No. Nowhere is that explicitly said, and never take scripture out of context.

Grace is what protects you from the penalty of breaking the law; it does not permit you to continue to break the law once you’ve repented of its breach. (Otherwise, what is repentance?) Take careful note of Romans 6:2.

1 John 3:4 makes it crystal clear that “sin is the transgression of the law”. There is no new law being referred to apart from the law that was written with God’s own finger on Mount Horeb. Also, take careful note of 1 John 3:9. Nobody can be justified by the law alone, because apart from God it is impossible to keep the law anyway, but those who are born of God have the law indwelling.

“Grace is what protects you from the penalty of breaking the law; it does not permit you to continue to break the law once you’ve repented of its breach. (Otherwise, what is repentance?) Take careful note of Romans 6:2.”

NO! GRACE is what takes AWAY the sin. Redeemed by the Blood of Christ believers are NO LONGER STAINED BY SIN NOR ARE THEY ALIVE TO THE LAW OF MOSES. Believers are DEAD to the law, period. Jesus Christ died in our place once and for all, He does NOT die in your place over and over and over every time you sin. That is catholic nonsense.

“1 John 3:4 makes it crystal clear that “sin is the transgression of the law”. There is no new law being referred to apart from the law that was written with God’s own finger on Mount Horeb. Also, take careful note of 1 John 3:9. Nobody can be justified by the law alone, because apart from God it is impossible to keep the law anyway, but those who are born of God have the law indwelling.”

MORE BS about the Law of Moses. Believers have the Spirit of God indwelling them. The law of the Spirit sets believers FREE from the Law of sin and death. A believer who sins grieves the Holy Spirit, but it no longer holds the power of death over the believer because Jesus’ blood already paid the price for it. The strangle hold of death via the Law is OVER for believers, FINISHED.

You cannot have BOTH. You CANNOT be a redeemed by the Blood of Christ believer and still live, or attempt to live, the Law. The Law holds NO POWER over the life of the believer. The Bible tells us to consider ourselves DEAD to the Law, and ALIVE in the Spirit. Live according to the Spirit of God that indwells you, and stop wasting your time and your salvation trying to account to the Law.

What kind of denial is this? You deny plain scripture for your own pet doctrine? I've just given you a bunch of very explicit and supporting sculptures.

never take scripture out of context>

Never think an assertion is an argument. Explain with New Covenant scriptural support what is "out of context".

Grace...does not permit you to continue to break the law...

Wow, nice pet doctrine. However, the scripture I've provided say other wise. "You are not under the law" (Romans 6:14).

what is repentance?

I've already explained that as well. Reread my original comment.

There is no new law being referred to

More invented doctrine by Olog-hai.

Try
- the law of Christ (1 John 4:23)
- the law of faith (Romans 3:27)
- the law of liberty (James 2:12)

You summarily push aside scriptures condoning salvation and perfection by grace and those condemning justification by works.

Your mixture of law and grace and denial of scripture teaching otherwise puts you in danger of the double curse pronounced in Galatians 1:6-9 -

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
