Yes, but he did not have to boast in the work he did to make that point. Granted, he said it was not his work, but it was the work of Christ. That is kind of the point I am getting at.
You go and ruin your first sentence by putting in the remainder of your sentences.
That is showing how much you do not understand Paul's writings. To pull out that Paul was boasting out of that shows where your mind and heart is.
But in your view it does not really matter what I do so salvation wise. I am saved and I do not really have to worry about serving others. I can love myself and live my life however I please. But I realize I am bought and paid for with a price and I am not my own.
Does one have the fruit of God if they obey just some of the moral laws? I would say no(your words) Jason if you actually believe you perfectly obey the whole of the moral law you are blind and misguided, and must have watered down the moral law.
Where did I say Paul was boasting in himself? I believe Paul was boasting in the work of Christ done within him. So your attempt at trying to paint me as the villain is not going to work.
Either you are deliberately yet again distorting my views or you are incapable of understanding spiritual truth
So you believe it is impossible to keep the moral law? So what do you do then? You just don't worry about it? Sweep it under the rug? Focus on Jesus as your Savior and live however you like or obey whenever you feel like it? Is that how it works?
You said that a person can die in unrepentant sin and still be saved in some cases. You also said we will be found as sinners, too. What kind of sins are we talking about here? Lying? Hating? Lusting? Can a person be found a sinner in that sense and be saved? Or do they need to have repentance and bring forth fruits worthy of that repentance?
You are incapable of perfectly keeping the moral law. Some just convince themselves otherwise by watering down the laws demands. Others accept the truth and in humility cling to Jesus
Paul said we will be found to be sinners while seeking justification in Christ. Its strange, you attack me for having that belief but you don't attack Paul for having the same belief. Oh well!
You may assume what you wish, but as someone once said to me. To assume makes an ASS out of U and ME.
Where did I ever say how great I am? I never give glory to myself for any good done in my life. Again, you are trying to throw mud on me or paint me as the villain when such is not the case at all. For I do not hold to the belief that you are trying to pin on me. On the contrary I have argued with two men (Claiming to be Christian) that we are saved by man directed works. He actually believed that. Crazy. But if you want to keep falsely accusing me of something I do not believe then go right ahead.
The thing is that there should be nothing to hide if you are guilt free. And it would not be boasting if you privately send me a message about it. Only I would know and I would not tell anyone. Well, I do not even know who you are. So how could I tell people about you?
I am not attacking Paul for saying those words because they do not mean what you think they say. But I ask you again. Can you be found as a sinner in the sense of being a liar, or a hater, or a man who commits sexual immorality and still be saved? Or was Paul referring to being found a sinner in different kind of way?
