I use the term weird, because that is what you are and that is what I mean.
Shalom.
This is good. Do you understand then that you have been granted the free gift of eternal life?
Shalom.
Jacob
Shalom.
All who have repented of their sins and have faith in God and Jesus.
See
Romans 10:8-10
Romans 10:8-10 NASB - 8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Shalom.
Jacob
I am for the time being, but I could choose to sin.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)
Shalom.
You can choose not to sin, or choose to not sin. Is sin for me? No, not me. No, not sin. Choose to obey God. Obedience to God is not sin. Disobedience is sin. Disobedience is transgression of the law, if disobedience is sin and if all sin is transgression of the law. We are talking about the law, of God. It is in the KJV as follows.
1 John 3:4
1 John 3:4 KJV - 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Shalom.
Jacob
John's statement refers to the law that Jesus did not come to destroy, not the Law of Moses which was for a particular nation for a particular time period.
The law Jesus referred to is indestructible, it is an everlasting law. It is the Spirit's law.
Shalom.
Are you talking about Matthew 5:17-19?
Matthew 5:17-19
Matthew 5:17-19 NASB - 17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Shalom.
Jacob
Yes.
Shalom.
Do you see that it says that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets?
Matthew 5:17-19
Matthew 5:17-19 NASB - 17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Shalom.
