Repentance and remission of sins is preached by the Apostles of Christ for this world to believe in.
Christ is sent to bless us in turning us away from those iniquity/sins.
It is testified to us, to the Jews and to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Shown to all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance (faith is repentance toward God which is turning away from his iniquities, when we turn toward God we are turning away from satan at the same moment)..
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
The gift of God is the Holy water/Spirit which Jesus gives us. This springs up in us into everlasting life, as it is living water..
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Having that living water inside of us, we come out of this great tribulation (since 2000 years ago) washing our robes in the blood of the Lamb to make them white.
Serving God in Hi temple, (within us now our body) and God dwells among us now.
They do not thirst any more, as Jesus has told us, whosoever drinks the water Jesus gave us, shall never thirst again, and the Lamb fed us and lead us to His living fountains of waters..
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Now we understand the gift of God more clearly.
The free gift is of many offences unto justification.
The gift of righteousness reigns by Jesus Christ..
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Sin had reigned unto death.
Now grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ..
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Now then we are made free from sin (by the free gift of God) and knowing the wages of sin are death.
The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord..
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We are saved by grace through faith (all faith and grace is the gift of God)
We believing in Christ Jesus are created a new man in Christ Jesus unto good works.
Not of works as Christ abolished in His flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances, and made of the Jew and the Gentile on new man.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Put off the old man (to believe in Christ and to be created in Christ Jesus) as that old man is corrupt according to all the deceitful lusts the old man does
To believe and be saved by the gift of grace, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and then you can put on the new man, which after God ( seen in Christ) is CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS......
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Yes we need to be that new man/new creature, and this is to believe in Christ and to receive that gift of grace, or we believed in nothing of righteousness.
If in Christ, we are a new creature, old gets all passed away, as all things are become new..
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Lie not one to another any more, that is the old man and those deeds are put off, if we believe in Christ.
Put on the new man( true belief) which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him..
Colossians 3:9 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 created him:
Be as Gods elect, Holy and beloved, with bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness, meekness, longsuffering, and ABOVE ALL, put on CHARITY which is the BOND OF PERFECTNESS..
Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Now let the gift of God be stirred up.
God gave us the Spirit of love( the new covenant written in our hearts) and of power to do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Christ saved us with a Holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His purpose, to abolish death bringing life and immortality to light through the Gospel..
2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
God testified of the gifts given to Abel, how God heard His blood speaking even though dead, which testifies of Christs blood and the gift of Christ for our blood to have His life in us when we no longer believe in the body of death..
Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
who shall deliver me from the body of this death
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
We need Jesus Christ to clean us of all sin, if we say we have no sin, we cant be cleaned of all sin.
We confess our sins, and He justly justifies us by forgiving our sins and by cleaning us of all unrighteousness.
His word of truth being in us, is we have sinned and for all past sins He cleans them for the remission of sins that are past., for the wages of sin are death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do you have anything to say about Galatians 3, we see God justifies us through faith, and we see that Abraham was faithful, and we too need to be faithful to be blessed with him..
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
T o receive the promise, the gift of God, we need to receive the Spirit through faith,(not our own faith it is the faith of Christ coming)..
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Christ is given the one seed, and that seed (Christ/mustard seed)remains in us when we sin not in Christ as we are born of Him:
Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
We see the strength and purpose of the law is when men are transgressors, as we also see, "where no law is, there is no transgression"...
Galatians 3;19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
The law brings us to Christ to believe in to be justified with Him in us and we cease being unjust..
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Our beginning is in baptism, as John preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins..
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
We are baptized unto His death, buried with Him in baptism into death, our old body and man is crucified and destroyed to henceforth not serve sin, now be free from sin and serving satan to serve the Lord..
Romans 6;3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Adam 7744
If you want to dialogue with people than use 1 or 2 Scripture and give the other person a chance to reply, if not then you can expect your posts to stay blank.

because people do not love Gods word, they prefer their own, but if we did love Gods word it is as told by the Lord:
Psalm 119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Deuteronomy 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

David, when was the last time you cherished your willful sinning, to become unperfect once again?
Was it minutes ago or hours ago you hung the Messiah on the pole/tree again that you do as a faithful cathholic that you are!
Are you without a wife because you cannot find one that will keep up with all your sinful daily ways? Do you wear a cathholic secular 'cross' around your neck with a cast body on it, always crucifying the Messiah a fresh in your heart and deed???
You see how it all works back in your face David? How does it feel to get your own medicine?

Flat Teddy, let me help you. I’ll say this in simpler terms (words), all I wanted to do was get Adam’s wife on the forum to testify to his “sinless perfection”, not to his many sins. We all can see his many sins plain as day and that’s been like a horror flick!!
Come to think of it, why don’t you (Flat Teddy) get your mom on the forum to testify to your “sinless perfectionism” since you blindly agree with your leader Adam about “sinlessness perfectionism.”
I just wanna see what your mom has to say about you being “perfect”.
She’ll probably confess, Yeah my little flat Teddy been perfect alright—a perfect brat !!!
As for my girl friends coming on here, I’m sure they would. They would say something like, “David never claimed to be perfect, like Awesome Adam and Flat Teddy, but he’s the most perfect guy we’ve known”
But the thing about you, Flat Teddy, chattin’ with my ladies—-well—-they might be a little more sophisticated than you’re used to Teddy.
Ya see, they know the difference between a sphere (that’s a a round solid figure like the earth Teddy) and a plane AND they know the difference between a “likeness” and a “sameness”.
