Not sure why you would point out the fact that the truth of the gospel is being maligned "everywhere", but never once tell what the truth of the gospel is. The truth of the gospel is, Jesus Christ came as the promised Messiah as God in the flesh offered as the perfect and eternal sacrifice for...

They are incompatible, but only in the context of justification. Once saved we no longer follow the law written on "tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." "The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." 2 Corinthians 3:3-6 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the...

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Wasn't it "redemption" that was finished? Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Exactly why Hebrews was written, as well as Galatians. Many Christians are caught up in the same thing. Some of them on this very forum, but if the gospel was ever believed, it doesn't matter if someone becomes deceived of the truth through false teaching. The foundation that was laid was laid...

However you decide to "flesh this out" can't change clear scripture. I believe you are the one that's "biased", because there is no way you can deny what the last three passages used unless you are. My only reason for being here is from love. It's not about being "right". It's to show those who...

Thanks for your comment. I understand there will be some who disagree. You are correct that there are consequences, the bible even tells us what they are. One of the passages I used in the post but you seem to not recognize it. 1 Corinthians 3 is teaching there are rewards lost, but never our...

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to take God's Word over your opinion. If one of us is going to "consign a vast number of people to hell", I would say it would be the one teaching his own understanding rather than clear scripture. John 3:16, Rom. 3:22, Rom. 3:24, Rom. 3:26, Rom. 3:28-30, Rom. 4:3...

Hebrews was written to Hebrew believers. Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Hebrews 1-6 is widely used by false teachers to prove salvation can be lost. This is mostly due to a...

You might want to reconsider that thought. Considering they teach water baptism and obedience is required for salvation, wouldn't you say the Church of Christ teaches a works based salvation? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Is "drawing" equivalent to saving? No one is saved until they have believed the...

The gospel is by grace, through faith, in Christ alone. Anything other than that is a false doctrine that has no power to save. Galatians 2:4-5 4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might...

I understand believers can be deceived, but anyone believing "another gospel" that teaches salvation can be lost has not believed the truth. A person cannot be saved by a false gospel. If someone has been saved, but is deceived, it shouldn't take much to bring them to the truth again. I have a...

Eternal security is the gospel. If a person believes they can lose salvation, they have never received the Holy Spirit, because they have not trusted Christ by faith. They are in some way depending on themselves.

True for our mortal man, not for our spirit in Christ. I believe in Hebrews 6:4-6, the writer is speaking of those who have been saved at one point, then were deceived by a false gospel. It is impossible to bring them to repentance again because in the context of justification, we can only...

I have shown by scripture (which you continue to ignore) that in the context of justification, You can't repent of sins to be justified! It's not my word, but God's!

Thanks for expressing my need to elaborate APAK. The truth is in scripture, and the truth is made simple by God, but difficult by man. Jesus said......."that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). The bible says when we trust Christ as...

We do have a flesh nature and a divine nature as Christians. All sins we commit are in the flesh only, and the flesh is dead to God. We live for Him only through the "new man" which was created "in Christ". Eternal security is not a "heavy" subject. It has been made heavy by man. It's actually...

This is not a new idea, though it may be for you. The only reason I'm responding to you at all is because someone else may be helped through the answer. It seems you are hell bent on building your pride trying to look like some great theologian, while completely ignoring the truth of scripture...

I have repeatedly made the distinction between what scripture says is true for our flesh, and what is true for our spirit in Christ. You continue to fail to make the distinction. You "hear" what you want, so you will have some reason to argue with me. Please consider ALL the scripture that has...

Believe as used in John 6:29..... G4100 πιστεύω pisteuō pist-yoo'-o From G4102; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), that is, credit; by implication to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well being to Christ): - believe (-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.
