WHAT NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE IN CHRIST REALLY MEANS FOR US- ROM.8:1

By Edward O’Hara, If we are still supposed to keep the law even after we have been saved. And if we do not God punishes us for it. Then how could Paul say this? This is a contradiction if we are all still supposed to keep the law. Where does condemnation come from? Where does guilt come from? Why was it that Adam and Eve were only afraid after they disobeyed God? Why didn’t they feel condemned or ashamed? Oh, you thought they did feel shame after eating the fruit? You thought that this is why they hid from God? Well read the passage for yourself and you will find out that fear was what caused them to hide from God. Not shame or guilt. Paul taught that guilt and condemnation comes from the law of sin and death. The…

“NOT IMPUTED” IS WHY PAUL COULD SAY THERE WAS NO LAW FROM ADAM TILL MOSES- Rom.5:13 AND WHY THIS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IF WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE…

HNewsWire: Sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses. This is what Paul taught in Rom.5:13,14. This does not mean that God had never given instructions to people before Moses. It is clear all through Genesis that He did. What Paul is saying is that the instructions God gave to Moses were different in that they carried with them penalties for their violation. Otherwise known as imputation. But, instructions for Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and others who lived before the law was given through Moses, if not kept by them, were winked at by God. So says Paul about “the times of this ignorance” when he was witnessing to the unbelievers at Mars’ Hill in Acts17:30. But, now that Jesus has come Paul says, God instructs all men every where to repent.…

LIVING SOUL OR LIVING SPIRIT IS WHAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Edward

https://rumble.com/embed/v1mhwg9/?pub=4aes9 When Adam was made God said he “became a living soul”. Strong’s defines a living soul, nephesh in Hebrew, as a living breathing creature. When Paul wrote about what Adam was when he was made he gleaned this truth from what he read in this Genesis account. And in 1Cor.15:45,46 he said Adam was a living soul. And that he was not spiritual, but only natural just like the animals, birds, and creeping things when he was made. And he pointed out the difference between his being only natural, with the living spirit that Jesus was when He was made to come as a man. Living referring to Jesus’ body. And spirit referring to His Spirit. Paul could not have been referring to Jesus’ body as spiritual. Because Heb.2:14 says His body was the same flesh and blood that…

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR DEFINITION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS INCLUDES WORKS?

How do you attain righteousness. By works? Or by faith? Let’s do an examination and see, ok? Do you believe when Paul taught none are righteous it was because all fall short of God’s perfect standard of law keeping? If you do then you have missed the mark as surely as anyone who says there is no God.   In Rom.4 Paul taught that righteousness is only attained by faith. He says that Abraham was righteous because he believed God. And that if it were by works, and in this case Paul is not referring to works of the law because Abraham was before there was law, Abraham would have grounds to boast.   In John17:3 Jesus said eternal life is knowing God. In Gal.3:21 Paul said life and righteousness are synonymous. In John6:28,29 Jesus said the work they must…
