By the way I did quote scripture I just did it in line. Like in fact all New Testament writers do... look at how that book is written. Please tell truth about me. It’s easy to complain about the negative. Can you trace the positive? If it is not yet adequate, the Lord will forgive, but we are dealing with a positive Christ. In Him every promise is yes. He never said that in Him every prohibition is no.

I stand corrected on that point, but a high percentage of your posts do not quote a single scripture. I myself am wary of any assertion of man, and tend to take God literally, even to the point of examining what the scriptures say in the original tongues (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek).

The word translated “grace” in Romans 6:14 is Greek χάρις, which generally translates as “kindness” or to be shown (undue) favor, and the following verse declares that anyone under grace has no permission to sin (i.e. break God’s law). Recall that people can also fall from grace (Galatians 5:4) if they think they can be justified by the law alone without Christ’s sacrifice and subsequent rising from the dead; this demonstrates the law to still be in effect, along with the Old Testament verses that show the commandments to be established forever (the Hebrew word Olam does indeed mean “forever”).
