of course not,

let's think:
i suspect that consciousness of sin is an
original concept of the Ap Paul, spiritually, rediscovrd
periodically by, e.g. MLuthr, else even we, inc Pedro, would well be mired still in the myth/s of th Dark
Ages; while so, then culturally,
one asks naturally now, relative to Rom 3, of what are you
conscious via law?
jt: You
mean we're not? (still mired in the myths of the Dark Ages) You've been
pronouncing myth over almost every post to this list, well all except those in
line with your own doctrine.
Gary:
while you admit (scripturally) 'I ain't always
conscious of moral perfection', what are you but in agreement
with, e.g.,the Ap Paul in Rom 3 and God and even with MLuthr
himself?
jt: I'm in
agreement with Romans 3 and the rest of God's Word through the apostle Paul. I
differ in many areas with Martin Luther who never completely extricated
himself from Romanism and in later years he was afflicted with bitterness
toward the Jews.
stated anothr
way, the point is (biblically, curntly culturaly) that ignorance of sin is tied to ignorance of the law/Rom
3--or, somewhat conversly, the more you pursue the law, the more you'll
experience what you are really, intrinsically, extrinsically, exceedingly
sinful
... and So?
What about Romans 8:1,2 (in the majority text)? Ignorance is never bliss no
matter what the pundits say. God proclaims by way of His prophet "My ppl
perish for lack of knowledge" so... It's "repent or
perish"
try to be perfect
and say you're succeedg; the bible permits those who know
the truth of Rom 3 to laugh like God in Ps. 2 who'll 'have you in
derision'
jt: And where
does "the Bible" permit this? My Bible says it's He who sits in the
heavens that laughs and holds in derision those who take counsel against Him
and His Anointed... Hmmm what's that about "he who exalts himself?" and where
does it talk about 'sinners in Zion trembling'?
Shall we sin then that grace may abound?
jt
th' more law
keepin' in which thou engageth, the more consciousness of sin thou wilt
ferth experience
