Romans Chapter 3 Discussion Page 6

Paul always writes like I think is sound.

I "DO" know this: JEHOVAH GOD spoke "verbally" three things to me during the trial. In 1 John 4:1, I found it to be a spiritual warfare. I was "not" prepared. It took me to the edge of sanity, a battle in the mind that produced visible revelation.
1. Louvenia, who comes to ME and reasons with ME or persuade ME that I may change my mind;
2. Louvenia, who decides between you (man) and ME (GOD HIMSELF) who is right or who is wrong;
3. HE said to me: you go to your director and he tells you something, then your co-worker tells you something else, now you change your mind with new information. JEHOVAH GOD said, look I know "all" things. I AM ALMIGHTY GOD, no one can come to ME and tell ME anything I do not already know. This is why I do not change my mind/break a promise. The spiritual warfare left me undecided toward life, knowing that ALL things are in subjections to ALMIGHTY GOD approval. So NO, NO, NO, if men believe or do not believe, I believe this does not move GOD to break HIS promise or HIS will. Trust me, By faith! I requested death (cursed! myself), in order to separate myself from the very thing I was in the midst of. Only to awake! And find myself instructed and repositioned, in that very thing! I was in the midst of 1 John 4:1 Spiritual warfare. I personally found that death did not separate me from ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, because I knew what death is.

When you’re born again Romans 10:9-10, you have the faith of Jesus Christ, after that it is by believing, the word faith is Greek word Pistis, in the grace administration which covers Romans through to Thessalonians, most of usages of faith should be translated believing, 2 Timothy 2:15.

In response to Kenneth on verse 30. By faith is one acting upon and through faith is believing. Look at Hebrews 11. All of them acted by faith, then in verse 11 Sara just believed through faith.

To Kenneth on 9/23/2011, the words 'by' and 'through' are prepositions used synonymously in Romans 3:30. It doesn't matter if we are Jew or Gentile, faith in God is what ultimately counts.

i thank God for the book of romans i say that because it let me know who i am and if it wasnt for hes grace and redemption that is in Christ Jesus that i would be on my way to hell God is so great i share this words because God is so real everything about him !!!!!!!!!!

I'm a practising Christian. I regard myself as having 'signed up' at some point in my past, and attend a boisterous CofE church. But in my darkest moments of doubt it occurs to me how absolute is the vision of Man in these words. Christians want nothing short of perfection (for themselves and unfortunately sometimes of others). How can we, human-all-too-human beings use that vision in our daily lives without an huge subconcious arrogance. Sometimes it seems I become aware of that secret arrogance and flip over into the most morbid thoughts of isolation and worthlessness in immense cold Universe. In that state I watch myself gradually return to a smug forgetfulness of the intuition. Yes, I have sinned/do sin. Yes, I ask forgiveness. But what rings most true to me is Jeremiah 17:9.

in rom.3:30. what is the difference between being justifide by faith and justifide through faith

Belief isn't necessary to Receive Grace. Nor is a man's unbelief enough to slacken the promise and faith of God.

The Bible is not a Law Book for the purpose of beating people over their heads.

Ye must be perfect. Nothing less. Perfection is a judicial imputation from God the Father to anyone who believes or agrees with the Gospel. There's nothing mystical about faith. In regard to salvation, it is to simply agree with God's report. Of course the stakes are high. We should understand our destiny beyond time is the issue.

Why do so many complicate "faith". Again, it is nothing more than agreement with information that you cannot prove empirically.

Once we believe or agree with the Gospel, God imputes judicial righteousness to us. We are the equivalent of someone who never broker the law. It is an oxymoron of grace. We are judicially perfect, yet still a sinner.

Lay aside the lies of "election" according to Calvin. Lay aside the lie that salvation is an ongoing process involving our works and sacrifices.

The work is done. It is finished. Sin is dead to the extent of penalty, spiritual death. Certainly, we don't have the license to sin, to take advantage of God's grace. But, when we do sin, by acknowledging our sins, God the Father is faithful and just to forgive us and to restore fellowship.

The faith of Jesus is the righteousness of God. If we believe God, through Jesus Christ, that the Word of God is true, then we are given the power by way of His Spirit to become children of God. The heart has to be converted. Remember, we are saved by Grace through Faith (I believe this is the Faith of Jesus). My faith has no power to save anyone, much less myself. I have to believe God and it will show by what I do. Faith is in Jesus. Christ is everything!! To receive Jesus is to receive His Word because He is the Word. If we don't feed on Jesus, there is no life (eternal). We feed on Jesus by reading and studying His Word and then by putting it into practice, which shows we believe. We pray to God, by way of Jesus with faith, believing that we receive Grace by what we believe. The two main requirements for salvation is to believe and repent. If we don't turn away from sin, then we don't believe and we know what happens to those who continue in sin or those who turn back to sin.
Gotta go!

Romans is the dynamite of God. It tells us what we were, what we are, and what we shall be. If you have a strong knowledge of Romans, you WILL stay strong in the LORD. Read it, mediate upon it, believe it, and REMEMBER what it says. Use it to lead others to Christ. Rom. 10:17

good place(but obviously not the only place) to get the fundamentals of the christian faith; the
faith that saves. by this understanding i was led
to know god through the blood of jesus. praise god.

The Book Of Romans is a very good book to minister from and the best verse to say to someone who isn't saved Romans 3:23 For all has sinned and come short of the glory of God But you tell tell it says and the bible that it say you are forgiven thou Jesus Christ

The book of Romans is a letter written by Paul, explaining what we must do as Chrsit followers. We must die to the law of Moses, the law of sin, the law of the land, the law that shows us our sind and our neighbors sin. We must be born again into a new law. The heavenly law. The law of Faith and Love. If it was not for the law of sin the how would one know what sin is? A true servent of Christ can look at his neighbor and see no sin for he live by faith and not by the law. You say "but we can not just go around doing what we want, who will hold us accountable if not the law?" The Holy Spirit will hold us accountable, by the Heavenly law.

this has always been one of my favorite verses, it shows us that we really can't live up to what God requires to get into heaven. If you are to read only this verse you might think that it wasn't possible to obtain the Glory of God, but even in His glory he has compassion enough to send His only son to die for us, even the ones that obvisously don't except Him. It is so encouraging to think that MY God is a God of love.

I LOVE TO READ GOD WORD THE BOOK OF ROMANS IS TELLING US WE NEED TO PART FROM SIN WELL THE WORD OF GOD LET'S US NO WHAT WE MUST DO I THINK THE BOOK OF ROMANS TEACHES US GOOD MORAL STANDERS I LIKE THE BOOK OF ROMANS LIKE I SAY I ENJOY READING THE BOOK
