Nick,

All those that in following the true gospel are immersed in water receive the clothes but it is only those that strive through faith to obey the instruction to put on their new man that are clothed with Christ. Those that all clothed in their old self are not clothed with Christ for he is alien to Christ. (Ephesians 4:17-24)

Nick,

In your post that begins “Under the law mortal men made sacrifices for sins” you are essentially claiming that Jesus Christ chose to sacrifice himself to save animals from the first death. You also make to replace the high priests that have not been resurrected.

Perhaps you should clarify your point.

Nick,

Are you claiming that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to save animals from the death of their body?

Nick,

What I am seeing as you implying God is because you claim God’s righteousness is not sinless.

If you repent then you will admit Jesus essentially said seek first God’s sinlessness and kingdom and all else will be given to you. You also admit that Paul instructed the Ephesians to put off their old self that served sin and put on their new…[Read more]

Terraricca,

Man changes the word of God because it reminds them of their coming destruction.

Nick,

Colossians 3:8-11Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that…

Nick,

You are using a lot of words but they are vague at best.

According to you, the saved leave behind being imputed with righteousness in order to grasp being imputed with righteousness.

You disagree with the idea that they are leaving behind a self that lives according to the flesh to grasp a self that created like God in true holiness and…[Read more]

942767,

What advantage in Jesus sacrificing himself?

It seems you are claiming that Abraham did not have the Spirit but looked forward to a people that would have the Spirit.

If so why did he look forward to a time the Spirit would be given to humans?

Nick,

Hi KW,

So you are not a jew but follow the jewish religion?

Can the synagogue of satan save you?

Your words reveal you are not understanding my words. Try to understand them.

Perhaps these words of Paul will help.

6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein…

Nick,

Do you know that the old covenant is a contract of the Jewish religion?

Do you know that Abraham, Isaac, and Abraham followed the Jewish religion but did not take part in the old covenant?

If you understand these things then why don’t you understand that Gentiles and Jews can both follow the Jewish religion and take part in the new…[Read more]

T,

Those that follow the true gospel worship God by living by the Spirit and by truth and so bear the fruits of the Spirit and not of the flesh.

Those that walk by the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Nick,

You keep implying God sins with your words.

Those that follow the true gospel put on their new self that is created like God in true righteousness and holiness.

942767,

Romans 4 introduces the question of whether Jesus died in vain for imputed righteousness was already available to Abraham and others before Jesus chose to sacrifice himself on the cross.

Nick,

Why do you accuse God of sinning?

Seek first his righteousness and his kingdom.

Nick,

It depends on what you mean by righteousness. If you mean that the individual has never sinned then only Jesus of all human beings has that kind.

If you mean that a person has sinned and and then turned away from that sin and then no longer then those believe achieve it when the are fully mature in Christ. God chooses to cancel the…[Read more]

Nick,

So which contract is signed for you?

That is understood based on your need to know.

Jesus instructs to judge others by their fruit.

Nick,

It is true that it is not written that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to believers.

Nick,

That is why I asked the question I did.

Nick,

Do you mean persecution?
