Jesus is all that matters, no one is to righteous enough without Him. Very true that there are going to be those who claim His name and die in there sins, He will say depart from me I never knew you. Again making Jesus all that matters for without His blood we are in our sins.
Does it mean putting Jesus' and thereby God's teachings into practice?

What list of rules have I presented?
the NT no different than the OT where God does not enter into our lives. Yes, we need
to obey Christ, but living by a set of teachings from a book is no different than living by
a set of rules written in stone. The partition between the Holy of Holies, and the Holy
place has been ripped from top to bottom, we can have God in our lives now.
The love God sheds on all of us, is undeserved by all of us, yet Jesus shed His blood for
us so we could be saved, redeemed by the blood of the lamb. We are called to be Holy
I so agree with you there totally and completely, but let God be God and deal with each of
us as He sees fit. If you think you are showing the love of Christ to others and you think
God is directing you to condemn anyone I'm concern for you. Even those God says make
them leave isn't to condemn them, it is to show them the errors of their ways in the hopes
they turn back to God away from sin.
Even the verse that talks about those that turn away from Christ talks about them being
overcome by sin, there is hope as long as that hasn't happen. If it does happen, I pity the
poor soul, they have nothing but the wrath of God to look forward to and it will be shed
upon them in full.

You have scripture that you think needs to be walked out in this life do you not?
That is your list.

Originally posted by EladarI believe Christ became sin for us to condemn sin in us, so He can enter into those that call on Him. We receive His Spirit and start our life with Him.

All of us are sinners. you, me there isn't a single one who is righteous on our own. Belonging to God does indeed mean we are to turn from our wicked ways, with some that takes longer than others. We are to encourage each other, love each other as He loves us, and forgive as He forgives us.
Biting and devouring one another shows us, we are not behaving as we should.

If you can't make that distinction you are as much a heretic as Suzi. The spirit within you must think that an unrepentant sinful lifestyle is acceptable to God. This is not the Gospel found in the Bible. It is the gospel found in secular culture.
