Not zeal for Jesus though, that is little too effeminate and wishy-washy..."<br /><br />So true! And when James does focus on Jesus Christ, God the Father usually takes a backseat and is almost invisible, but that law-thing?<br /><br />James Malm cannot see his own SELF-Righteousness within. Malm is ignorant of God's righteousness. How so?<br /><br />"For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." Romans 10:3 <br /><br />Although James Malm has established his own righteousness, it is his SELF-Righteousness staring him in the face, and law?<br /><br />Has James Malm not read how the law is contrary to him, to us and against him and us?<br /><br />"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was AGAINST us, which was CONTRARY TO us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Col 2:14<br /><br />The law is against us, contrary to us, because none of us can really keep it at this time. It has been appointed unto us once to die. Death is the wages for sin. We all sin.<br /><br />James Malm can't help himSELF.<br /><br />Let's take the Sabbath as one example. Can James Malm say that he perfectly keeps holy God's Sabbath day for all 24 hours without sinning once? That's 1440 minutes! Who but Jesus Christ, by God's Spirit I might add, could possibly do that?<br /><br />And Malm's version of zeal is lacking something:<br /><br />"For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." Romans 10:2<br /><br />And time will tell...<br /><br />John <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
