It astounds me how so many people don't get this, you included...
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Does it say we no longer do any of those things??? No it doesn't...It says we trusted Jesus in spite of our sins and he washed us clean...
Is this next verse in your bible???
Rom_4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
We are not under the law so we are not under sin...So how does this work???
Rom_7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
It was Paul's will to do good but not for favor with God as you guys do...If fact, Paul couldn't do the good Jesus talks about...He wasn't capable...
Php_2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
God gives us the necessary will AND the ability to do good...
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Even tho Paul continued to sin, he was delivered from that sin...He was not under the law...
WHERE in the bible is the NEW COVENANT that you referenced?
