Forgiveness ≠ License to Sin

[SabbathBlessings]

Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God

No one relies on the law to be justified before God, that's not the purpose of the law, the purpose of the law is to show us our sins Rom 3:20 Romans 7:7 and lead us to Christ Psa 19:7 because we are sinners in need of a Savior. When we repent He cleanses us from all sin and unrighteousness and tells us to go and sin no more and through our faith and love in Him and His power we can obey Him and keep His commandments John 14:15-18. This is faith that saves, we are saved by grace through faith, but as a consequence of our faith and salvation, we obey God.

Everyone has sinned (past tense) is doesn't mean through Jesus we can't overcome. He tells us He has a people who does- Rev 14:12 He came to save us from our sins Mat 1:21, not in them. It's a matter of who we yield ourselves servants to obey Rom 6:16

1 John 1:8 Interlinear: if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

The Book of Hebrews builds on this:
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

What did the Hebrews have before Jesus revealed Himself?

I am condemned by not "Doing the Law", in earlier discussion. I am not a Sabbatarian. Does the bible say that I am condemned to the lake of fire by your understanding?

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God

That has nothing to do with 1 John. If one assent unto their sin God is faithful to forgive. Forgiveness is conditional.


And Galatians is a big letter. If one understood Gal 2:20. And what it meant to be dead but alive. yet not I but Christ in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the FAITH of the Son of God who gave Himself for me. One would not be pulling those text out of context like you have.

There is no scripture that tells us we are saved in our sins.

We must confess and forsake them Pro 28:13

Hen 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [g]says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Please entertain me, if you would be so kind. To follow up the discussion of the book of Hebrews? What did the Hebrews have before Jesus Christ revealed Himself?

What sin is Hebrews 10 speaking of? The entire book makes this very clear of this sin that leads to death. I've been exegeting the book methodically. It repeats itself like a broken record. The entire book of Hebrews gives context to this very verse. What is this verses context?

If we are sinning willfully after we receive the knowledge of the truth there remains no sacrifice for sin. Only God's fiery indignation and wrath. It is a terrible thing to fall in the hands of the living God.

I don't know why people are content constantly making Paul contradict himself and Jesus and never look to really understand what Paul is teaching.

Its any sin! Sin in Hebrews is not different from sin in John, or Romans or James or Matthew.

Sin is anything that is not of faith. Romans 14:23
Sin is transgressing God's law 1 John 3:4 James 2:10-12 Mat 5:19-30 Rom 7:7

Will you answer honestly for me, please, kind Sir. I am not a Sabbatarian. Do you believe that I should fear the lake of fire?

What defines sin?

Paul and the book of Hebrews are abundantly clear, as well as James, what defines sin.

"Anything that is not ... faith" <- Faith in What?

The Law not in their heart and Mind. But through Christ WE have the Law in our heart and mind. We are Begotten by the word of truth, A new creature, and all is new and of God. He is the First among many brethren. It is God that works in us both to will and do His good pleasure. As Jesus said, He doeth the work. And greater things shall you do because I go unto the Father. I will not leave you comfortless, I will come unto you. I in you, you in Me that the world might believe.

Believe What?

Do you believe that Non Sabbatarians should fear the lake of fire?

Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. 11 Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame, 12 for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Me either. I don't think there is a box we can fit all into. Reading comprehension, poor study habits, preconceived notions and ideas, spiritual blindness all come into play. But some here seem as trolls. As if they are not even serious. Just here killing time.

Pray and pray some more. Pray without ceasing.

I don’t know if you realize why I asked believe in what.

I, personally, have Surrendered to Jesus Christ and thusly have relinquished all of my Faith in self and by His Holy Spirit, have Faith in Him and nothing else.

When I asked; "believe What", I was hoping you would simply respond with one word that I would respond with. Jesus
