Why did God provide a city of refuge for Cain? I think it is possible even for a believer to commit murder, unpremeditated....and it can be forgiven. Same for adultery, I think it's possible for a believer to succumb in a weak moment of temptation and be sorry for it afterwards. The only sin...

He has mercy on who He wills through the gospel of Christ, not apart from it. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.....

The righteousness of man falls short of the glory sister. In other words it is not sufficient in and of itself for entrance into glory/eternal life. It is only sufficient for earthly temporal blessings in this life, much like under the Law......that is, if people do good things as opposed to...

"God will have mercy on whom He wills".......amen, except that you can't just pull that little phrase out of the hat and apply it wherever you want.......it is in context of the GOSPEL ("those whom He calls"), not a blanket statement that applies to those He doesn't call. Jhn 12:44-50 Jesus...

I'm not the one being emotional........it is humanistic man-centred false gospels that are emotional......they are based on sensual/emotional human love and sympathies - a man-centred earthly viewpoint instead of accepting the word of God and HIS view which is higher than ours. He is the Lord...

When Episkopos is proven wrong, he responds by getting angry and sowing confusion on purpose - throwing sand in our faces to distract and divert our attention. This is the pattern he has exhibited ever since I've known him on this forum, about 4 years. Notice he has avoided responding to my...

I just believe and speak what is written. I’m afraid you’ve drunk the world’s politically correct koolaid, Episkopos. Equating simple truth speaking to condemnation/judgment. The devil has unfortunately been very successful in silencing truth with it in our time….no one dares to speak simple...

It must be remembered that those pagans were not saved by loving their neighbours....loving their neighbours couldn't cancel out all their other sins. People can be very kind and hospitable to their neighbours and then commit something heinous like sacrificing a child to Molech or engage in...

And further to my previous post about Cain and Abel, it's important that we notice that Abel wasn't declared righteous apart from the shedding of blood.....because not until that sacrifice was made was he declared righteous: Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice...

God justifying non-believers and ungodly by their works.....that is talking about a time before Christ is it not? But I seem to notice that all who God accepted even in the old testament He brought into a living two way relationship with Him. In other words He revealed Himself to them. Much...

Yes, man can be righteous up to a point, but in spite of Abel's own righteousness he still needed to make sacrifice to God in order to be accepted. Why is that I wonder? Could it be because he still had sin along with some righteousness, and his own righteousness fell short? And what is all...

He is not preaching lawlessness....quite the opposite. But the way to fulfill the Law is through Christ, not our own righteousness and strength. We don't follow the Law, we follow Christ, His Spirit and that BY His Spirit. Faith does not make void the Law: Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the...

Yes, I sometimes notice patterns too. I hope you will take notice of Episkopos' patterns, for one example.

All I know is that you ever since you came to these threads you seem to have fixated on me for some reason. I'm guessing it's projection. Not pleasant to bear with from my end.

Many don't I'm sure, but of those who are born again I hope and think most are doing their best to, according to their level of growth (unless they have fallen away or been led completely astray).
