I would suggest looking at what are called “spiritual disciplines”. They include prayer, Bible intake (both reading and hearing), fasting, mediating in scripture. There are others, I’m sure. I sense your motivation may be slightly off. Instead of trying to gain more “godliness”, may I suggest...

California. A Tesla Semi crashed, caught fire, battery exploded, spewed toxic fumes with a raging fire above 1000 degrees. See I told you so. If someone knows how to link to the story, I would appreciate it. Just say NO! To EV!!! peace to you

Please provide the links for the scholars that show my error on this passage. peace to you

We disagree. I believe I fully understand Paul’s comments in 1 Corinthians 12:3 and the context in which they were written, as I have repeatedly explained. You have presented nothing that would change my mind from the plain reading of the text… No man says Jesus is Lord, but by the Spirit...

Welcome to the BB. I look forward to reading more of your comments. peace to you

I only need to study scripture. It is easy to understand if you leave secular philosophy behind and trust God’s Word. 1 Corinthians 12:3 “no man can say Jesus is Lord, but by the Spirit”. Very easy to understand without preconceived, secular bias. peace to you

That is simply nonsense. Reformed theology is based on scripture alone. Every doctrine is carefully supported by scripture. You are correct in one point, however. I haven’t studied the history of “Calvinism” in great depth. Everything I believe come straight from scripture. And, again, I...

Is that all you got, @Van? Unfounded accusations and pitiful arguments? The truth, in context, has been laid out in this thread several times. You are either unable, or unwilling, to actually read and respond to what has been said Go away. You are a waste of cyber space. Others are...

I will leave you to yourself peace to you

Context always determines meaning. The context of 1Corinthians 12:3 i“no man says Jesus is Lord but by the Spirit” is one of ability. No man is able without the Spirit. For the record, you constantly change every topic into an attack in the doctrines of grace. I could say “Jesus wept” and you...

Whaaaat are you talking about? I only referenced the three previous threads. Peace to you

You are in error because you don’t understand church history, nor do you understand scripture. At the time of the reformers, the “traditional view” was Roman Catholic doctrine, which differed significantly from scripture and the first century church. By focusing solely on scripture, the...

Not being able to understand scripture or the context in which it was written does not make it “to no effect”. Altering scripture does not make it better or more accurate. Humbly accepting the inability to understand and devoting oneself to diligent study, is a much better approach than...

Yes!! The reformed view was held by Jesus, Paul and the early church. Jesus taught it. The Apostles repeated it. The early church accepted it Peace to you

Every post proves your ignorance of biblical Greek. peace to you

EXACTLY!!! Quit being decietful peace to you

One poster believes if he doesn’t like what Christian scholars have agreed upon for thousands of years, he can just rewrite the passage to fit his view. By doing so, he presents one false doctrine after another until he has rewritten scripture and invented his own religion. And so it goes...

That is not the view of Lordship Salvation The LS view, as I understand it is that believers SHOULD have a transformed life that is capable, by indwelling God Holy Spirit, to obey the commandments of God and avoid sin. Still, all sin and fall short. Those that refuse to repent and continue...
