2 Timothy 2:15-18 (NASB) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are...

Is Christ interceding to obtain forgiveness of sins or to obtain rewards of effective ministry? That is the question? I say rewards. Others seem not to say. :)

Folks, our progressive sanctification refers to growing from a new born believer to a mature Christian.

It seems some do not accept the premise of progressive sanctification. Is this a sneaky defense of "Easy Believism?"

Living by faith is doing our best to live by faith. Duh

Notice these rejections of Matthew 13 and the need for progressive sanctification. We are to confess our sins and strive to do better, not using grace to justify continued sin.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 NASB And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For...

I did not change the meaning or any inspired word or phrase in the text. That charge is blatantly false and vile. You add, "ever" to the phrase "no one ever seeks God, not even one." Next you charge me with creating conflict with unspecified other verses. You charge me with what your dark...

Note this post proves the poster cannot address the issue, and so attacks my qualifications. 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...

1) Please stop suggesting I am endorsing the heresy of the month. 2) If a person receives the gospel partially, such as Soils # 2 and 3 of Matthew 13, they may in the future rededicate their lives to Christ, fully committing by forming a deep root of commitment in themselves or tossing out...

Never in dispute. What you ignore was Paul's decision to embrace the gospel of Christ. Take note of Acts of the Apostles 22:16 where Paul "called on His name!"

Romans 6:6 fully supports the biblical view which I presented. When was our "old man" crucified with Him? When we were baptized into Him we were baptized into His death!

The Greek word translated intercedes or intercession refers to a person speaking for or against an individual or group. In Acts 25:24 and Romans 11:2, the word is used for speaking against people, and in Romans 8:27, Romans 8:34, and Hebrews 7:25 the word is used for speaking for the benefit of...

1) The idea that the lost are condemned by God is not in dispute. 2) No other individual was nailed to the Cross when Christ was nailed to the cross. He paid the ransom for all humanity. 3) The fact that Christ is now seated at the right hand of the Father is not in dispute. 4) Since...

It is mandatory that God credit the faith of those seeking God in order to obtain salvation. Thus we, those born anew believers, are to beg the lost, be reconciled to God. And to become reconciled, to receive the reconciliation, requires that our faith is credited by God as righteousness. We do...

LOL, you have no idea what the word means. You just post "taint so" over and over offering no knowledge based on specific scripture.

The issue is whether that rejected resulted in Paul being unable to subsequently fully embrace the gospel. And the answer is no, people are able to come to their senses or rededicate their lives.

Once again, this post falsely claims he is a mind reader, knowing what I have decided, such as I do not like Romans 3:11 as written. I like it just fine, so the false claim just demonstrates a pattern of deceit. I did not change one word, there is none that seek God. This poster claim it...

Hebrews 13:9 Interpretive Translation Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace, not by bogus doctrines, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. It is better to be transferred into Christ, then for the Lord to...

Being established in Christ is the same as being transferred into Christ and undergoing the washing of regeneration.
