1.Show me the scripture where the LORD God demands that I answer any/all questions. You won't.
2. Do not confuse your lack of reading comprehension skills, with any alleged failure on my part to address your trap, self righteous, Pharisee, disingenuine question.
Again...
What sin/sins?
Identify those sins for which He did not die. And, tell us, what happened, 2000+ years ago, by the dbr. Lay it out for us.
Religion/You: Do.
vs.
Christianity: done
Religion/you: Behave
vs.
Christianity: Believe
Religion/You: Try
vs.
Christianity: Trust
Contrasts.
Point number 1. Goes for me too! You were the one who questioned me first!
I'm only quoting what it says in the Bible, that Jesus came as an example for us to follow. That being that case, it's obvious we must follow his example and live it out and be doers of the word as he was, and not hearers only. If we don't follow his example, then people will see our flesh, and they won't see Christ in us and they will judge us on that. Once we are born of God and walk in the spirit, we should be bringing the word, love, life, forgiveness, mercy and compassion of God to everyone we meet, regardless of who they are, with the hope that Christ through us can bring as many as possible back to God and we can't do that and live by the will of our flesh, because others will only see our flesh.
I had a surprise meal this week for my birthday. And friends that I hadn't seen for years came, one of them who I see a bit more often believes in God and she has been to our house meetings and she has also been to many churches searching for what she believes is right. She said to me, that she's tried many different churches now, but none are like our meeting, she said many of those who attend are hypocrites, they speak words about God, but their hearts don't reflect him. Some are hard, some are back biters, some are self centered etc. etc. She said that there are a few who aren't like that, but not many.
She then said that she can't say that about our meeting, because she doesn't see those things in us, and why do you think that is? Because we are taught to obey God and do his will and we are taught that when the holy spirit shows us in our heart that what we are thinking or doing is wrong, he should be pricking our conscience and that is what we have to deny, ourselves, and by this we die to self by the works of the holy spirit. This is what Paul meant when he said "I die daily" he was dying to self, but he was alive in God. Without the holy spirit, we wouldn't know our sin and we would be dead to God and its all done through Christ who bore witness to the truth and was our perfect example to follow, he is our saviour, our cornerstone and each one of those who are living stones in his church should be reflecting his love light and life to those in darkness.
We are taught not to judge others in the flesh and we are taught that we should not to do any wrong that they do if we know it's wrong before God, but that we should always be there for everyone whoever they are, and just bring the love and word of God to them and he will judge, and we are taught to look at our own hearts first because there is enough wrong in our own flesh to sort out and it's only by Gods grace that we are being saved from our sins by the holy spirit every day, and that we should always remember what we were like before we knew God and Christ, and then we will know that we have no right to judge another. My conscience is now very strong and he pricks my heart always, then I have a choice, obey him or not. I'm not perfect, but the holy spirit is helping me to overcome and he's saving me from my sins and the lusts of my flesh every day and he's helping me to overcome them and I'm strengthened by Christ, without Gods love and grace and the life of Christ, I'd still be in darkness a slave to Satan living by my flesh and sining always with hardly a flicker of a conscience.
You say "what sins" if you can't see your sins then there's something wrong, because the holy spirit should be pricking you conscience every day. And if can see them and you carry on wilfully doing them, thinking that Jesus has done it all for you and you're ok, then that's between you and God as he's your judge and only God knows the whole of your heart.
