Sorry Sir, but you are just posting nonsense. Just because someone believes superficially, or does not believe He is their Lord, does not automatically save the person. Pushing automatic salvation that can be lost is a long way from the biblical gospel.

Cursed are the prideful, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Cursed are those who have no regret, who see the harm they themselves caused, but respond with "oh well." Cursed are those who reject God, who dispute His law, and see themselves as their own law. Cursed are...

Yes, when we carry our "cross" each day, we are striving to put to death "self" so that only Christ rules our life.

Not a problem as Soils #2 & 3 were never saved. Soil 2 lacked commitment and fell way, and Soil 3 produced no fruit, thus was not indwelt. God said Soil #2 was temporary, thus not given "eternal" life. Soil #3 produced no fruit, thus unsaved. John 15:5

An old chestnut says mercy is not getting what you deserve and grace is getting what you do not deserve. When God withheld His wrath and did not punish the Old Testament saints for their sins, it was an act of mercy. When God justifies New Testament saints, it is an act of both mercy and...

You need to address what I said, rather than copy and paste non-germane verses. Jesus died, shed His blood, to provide the means of our justification, our reconciliation. He was raised to provide evidence upon which we can put our complete faith in His name. Adam sinned, and the result is...

I understand NT scripture to clearly teach, once saved, always saved. There are, in my opinion, two cases for those trying to support loss of salvation. 1) A saved person, starts advocating false doctrine. They are then are said to have fallen away from "the faith" referring to proper...

Sorry for the delayed response to the OP. This post does not address any of the following pages of replies. 1) What is the difference between "forgiveness" by God, and "justification" by God? First we need to focus upon a particular kind of "forgiveness;" that provided by the application of...

"THE NEW TESTAMENT USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT Robert L. Thomas Professor of New Testament When interpreting the OT and NT, each in light of the single, grammatical- historical meaning of a passage, two kinds of NT uses o f the OT surface, one in which the NT writer observes the...

Christians should not make up things and then attribute them to others. If you do not know what I mean by repurposing, just ask.

Yet another empty "taint so" post. The work product of an empty sack. The issue, folks, is the claim that that the dead scrolls showed that our copies, dating about 1000 years later were were far less accurate than the 1st century copies. They proved the opposite. And note the absurdity...

More back-=pedaling. More falsehood. Now you seem to know what I do not know. Good Grief The issue folks is the claim that that the dead scrolls showed that our copies, dating about 1000 years later were were far less accurate than the 1st century copies. They proved the opposite.

It is a matter of life or death that we understand the requirements of the gospel to obtain mercy. We do not want to be of those whom Christ will say, I never knew you." We do not want to be of those whom Christ will say "you did not give me what I needed." Unbelief is unpardonable, and...

Yet another dodge. If you are unwilling to acknowledge error, you should evaluate. Your witness might not be effectual if controlled by pride. Returning to topic. Sometimes the NT writers seem to quote or paraphrase the Septuagint, and at other times a Hebrew version. I believe the...

Why must our human spirit, if we have been born anew as a child of God have been made perfect? When we were "born anew" we were undergoing the washing of regeneration (being made alive from a spiritually dead state). God is Holy and those who "sin" are unholy. If our human spirit was "unholy"...

Yet another dogmatic repost, rather than addressing: The utter fiction you are proclaiming is if our human spirit has been made perfect, then we could not think and do sinful things. To be "a sin" requires the act (what we, humans, do) and the consequence (God's wrath). Thus our "sinful acts"...

Yet another well studied taint so post. :)

Since countries are sovereign, they should not be dependent upon other countries for essentials, such as energy production, food production, health care, and national defense. The USA does NOT depend upon Canada for any essential.

Once again, you said the copies available in the first century were "far more accurate" when the Dead Sea Scrolls prove our copies existing today are very close to the copies available in the 1st century.

The utter fiction you are proclaiming is if our human spirit has been made perfect, then we could not think and do sinful things. To be "a sin" requires the act (what we, humans, do) and the consequence (God's wrath). Thus our "sinful acts" are NOT sin by definition.
