The gospel is Jesus Christ!
Paul said that (I paraphrased) in Romans.
Can you point me to the chapter and verse?
Was Adam and Eve not looking for Christ as well? Burnt Offerings were introduced after sin came into the world.
You indicated that ceremonial laws were those that were given to Israel. In light of your claim, note that burnt offerings were given before there even was an Israel. Please address this point.
Look at Christians today, and 1000 years ago. It is quite obvious that most/all of them were not convicted with respect to a given sin at all times.
So Jesus lied when He said that He would send us a helper who would convict us with respect to sin and righteousness and judgment? Perhaps it was not Christ's intent that His people would be sinless before His coming . . . .
You can't say that it isn't a sin because the Holy Spirit hasn't convicted you of it at that given time.
So the Spirit does not convict us with respect to sin and righteousness and judgment? Jesus simply made that up?
Quit building strawmen to attack. I haven't said or implied anything that you are implying there.
Please answer the questions and then I'll know what you believe and what you don't believe. Without answers, I'm simply guessing. Here again are my questions:
Have any laws changed? Do you feel that God has called you to follow every God-given command set out in Scripture? Can any jot or tittle of the law pass if there are things that have not been accomplished? Can we conclude that some jots and tittles have passed but others have not?
So has murder being wrong passed?
Has the Spirit convicted you to murder? What if you were convited to enter a holy war?
Has theft?
Has the Spirit convicted you to steal?
How about honoring your father and mother?
Has the Spirit convicted you to do something that would bring dishonor to your parents? What if you were raised by Mormon parents? Would the Spirit convict you to leave Mormonism even if it brought dishonor to your parents?
As Paul said, it is the law that convicts us of sin.
All wrong doing is sin. If any man knows to do right and does it not, to him it is sin.
If there was no law, there would be no sin
So there was no sin before the law was added?
and there would be no need for a savior.
Adam, Moses and Abraham were not in need of a Savior, even though they lived before the law was added?
Why is the Sabbath commandment with the other 9 commandments that haven't passed away?
The laws have not been abolished. Their requirements have been fully met.
Or is it suddenly OK to have other gods before God?
Is the Spirit convicting you to have other Gods?
Or to lie?
Is the Spirit convicting you to lie?
Should we sin just because God's grace is sufficient of us?
Should we sin? No.
Do we sin? Yes.
