pleasure. Whose Law do you suppose His working in them fulfills? Paul says "that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according the flesh but according to the Spirit" Ro 8:4--walking in faith Ro 14:5 is walking in the Spirit, which is how the Gentile believers are deemed "doers of the Law" (who will be justified by that gift of righteousness they're walking in--God's righteousness--whereas those who don't walk in faith aren't abiding in God's righteousness, and face condemnation, not justification)

@uncle silas Read before responding (Proverbs 18:13).

people who try to get to God through the law usually do one of as few things

1. They water down the law so they can convince themselves they keep it (they do not drink smoke or cuss. they do not murder or watch porn, etc etc)
2. They are very judgmental. They accuse others, while refusing to confess their own sin (like the pharisee accused Jesus)
3. They end up walking away. Because they realize deep inside. its all a lie. they can not keep Gods promises. so why bothers.

Jesus said he came to give rest. based on Grace.

and with this rest. he offers peace.

there can be no grace or peace when we are under law. Only as paul said in Romans 4. The law brings wrath.
