Really? Well the law is not made for a righteous man, so you're admitting you do not have the righteousness of Christ accounted to you? :think:
Ah, the old Romans 7 and 8 controversy. You are the wretched man, sold under sin, doing what you don't want to do and unable to do what you want. :sigh:
"But concerning the flesh......" God be thanked, we are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Seriously, Daqq. You are so upset when others judge you, yet you do nothing but judge others. This is using the law unlawfully.1 Timothy 1:7-9
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Better if you could just be delivered from the LAW (Torah) completely, and be justified by Jesus Christ through the law of Faith. Boasting is excluded by the law of faith.....which means you wouldn't have to work so hard trying to convince others (desiring to be a teacher) on how to justify yourself. You would.......wait for it.....be justified by FAITH.Romans 3:26-28
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Making more false accusations does you no good and has nothing to do with what was said from the scripture. I did not use the scripture like a weapon against you but rather simply tried to show you what it means within its own context. You are using the scripture as if a weapon against me, which is not good by any means, and it merely shows that you only use it for your own private interpretations and use it against those with whom you disagree theologically. What I said about the Timothy passage is true, and now that you have quoted it, you confirm that you understood what I was talking about. But you apparently deny that evil dwells in the flesh just as Paul tells you in Romans 7. That is indeed the proper usage of the law and what it means to use it lawfully: all the evils that Paul mentions in the Timothy passage are evils that dwell in the flesh and need to be put to death, and if you notice he says, "and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine", so it therefore truly does speak of doctrine. You implying that you apparently have no issues with any of those things only reveals your self-righteous thinking concerning yourself. Do you not understand that evil thoughts, murders, blasphemies, false witness and a host of other things proceed from the heart and come forth out of the mouth? That is why the Elder says, "Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer", meaning that in the kingdom of Elohim you need not to have actually killed someone with your hands to be considered a murderer: all you need to be doing to be counted a murderer is to be hating someone, and especially someone who has told you the truth from the scripture, for that is indeed a brother whether you wish to admit it or not so as to save your skin. Why do you not believe the Testimony of the Messiah whom you claim to know and worship as God Almighty? If you truly believe he is God Almighty then why do you not believe his words and do as he says? Not only do you not use the law lawfully but you also use the writings of the NT, (mainly Paul), against those outside yourself whom you perceive to be your enemies. No one here is your real enemy because we wrestle not against flesh and blood and your enemies are those of your own household, (Mat 10:35-36 quoting Mic 7:5-6 referencing Deut 13:6-11), and that is a parable: your "father the devil" -vs- your heavenly Father, your "mother of harlots" vs your mother-(covenant) Jerusalem of above, your "son of perdition" -vs- your spiritual son of Elohim "inner man", a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. These things are all parables and sayings, and not intended to be taken as literally dishonoring your physical parents and family members, (for the Master clearly upholds those commandments in other places such as Mat 19:18-19).
Matthew 10:34-38
34 Think not that I am come to send peace upon the land: I came not to bring peace but a sword [macharia-sword of spiritual warfare, Rev 6:4].
35 For I came to sever a man from his father, and the daughter from her mother, and the daughter in law from her mother in law:
36 And the enemies of a man shall be those of his own household [Mic 7:5-6, Deut 13:6].
37 He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that does not take up his stake and follow after me is not worthy of me.
You have no power because you have a false Gospel and do not believe or understand the parables, allegories, sayings, and LOGOS-Reasoning of the Word whom you claim to know and worship as God Almighty.
