2 Corinthians 3:7 (KJV)

But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
The 10 commandments are written and engraved on stones, it's called a ministry of death.

Try and explain that. What is this ministry of death?

Death, define it.

Saved is by the blood of Christ, by faith. What's is faith? Faith is the ability to believe, given by God. By faith we can fulfill the commandment because Christ fulfilled it already.

You sounds like a non perfect Christian unless he's perfect in this life he's not saved. That's not justification by faith, that's perfectionism which we will never attain in this life, even great spiritual being still can sins. But since we are Christian we should be able to show good fruits or change in our life. But the good deeds does not justify us. It is because by faith through Christ we can have those good deeds aka fruits.

You're not answering my question.

Why look to death?

I'm not siding which one, I just state what it means by justification by faith, it is not like once you believed you can sin or still be saved, that should not be a Christian's attitude.

A roman Catholic can also be a calvinists? As I know many rc didn't read their bible

I'm a protestant Christian

Why don't you ask there is a reformation. Rc and protestant view of the doctrine is different. Eg. we don't pray to the St, we don't have pope etc..

When we discuss other non baptisms doctrine you will say I'm of Presbyterian.

Why do still look to the law? That is my question.

There is no grace there and it's not occasion death my friend, it is a MINISTRY OF DEATH.

Yes Christ brought the law higher in book of Matthew. If nobody could really fulfill the OT law, what makes you think you're able to fulfill this higher law in OT?

Do you understand Romans 5:20?

Romans 5:20 (KV) -
Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

Why do you want to keep looking to the OT law that was design to increase offense?

No, that is not right, the full context = Fight the good fight of "FAITH".

Meaning keep on believing in what Christ did. That is the meaning of Christ saving us.

You are in essence purporting, one has to keep fighting to save himself.

It's either you save yourself or Christ save you, the title savior can only be on either one.

Not unless you're implying you and Christ are conferred the title of savior of man.

No right?

Erm, that is not what the scripture says.

It didn't say the sinner becomes more guilty, it says the the law entered in that the offense might abound.

Read it properly.

Where do you bank your hope in?

In Christ or in yourself? Or in both?

It's not my reasoning, it is scripture
New King James Version
Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
It didn't say sinner is more aware of his sin. The word sinner is not there. but the word offense or transgress is there.

And you can tell me about own judgement and own interpretation of scripture? it's on you bro.

You say in Christ of course but you use the phrase initial grace meaning Christ only give you starting grace, after that it's all on your own. Where is the hope after that? Seems to be geared towards ownself rather than on Christ.

Sorry don't understand your question.

As what it is...the law was brought in so that sin may abound.

What I'm trying to say? not me but scripture says the design of the law = to increase sin.

That's what it is, though it may sound contradictory to you, it doesn't to me.

That is precisely why I look to Christ and not to OT God's Law.

No, God is telling you...you cannot measure up no matter how you try.

His Law will prove that to be right.

Look at the context

Philippians 4:10-13
10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. 12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Talking about the physicality challenges.

The whole point of the new covenant is to look away from the OT Law and look to Christ as the anchor point where there is Grace, no more the law.

Look, nobody in here is suggesting that you go ahead and sin. Just give it a rest, it's that part where people put words into my mouth not giving the chance to try to understand what I'm trying to explain.

Oh yeah?!  Then how do you keep this one -----> £ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy £
