Hi Doug, some comments below for your consideration.
denies the NEW COVENANT? How does this statement deny the NEW COVENANANT?
Do you believe that we are saved while CONTINUING in a life of KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN?
I would say that if you believe that we can still be saved while living in SIN denies the Gospel. In the end days we are told...
2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 [1], This know also, that in the LAST DAYS perilous times shall come.
[2], For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3], Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,[4], Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5], HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF; FROM SUCH TURN AWAY .
these are those who believe a counterfeit Gospel. The counterfeit Gospel is one that DENIES the POWER OF GOD to save a SINNER from their SINS. This is NOT the true Gospel. The true Gospel is one that SAVED the SINNER from their SINS as it is written..
ROMANS 1:16 [16], FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST; IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES ; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

1 PETER 1:3-7 [3], Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4], To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, [5], WHO ARE KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST DAYS. [6], Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations: [7], That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
what is this power that can save us from sin?
2 PETER 1:2-4 [2], Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, [3], ACCORDING TO HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue: [4], WHEREBY ARE GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES; THAT BY THESE YOU MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF THE DEVINE NATURE, HAVING ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION IN THE WORLD THROUGH LUST.
God's POWER is his WORD. This is the same WORD that was in the BEGINNING with God and all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. This is the same WORD that said let their be light and there was light.
CREATION to be made new FROM SIN by FAITH through the POWER of God's WORD.
So in the last days there will be two clases of people. Those who have a FORM OF GODLINESS but deny God's POWER to save them from SIN and another class of people that BELIEVE in the GOSPEL that gives them POWER to SAVE them from TEMPTATION TO SIN and makes them a PARTAKER of the DIVINE NATURE TO LIVE A LIFE OF GODLINESS. The POWER of GOD is to DELIEVER God's people from the TEMPTATION to SIN so they can live a life of GODLINESS. The Good news of the GOSPEL is freedom and SALVATION from SIN... not to sin. Those who CONTINUE IN KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will die.
WHOEVER COMMITS SIN IS A SERVANT TO SIN
HE WHO COMMITS SIN IS A SERVANT OF SIN. IF THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED (John 8:31-36).
OBEDIENCE to GOD's LAW by FAITH that works by LOVE is FREEDOM from the BONDAGE OF SIN...
JOHN 8:31-36 [31], Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; [32], And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. [33], They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in BONDAGE to any man: how say you, You shall be made free? [34], Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, WHOSOEVER COMMITS SIN SERVANT OF SIN. [35], And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. [36], IF THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
Jesus calls those who practice sin as the servants of sin SIN and those who commit SIN as being in BONDAGE to sin.
GALATIANS 4:1-5; 9 [1], Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; [2], But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. [3], Even so we, when we were children, were in BONDAGE under the elements of the world: [4], But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, [5], To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons....
[9], But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you desire again to be in BONDAGE?
HEBREWS 2:14-15 [14], For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; [15] And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE.
Paul calls those who are in sin subject to BONDAGE..
2 PETER 2:19 [19], While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE.
Jesus, Paul and Peter all relate SIN to being in BONDAGE or being a SERVANT to sin..
ROMANS 6:17-23 [17], But God be thanked, that you were the SERVANTS OF SIN, BUT YOU HAVE OBEYED FROM THE HEART THAT FORM OF DOCTINE THAT WAS DELIEVERED TO YOU. [18], BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, you became the SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. [19], I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity to iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness to holiness. [20], For when you were the SERVANTS OF SIN, you were free from righteousness. [21], What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. [22], But now being made FREE FROM SIN, and become servants to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. [23], For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus explains that SIN starts in the mind (thoughts and feelings) before they become action..
MATTHEW 5:20-22 [20], For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. [21], You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22], But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment..
and again..
MATTHEW 5:27-28 [27], You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery: [28], But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
.................
CONCLUSION: He that commits SIN is a SERVANT OF SIN and is in BONDAGE TO SIN and SIN originates in the heart (thoughts and feelings).
.................
SALVATION IS FREEDOM FROM SIN AND THE BONDAGE OF SIN
JOHN 8:34-36 [34], Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, WHOSOEVER COMMITS SIN SERVANT OF SIN. [35], And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. [36], IF THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
ROMANS 6:17-18 [17], But God be thanked, that you were the SERVANTS OF SIN, BUT YOU HAVE OBEYED FROM THE HEART THAT FORM OF DOCTINE THAT WAS DELIEVERED TO YOU. [18], BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, you became the SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
.................
CONCLUSION: In the last days there will be two clases of people. Those who have a FORM OF GODLINESS but deny God's POWER to save them from SIN and another class of people that BELIEVE in the GOSPEL that gives them POWER to SAVE them from TEMPTATION TO SIN and makes them a PARTAKER of the DIVINE NATURE TO LIVE A LIFE OF GODLINESS.

Those who CONTINUE IN KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will die.
BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN means to be OBEDIENT TO GOD'S LAW which is RIGHTOUESNESS BY FAITH in God's WORD that works by LOVE by walking in God's SPIRIT. Salvation is from the BONDAGE and SLAVERY of SIN. WE are now the servants of RIGHTOUESSNESS.
ROMANS 5:21[21], That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
ROMANS 6:16 [16] Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
................
The statement is correct; Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT ENTER the KINGDOM of HEAVEN because they have rejected the GIFT of God's dear son.
................
SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4)
Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
Doug you say that the statement that says...This interpretation denies the promise of the New Covenant. I will be merciful to there unrighteousness and there sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.LoveGodsWord said: ↑
