It seems your question misrepresents the clearly stated biblical doctrine presented in post #2.

The simple gospel is true according to Matthew 7:21-23. Advocacy of Easy Believism is to call God a liar per 1 John 5:9-13 Titus 1:2 indicates Easy Believism was not promised before the world began.

You can believe in your version of "Easy Believism." 1) Whoever believes into Him shall not perish, requires that God credits the person's faith as righteousness, and on that basis transfers the person spiritually into Christ's Spiritual body. 2) If a person is unwilling to take up his...

Do we need to add ever or when sinning to grasp the correct scope of the verse? Yes. Do some what to add and claim they are not adding? Yes. Have any of the numerous verses, like many shall seek to find the narrow path to eternal life been ignored to make scripture to no effect? Yes...

What if "foreknew" means God formulated a predetermined plan for people to be chosen based on crediting their faith as righteousness during their physical lifetime? If people were individually chosen for salvation before creation, that would mean they never were not "a people" chosen for His own...

Yet another taint so post, containing nothing true. Note the absence of a rebut al of the actual scriptural truth! 1) I said born anew believers were baptized into Christ Jesus. Was this challenged? Nope 2) I said born anew believers were baptized in (totally within) the Holy Spirit. Was...

Was it the acquired knowledge of good and evil, that produced our sin nature, or sinful nature? I do not think so. Did Adam become like God at least in the aspect of having the knowledge? Yes. Did he need to acquire that knowledge in order to sin, or behave in a sinful manner? Nope, he ate...

The unforgivable sin is the rejection of the gospel! All people start out in unbelief, thus initially condemned. Then, God willing, they are exposed to the gospel message. If they do not have a hardened heart, they have the opportunity to trust in Christ and fully commit to follow Him as...

Yet another taint so post, citing a non-germane verse. The New Birth which occurs within Christ's Spiritual Body is the result of God crediting our faith as righteousness. 1 Peter 1:3 does not suggest our being born anew to a living hope is our "repentance." When the lost stops trusting in...

The endless "taint so" posts continue unabated. Everyone should accept that we were transferred into Christ Jesus. See Romans 6:3. Then everyone should accept Mark 1:8 which says we were baptized "in" (thus totally within) the Holy Spirit. The only possibility to conclude we were baptized...

Good Grief, your "plain meaning" becomes "my addition." You add "ever" but that is not an addition, its the plain meaning. I add "when sinning" and that is an addition, rather than the plain contexual meaning.

What if "foreknew" means God formulated a predetermined plan for people to be chosen based on crediting their faith as righteousness during their physical lifetime? If people were individually chosen for salvation before creation, that would mean they never were not "a people" chosen for His own...

If I asked the question, what is the most predominate means of adding to scripture, I expect I would be greeted with crickets. If I asked the question, what is the most predominate means of deleting scripture, again I expect I would be greeted with crickets. So let's back up and ask what group...

Are the lost allowed to seek God? Yes. Does God set before the lost the choice to fully embrace the gospel or not? Yes Does scripture contain numerous verses indicating the lost seek God, successfully and unsuccessfully? Yes. Do many seek to find the narrow path that leads to life? Yes

Did not read the subsequent posts, but wanted to chime in with a hardy Amen. The original autographs of scripture were God' breathed. All 66 books of my bible reflect reliable and trustworthy copies of those inspired texts The copies we now have are useful for instruction, even as an obsolete...

God set before the lost the choice to fully embrace the gospel of Christ or not. His redemption plan to allow the lost to change their minds (repent) and believe because the kingdom of God is at hand.

1) Did God make Jesus to be sin for our benefit? Many say yes, some say no. 2) Is fallen humanity innately unable to seek God or trust in Christ?. Some say yes, some say no. 3) Did Christ die only for the previously chosen elect or did Christ die as a ransom for all? Some say for the...

God has treated Jesus as sin for our benefit. Otherwise Jesus would not have been a sinless sacrifice.
