Re: If law "inexcusable", did Jesus condemn himself by law imputing sin?

My thoughts on it are already posted in your forum here:
http://pub30.bravenet.com/forum/2526810710/show/1069441

God was not the Judge who, by using the law, condemned Jesus to die. Jesus did not condemn himself through the Law, he condemned the wicked through his own death. His innocent blood is in their hands. The law of God, which says "Thou shalt not bear false witness" was used against him in order to condemn him when he said that he was the Christ, the Son of Man. The Jews called his claim “blasphemy” and Peter denied him three times. Jesus did not have a witness to support his claim.
Was the law wrong or impure? No
Did Jesus lie or was he impure? No
So what is the problem? It is in the SIN of the unjust wicked who pervert the Law. The problem is not the Law of God, and the problem is not in Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus.

The law of God, when used in Judgment, imputes sin, but the enmity (enemy/hostility) in the flesh is not CAUSED by the law itself. It is CAUSED by sin working in the flesh. Is the law sin? God forbid. The law merely exposes the sin. Sin does not come from the law, nor from God; it comes from Satan. On the other hand, when the law imputes righteousness, righteousness is not CAUSED by the law, and does not come from the law; it comes from the GRACE of God, and that grace is the gift that purifies the heart unto righteousness. Without the Gift, there can be no righteousness; all will die by the law because of SIN. Jesus died for our SINS and was the sacrifice for the removal and forgiveness of our SINS, not for the removal and forgiveness of the Law. Jesus condemned SIN in the flesh, he did not condemn the Law in the flesh. The carnal mind is enmity against God, not the Law.

Who will be rewarded with destruction at the time of the end when the world stands before the Judgment Seat of Christ? Satan and his evil servants/followers who hold the wickedness of SIN.
Who will be rewarded with salvation at the time of the end when the world stands before the Judgment Seat of Christ? The Righteous servants/followers of Jesus who hold the righteousness of faith.
How does Christ, who is the righteous Judge/King, impute wickedness unto the wicked and righteousness unto the righteous? Through a righteous Judgment according to the perfect Law of God.

Matt 5:17-20
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. -- For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. -- Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. -- For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Daniel, you repeatedly keep quoting Romans 10:4 “Christ is the end of the law” to support your pursuit of “This vs. That”, but you do not understand that the Law is NOT the problem. The problem is SIN. Through the taking away of SIN and giving of the Gift (faith --> righteousness) there is NO ENMITY anymore. Sin is taken out of the way, not the Law.

Romans 10:3-4 “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. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
When standing in front of the judgment seat of Christ, only the non-believers have to worry about the effects of The Law. For the believers, Christ has made an end of the effect of the Law because he has taken sin out of the way, and therefore the enmity. The believers, through faith, can now enter into the Kingdom of God, Eternal Life. Thank you Jesus.

Dear JK,

Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The "grace" Noah found in the eyes of the LORD was neither pure grace, nor impartial; But grace + law, especially if Noah did both: "all God commanded" and "all the LORD commanded", which were contrary things. This sort of grace was partial to Noah and his family; To eight 'souls', who were perhaps not yet spiritual, but soulish, who all died and received not the promise: Hebrews 11, since do the will of God precedes receive the promise: Hebrews 10:36. And the will of God is: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: Matthew 9:13 (from Hosea 6:6), which meaneth I will have grace and not law when studied out.

So we are to divide assunder soul & spirit: Hebrews 4:12, as with first Adam (soul) & last Adam (spirit) in 1Corinthians 15. But we are also exhorted to compare spirit (of error) & spirit (of truth): 1John 4, as "comparing spiritual things with spiritual": 1Corinthians 2:13, NT law vs NT grace... BECAUSE "as in Adam all die", whether it's first "Adam" or last "Adam". So it's a three stage progression to life void of death:
First Adam(die)-->Last Adam(die)-->Christ(live).

God forbid? Such a biblical phrase speaks of no, not this, but that; In such a comparative teaching: shew (plural of show) about law vs grace: about what is grace compared to what it's not: law, about what is mercy compared to what it's not: sacrifice, about what is peace compared to what it's not: division.

There is a matter of save some, but it's only to scuttle all perish (by grace + law), till we get to the end where none perish (by grace void of law). So with Noahic grace it was save some, to keep seed alive; But with JC grace and truth it's save all (the world) so none should perish by pure grace.

So another sort of "grace" came by JC: John 1:17. For the grace Noah found in the eyes of the LORD(LAW) was grace + law, which is as blessed + cursed = accursed, or as life + death = dead end; And for all if there is no respect of persons with God, no partiality, neither with Law is inexcusable nor with Grace is merciful.

The law foretold of grace, but the law also makes grace "no more grace". The law demanded perfection: Genesis 17:1, but law cannot make comers perfect: Hebrews 10:1. Only pure grace makes comers perfect(merciful) as our Father in heaven is perfect(merciful): Mt 5:48 (Lk 6:36). "Perfected" is past tense in Heb 10:14; 1Jn 2:5; 1Jn 4:12. Made perfect, via "the God of all grace" (no law at all) in 1Peter 5:10 is followed by strengthened, stablished, and settled; And after we've suffered awhile by law.

JK, you still perceive both comfort & discomfort; But there's no discomfort in "the God of all comfort". You still perceive both grace & law; But there's no law in "the God of all grace".

Perhaps you haven't (yet) noticed there's two of everything to sort out in the Bible; Perhaps even two sorts of law: OT LAW & NT Law: Romans 8:2, and also two sorts of grace: Noahic grace & JC grace.

For when studying out the Noahic sort of grace, it ended bad for all, even for Noah; But when studying out the JC sort of grace, it ends good for you all:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
