Okay so one person is saying that righteousness for the Christian is observing 1,050 of the commandments, and another is saying that Christians are supposed to follow the New Covenant commandments. So then, where is this list of 1,050 New Covenant commandments Christians are supposed to observe to be righteous?Right. I agree. It is only by the Holy Spirit we receive AFTER becoming Christ's do we receive power over sin. Roman 3:20 is talking Old Covenant. The Spirit is New Covenant.
Ask Jason.Okay so one person is saying that righteousness for the Christian is observing 1,050 of the commandments, and another is saying that Christians are supposed to follow the New Covenant commandments.

I hope Jason keeps plugging along, preaching the same thing the apostles did for a long, long time.
Your post here seems to put Jesus as your scapegoat, so you can live with an invisibility cloak over sewage. That is NOT the gospel. Jesus died to cleanse us from not only our sin, but the DESIRE to sin. We are dead to sin because we have been given Christ's Spirit to walk in. We have the power of God working in us.
Many times when I discuss Eternal Security, I hear two different messages. One message says a true Christian is defined by loving Jesus and by being more Christ like. Yet, another message within Eternal Security says you can die in the unrepentant sin of lying, or the sin of unforgiveness, etc. and still be saved.
What doth thou sayeth?
...
Ask Jason.
He insists the Christian is under a law of righteousness concerning 1050 NT commands
All I ask is that you are honest with yourself. Have you stopped sinning? If not, what takes away that sin?
Is it your desire to stop?
Is it Christ?
In Christ
Daniel
either we work for overall salvation in the true God or we have no promise of anything better - would all those people that Jesus saved be saved if He didn't go to cast the devils out of them, heal the sick, preach the Gospel, etc.?!, or would the patients that doctors healed be healed if there were no doctors to heal them?!, let's say God is faithful as a system Administrator/Provider of life to save all souls at least at one last day/hour, but there is no promise of anything better if we don't work for overall salvation opportunely
Matthew 7:12 "whatsoever you desire that people should do for you, do likewise for them, for this is the Law and The Prophets."

Psalms 39:5
“Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.”
In man's best state he is SIN!
This is why we need to be born again, born under Grace and not the Law.
You should ask yourself,
What is being born again
how am I born again
what are the results of being born again.

That is double speak if I have ever heard it Jason. On one had you say it is possible to stop sinning, on the other you say believers struggle with sin.You see it as impossible to stop sinning so you conclude that your world experience and beliefs is the reality of the believer when it really is not. We are told in Scripture that we can overcome sin. See 1 Peter 4:1-2. Romans 13:14. Galatians 5:16. Galatians 5:24.
This does not mean new believers do not struggle with sin and they do not go to Christ for forgiveness. But new believers are supposed to in time mature and overcome their sin and not justify it as being normal to do so.

I have explained it time and time again. And even when you are shown to be plainly wrong you cannot bring yourself to admit it.
You have eyes but refuse to see
And ears but refuse to hear
That is double speak if I have ever heard it Jason. On one had you say it is possible to stop sinning, on the other you say believers struggle with sin.
You said:You Do you not know that our flesh cannot please God?
You said:It is God's mercy that saves us, not our abilities.
You said:Again Jason, if your doctrine is true...
Give me the list of men.
You said:BTW, Noah was saved by God's grace...read it.
In Christ
Daniel
Do you sin Jason?
Genesis 6:8
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
Again, you don't get it.
We are in the last days and things are darker.
As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
It should not matter Jason, give me a list of the men from any century...it should be an extensive list. All these men that do not sin.
First, not all sin is the same. There are sins that lead to death and sins that do not lead to death (See 1 John 5:16-17).
Second, to answer your question: Well, I do not abide in unrepentant serious sin. My walk with the Lord is upright and in His good ways most days (in regards to serious sin and not minor transgressions). I seek to obey Jesus more and more in His good ways instead of trying to turn God's grace into a license to sin as most do these days. For Titus 2:11-12 says the true grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present world.
The true believer (as described to us in Scripture) is sort of like an alcoholic who joins a drug program and who may stumble on occasion on his road to overcoming his sin of alcoholism or in being sober free.
The Eternal Security proponent (in most cases and not all cases) is sort of like an alcoholic who joins a drug program to make a loved one happy but they have no real intention of giving up the bottle because they think that it is impossible to become sober free (despite other alcoholics having become sober free).
