The wicked heart, which is not submitted to God or His Law, plays hide and seek [as did Adam] and plays pretend with oneself, and thus a person can be self-deceived to think that they are all right with God, when in reality, they are all wrong:BTW
The emboldened is correct, in respect of the Christians righteousness being faith in Christ. All Christians break the law though they do not want to do so. Anyone who happily commits sin without conscience has not been born again, for the law cannot be in their heart.
Your posts on Saturday Sabbath/sunday worship are irrelevant, for as I previously told you in depth, the born again believer MUST have heartfelt conviction they sin when wilfully refusing to follow the law in their mind and heart, something you SHOULD agree with as you keep quoting:
Sin is the transgression of the law.
And
Through the law(within us) we become conscious of sin(rom3:20.
AND YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE LAW IN YOUR HEART AND MIND
Jeremiah 17:9 KJB - The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Romans 8:7 KJB - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans 8:7 KJB - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Therefore, out of the abundance of that desperately [<-- notice that word!] wicked heart can only come deception:
Jeremiah 9:5 KJB - And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Matthew 12:34 KJB - O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
The pharisees claimed to have God's law in honour, all the while their hypocrisy was shown in their trasngression of it by their vain traditions, and Jesus especially called them to account for their violation of the Sabbath on numerous occasions.
The Law is Holy, Just and Good and this includes the 4th Commandment, which is the only Commandment of the Ten [symbolizing all, the wholeness of God's Law] with the word Holy in it, see 2 Peter 2:21 KJB. Therefore to teach that it is irrelevant shows your heart.
