The social gospel?

[Lizbeth]

Incorrect-you are butchering the Scriptures--

GOD PREACHED TO ABRAM BEFORE
Note this most interesting and important statement: “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, in thee shall all nations be blessed.” Galatians 3:8.

Read it again. God preached the gospel to Abraham “BEFORE”. Before what? Before He added the law. Note what Abraham did, and what God did. “Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Galatians 3:6. When God preached the gospel to Abram (in uncircumcision) the Scripture foresaw that Gentiles would be, saved, from Paul’s time down to the present, without religion or law. Note Galatians 3:17: “And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.” So we see that 430 years before the law was given the gospel of “righteousness by faith without the deeds of the law” was preached to Abram. Then what? Then the question:

“Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hands of a mediator.” Galatians 3:19. To what was the law added? It was added to the gospel which God preached to Abraham, 430 years before. Which covenant abides and which covenant has been done away? The Abrahamic covenant abides: the Mosaic covenant has been done away. The gospel abides. The law has been done away. “For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.” “And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished. “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which is done away in Christ.” II Corinthians 3:11, 13 and 14. Note II Corinthians 3:14 – “the Old Testament is done away in Christ.” Note the same truth in Hebrews 8:13. “In that He saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”

Let us change Galatians 3:19 to read the law covenant, which was made old by Christ’s death on the cross, was added to the Abrahamic covenant which God made with Abram 430 years before He made the law covenant with Israel, through the mediator, Moses. It was added till. Till when? Till the Seed promised to Abram and Abraham came. That Seed was Christ.

The word “covenant” is the same as the word “testament”. God entered into “covenants” or “testaments” with the human race before Moses received the law covenant for Israel, about 2500 years after Adam sinned. Moses received the testament, called “the Old Testament”, several centuries after the event recorded in the last verse of Genesis. Note that event; “So Joseph died being an hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.” Genesis 50:26. So Joseph died some years before God made with Israel the covenant now called “the Old Covenant.”

Mark well that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Levi, Joseph, and all of the other sons of Jacob (Israel) had died before God gave the (old) covenant to Israel. Therefore, we greatly err when we call any of these men Old Testament characters, or the Book of Genesis “the Old Testament Scripture.” They lived during that period, “from Adam to Moses”, “when there is no law”.

From about 4000 B.C. until about 1700 B.C., that is, for about 2300 years, there were no Israelites. From about 4000 B.C. until 1500 B.C., “from Adam to Moses”, the Old Testament was not in effect. There were covenants, but not that covenant, which became “Old”.

THE LAW IN CHRIST JESUS
The truth for us is clearly stated in Romans 8:2 to 4: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Note the three laws—“The law of sin and death”—”the law of Sinai” and “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus”. The law of Sinai could not deliver from the law of sin and death. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus can and does. And the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus delivered believing Israelites from the curse of the law of Moses. Romans 7:1 to 6.

The sum total of man’s spiritual responsibility to God is to:—

1—Appropriate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

2—Demonstrate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

3—Propagate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

We first believe and appropriate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Note how this law is stated in II Timothy 1:10 and Romans 8:4.

“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

That law enables the believer to live Christ.

The believer is expected to demonstrate that law by walking daily in newness of life. “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:4.

Then note Galatians 5:22 to 25: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW.

Amen....FAITH was before the Law. He is not wrong about everything in a way, but, unless I'm mistaken, unfortunately Epi seems to be attempting to bring us back under the Law by forgetting or ignoring that the blood of Jesus cries better things than that of Abel. This little thing called MERCY. Comes back to the foundation again from what I can see.

 

[APAK]

Outstanding! This false claim is being stated in several threads simultaneously. Thanks for this post and verse.



Agreed. Fortunately, I will not see his reply to your post here because I put him - and his darkness - on ignore.

Hey Wrangler, I guess I want to chime in at this time, as you might already know that Epi is spewing out some really outrageous claims, required to support his grand personal doctrine he has built over the years, and it's still changing.....

