The verse does not indicate the spiritual body refers to Christ's bodily resurrection. The bodily resurrection to life is in view. First we must live physically, i.e. be born of water, and be born anew spiritually by being transferred into Christ's spiritual body, as a member obedient to the...

Sorry, but I am not changing the inspired meanings intended by the words, but I am offering a different view from yours. 2 Thessalonian 2:13 clearly and unambiguously says individuals are chosen through (by using) sanctification (setting apart) and our faith (obviously credited as...

Of course the author was addressing those actually born anew, then he introduced the contrast in verse 25. Duh

Thanks Deacon, I had not known their was widespread support for adding the "he" to the text. I do not think the verse is all that difficult with regard to its intended meaning. Is it in dispute that Sarah was beyond the age of procreation, being about 90 years old? I think not. Does...

Both verses "pulled out" were within the context of Hebrews 10:26. Thus the point I made was contextual, whereas your claim ignored that very context. The denial that the author of Hebrews does not contrast the behavior of professing believers with born anew believers is utter nonsense.

1) I am not changing my understanding of what the exact inspired words meanings of the passage as intended by God. Your false claim against me is simply an effort to change the subject to me. 2) Indicating my understanding of which "beginning" is in view does not change the word of the...

Hebrews 10:25-26 not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins...

Every once in a while you come across an amazing problem with translation. This once boggles the mind. Hebrews 11:11 (NASB95) By faith even Sarah herself received [fn]ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. And the NASB...

If a person continues to reject the gospel, there is no longer a means of reconciliation available to that person. Hebrews 10:26.

If we keep on rejecting the gospel, there is no longer a means of reconciliation for us. Hebrews 10:26. Try addressing points 1 and 2 of the post, Sir, and stop with your fruitless insults.

Hebrews 10:29 NASB How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 1) Does having been sanctified in this context...

Once a person is sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit, that union is forever according to scripture. Yes we can "quench" the Spirit, close down its influence on us, but we will never "force it out."

In Hebrews 6:9 we see the address shifts again from brethren to "beloved" which is used of those in God's family, those born anew as children of God.

The unforgivable sin is the rejection of the gospel!

Hebrews 6:4 NASB For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 1) Those who have once been "enlightened." Does this refer to receiving the gospel with understanding, or having...

Hebrews 3:12 NASB Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 1) Note, the author does not refer to these "brethren" as holy. They could not be holy, if they have an evil heart (unregenerate) of unbelief. 2) To "take heed"...

Hebrews 3:1 NASB Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; 1) The verse address the author's siblings in Christ, and not blood relatives or Jews. The reason, they have been made holy. 2) Partakers of...

Sorry, but your rote objection is laughable nonsense. When a person is chosen for salvation, that is their individual election for salvation. From the beginning of the inauguration of the New Covenant, simply describes when these individual elections started. The phrase has nothing to do...

A corollary to Timothy needing to filter what he hears Paul taught, through the witness of multiple people, is that our local churches should be led by a plurality of Elders (leaders) rather than just one "kingpin" who dictates doctrine. If others have not independently come to the same...

The act of God setting a person spiritually apart, within Christ, is referred to using many different Greek words. One is the noun "hagiasmos" referring to being set apart for a holy purpose. When we are transferred into Christ, we are made holy by the washing of regeneration. 2...
