Confessing Faults/ Wrong Judgment/ Believing in Vain

James 5:16 says - Confess your faults. So, the Gentiles confess their faults: a record of their confession is in the Authorized Version. Confession - 1) Isaiah 28:15 - we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. 2) 2Corinthians 4:5 - we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord. 3) 1Corinthians 15:14 - our preaching is vain. 4) 1Thessalonians 4:5 - our labor be in vain. 5) James 1:26 - this man's religion is vain. 6) 1Corinthians 15:17 - your faith is vain. 7) 1Corinthians 15:2 - ye have believed in vain. Therefore knowing these things, what should you do? Acts 14:15 gives an answer - ye should turn from these vanities to the living God: that is in agreement with depart from the faith, depart from evil, there come a falling away, hate the evil, and love the good, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, choose the good, and refuse the evil, forsake the foolish, and live, receiving the end of your faith, have faith in God, and go in the way of understanding. 

Exodus 9:27 - I and my people are wicked. 1Corinthians 15:19 - we are of all men most miserable, i.e., we are of all men most wretched, we are of all men most despicable, we are of all men most deserving to be despised.

Question to be answered (Romans 7:7) - Is the law sin?

This, stated in Habakkuk 1:4, is relevant - wrong judgment proceedeth. What is the wrong judgment?

Judgment against the faith concerning Christ Jesus (,Psalm 7:9, Deuteronomy 19:19, Deuteronomy 19:20) - let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; so shalt thou put away the evil that is among you; henceforth commit no more any such evil: that is a judgment against Christianity. But the Gentiles have not carried out that judgment. FINDING: (Acts 5:42) the Gentiles have not ceased to teach and preach Jesus Christ. CONCLUSION: 1Corinthians 15:17 - the Gentiles are yet in their sins. .