You might be wearing high rubber boots by now because the BS is getting laid down thick...

(Rom 3:21) " But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets- "

We ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW PERIOD! If Epi keep saying it then he has not shown it in scripture, because it's not there. HE NEEDS it to be true to support his grand(e) doctrine built on sand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little long winds here as I will look at this subject and the similar/same one, that we are NOT under the law of Sinai.

Rom 3:30 since God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised by faith. NOT EPI's works as HIS condition of some alien form of salvation.

Rom 3:31 " Do we then make the law of no effect through faith? God forbid. No, we establish the law."

We establish the law...and what does that really mean here in context?

Believers under grace do not establish the law as a means of justification or salvation. Instead, they understand that the law serves as a reflection of God’s character and a guide for living a life pleasing to Him. Here are some key points to consider:

• The law is not a means of salvation: The law cannot save us because it is impossible to keep it perfectly. Romans 3:20 says, “For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.” Instead, we are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:24-25).
• The law is a reflection of God’s character: The law reveals God’s character and His desire for a relationship with us. Psalm 119:1-3 says, “Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—those who also seek him, delight in him and live in his ways.” The law shows us what God’s heart is like and what He desires for us.
• The law is a guide for living: The law provides guidance for living a life pleasing to God. Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17). The law is not abolished, but it is fulfilled in us through faith in Christ.
• The law is written on the heart: When we come to faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit writes the law on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). This means that we are given a new heart that desires to obey God’s law and live according to His character.
• The law is a means of sanctification: The law is not just a means of justification, but also a means of sanctification. It helps us to grow in our relationship with God and to live a life pleasing to Him. James 1:22-25 says, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror, for he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of liberty and abides by it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing, and he will receive the blessing of God.”

In summary, believers under grace do not establish the law as a means of justification or salvation. Instead, they understand that the law is a reflection of God’s character, a guide for living, and a means of sanctification. They are motivated to obey the law because they have been given a new heart by the Holy Spirit and desire to live according to God’s character.

--------------and more prose for the same Epi Sinai accusation to all genuine believers....

According to the biblical passages, believers are not under the law of God from Sinai. Instead, they are under grace. This is evident in Romans 6:14, which states, “For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”

The Law and Sin

The law, as given through Moses, was a system of rules and regulations that governed the Israelites’ relationship with God. However, this law was not able to save them from sin, as they continued to sin despite knowing the law (Romans 3:20). In contrast, grace is the unmerited favor of God, which is received through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Believer’s Relationship with God

As believers, we are no longer under the law, but under grace. This means that we are not bound by the law’s requirements, and we are not judged by its standards. Instead, we are free to live according to the Spirit, who guides us and empowers us to live a life pleasing to God (Romans 8:1-4).

The Role of the Law

While believers are not under the law, the law still plays a role in the Christian life. The law serves as a mirror, revealing our sin and our need for a Savior (James 1:22-25). It also serves as a guide, providing wisdom and instruction for living a life that honors God (1 Corinthians 9:21). However, the law is not the means by which we are justified or saved; rather, it is faith in Jesus Christ that sets us free from the law’s curse and enables us to live a life of freedom and joy in the Spirit.

Have a great day Wrangler!

 

[Behold]

Epi seems to be attempting to bring us back under the Law .

Correct, Now you see it.

 

[Ritajanice]

Those are disciples, not Born Again Christians.

See, until Jesus died on the Cross, there was no SALVATION, no 'Christianity"...

This means that when a "disciple" or a follower of Jesus, decided to no longer do that, then for them, it was like being a follower of Buddha.. as they were no Forgive their sin, and they were not born again Yet.

Now, AFTER you are born again, you are always born again...........so, how you behave.........has no bearing or consequence regarding the "NEW BIRTH".

A.) You can't stop being born again.

A Born Again is a disciple of Christ...we are appointed Sons/ Daughters..we were chosen and follow the Lord as his disciple.

