Paul's Doctrine : #1

[Behold]

Reader...


The Apostle Paul's teaching regarding our "Soteriology".. is very unique.

He teaches that the Law and commandments, show us who we are in relation to God's Holiness.
And now that the Law, this HOLY MIRROR has let us see ourselves as compared to God's Holiness... we recognize what we are..

1.) = "all have sinned".. "there is none righteous, no not one"..

So, this REVELATION that the Law has provided to us...., leads us to God's Grace that is Christ on the Cross.

We go there, now that Law has shown us what we are.... we are 'sinners".

And, "'"Jesus came into the world to save sinners"""".. and all of us Qualified long ago.

We then go to the Cross, trust in Christ..... and Christ become this for us..

"God hath made Jesus, to BE SIN.... for us"...

"Jesus is the ONE TIME, Eternal Sacrifice, for sin"...

And now that Jesus has dealt without our sin by His SACRIFICE.... we are then given by God... the "Gift of Salvation" that is "the Gift of Righteousness", which is the "imputed righteous of Christ".... And all of this is "the Gift of Eternal Life".

And so, what has happened here?

It this......there is a Divine Exchange..that has happened, whereby we came to the Cross as a Sinner and Jesus became our sin and our sin bearer and JESUS is JUDGED TO DEATH for them all.. And HIS Righteousness, now becomes ours, as "the Gift of Righteousness", and now we are "made righteous"...having become .....>"THE righteousness of God, in Christ".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does it mean to be given "the imputed righteousness of Christ"?

Its simply means that the Holy and Perfect and Sinless Life that Jesus lived "under the law", is given to us, as if we lived it.

So, Jesus has our sin, and we have HIS Righteousness if we are born again.........and that is the : DIVINE Exchange.

Now you must be born again, to have received it...and not just be water baptized and religious.

See that? That is the BORN ... AGAIN.... CHRISTian.. the "Son/Daughter of God".

And that is not your body, as your body is "dead because of sin".. and its not your mind, as your mind is not born again, and it has to be renewed.
The renewed mind is simply..... = to ONLY and ALWAY see yourself as the Born again Christian, exactly as God sees you this way, which is forever.
God never sees the born again as lost or unsaved or as a sinner.
He only see the born again as .. "IN CHRIST">.. "Seated in heavenly places"... as "ONE With God"... "made Righteous".

So, its the BORN Again SPIRIT that is the "new Creation".. "In Christ".. , not the body or the mind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Paul goes further... He then says...

"Christ is the END...OF...THE. .... LAW... for Righteousness, to everyone who believes" = born again.

"Jesus has redeemed us from the ... CURSE.... OF... THE ... LAW""..

And that Reader is the completion of the Masterpiece that is God's Redemption.

Why? Because, if the born again were still under the law, subsequent to being born again, then the Law could define your future carnality as sin, and you as a sinner.

But because the Born again.....

= "Are not under the law......but under GRACE"... then the Law can't define your deeds as anything, ever again.

So. if you say..."well, what about this that i did".

A.) "God hath made JESUS to be sin for us"
AA.) "Jesus is the ONE TIME.... Eternal Sacrifice.. .for SIN">...
AAA.) "the born again are not under the Law, but under Grace".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And what are you now, if you are born again, and not just water baptized and religious?

A.) Saint

And here is the final wonder, regarding Paul's Teaching... that im showing you..

Do you recall the Harlot.. who.... "was forgiven much"....and she crawled across a hard dirty stone floor on her hands and knees.
Why?
To worship Her LORD Jesus The Christ.... .
How?
By washing His feet with her tears and then wiped them dry with her Hair.

See that? That is how the Grace filled heart reacts to the Grace of God.
It does not want to go out and live like the devil.
And we when understand this "Gift of SALVATION""" that is to be free from the Law and under Grace.. we find that we are even more forgiven than the Harlot, as our forgiveness is ETERNAL LIFE IN Christ.
And that causes us to want to love God more and serve God more, the more we realize what God has ETERNALLY completed for us Through The Cross of Christ.

And now that the Law, this HOLY MIRROR has let us see ourselves as compared to God's Holiness... we recognize what we are..

Why does God want us to see His Instruction in righteousness? According to Scriptures it's so we can "DO" the following.

