To repent: turn away from your sins, doing everything you can to forsake them.
Why are you lying? That is not the definition of "repent."
Why would you lie?
To repent: turn away from your sins, doing everything you can to forsake them.
● Jesus said, “He who (really) loves Me will obey My commandments.”
Loving God is one of the 2 qualifying conditions for a person to be
foreordained, predestined, called, justified, and glorified (Romans 8:28-30).
The word of God is much easier to learn from than by hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Why should I bother? You have no ear to hear.
You're still trying to mix law and grace.
Abraham only had circumcision .
Gen 17:13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your silver, must be circumcised. And My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.
by faith
...it's about circumcision. It's about not of circumcision.Rom 3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Rom 4:13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
We are given the spirit of God not the law.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father!
That is your rebuttal to my saying Abraham obeyed God and that circumcision was a sign of a covenant?
Read this scripture and see why Abraham received from God what he did:
Genesis 22:18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Did you read that?
Genesis 26:4-5I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws."
No.The Spirit of God is given to those who obey.
Abram was declared righteous by faith not by any works that he did.
Gen 15:6 And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Yeah, that's what I thought >>> Why should I bother?
Obeying God isn't an old law.
The words of God are Spirit.
Abram was declared righteous by faith not by any works that he did.
Gen 15:6 And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
No.
you give no evidence , so neither will I
The only working we're doing is being obedient!You and GT are two pigs in the same poke...working for salvation. Work away......
Yes, Abram's faith was not enough ... he also was obedient.Abraham's faith was alive because he believed and obeyed.
James 2:20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did
Are you keeping the law of Moses as Jesus commanded?The only working we're doing is being obedient!
Obedient to the word, and obedient to Jesus' commandments!
Of course, we are to keep the Ten Commandments.Are you keeping the law of Moses as Jesus commanded?
The law of Moses is a LOT more than the 10.Of course, we are to keep the Ten Commandments.
Jesus was also saying that obedience is the correct heart attitude to have.
Hey, if you wanna find fault with Jesus, and His statements,The law of Moses is a LOT more than the 10.
