I have four friends who are couples and they have a live-in arrangement with their respective partners. They are all not married. Can you please help me reprove their immoral behavior, using Scripture and sound advice, in a firm yet gentle manner? I am having a difficult time as I don't want to be meddling in their "business" (it is none of my business after all,) but what they are doing is immoral.
Could you please explain 1 Corinthians 6:18 - "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
How do you define sin nature? I believe in the concept of original sin inherited from Adam, but recently I was told that sin is actually in our blood. I have believed that sin is in our nature, but I'd never thought of it as actually being in our blood.
Describe how people were saved in the Old Testament after the law was given?
From a hermeneutical and grammatical exegesis of Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. It would be required to believe that works were necessary for salvation; and now they are not. Also, note the companion verse Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; If it is no more of works and now you get righteousness without the law, then isn't it clear that it used to be of works and used to be by the law?
