So is worshipping on Sunday yielding your members to sin?Righteousness is obedience from God. Paul say in Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
The Bible is consider our instruction manual as human being. I know what sin is because I read the Bible. In (1John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we have just read the biblical definition of sin, the transgression (breaking) of the law (commandments.) It doesn’t matter what you or I think sin is, it’s what God says sin is that counts.
Jesus said in (Matt. 19:16-17) (v.16) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? That’s what we are all trying to obtain correct, eternal life? (v.17) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Now if you want to enter into eternal life you most keep the commandments. Sounds like a little work to me. See Exodus 20 for full commandments.
If you yield yourself to Jesus and God, and keep these commandments, you are now in the form of righteousness. If you don't, then you yield yourself as unrighteousness unto sin. Whats the different between a saint and a sinner? The commandments. Lets go to Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. As long as sin is in the world, there have to be the law (commandments).
Do you believe the commands Jesus gave in the gospels are for Jews only? Like the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5-Matthew 7), is that for you or just Jews?26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. JN 10
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. JN 15
Jesus is speaking to Jews in both instances.

No. There are basically 2 statements in Ps 14:1-3. It isn't the fool that says there are none. Notice that big red dot after the word God in v 1.Psalms 14 is about lost people, the first line says "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God". Yes, all godless people can do nothing but sin, that's obvious, if they don't believe in God they have no reason to subject themselves to his law. Romans 8:7 says the carnal mind is enmity against God and his law.
What?!!There is no sin that can be forgiven?

Sorry but nothing from Matthew here which was the basis for your statement. Do you have something from Mat 5-7 for me?Again...In (1John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we have just read the biblical definition of sin, the transgression (breaking) of the law (commandments.)
Paul say in Hebrews 10: (v.26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. Now do we understand what’s being said here? If you sin willfully after you have knowledge of what the truth is, no more animals are going to die for you. (v.27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Where does I JN 3:4 say only?Again...In (1John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we have just read the biblical definition of sin, the transgression (breaking) of the law (commandments.)

But you refuse to accept I JN 3:23.Lets take a look and see what Solomon saying regards to all we have to do in Ecclesiastes 12:13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
That's exactly what I thought. You can't defend your statement with Mat 5-7.Sorry, but my answer was right on. I have nothing for you at this time.
You don't obey the law or the commandments no one ever did but Christ if you don't do it perfectly you broke everything.Again...In (1John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

This is talking about helping people.James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
This explains the law once you have faith that expresses itself in love as Galatians chapter 5 verse 6 says.though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Romans chapter 6
14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
Galatians chapter 5 verse 6We're not saved by our faith.
We're saved by God's grace. We don't work to keep ourselves ingratiated to God either. We hold faith that Grace is the beginning of our new opportunity to better ourselves from what and who we were . And when we are redeemed and born again the old self is put away and no longer exists in the eyes of God. Nor does our understanding of who we are and our place in this world.
That's why newborn Christians act differently than they did before. Rather than works that seems to be a word that confuses the talking point, maybe we should use behavior instead. Our behaviors change. Our outlook changes. We manifest God's word, Jesus ministry, by doing our thing with the guidance of his holy spirit. And that is what makes the truth in scripture real and more than words on a page.
The Bible isn't written for the understanding of non-Christians. It's the guidebook , the journaling of Abba Father , so that the faithful can glean support and understanding in their walk. Living in a very different reality than what we formerly thought was just us and everything in this world that was for the taking.
We give now. And the taking is replaced by the blessing of knowing why.
You don't obey the law or the commandments no one ever did but Christ if you don't do it perfectly you broke everything.
James chapter 2 verse 10
If anyone keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Romans chapter 6
14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
Galatians chapter 4
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[e]
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”[f] 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.In the scriptures its written in Proverbs 15: [31] The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [32] He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. [33] The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.
Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat
He will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.
In the scriptures its written in Proverbs 15: [31] The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [32] He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. [33] The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
