Titus 3:5 NASB "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit," Just what are the intended meanings conveyed by "the washing of regeneration" and by "renewing by the Holy...

Recently, charges have been brought against the Southern Poverty Law Center for apparently funding Racist organizations to provide the basis for their race baiting. Apparently they went to the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax school of deceit. What the SPLC refers to as "sources" appears to...

Reading between the lines, since the translation you cited above renders the three phrases in the exact same way, you think ambiguity should prevail. Perhaps. But other translations disagree. From post #1, you see that I believe the intended meaning of the phrase in Romans 8:35 is Christ's...

Once we are "in Christ," having been transferred into His spiritual body, and having undergone the washing of regeneration and born anew, then we are indwelt forever, and therefore nothing and nobody can undo those works of God Almighty. Once "in Christ" no one can override God's love for His...

1) As initially conceived, as made sinners, no one is righteous. Further, if we live long enough to sin, we all have fallen short of the glory of God. 2) Romans1:17 says that in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed The phrase "from faith to faith" seems a poor translation to me...

The word transliterated as Pistis, and translated as faith in Hebrews 11:1 comes from the root word G3982. Strong's Lexicon G4102. (from the root meaning "to bind;") What grows in the garden of faith? Love, devotion, trust, expectation, commitment! Does our faith bind us to Christ, as to...

Please address how un-elected regulators now dictate to us citizens with requirements that actually harm the environment. I pay about one dollar to a buck and a half more for a gallon of gas in California that many other states. But has this great expense brought the air pollution illnesses...

Whether or not I trust this or that is not the issue. Please address how un-elected regulators now dictate to us citizens with requirements that actually harm the environment. I pay about one dollar to a buck and a half more for a gallon of gas in California that many other states. But has...

The environmental movement evolved into a left wing propaganda hoax calculated to fool the gullible. The war on fossil fuel harmed America and brought power to foreign nations. The folks in LA are having a hard time rebuilding due in part to needless environmental regulation. It is time to...

Earth Day appears to be just another propaganda hoax pushing the climate crisis. How many times will the gullible youth be led astray by the endless hoaxes of the godless lift?

"Preterism holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the first century"

Romans 1:17, "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” Here we see Paul, referring to Habakkuk 2:4. An interesting tidbit is the "by" faith. The Greek word, transliterated "ek" means out of or from and...

These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin. John 16:1 Let’s not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word...

Pistis is the transliteration of the Greek term translated in the KJV as "faith" Pistis is formed from two roots, "Piq" meaning bind, and "tis" having the same function as "er" in English. So fundamentally, the Greek term means "binder" or that which binds. Now lets look at how the Bible...

Romans 8:39 NASB nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Here we see again the ambiguous turn of phrase, but it is needless because the meaning is found in Romans 8:37, the love is God's love for us...
