I'm sorry what?

The law was not abolished it was full filled in Christ. Praise God!

True, it was fulfilled but for Christians it was abolished see Romans 10:4, For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone that believeth.

Not true. Sins do 'count' The process of repentance is not a simple or painless one.

Chapter and verse, please. I stand on Romans 10:9&10.

Personal experience.

So you are your own god? I prefer to follow the bible. I used to be my own god, and that didn't work worth a damn.

What is ' forgive our sins" It is the proper understanding of this that confuses people... If Jehovah God ' forgave' our sins,and death still remains, how loving is that...? So really, sin is death...and a loving God Jehovah is removing death from us...if we are obedient. Jesus PAID the price for it, with his sacrifice.

Sin, singular, is the absence of spirit. Adam had a spirit but it died and so he was unable to bequeath a spirit to his offspring. That is why everybody is born in sin, not because Mommy and Daddy did the big nasty. That is why a savior had to die in our place and make it possible to create a new spirit for us. Sins, plural, are mistakes, such as throwing a dart and missing the bullseye. Christians are baptised into Christ's death, and dead bodies don't sin, so sins are not an issue for Christians. There is no more forgiveness. Either you believe in Jesus and are saved or you don't believe and are lost. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read every day. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. You will notice that most of the religious crap you hear from random preachers isn't in there at all. It is made up.

"there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20) and that "if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). What is sin? James said, "To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17). John described sin as "all unrighteousness" (1 John 5:17) and "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4).

Luke 16:"15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."

2nd Corinthians chapter 7 all of it. But most especially: "9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."

Luke 13:3 and 5 is identical "3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

Ezekiel 18 all of it. Isaiah chapter 1. don't deceive yourself. Sin counts and repentance is necessary to reconcile ourselves back with God!

Linda, nothing in the old testament refers to Christians. Nothing Jesus said refers to Christians. It was a secret, as specified in Ephesians 3:5. The entire book of Romans explains over and over that it is believing that counts. "Repent" was the advice of John The Baptizer to Jews. Nothing to do with Christians or gentiles.

You believe what you choose to believe, and I'll do the same. Its not your place to tell me what to believe. I know what I know and I can't deny it. You can pick which part of The Bible you wish to believe, or even none of it, but I will be held accountable for all I know is true.

Isaiah 42:6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
