Question: What crime? Is it a sin that does not lead to death?
Answer: Detailed explanation below
【1】Sins outside the covenant law between God and man
Just like in ancient times when there was no marriage law, it was not a sin for a brother to take his sister. For example, Abraham married his sister Sarai. Genesis Chapter 20:12 Moreover, she is indeed my sister; she is my half-brother and later became my wife. There are also records in Genesis 38 about Judah and Tamar, that is, the sin of fornication and incest between the father-in-law and Tamar.
In John 2, there is also a Gentile prostitute named Rahab, who also committed the sin of telling lies, but Gentiles did not have the Law of Moses, so it was not considered a sin. These are sins outside of the legal covenant, so they are not considered sins. Because the law provokes wrath (or translation: causes people to suffer punishment); "where there is no law," there is no transgression. --Refer to Romans 4:15. So, do you understand clearly?
[2] Sins committed by the flesh
Let’s study Romans 8:9 in the Bible and read it together: If the Spirit of God dwells in you, you are no longer of the flesh but of the Spirit. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Note: If the Spirit of God, that is, the Holy Spirit "dwells" in your hearts, you are not of the flesh → that is to say, you "hear" and understand the true way and believe the gospel of Christ → are baptized by the Holy Spirit → that is, the "new man" who is reborn and saved is not Belongs to the "old man" body. Here are two persons → one is born of the Spirit of God; the other is born of Adam-parents. The visible transgressions of the "old man" in the flesh will not be imputed to the "new man" who is hidden with Christ in God. As the Lord says: "Do not hold the trespasses of their "old man" against their "new man"! Amen - refer to 2 Corinthians 5:19. Do you understand this clearly?
The apostle "Paul" rebuked the Corinthian church: "It is heard that fornication is taking place among you. Such fornication does not exist even among the Gentiles, even if someone takes his stepmother... who has committed the evil act of fornication and adultery will be punished Cast such a person out from among you and give him to Satan to "corrupt his flesh" so that his soul may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus - for such a person is. If you live according to the "old man" and want to destroy the temple of God, the Lord will punish him and destroy his body so that his soul may be saved. Colossians 3:5 Therefore, put to death your members who are on earth. Fornication, impurity, evil passions, evil desires, and greed (greed is the same as idolatry). Therefore, the process of putting off the "old man" body of the "new man" → is a process of suffering with Christ. The death of Jesus is initiated in us. Let the life of Jesus be revealed in us → It is God who gives you glory, reward, and crown! It is also the spiritual path that Christians must take. Amen! Do you understand clearly?
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; all things have become new. …This is how God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting this message of reconciliation to us. --Refer to 2 Corinthians 5:17,19.
Romans 7:14-24 Just as the apostle "Paul" was born again and the flesh was at war with the spirit, so I know that there is no good thing in me, that is, in my flesh. Because it’s up to me to decide to do good, but it’s not up to me to do it. Therefore, the good that I want, I do not do; the evil that I do not want, I do. If I do something I don’t want to do, it is not me who does it, but sin that lives in me. The old human flesh was crucified and died with Christ. It is no longer me who lives, but Christ lives for me. As the apostle "Paul" said! I consider myself dead to "sin" and I am dead to the law because of the "law" - refer to Romans 6:6-11 and Gal. 2:19-20. It explains that the "new man" after being reborn and saved does not belong to the sins of the "old man"'s flesh. The Lord says! Remember no more, and do not impute the sins of the old man's flesh to the "new man." Amen! Then he said, "I will remember their sins and their transgressions no more." Now that these sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer sacrifices for "sin" anymore. So, do you understand clearly? --Refer to Hebrews 10:17-18
(Warning: King David also committed adultery and murder in the flesh, and the disaster of the sword came to his family in the flesh. He said in the Psalm that those who are counted righteous by God "outside of works" are blessed. Because of God's "righteousness" Revealed "outside the law" - refer to Romans 3:21. Likewise, "King Saul and the traitor Judas" also regretted their actions and confessed their sins because they "unbelieved" and did not establish regulations on [faith]. , God did not forgive their sins. Do you understand clearly? (See 2 Timothy 1:4.)
【3】Sin committed without law
1 Whoever sins without the law will perish without the law; and whoever sins under the law will be judged according to the law. --Romans 2:12.
2 Where there is no law, there is no transgression → for the law provokes wrath (or translation: to punish); and where there is no law, there is no transgression. --Romans 4:15
3 Without the law, sin is dead → However, sin took the opportunity to work all kinds of covetousness in me through the commandment; for without the law, sin is dead. --Romans 7:8
4 Without the law, sin is not considered sin → Before there was the law, sin was already in the world; but without the law, sin is not considered sin. --Romans 5:13
(Romans 10:9-10 Gentiles do not have the law. They can be justified and have eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ alone. But the Jews have the Law of Moses. They must first repent of their sins and be baptized in water. They must believe in Jesus and be baptized by the Holy Spirit to be saved and have life. ! )
So, do you understand clearly?
OK! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
