Re: Nation of Israel

I made my point in Message 224 concerning the purpose of the law.

I have no clue what you are doing.

Re: Purpose of the law

Well you can tell everyone you heard it here first. Man in Romans 7. Toddling along either unconcerned about God and his law or thinking that by following the 10 commandments (for instance) that he is okay.

Unfortunately, I heard nothing.

Since you still don't seem to understand what Paul is talking about in Romans 7, your explanation made no sense and I see no biblical support for what I might have understood.

Still no path laid out.

Re: The case of Sheep v. Goats

quote:
if I do all these things that Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew, then .... I will have eternal life. Bible says so. Don't have to be concerned about faith. Don't have to listen to Romans, Galatians, John's gospel, Don't need Acts, or anything Peter preached, Don't need Luke. Everything right here in Matthew tells me I can be justified by being a good fella, which I have always been anyway.

No that is not what this Bible study is about and I don't believe Ringo was saying that either.

If you read the OP, the point is that right behavior is clearly part of the equation.

My goal with this thread is to share and learn. To really look at what the authors are writing and examine, if together, they truly support the faith-only doctrine or if obedience and good behavior are also required.

It is not saying that right behavior is the only thing required.

Since you have been a Christian for awhile, then you understand the importance of repentance.

This is not about justification for salvation. This is about final judgment day.

Do you truly feel that on final judgment day, those who supposedly have faith in Christ will be exempt from being judged by God?

High five maybe.

I got worn out with iano, I think you are doing great with jaywill.

I have yet to see a supported presentation that on judgment day actions will not be judged for those with faith.
