Your sins, Judy, have a display here on TT. We all have the experience. Yours is stubbornness, DM's is arrogance. Shields is a refusal to admit wrong doing. Mine is obstinance (perhaps). Lance's has something to do with living in Canada. Gary's , well, I can't think of anything just yet, but I will give it continued thought.
I believe in the power to become a son of God. I was made one fully and completely on the cross and benefitted from it the moment I turned to Him for the issues of life (repentance).
I am not complacent about my sin, but you are. It is complacency that denies the existence of sin when sin is present.
Thank goodness we don't have to be right to be saved !!!

Speak for yourself ONLY JD. The power to become a son of God has been sent already.
Whether or not you choose to walk in it rather than believe tradition along with doctrines that
exempt you and cause you to be complacent in your sin is between yourself and your own
conscience.
Jesus left us an example that we should follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21)
And this same Jesus also stated "the works I do shall you do also and greater" (John 14:12)
The impotent person still bogged down in trespasses and sin who only has great swelling
words of man's wisdom to hold on to will find this impossible because of their unbelief.
However Jesus ever the obedient Son only said what He first heard the Father say - so
this is straight from headquarters. Accept or reject, take it or leave it....

The correct way of saying it is this: nobody has the power to walk as Christ walked."Works of the law" is "obedience to the law." There is no other way, exegetically speaking, to consider those words.Jd

Nobody has the power to walk as Christ walked without the cross. You confuse obedience with works. They are not the same. My obedience is not a work. My obedience comes out of my relationship with someone I love. Peace be with you.