Who said you can stop being Born Again?

Your understanding of Born Again is very different to mine.

As a Born Again the Holy Spirit is the one who works in our heart to bear Jesus fruit...your behaviour should change if you are Born Of God’s seed?

You will know them by their fruit @Behold .

Matthew 7:16-20​

​

King James Version​

​

​

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

 

[Episkopos]

Jesus fulfilled the law, and because the born again are "IN CHRIST", then what He has fulfilled is accounted (imputed), to US., as a "GIFT" from God.

Reading skills aside, will you acknowledge Paul's words? We are the ones who fulfill the law through the power of Christ. Paul says this and you ignore him and then lie. You call Paul a worker of self? You are too dishonest for that. Instead I post what Paul said and then say I'm the one who wrote it? How can anyone be as dishonest as you are?

You say...what Jesus fulfilled is then accounted to us. Which is as false as can be.

Notice what Paul says.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 8:4


now read it again...


That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 8:4

Now if I wrote that you would say I'm promoting a gospel of works. But Paul is simply saying that grace fulfills the law...it empowers us to walk as Jesus walked.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 8:4

Do you understand this yet, Mr Calvinist who is Mr Law Keeper, self proclaimed?

Everything that God requires of US... we can't produce..

False. We can walk in the Spirit like Jesus did and overcome as He did. That's the gospel.

See, the LAW Demands from us, Righteousness, and we have none...........as "all have sinned, and there is none righteous.. no NOT ONE".

Of ourselves we can do nothing...being dead in trespasses and sin...as you continue to be, only religiously puffed up into cloud cuckoo land.

So, God provided "the Gift of Righteousness", as "Christ fulfilled the law, and died for the sin of us all"......

This is the Grace of God, that is found as "The Cross of Christ", which you blasphemously defined as "Whipping Boy"... @Episkopos .

You continue to use Jesus as your scapegoat...not realizing that you are an enemy of the cross. You are caught in God's net...He catches the ones that sneak around and try to get in another way than through the narrow door of an actual encounter with Christ.

 

[Behold]

We ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW PERIOD! If Epi keep saying it then he has not shown it in scripture,

He is a Calvinist, who is trying to keep the law, and he teaches this odd "walking in Zion, but not in the outer man".

So, the "Zion" part is "mormon" doctrine, the "outer man" is "good guess" "who knows" and the Law Keeping and Calvinism, is just their deception.

 

[Behold]

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 8:4

To "walk after" is NT (KJV) terminology for "become a part of"..

So, to Walk After "the Spirit", means that the person is become "in Christ", as "Christ is THAT Spirit".

And because Christ has fulfilled the law, then this means that being "in Christ" is to have become :

"As Jesus is so are the born again, in This world".

That means the born again are "the Righteousness of God, In Christ". = Forever.

The Born again exist in the KOG< and there is no LAW or 10 Commandments found there, as these are for UNBELIEVERS, who live down here.
So, when you try to put the Law on those who exist in the KOG< "IN Christ" "ONE with God", you are proving just how far you are removed from any understanding... regarding.. what The Cross of Christ and the Gift of Salvation, has provided the BELIEVER, born again. .. @Episkopos

In walking after the spirit we do fulfill the Law, nobody is saying otherwise. That is not the point of contention here.

LOL More comic relief. Hey Apak, your sense of humour never stops.


(Rom 3:21) " But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets- "

A higher righteousness has been revealed than what we can do under the law. God's righteousness flies over the law as it the law comes FROM God and His righteousness. Only God's righteousness can fulfill God's law. That's why we are to seek first the kingdom of God in Zion..AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. We are to seek for it...not assume and presume or name and claim. Above the law there is no sin. Sin is only found under the law.

So you have to do a study on over and under. I suggest Sesame Street for this.

