Paul required obedience in order to be saved, Romans 6:16 "obedience UNTO righteousness" and Paul put obedience BEFORE being freed from sin in Romans 6:17-18. Paul required obedience in believing, repenting, confession and baptism in order to be saved, (Romans 2:4-5; Romans 10:9-10; Romans...

Romans 5:1-2 faith gives access into grace.....man's role is to have an obedient faith and God's role is supplying grace. No faith = no grace.

I have heard as many sermons on grace as I have on man's obedience. The "big picture" is salvation requires both God's grace and man's obedience. Romans 11:6 the "works" refers to works of merit, not obedience. Though salvation requires man's obedience, no man's obedience will be perfectly...

This simply is not true. If anyone has read any of my posts, they have seen over and over again where I have shown from the Bible that salvation is based upon God's grace and man's obedience: Noah built an ark (man's obedience) in order to be receive God's grace (salvation from the flood)...

Matt 7 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand"

One can give the money to a religious organization that runs a food bank or gives away clothing, etc.

No.

This issue is I cannot steal money and keep it if I repent of the sin of theft. In all cases, restitution cannot be made but that does not mean I get to keep what is stolen. Repentance is more than just feeling sorry. Paul said there is more for those who steal, Ephesians 4:28. There is a...

Right or wrong I'm here to fight. Unless you run away with fright And if you wonder who I be, it's me it's me, it's Ernest T. ~ Whoo hoo.

You can donate $500 to a worthwhile charity in the name of the victim of your theft.

In all cases restitution of the stolen item may not be possible, then reasonable satisfaction must come about by doing, for free, chores and jobs for the victim of the stolen horse....another way is by spending time in jail.

And I'm going throw a rock through every window in town....And you can't stop me.. Nehhh!

The natural reading of the verse is the world is the total aggregate and the subsets "believers" and "unbelievers" would make up the total aggregate but the subset of the total aggregate that believes are the ones that should not perish. The prior verses speak of Moses and the brass serpent and...

Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Strive - agōnizomai - agonize Strong's: -to enter a contest: contend in the gymnastic games -to contend with adversaries, fight -metaph. to contend, struggle, with...

This issue of Romans 4 is not about anyone binding the OT law upon Abraham. You do not even understand the context of Romans 4 so how can you instruct me on something you do not even understand yourself??????? Myself nor Paul never said Abraham was justified by the law of Moses. Myself or Paul...

If you stole your neighbor's horse and then later desire to repent of that sin, then repentance requires a work of reparation in you taking the horse back to your neighbor. You cannot repent AND keep the stolen horse...that is not repentance. Paul said owe no man anything (Romans 13:8). I...

Repentance is a work. In Matthew 12:41 Jesus said the men of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah. In Jonah 3:7-9 we read that the king of Nineveh led the city to repent in sackcloth and ashes. And verse 10 says "And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God...

No one was trying to bind the law of Moses upon Abraham. The Jews were trying to bind the law of Moses (circumcision) upon the Gentiles. Paul was simply showing that Abraham was justified APART from the law of Moses PROVING the Gentiles could also be saved APART from the law of Moses...

Jews binding the law of Moses upon Abraham was not the argument, no such thing is even said by Paul. The Jews were binding the law of Moses upon Gentiles and Paul showed that those Jews were requiring something of the Gentiles to be justified that was not even required of Abraham. Paul clearly...

Acts 10:35 "But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
