>>"Blessed [are those] whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; Blessed [is the] man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."” (Romans 4:1-8 NKJV)>>

When you read the rest of that chapter and '' understand'' it, get back to me.

>>They didn’t what?>>

You really don't read anythingh I post, do you?
""" to finish the  transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in  everlasting righteousness, """

Again, they didn't.

I am sorry you don't believe your own Bible.
1 John 3:4  "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
Romans 6:23  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Now. You can take those as written or try to twist them to your liking. You can't change them, though. Or maybe you are forgetting that the fourth commandment is just as revelant as the other nine.

In Daniel 9:24 the sin thigns are done by Christ, not some 'they' all within the 7th 7, that is, during the time between His conception and the destruction fo Jerusalem. This passage is a prime example of exact FUFILLED prophecy. All happend just as Daniel wrote down well before it happened.

1. to finish the transgession, that is, to conclude the era of Jewish rejection of Christ, Matthew 23:35-36.

2, To make an end of sin and its effect by means of being sacrificed, cut off, in the middle of the tiem [about 3- or 33=. The cross makes an end of sin definign us, the law of sin and death is done away wuith in the cross, Romans 8:1-4.

3, to bring in everlasting righteousness, His own shall never perish, thy HAVE eternal life. John 6:35, 1 John 5:9-11.

4. to make reconciliation for iniquity, we are reconciled by His blood, 2 Cor. 5:17-21.

5. to complete vision and prophecy by the completion of the all sufficient scripture, 2 Tim 3:16-17.

6. and so to reign in heaven as the true anointed king and Lord, no longer in the copies on earth, but in the true heavenly sanctuary in glory, Heb. 9:6-15.

These six thigns are nto said about what Jews did, or about Jews, but about what JESUS CHRIST did in the first advent work.

1. Jesus made an end of the sin or transgrssion of the Jewish church, by removing it from that role in history, both ended as in completed its historical role and ending the idea of a Jewish church existing as the people of God.  Thus He took away their kingdom and gave it to the whole body which is producing its proper fruits.

2. He ended sin's RULE over people by His death ont he cross, thereby aboloshing the law of sina nd death, the curse on us for breaking the law, by obeying it in our place and also dying for our sins. He did not end man's sinning, but ended SIN as what defined His people in the judgment of God.

3. He brought in everlasting life and righteousness, jsut as the bible says, gives eternal life to all His people.

4. He makes reconciliation or reconciles us to God by removing what stood between beleivers and God, the curse of sin,. He does so [in the middle of the time or the last 7, as verse 27 [remember the whole is about what JESuS CHRIST accomplishes, the judgment that makes things empty is HIS work through the armies of Rome. This reconciliation is accomplished by His death and resurrection for His people, we are thus one in Him and with Him, as in Colossians 3:1-4.

5. vision and prophecy cease with the end of the 70th 7, as far as any new revelation from God is concerned, the scripture is all sufficient and all we get. [remeber I have argued that all the N.T. was complete before that date].

6. He sits in heaven, HE JESUS CHRIST, the true Lord, not jews, not men, but He who in His own work is the anointed prophet, priest and King on high, Christ the Lord. Thus in all His work He completes the offices signified by anointing, He fufills them, completes them, shows their true purpose is accomplished.

Again, the passage is NOT about what Jews did or do, they are passiave here, it is Christ who is the acting agent whose work is set forth, set forth as it relates to them it is true, but it is HIS WORK that Daniel is told will be done and tells us will be done.

First, your comment makes it very clear you either never read what I wrote or simply are incapable of understanding it. I specificly said JESUS CHRIST has put an end ot the law of sin and death, not the presence but the power to define of sin in the saved person. The noun here is the CURSE that is taken away, it is the cuse OF sin, a modifier of the curse. Thus Christ on the cross ends sin's power to defien men WHO ARE SAVED. Nothing in that statement even suggests any uuniversal salvation.

Romans 6:1-2 was one fo the verses that I used to write what I wrote. How could we who are dead to sin, we whom sin no longer defiens, live in that sin? Christ ended sin in this regard, he made beleivers dead to it. no longer does sin relate to us as what defines us int he justice of Gdo. The question only makes sense if people had perhaps gootten the same false impression you seem to be getting, that free grace will allow for sinning. No, The free gift of salvation is salvation FROM sin and its defining power. In this sense Christ made us 'dead to sin' just as we had been dead in sins before beign saved. See Romans 8:1-4 where he sums up this.

Romns 3:31 agian only makes sense as a question if people would be thinking that Paul meant to void the law. If they did not think this possibly what he meant the question has no meaning. In fact, grace does nto make the law void, but establishes its meanign truly on gospel principles, not any sort of conditionalism or merit mongering trust in having done the law, but shows us the law is a map of the divien character we are called to image in life. Men tend to falsely beleive the law is a way to get saved or stay saved, so they disestablish it from its God ordained role. To establish the law is to shatter this delusion and set it forth as God designed, not as conditions for relating to God, but as a model of how people already fully related to Him will desire to image Him via their lives..

Romans 6:15 continues the point made in 6:1-2 in a somewhat different fashion. [the first basicly relationally set forth, the second basicly in terms of obedience or ethic]. But the whole point is the same.  

First, why do you keepo accusing me of holding a view I have over and over rejected? I have said over and over we are to keep ALL the divien law word, every word, not just some of the laws, but all. You reduce law to rules, I don't, I see it as mroe than jsut rules, as rather form or pattern of the divine character sjetched out in varied historical contexts.

Sin is transgression of law, AND disloyalty, breach of relation and love, definance or rebellion, hate of God as God, a lot of thigns. One thing sin is is transfgressing law, but that is not all it is. [claiming sin is only trnasgression fo law is in effect going to be legalism in the end no matter what elese is said of it]. A puppy is a mammal, but that is nto all it is, it is a pet, a gift, a child's favorite companion, and a host of other thigns as well. Because somethign is siad to be one thign, which is true of it, it does not exclude it being many otehrs as well. Restricting sin to 'breach of rules' is going to mean sin is less thn wha tit is in fact in the eyes of one who does this to it.

The law of sin and death, 'obey and live, disobey and die' is finished for us in the death of Christ, who died in our place, see Romans 8:1-4. This law or principle is nto destroyed here, but accomplished for beleivers in Christ who died as the oen who fufilled this consequence of the law for us, He made atonment for sin by His propititation fo God [turned aside His wrath against us] so that His life can be assigned to us to define us before God, 2 Cor. 5:21, Gal. 3:10-14, Romans 3:16. Colossians 3:1-4. We died to sin in His death so we are made alive to God in His life power, Romans 6:1-14. FOR US who are in Christ we need not worry here, for Christ has both obeyed and died in our place. The EFFECT of this in and on us will be a new heart that longs to be holy, not just to keep rules, but to be conformed to His image. Obedience becoems somethign very different than rule follwoing, it becoems personal fidelity. It sees rule following as sort if infant crawling, maybe necessary for when one needs to get around with poor feet [ aless than fiathful heart[ and always mapping the places we shoudl go in the room. But it also tells us to walk and not crawl, to live a full life of fidelity acting in concord with our new creation, in fact, even to as it were fly from worldly models of life to a better holiness, Isaiah 40:31.

"Work and walk the law demands / but gives us neither feet nor hands,

"The gospel speaks of better thigns / it bids us fly and gives us wings"