God is OVER the law. We are under the law. See, over and under. When we walk WHERE God is...in the kingdom realm in Zion we walk OVER the law....we are UNDER grace there. We are not as High as God is...no, but we dwell in a heavenly place under grace. As such we ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW.

But to be under grace means we no longer sin...we walk in His life and power...the power that resurrected Jesus from the dead.

Apart from the law? The law provides NO POWER to fulfill it. That is accomplished by grace through faith.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little long winds here as I will look at this subject and the similar/same one, that we are NOT under the law of Sinai.

False. We establish God's law by faith and fulfill the law by the Spirit.

Thank you for coming onto this thread and breaking wind.

 

[Behold]

Your understanding of Born Again is very different to mine.

Born again..:

"forgiven all sin" so that the believer is then spiritually birthed by the Holy Spirit as = "in Christ", as "one with God", having become a "new Creation".

The Holy Spirit causes this, when the Believer gives God THEIR faith in Christ.

Noone is Born again first... to then be able to believe in Christ, after they are born again.

 

[VictoryinJesus]

Hey, there is a guy on here who claims he knows now to divide the word of truth.

Think about the magnitude of this statement “Hey, there is a guy on here who claims he knows now to divide the word of truth.”

I’ve heard “to divide the truth” countless times used for how smart a person is concerning the word. Concerning which “theology” is right. Who “cuts” it right? Until I read this…

Isaiah 58:7 Lexicon: "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

I don’t know about you. But concerning the Son of God who broke bread on the night He was betrayed…saying this is My body broken for you…that one verse seems to capture the heart of what is to divide the truth. To divide your bread with the hungry…even His saying “do this in remembrance of Me.”

 

[APAK]

(Rom 3:21) " But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets- "

A higher righteousness has been revealed than what we can do under the law. God's righteousness flies over the law as it the law comes FROM GOd and His righteousness. Only Gpd's righteousness can fulfill God's law. That's why we are to seek first the kingdom of God in Zion..AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. We are to seek for it...not assume and presume or name and claim. Above the law there is no sin. Sin is only found under the law.

There's no HIGHER righteousness Epi, now stop it already. You are still embarrassing yourself.,oh well

 

[Episkopos]

There's no HIGHER righteousness Epi, now stop it already. You are still embarrassing yourself.,oh well

If you knew God you would see a higher righteousness than our best efforts at fulfilling the law.

 

[Ritajanice]

Born again..:

"forgiven all sin" so that the believer is then spiritually birthed by the Holy Spirit as = "in Christ", as "one with God", having become a "new Creation".

The Holy Spirit causes this, when the Believer gives God THEIR faith in Christ.

Noone is Born again first... to then be able to believe in Christ.

No, God gifts us faith like a mustard seed, plants that seed of faith into our spirit, when he makes us his spirit child.

We know God by the faith that he gifted us into our spirit, there it will grow...because God planted his seed into our hearts..made us Born Again exactly as his penned word says.

We know God in our spirit, not our intellect or by reading a Bible.

Faith is a manifestation of the Spirit, just as Gods word says it is..

 

[Behold]

A higher righteousness has been revealed than what we can do under the law.

@Episkopos .....You can't "DO" any "Righteousness" under the Law, as its the law that defined you as a SINNER, as "none are righteous"., because "ALL have sinned".

Your "trying to be righteous"... theology is not based any understanding regarding why Jesus died on the Cross, so that God can give the BELIEVER..

"The Gift of Salvation"
"The Gift of Righteousness"
"The Gift of Eternal Life".

Try to understand that the Born again, are to do "good works", because they are "made righteous", always., because they have received "the Gift of Righteousness".

 

[Johann]

Amen....FAITH was before the Law. He is not wrong about everything in a way, but, unless I'm mistaken, unfortunately Epi seems to be attempting to bring us back under the Law by forgetting or ignoring that the blood of Jesus cries better things than that of Abel. This little thing called MERCY. Comes back to the foundation again from what I can see.

