Folks, the false teachers who claim a born anew believer can cause loss of salvation must nullify verse after verse after verse. It is hogwash. Imagine the human power to nullify the blood of the Lamb. Imagine the human power claimed to be able to snatch us our of His hand. Imagine the human...

Your answer avoided the question. I say, and scripture clearly teaches, we have been, if born anew, made perfect. And we remain spiritually perfect even if we think or do "sinful things." This is not rocket science.

I have addressed this dozens of times! Have you NOT read the book of 1 John? As born anew believers, do we not have sinful thoughts ad do we not do sinful things? Of course we do. Of course we are aware of them. Of course if we are not aware of them, we are NOT born anew! So if that is...

Good Grief! If our spirit sin's it is not perfect, and therefore we have not been made spiritually perfect. If that is your position, which again you have not clearly stated, your view is unbiblical nonsense. Just a simple question, Sir, how were we made alive from our spiritually dead...

Did you ever comply with the Law of Liberty and go and find out what "I desire mercy and not sacrifice means?" We can provide "lib service" devotion to God, going through the motions of church members, but if Christ's sacrificial devotion to the lost, our neighbors, is not reflected in our...

Why waste time addressing my problems, please address the topic. Did you deny we are made spiritually perfect when we are born anew? Nope, you left your position in limbo. We cannot make progress if all we get is taint so and seldom what you believe is so.

The issue is not whether they are, but whether they might. Do they hinder shipping in say the South China sea? https://www.dw.com/en/south-china-sea-tensions-pose-threat-to-international-trade/a-69926497

You are certainly welcome to your opinion, but it is not one of the ones we share. I believe the Holy Spirit painted from the palette of the inspired writers vocabulary and understanding. Thus they quoted or paraphrased an existent text with which they were familiar. To claim two divergent...

I think the inspired writers of the NT sometimes "repurpose" OT texts and to do so might use either the Hebrew or Greek translations to facilitate the revelation. Let us look at Hosea 6:6. The Hebrew has "hesed" which refers to steadfast love resulting in faithfulness. But the LXX goes with...

If we buy into the false doctrines of the Dark Ages, we will blind ourselves to the truth of scripture. 1) Does God really know all things, or does He remember some things no more forever? 2) Does God save us when we profess belief, or when He credits, or not, our belief as righteousness...

1) Does Matthew 27:52 "designate" the saints as Old Testament Saints? Nope so to make that claim is indeed poppycock. 2) Does Matthew 27:52 "designate" the saints as "believers" (disciples of Christ)? Yes. Basis: They had "fallen asleep" which suggests they had fallen asleep in Christ...

I think you can down load it from an on-line source, but it is the book used to teach me, a layperson, so I would be better at teaching Sunday School and Small Groups. Biblical Preaching by Haddon W. Robinson The subtitle is "Development and Delivery of Expository Messages.

Thanks for actually presenting an explicit viewpoint. 1) The moment of conversion occurs AFTER God transfers the individual into Christ's spiritual body, and occurs WHEN the individual undergoes the washing of regeneration, which results in the person being born anew, now alive (rather than...

I hope this is not an exercise in mind reading. Please cite your source for America wants to be able to stop China's shipping. An alternate view, untsourced as well might be America wants to preclude China from blocking shipping.

The Church constantly veers off into the land of mistaken views, but then under the influence of the Holy Spirit’s work returns to the essential truths of scripture. Augustine helped the Church avoid many mistaken views, but planted seeds which grew bad fruit, chief among these was the merger of...

Have you seen a Communist takeover of a country during your lifetime. Were you alive when Cuba fell to the communists? How about Viet Nam. Venezuela? How about New York City? Consider this, what if Communist's took over Denmark? Who would control Greenland. Who might demand the removal of...

You just made that up. It says point blank we become the righteousness of God in Him. End of discussion.

What does it mean to "take up our cross" and follow Him? It means we must willingly sacrifice our lives in order to actually follow Christ. We must be "poor in spirit" recognizing our reliance upon God and NOT self sufficient, or relying upon worldly treasures. It is not easy, it is, at least...

If I quote the NWT, does that mean I am stipulating that part of the NWT is accurate? No of course not. If a NT inspired writer quotes the LXX, does mean the LXX that portion of the LXX is now inspired? No, of course not. Evangelists use illustrations familiar with their audience to convey...

The issue is not that God credited OT Saints with His gracious gift of righteousness, it is the assertion that this refers to being made the righteousness of God in Christ. Abraham's faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness. This did not make Abraham the righteousness of God. That is...