2 Chron. 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from "their" wicked ways; "then" will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Is. 55: 7 Let the wicked forsake "his way", and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Ez. 18: 30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you "a new heart and a new spirit": for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

I could go on and on. Of course, the deceiver would say, "This is the old covenant, and we are no longer expected to turn away from our sins, Jesus does that for us".

But let's hear what Paul actually teaches. And keep in mind that "Repent" doesn't mean simply to recognize our sin, but to turn from them.

Acts 24: 13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. 14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing "all things" which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Acts 26: 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works "meet for repentance."

Eph. 4: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; (Just as the Spirit of Crist inspired Ezekiel to teach us.)

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (How can we know what God's Righteousness and God's Holiness is unless we hear His Laws?

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

There are too many Scriptures in the bible to post them all which describes for those Seeking God's Truth, which clearly explain why God's Law exists.

So God's Law isn't for the purpose of comparing ourselves to God, it's showing us how we can become Perfect, even as God is perfect. This is what Paul teaches. Paul understood the instruction from the Rock of Israel, the Word of God which became flesh. "Be Ye Perfect" even as God is perfect. Of course, the deceiver would say, "Are you perfect Paul? Are you perfect Study man", in their attempt to turn us away from Christ's instruction. But Paul and I have the same reply to these "many" who come in Christ's Name.

Phil. 3: 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

We press towards perfection. Casting away all of our transgressions. Becoming, not hears of God's Law, but "doers" as Jesus instructed. This is the whole duty of man, as it is written.

Ecc. 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.

I'll continue in another post.

 

[Behold]

We press towards perfection. Casting away all of our transgressions.

You dont "cast away your Transgressions". @Studyman

You allow Jesus to die for them on the Cross. (By Faith).

You should do that, asap, @Studyman , as then you'll stop trying to cast them away.

Here is the verse that gets you there.

Jesus said...."You must be born again", and water baptism, can't do that for you., nor can commandment keeping or trying to "cast away your Transgressions".

And now that the Law, this HOLY MIRROR has let us see ourselves as compared to God's Holiness... we recognize what we are..

1.) = "all have sinned".. "there is none righteous, no not one"..

The deceiver would have us believe Paul is speaking about all people, even the Body of Christ here and it mixes the 2 sentences and takes them out of context. Lets see what Paul actually wrote.

8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, (See Romans 2:6-11) that they "are" all under sin;

The deceiver would have us believe there is no difference between the Pharisees Paul was speaking to "whose damnation is just", and those who have repented, turned to God, and were "Pressing toward the prize" of perfection.

Paul quotes Psalms 14 to make his point about those who persecute the Church of God, but the deceiver tries to make it about those who God is in as well. "Ps. 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (Speaking of the fools and workers of iniquity)

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

The deceiver has promoted for years and years through this world's religions, that Paul is speaking about everybody here, including the Body of Christ. He is not. Psalms 14, and Psalms 5 and Romans 3 are all speaking of men "Whose damnation is just".

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Psalms 5: 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in "their" mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; "their" throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

It's right there for anyone to look and I pray that you do. When you do, you will see that religious men are wresting Paul's teaching, as they do the other Scriptures as well.

So, this REVELATION that the Law has provided to us...., leads us to God's Grace that is Christ on the Cross. We go there, now that Law has shown us what we are.... we are 'sinners".

We are shown what SIN is so we can "turn away" from it. "Cast our sins away". Read what is actually written. Don't take a verse here and there, and separate it from the rest of the bible, then mold it to fit whichever religious philosophy of this world we picked.

So I will ask you a question. "When Paul said "Their throat is an open sepulcher, there is none that seeks God", was he speaking of Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Zacharias, Simeon, Stephen, James, Rehab, David James, Peter, Cornelious, Paul and other members of God's Church? Or was he speaking about those who "who eat up God's people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD."?

When a person establishes the Biblical Truth of this part of Paul's teaching, they can understand the rest of his teaching. But if they are deceived regarding Paul's teaching here, this leaven will infect the rest of the religious philosophy.

2 Thess. 2: 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

You dont "cast away your Transgressions". @Studyman
You allow Jesus to die for them on the Cross. (By Faith).