Amen. Indeed, faith precedes the Law, as exemplified in Abraham's righteousness through faith before the giving of the Law (Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3). It's essential to recognize that while Epi may have valid insights, there is a risk of misunderstanding if we neglect the foundational truth of Christ's sacrifice and the principle of mercy.

The writer of Hebrews reminds us that the blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel, symbolizing a superior covenant based on grace and mercy rather than the condemnation of the Law (Hebrews 12:24). Mercy, rooted in God's character, is foundational to our faith and salvation, underscoring that we are justified by faith apart from works of the Law (Romans 3:28).

Returning to legalistic practices undermines the freedom and efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, risking a misunderstanding of the gospel's central message of grace (Galatians 5:1). As believers, our focus should remain steadfast on Christ, who fulfilled the Law and brought us into a new covenant of grace and mercy through His sacrificial death and resurrection (Matthew 5:17, Ephesians 2:8-9).

In conclusion, while recognizing elements of truth in Epi's perspective, it's crucial to uphold the foundational truth of Christ's mercy and grace, which surpasses the demands of the Law and forms the bedrock of our faith.


And---it's crucial to remember that a little leaven leavens the whole lump, as mentioned in Galatians 5:9. This metaphorical warning suggests that even a small amount of incorrect doctrine or behavior can have a significant negative impact on the whole community or belief system. Similarly, the command to "test the spirits" in 1 John 4:1 emphasizes the importance of discernment in evaluating teachings and leaders.

When someone appears to have things "backwards" in their preaching, it typically implies a deviation from fundamental biblical principles or the true gospel message. This can include misinterpretation, neglect, or distortion of core doctrines such as salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9)!!

He despise correction!

Not Being Apt to Teach:
1 Timothy 3:2 (ESV):
"Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach."
Explanation: This passage outlines the qualifications for overseers or bishops in the church, emphasizing that being "able to teach" is a crucial requirement. It implies that those who are not apt to teach may not be suited for such a role.
2. Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth:
2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV):
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
Explanation: Paul exhorts Timothy to correctly interpret and teach the Scriptures. "Rightly handling" or "rightly dividing" the word of truth involves accurate teaching and sound doctrine.

3. A Little Leaven Leavens the Whole Lump:
1 Corinthians 5:6 (ESV):

"Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?"
Explanation: Paul uses the metaphor of leaven (yeast) to illustrate how a small amount of sin or false teaching can affect the entire community. He calls for the removal of sin to maintain the purity of the church.
Galatians 5:9 (ESV):

"A little leaven leavens the whole lump."
Explanation: Similar to the passage in 1 Corinthians, Paul warns the Galatians that even a small amount of false teaching can corrupt the whole group, emphasizing the importance of doctrinal purity.

God bless and stay strong in Christ Jesus sister.

First we have to know the Living truth by Gods Living Witness His Living Holy Spirit.

I don’t need to divide the word..I know God’s truth in my heart/ spirit....he chose me for his purpose and plan...not for my purpose and plan.

Discernment comes from the Spirit within our spirit...who is the one who teaches falsely?

Not me..only the Spirit can discern false prophets to my spirit and he does.

 

[Behold]

No, God gifts us faith like a mustard seed,

Paul says you are not understanding "faith".. and you are teaching Calvinism again and again @Ritajanice

Notice.

Romans 12:3

""""""For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every person the measure of faith"

"every person = the measure of faith"
"every person = the measure of faith"
"every person= the measure of faith"
"every person the measure of faith"
"every person the measure of faith"
"every person the measure of faith"

NOT, only those who are gifted with faith, the liar John Calvin teaches..

 

[Behold]

I don’t need to divide the word.

He chose you to "not divide the word"??

No doubt you believe that., as your posts prove it, over and over.

Nonsense he gives us each a measure of Faith..different measures of faith.

I am teaching the word of God only you don’t understand that faith is a manifestation of the Spirit.

God given faith...that will grow because it was God given.
