INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history recorded in the Word of God and in any ancient records from many, which records support it, plus archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God, written and preserved for us in our own language, is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Romans Chapter 6

There is a thing in Scripture about repeating a concept or topic over and over. In Romans it is the Gospel of justification, repentance, sin and death, baptism, life, resurrection, the law, grace and faith-over and over. In Romans, Paul says the exact same thing many ways, in order to ensure that no one reading this epistle misunderstands it. This means that this is important to God, so therefore it should be important to us.

(Romans 6:1)
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
(Romans 6:2)
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
(Psalms 1:1)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(Romans 6:3)
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
(Romans 6:4)
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
(Romans 6:5)
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
PLANT, v.t. To put in the ground and cover, as seed for growth; as, to plant maiz.
  1. To set in the ground for growth, as a young tree or a vegetable with roots.
  2. To engender; to set the germ of any thing that may increase.
    It engenders choler, planteth anger.
  3. To set; to fix.
    His standard planted on Laurentum's towers.
  4. To settle; to fix the first inhabitants; to establish; as, to plant a colony.
  5. To furnish with plants; to lay out and prepare with plants; as, to plant a garden or an orchard.
  6. To set and direct or point; as, to plant cannon against a fort.
  7. To introduce and establish; as, to plant Christianity among the heathen.
    I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 1 Cor 3.
  8. To unite to Christ and fix in a state of fellowship with him. Psa 92.
(Romans 6:6)
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
(Galatians 2:20)
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

(Romans 6:7)
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
(Romans 6:8)
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
(Romans 6:9)
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
(Daniel 12:2)
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

(Revelation 20:13)
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

(Romans 6:10)
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
“The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice . . . only the manner of offering is different. And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the alter of the cross is contained and offered in an unbloody manner . . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, [DoubleDay, 1994], par. 1367, p. 381).

(1 Peter 3:18)
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

(Hebrews 10:10)
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

(Romans 6:11)
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:12)
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
CONCUPISCENCE, n. [L., to covet or lust after, to desire or covet.] Lust; unlawful or irregular desire of sexual pleasure. In a more general sense, the coveting of carnal things, or an irregular appetite for worldly good; inclination for unlawful enjoyments.
We know even secret concupiscence to be sin.
Sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence
. Rom 7.

(James 4:1-2)
