[TruthTalk] Trangressions
- Original Message - From: To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/20/2006 1:09:41 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Greek Present Indicative "God's commandments": "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength...the LORD loved you and..and redeemed you" Deuteronomy 6,7 NIV cd: Gary are you suggesting those of OT did not have to keep the commandments?You are using an OT verse to make you pointfor the Moral Law as being legalistic. Yet we are to keep the same Love of God and Love of neighbor in NT which if one is doing this one is keeping the commandments. eg. Do not bow down and worship idols (love of God). Do not covet thy neighbors house,wife...etc (Love thy neighbor). The commandments are telling how to love God and neighbor by not transgressing against them. Here is another OT verse that speaks of Transgressions by a Jew who also thought they had it made for simply being children of Abraham-I suspect that one day you will be astonished too. Ezr 9:4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice. Here is a new testament teaching on transgression Gary: Tell me how much difference do you really notice between the OT and NT concerning transgressions? Heb 2:1-3 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; This is by J.Wesley concerning Transgressions: Rom 5:14 - Death reigned - And how vast is his kingdom! Scarce can we find any king who has as many subjects, as are the kings whom he hath conquered. Even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression - Even over infants who had never sinned, as Adam did, in their own persons; and over others who had not, like him, sinned against an express law. Who is the figure of him that was to come - Each of them being a public person, and a federal head of mankind. The one, the fountain of sin and death to mankind by his offence; the other, of righteousness and life by his free gift. Thus far the apostle shows the agreement between the first and second Adam: afterward he shows the differences between them. The agreement may be summed up thus: As by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; so by one man righteousness entered into the world, and life by righteousness. As death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned; so life passed upon all men, (who are in the second Adam by faith,) in that all are justified. And as death through the sin of the first Adam reigned even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression; so through the righteousness of Christ, even those who have not obeyed, after the likeness of his obedience, shall reign in life. We may add, As the sin of Adam, without the sins which we afterwards committed, brought us death ; so the righteousness of Christ, without the good works which we afterwards perform, brings us life: although still every good, as well as evil, work, will receive its due reward. Gary here is what transgression mean according to the New Testament: Why are you teachingcontrary tothe Bible? 1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Which law? The moral law of course Gary.

I'm not sure what you are looking for here, Lance. The distinction seems rather obvious. Those born of God do not sin while those addicted to sin do. There is a commonality between the two people: they both have a flesh which is a source of temptation. The difference is that one follows the Spirit and therefore fulfills the law of love, while the other continues to yield to his carnal desires. Lance wrote: David:Kindly expand upon 'the commandments of Jesus' All the commandments are summed up in the commandments to love God and love your neighbor. There are many other commandments also, but they are summed up in these two. Some passages for your consideration, illustrating some details about how to love God and love your neighbor: Luke 18:18-22 (18) And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (19) And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. (20) Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. (21) And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. (22) Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 1 Thessalonians 4:2-14 (2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. (3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: (4) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; (5) Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: (6) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. (7) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. (8) He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. (9) But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. (10) And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; (11) And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; (12) That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. (13) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Re: [TruthTalk] Greek Present Indicative
Lance wrote: I'm attempting to obtain scripture/statements from those I've taken to referencing as 'the sinless ones' in order that I may move on to other things. You should remember that I have objected to the word sinless. As long as my current body of flesh and blood is alive, a sin principle dwells within it and must be mortified on a daily basis. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, because of sin. Therefore, how can I say that I am sinless before the resurrection transforms my body? Just because I do not continue to sin does not mean that I am sinless like God. God cannot be tempted with evil because he is truly sinless. I can be tempted. Do you understand this distinction? Lance wrote: Those who do not sin = believers? Right. Only the believers can be holy because it is a gift of God's grace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Lance wrote: Those who sin = non-believers? Not necessarily. Because of grace, there is a class of believers who teach that we are addicted to sin and have only the hope of forgiveness. They have no knowledge of the deliverance they can obtain through faith. Mat. 5:19 identifies these two classes of people in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19 (19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Nevertheless, despite this, the Scriptures have very strong language that the normal Christian life is one that is not characterized by sin. The paradox exists because of grace and forgiveness. Lance wrote: It was your employment of the word 'addiction' that caught my attention, The word addicted came from John's post on Feb. 14. He said, aren't we all in reference to people who are addicted to sin. By the way, John has been writing privately and indicates some private correspondence about me to others, perhaps some of you on this list. I consider gossip to be dangerous.
