Does God Accept Imperfect Obedience?

[jimmyjimmy]

Lately, the sheer number of posts which explicitly and implicitly state that Jesus saves only those who keep the law has been astounding. Most of those claiming such don't claim moral perfection, but quite frankly, I would have less of a problem with them if they did, because there is no such animal as imperfect obedience.

Does God accept "imperfect obedience"?

Does Christ save only those who obey the law?

If you claim to be saved by your law keeping, please don't cheat by lowering the bar. The law is perfect and God demands perfection.

Please quote one that says that someone, anyone , is saved only by keeping the whole law.

Yes, it very hypocritical to claim that you must keep the law to be saved, and then yet, not keeping it...?

Very confusing...

And it due to a lack of (a correct) understanding of both covenants...

My answer to your question about anything God will or will not accept, is: "I do not know", cause only God does, and I'm not him...

God Bless!

I seriously hope so!

I would like to see such a post that the OP claims exists as well.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Read the OP, please.

I did.
I think you erred greatly.
I don't think anyone fits what you said in the op - there were not only not an astounding number of posts claiming anyone must obey all the law to be saved,
there probably were less than 3 in the last 3 weeks,
and
I don't think you know any of them - I don't think you even read 1 post that said so - and that's a big big difference , yes indeed and in fact,
quite a difference from "astounding number" "explicitly and implicitly" ....

Yes. It is, and thanks to you for reading the OP.

He forgives it in those He chooses to, but not completely.
They lose rewards in heaven for it.
I expect to be living under a bridge there.

I seriously hope so!

Why?

Are you referring to those who proclaim sinless perfection in order to remain saved?

No.

 

[JCFantasy23]

Why?

For my sake. I definitely don't practice perfect obedience all the time.

 

[Hammster]

No.

Okay. Then I'm sure to whom you're referring.

You shouldn't judge yourself like that, cause really you do not know, and it is only God's judgement that matters...

Peace,

God Bless!

Does your obedience gain you acceptance before God? Is that why you said that you hope so?

 

[jimmyjimmy]

They fill the threads that we are active in. Push grace, and they push back with law.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

They fill the threads that we are active in.

Yet you still cannot quote even one.

It's not the only thing involved in salvation, but I do think it helps.

I think and thought she was actually saying kind of the opposite, when I read her post...?



Peace,
