Brunei's new laws

I'm a Johny come lately to this thread, but wasn't the atonement the divine remedy to original sin?

Just Adam’s sin? Where do you find that in scripture? We were turned into sinners due to Adam and set free by Jesus Christ from our sins. I don’t know of any verses that limit what Jesus did to justify us from Adam’s sins alone.

I have to see the justification for that doctrine!

Jesus died for the sins of all of mankind, so that those who live righteously will enter the Kingdom of God and who does not will be cast out.

Okay then not just Adam’s sin but all of mankind’s sins. The living righteously, you think that can be done without God in the life of any person?

So you found my answer. God and Christ get to decide who lives righteously and do good works, and why and how they did it, and will reward them accordingly. Dont ask me again.

You have not actually answered my question! You telling God will have the say who has lived a holy righteous life is not responding to can anyone live a holy righteous life without God.

Can you address the question asked please?

That is the only answer you are going to get. People should not concern themselves with who they think has God and who they think has not. God decides who pleases him and they will be rewarded accordingly.

God is pleased with righteousness and good works, and according to Jesus Christ, those who do good works will enter the Kingdom of God.

You can continue to boast that YOU have the Spirit of Christ or Gods Spirit but that gets you nowhere.

It doesn’t matter if people think someone has God or not. It matters if God has us, it matters if we have God’s Spirit who He gives to His own.

You don’t accept the scripture that talks about God’s Spirit as truth?

Quote the scripture and tell me what you think it means.

I will tomorrow when I get a little time. Ponder how you are going to answer my question too.

I need to ponder nothing. You have been doing these many years now and my answers remain unchanged.

Than you should not have an issue stating it? Can we live sinless righteous lives without God within us?

I'll have some scripture for you shortly, starting my day a little busy right now.

Nobody is sinless. Many are righteous.
I dont understand your question.

Is the only way to be made righteous by works only, faith only or both?

You genuinely don't know his answer to this?!

If you are not sinless what makes you righteous before God, isn’t a holy life clean before God. Are you saying God accepts sin? I am not sure what you mean! How does God give forgiveness by our earning it, or is it a gift!
