"Yet" is not in the better NT manuscripts; that's why you don't find it in most modern English translations. It was added early on precisely because of discomfort with the suggestion that Jesus would say one thing and do another. Read Metzger's Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament note...

Context doesn't change the fact that Jesus said one thing and did another. To get at the point of the original question, let's set aside the possibility of a lie. What makes you think Jesus could not change His mind? God commands all men everywhere to change their minds (Acts 17:30), so that...

"I am not going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” --Jesus (v8) "But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly but in private." (v10)

Jesus purchased the church with His blood (Acts 20:28). The Spirit is given as a pledge until that purchased possession is fully redeemed (Ephesians 1:14). All humankind is not sealed with the Spirit.

If only that were true. You quote me not, because I never said what you claim. You have your reward. Shalom.

I did not "claim this passage does not say God credits our faith." Your characterization of my words is false and you ought to be ashamed. I said God does not credit faith for righteousness AT SALVATION. Romans 4:23-25 is NOT talking about salvation, but you are misusing and misapplying it to...

"God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19). Yet Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, and He certainly was a man as well as being God. Let's agree...

The Bible does not say Abraham's approval resulted in his "salvation being made perfect after Christ died," which of course explains why you offer no passages to support this erroneous notion. And I have repeatedly shown that you are misconstruing and misapplying this passage in violation of...

Another attempted diversion from your misuse of passages talking about Abraham to support your spurious notions about credit for faith at salvation. If your claims were true you could (a) cite Scripture that says God credits faith at the point of salvation as righteousness, and (b) quote a post...

I don't appreciate being called a false teacher, or the other unkind adjectives you are so quick to apply to those who differ with you. You might review Matthew 7:1-3 for your next devotional time, my friend. Replying to my post you said, "Pay no attention to naysayers, who deny their own...

What I am asking myself is why every claim of yours that I quotedc makes direct reference to faith at the point of salvation, but you refuse to take responsibility for your words and are desperate to avoid addressing their substance. You describe saving faith in every one of those posts and link...

You appear to be content with that understanding so I'll leave you with it. Best wishes.

Jesus is fully God, and He also has a body. Does the Father or the Spirit have a body? Jesus is everything they are, plus humanity. Right?

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19). Yet Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, and He certainly was a man as well as God. Let's agree that...

He is more than fully God, correct?

He was the Word (John 1:1). He was begotten when He became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). The offering of His begotten flesh is an essential part of our salvation (Hebrews 10:5, 10, 20). May I suggest reflecting on those verses carefully and prayerfully.

Yes, most certainly. Hebrews 1:5, Acts 13:33, John 3:16.

False and unbiblical? Sorry, no; this might be the time to give your position a careful review. The Man Christ Jesus is declared in the Bible to be worthy of worship; Revelation 5:12 specifically cites Jesus' humanity ("the Lamb that was slain"), not His deity. This is not "trading" an image, it...

The point is wrong. The image of God has been expressed in corruptible man by God Himself - that's what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 11:7 and James 3:9, so it is hardly "myopic drivel" as you claim. Reducing Jesus' genuine victory over temptation to a mere sham diminishes His incarnate glory...
