Big bad humongous BEWARE because UR has shot themselves in the foot yet again.
By quoting 1-2 verses out-of-context, as you have done, anyone can make the Bible say almost anything they want it to.
Who is the "us" in the verse above, Rom 8:39 , is it all mankind?
Romans 8:1
(1) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The "us" in Rom 8:39 is "them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." NOT all mankind.
Rom 8:4
(4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The "us" in Rom 8:39 is the same "us" in this verse those "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." NOT all mankind.
Rom 8:7
(7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Those who are not "us" in Rom 8:39 cannot be subject to the law of God.
Rom 8:11
(11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The "us" in Rom 9:39, does not include those who do not have the spirit indwelling.
Rom 8:12
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
The "us" in Rom 8:39 does not include those who are debtors to the flesh and live after the flesh.
Rom 8:16
(16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
The "us" in Rom 8:39 does not include those who are not children of God.
8:28
(28) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
The "us" in Rom 8:39 are only those "who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." not all mankind.
Rom 8:33
(33) Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
The "us" in Rom 8:39 only includes "God's elect" whom God has justified, NT all mankind.
Rom 8:38-39
(38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
(39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.[/jndent]
As I have shown the "us" in this verse only includes born again Christians.
