    Eternal Life is Now!

    The lost are never told to repent of their sins without first being told to believe in Jesus. If these folks in the first chapter of 1John are not born again christians then why are they not told to believe in Christ? The lost have never been in the light with Christ yet the 1st. Chapter of...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    John is speaking to christians in 1John 1:6-9, You have a pretext. Start believing the context. John makes it crystal clear he is speaking to christians who have eternal life in the first chapter of his book 1John chapter 1, 1John 1:2,3 - the life was manifested and we(christians) have seen...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Exellent question. That is The question that MUST have an answer!!! When this question is answered this subject is solved. Bible uses eternal life in present tense and future possession Examples of Present possession: John 5:24 John 3:36 John 6:54 1John 5:11 1John 5:13 Examples of Future...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    O, so you think John said this, John 3:15, - Whoever(not addressed to christians) - is a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him John IS speaking to his brothers in Christ listen, 1John 3:15, - Whoever hates his brother(brother in Christ) - is a murderer(whoever...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    If I didn't already know you were a believer by this post alone I'd think you were an atheist. I'm sorry but your beliefs that it was by chance that the preserved manuscripts were written in Greek truly amazes me. As if God had no hand in the matter. Do you really believe this Holy Book that is...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    God has foreknowledge You think He didn't use a dead language so that the meaning of words wouldn't change with time? IT WASN'T BY CHANCE THE MANUSCRIPTS WERE PRESERVED IN KOINE GREEK. Gods hand is in how His word will be preserved forever, Psalm 12:6-7, - The words of the Lord are pure words...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yes there is good reason God wanted these two Greek words for rock used. Peter(petros) noun, masculine a stone or boulder, Peter a Greek name meaning Rock

    Eternal Life is Now!

    NO I DID NOT. Quote me inserting a word into a passage? I used my own words that is not inserting words into text. Really then explain what John said, 1John 3:15, - whoever hates His brother is a murderer and you no that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him John is speaking to born...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I'm not assuming they spoke ONLY in greek. As I've said over and over, they spoke in three languages in Galilee

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You just answered your own argument, I dont care what language people assume Jesus spoke to Peter in Matthew 16:18-19. God settled the matter when He chose to Preserve His new testament in Greek. That proves it is approved of by God to use Greek language petros, petra. Breadof Life is...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    I think John made it pretty clear on how we have assurance a hope that is expected to obtain eternal life. 1John 5:13, - These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life and that you continue to believe in the name of the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Give Scripture that teaches Jesus spoke to Peter in Aramaic in Matthew 16:18-19? As I already taught you, no one comes to truth by assumptions. Its obvious at least to me that God had the new testament written and preserved in greek. This is how it should be read, petros, petra. BreadofLife...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Go back and re-read my first post. I dont teach uncertain. Titus 1:2, - hope(expectation) eternal life I teach it is expected. Also conditional. You dont hope for things you already obtained. The hope a Christian has is certain as long as he meets Gods conditions. Like John teaching you must...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Did I accuse you of something? You hope for life in this life? You dont understand hope. You already have life in this life. No one hopes for life if they already obtained it. Hope is future. Instead of telling me I'm wrong , how about putting a month in just studying hope for eternal life...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    What you are doing is taking one scripture and contradicting another. You cannot understand the Scriptures unless all verses on eternal are studied. John said we have eternal life by continuing to believe. Titus said we hope for it Peter said it is hoped for. Do you think unbelievers have...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    John gives the condition for those who have eternal life. Those who CONTINUE to believe in Jesus. Therefore by putting all the Scriptures together on the subject of eternal life the right conclusion is, It is future because it is hoped for. It is conditional because of faith. It is a...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    No, without the word of God I would not know what to respond to. If a hindu or Muslim taught me I could respond. But it would do me no good. If a preacher preached the gospel to me I could respond. Its God given free will. Since you dont believe God gives the ability to believe the gospel when...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    I'm expecting a new pistol. If I dont have some unexpected expenses, I hope I'll have it by the end of this month. Do we hope for things already obtained? 1Peter 1:3, - blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Good morning RedFan!!!! That's not the point I was making. I dont believe the word translated in Aramaic is false no more than the word translated in English makes it false. The point is God preserved the new testament in Greek manuscripts. Therefore God APPROVES of Matthew 16:18-19, read...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You are making stuff up. Nowhere in Scripture does it teach Jesus spoke to Peter in Aramaic. The real evidence is the earliest manuscripts we do have of Matthew are written in greek. You most certainly did, You are the liar, Next you have admitted without realizing you deny the manuscripts...
