Romans 2:7 NASB to those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life; Just what is "perseverance in doing good?" As Charlie24 pointed out, this pre-salvation behavior cannot refers to "good works" as all our works of righteousness are as a...

Thanks, hopefully your linked article reflects the view presented in the OP. Basically, as I understood your link, the NPP rejects Once Saved, Always Saved, and says we are saved by Grace, but we maintain our salvation by obedience compelled or facilitated by the Spirit. In my view, the NPP is...

Here is the opening post from 2011...

Putting man-made doctrine over scripture openly is bewildering but honest. OTOH, you CANNOT be a Biblicist and a Calvinist. Most people define Biblicist as someone who holds to "Solo Scripture" or Scripture Alone, rather than Calvinism Alone. Many seek the Narrow Door, so the claim no one...

I have no idea what the New Perspectives on Paul are as presented in the link as you have to sign in to read it. If anyone has actually read the link, please list the New Perspectives. Earlier articles by others suggested that the New Perspectives rejected "Grace Alone Accessed by Faith Alone."

Redeemer, redeemed, redemption are commonly found words in our Bible. But what do these words mean? Does the concept of being redeemed refer to our spiritual redemption, when God puts us spiritually "in Christ" or to our physical redemption when we are bodily resurrected in our glorified...

Yes, those assigned to the rear guard were still somewhat in harm's way. If the front lines give way, those in the back must also run for their lives. But I was in the way, way back. :)

One of the difficulties listed in the link was whether to translate or transliterate. I posted a thread many years ago with my two cents, names should be transliterated, but titles should be translated. Thus Jesus Christ would be rendered "Yeshua the Anointed One." A transliteration renders...

It is a communist plot with a Capital C.

Yes, although I served during war (1965-67) I was NOT assigned to combat, and served in West Germany, transferring others toward combat assignments. Nothing to write home about.

Yes, as a missionary I knew told me, after spending his life bringing scripture to people in Africa who could not understand existing translations, "it is important that you use a version that you can understand." Many people have been saved through the use of understandable translations or...

I have not read this thread, just the opening post. Here is the section I wish to discuss. Peter is using water baptism as a type of Noah's Ark. He tells us that the physical water does absolutely nothing to our bodies but it does have a significant connection to the resurrection. Since Noah's...

So do I! And I agree that "fixing" a verse to match as viewpoint is unsound. I think all translations sometimes fail in this regard, but the more Dynamic ones seem to me to fail more often.

I take advantage of the "special treatment" offers. I park in the veterans parking spot at Loews. I eat the free breakfast at Denny's. But I dislike standing in Church when they honor veterans, because the honor has been earned by combat veterans. I had the honor of being related to several...

Sorry you believe you were being personally disparaged. Welcome to my world. Many of us see through a glass darkly, we are right or close to right on some biblical doctrines, but may miss the mark on others. Perhaps you could post two or three objectionable tenets of Project 2025, quoting the...

Here is the NET footnote on "formed." 58tn Or “fashioned.” To harmonize the order of events with the chronology of chapter one, some translate the prefixed verb form with vav (ו) consecutive as a past perfect (“had formed,” cf. NIV) here. (In chapter one the creation of the animals preceded the...

No.

Once again, a poster denies Romans 5:1-2!!!!! All they seem to do is ignore rebuttal and repeat their false claims. When we are sinning, are we seeking God? Nope. When we are not sinning, with our minds set on spiritual things, are we sinning? Nope If we had been chosen for salvation...

Have you ever been attacked verbally, harassed by a group that believes by cutting down someone, they elevate themselves? What are we do to? The flesh shouts, return fire, fan the flames, and go mano a mano (hand to hand) with those that persecute you. But are we to follow the desires of the...

"Every verse of the Bible supports the Reformed view. Sheesh... It is not as if the Reformed persons cross out the passages they disagree with. Those holding a Reformed perspective CANNOT disagree with ANY passage of Scripture." [from an old post by another Calvinist) On the other side of the...
