Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God, He it is that doth go with thee. He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Psalms 128:1-2
=============
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hand;: happy shalt thou be and it shall be well with thee.
Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Look who has no fear, OF GOD:
Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Only the evil ones have no fear of God and will be punished soon..
Proverbs 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Isaiah 32:6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Adam, you continue to falsely accuse people. False accusations are a form of lying which is a sin. Are you going to confess you’re false accusations as sin today???
yes the counsel of God is shared, and if anyone learned anything along with me as I love learning how the ones who blaspheme Gods Holy name by hating instead of loving, reject the testimony of Christ against themselves, only fighting with each other, not setting out the Gospel themselves for us all to learn from, and be encouraged to lay our lives down, to start to walk the narrow suffering path, it stops the talk when you can hardly walk.
Walls of scripture are the walls you cannot climb to get into Heaven, they were the way in and when rejected they are your block.
Out of context, is when your context has no feelings towards Christ, to give His precious blood for you, then when you decide to not consider all about following Him Holy, the guilt of the blood is on the head instead.
The only hope was to find a loop hole in scripture, such as the word grace, forgiveness, confession of sin, faith.
But when its predicted this fallen world turns Gods grace into lust, they fail the grace of God.
Forgiveness always had a condition, to also forgive. Do unto others as you would have them do to you, and when you do evil to others, and they are returning evil for you, you never believed in forgiveness from sin.
Confessing sin is not because it is Holy, confessing sin is because the evil inside is hidden away, now God made all brought outside into the light. Then with a good conscience given, the person can examine what it is they excused themselves to do against others, and they hate what they do and turn away from it. Others never confess in a good conscience, and keep it inside, hidden away, and claim forgiveness and grace covers them.
Faith is the last word claim the lost world of wide path followers follow, their desire is to be saved, faith is in themselves, they never knew the faith of Christ, this is to lay your life down and die, they never die to sin, they keep that faith alive.
Adam, Paul is obviously not claiming sinless perfectionism.
When a person becomes a Christian he is made perfect” in the eyes of God in heaven (this is called justification). Jesus’ perfect life has been transferred to the person while the person’s sinful life has been transferred to Jesus who bore the penalty for the person’s sin.
But while living on earth, a justified (saved) person still lives in his sinful flesh, in other words, the justified person still has a sin nature. This is what Paul speaks about in Romans 7 and in other places
The justified person, while living on earth, is being brought through a process known as “sanctification” (a training and discipline in righteousness).
Only when a person has died and is glorified will he become completely perfect.
Your error is believing that you are now sinless an perfect even while living in your sinful body and even while you continue to sin as evidenced in your posts.
You constantly disprove your false teaching (sinless perfectionism) by displaying your sin for all to see on the forums
Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
When dead to the law you serve in newness of Spirit, the old man is dead with his deeds, sin has no dominion over you:, now are not under the law, but under grace.
Psalm 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Your words are you still in with a sin nature, because you reject the testimony of sin ceasing to have dominion over us. Also you do the evil, and do no good, as you think Romans 7 speaks of being freed from sin and still serving sin.
Any rational person knows they sin daily. You’re not rational so you believe you’re sinlessly perfect even though posts clearly display evidence you still sin.
When Paul speaks about sin not having dominion, he’s speaking about the person’s daily victory over sin through the process of Holy Spirit sanctification. This is a process. Even though God has declared us perfect (justified) in heaven we must still endure the sanctification process which involves daily confession of sin, becoming holy and growing each day in discipline and submission to the Holy Spirit.
This is what it means in Philippians 1:6 “...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Adam, your error is thinking you’re already sinlessly perfect and that you never need to confess daily sin. This false belief itself is a very serious sin.
Process for you is to not be dead to sin, to be alive to sin, which is anti scripture:
THE OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, DESTROYING THE BODY OF SIN, TO NOT SERVE SATAN AND SIN ANY MORE, TO BE DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN..
Romans 6:5 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.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Unless born again we are nothing to do with Christ, and when born of God all old is passed away, that is the process as described:
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.
1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
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.
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God
1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Doing unrighteousness is not born of God, that is told when we are not born of God, so that's your confession.
Also those born of God love their brother, we see there is no process in that, those who love work no ill to their neighbour, so you confess you have no love of Christ either, or explain how you oppose every testimony of born again, of loving the neighbour, of being dead to sin, a new creature and new man and new plant of righteousness.
The love written in the heart is not a process, God writes it or He does not, in your confession it is not written..
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
"daily confession of sin, This is what it means in Philippians 1:6 “...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
That idea of yours is not a good work, its you still in your evil work. The good work began is, dead to sin, alive to righteousness, loving the neighbour, the law righteously fulfilled in us, that is working no ill to neighbour fulfils, as Gods love is shed in our heart, and born of God sins not, becuse all old is passed away and all is new and of Christ, and your confessions are, you do none of the ways and yet your own mouth is better than the WORD of God somehow .