I posted the Rock of Israel's own Words. The Christ Himself, who became a man in the person of Jesus, telling men to "cast away" their sins. Clearly you don't believe in this Christ. I might advise you that in the times when Scripture contradicts your own adopted religious philosophy, that it should be your religious philosophy which is abandoned, not the Inspired Word of God.

The Jesus "of the Bible" Himself, taught to "Repent" first. Just like Paul does in his teaching that I posted, and you also ignored.

Luke 13: 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

What is the difference between a man being told to "Repent" of their sins, and "Cast away their sins"?

Jesus speaks of Christians who hold to your religious philosophy in Matt. 7:22,23. Like you, they had waited their whole lives for Jesus to die for them on the cross. Then, "in that day" when we all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ, they made their case. But what did Jesus say to these Christians? "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, "ye that work iniquity"."

They had no belief/no faith in the Word of God which became flesh. Therefore, no repentance, not "striving against sin", no "Pressing for the prize of perfection".

Repent; "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour"

Repent; Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

You don't cast away transgressions. But the Body of the Christ of the Bible most certainly did.

You should do that, asap, @Studyman , as then you'll stop trying to cast them away.

Yes, if I listen to the "Other voice" in the garden God placed me in, and I adopt your religion it is promoting, which would cause me to abandon God's Word, then this is true. I will stop listening to God and His Son and I will stop following HIS clear instruction, that I posted but you refuse to believe, to cast away my sins.

And then I will be just like the religions of this world since Cain.

But I can't do that @#Behold. Because I believe in the Jesus "of the Bible".

Here is the verse that gets you there.

Jesus said...."You must be born again", and water baptism, can't do that for you., nor can commandment keeping or trying to "cast away your Transgressions".

I understand you have your religion, and you are here to promote it. And it is truly a seductive religion where you get to make up your own way, your own judgments, your own righteousness, your own sabbaths and high days etc. Surely the broad path you have chosen is much easier to walk, you don't have to actually listen to God or "yield yourself" a servant to obey Him as Paul teaches. You just preach to others that Jesus did all this for you so you can live how you please. And before I studied the bible for myself, I was also snared by these same religions.

But what if God, and the Jesus "of the bible", and their Words are not the deceivers? What if they are speaking the truth, and it is you and others who have adopted this world's seductive religions that God warned us about, who are deceived?

Surely a man should consider the possibility that it isn't the bible, which is leading men away from God, rather, as Paul teaches, it is men who have "Transformed themselves" into apostles of Christ, that promote deceptions.

At any rate, it seems prudent to point out the truth of scriptures when discerning the various religious philosophies being promoted by the religions in this world, by the men who have adopted them.

Actually it's very SIMPLE Jesus made a SIN OFFERING on Calvary. WHen God DRAWS a person (john 6:44) by convicting them of their SIN , the person REPENTS of their SIN, and cries out to God in FAITH for salvation. Then The Hly SPirit indwells the person, and makes them Christians. simple as that.

 

[Behold]

There is a wide eyed heretic on another forum, who may come here..
He is one of the worse deceivers i have ever had the pleasure of HIGHLIGHTING, using the CROSS of Christ.
He will post Videos, and Threads, and argue till the Sun burns out..... that "The Cross is not about Forgiveness".. and "God does not give his Righteousness to anyone"..

So....Beware of that one, as he's a clever devil.

Also, God is not looking for repentance from Sin... He's looking for repentance from Unbelief., as that is how you turn to FAITH in Christ.

See, ""while we were YET SINNERS, Christ died for us"..

and...

"To THOSE who worketh not, but believeth on God who justifies the UNGODLY.. (not the repenting sinner)... their FAITH is counted (by God) as Righteousness".

"Epi".

He's a forum scourge.

He'll constantly talk about ... "a higher walk in Zion".. and "The Outer man"..

And when i say "constantly"... he'll rant for 60, 70, pages... He'll have everyone fighting Him, and then he leaves, and come back the next day, and starts again.
That's his "game".

The first time i talked to Him about Salvation through the Cross of Christ that is : John 14:6... He told me.....>>"you are just using Jesus as your whipping boy", and all that "Grace", is just "Free stuff".

I kid you not.
He's a seriously Cross offending heretic.
