A brief excerpt:
While Scripture emphatically says that faith is counted for righteousness and that Christ's righteousness is to all and upon all that believe, it does not say that same righteousness is not to all and upon all those depraved souls who die 'innocent.' This whole thread was brought up in the context of a man being able to live righteously enough to merit a continued justification before God. I said even if a man was able to live completely above sinful deeds he would still need to be justified of the sinful nature which engendered those deeds. The point holds.
Come on, Steve. Go ahead and say the statement I asked you to declare. We know your Adamic nature "has a history" as you put it. We're not talking about those deeds it has engendered in your life. We're talking about the nature itself.
Go ahead and openly declare you believe your nature does not need to be justified before God.
Say it for us:
"I do not need to be justified of my Adamic nature!"
This is precisely what you believe. |
You know I do NOT believe that
1Cor. 6:9-11 declares how I am justified In the Name(WB) and Spirit!
Faith in His blood justifies my past and present.
