Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have...

I mean, my problem is that you have to re-write Scripture at every turn to fit your belief. For example: When you encounter verses like 1 Timothy 6:12 (Which is a command) you have to change it’s meaning to fit your belief. 1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal...

The problem I have with your belief or those who believe as you do is that… You don’t give an explanation (that gives honor to believing the text) to various verses that refutes your belief. Generally in my experience verses are either… #1. Ignored, or… #2. Explained away by playing the...

While technically there are four aspects of salvation (Provisional Atonement, God’s grace, Sanctification, and Glorification - See here) there are only two aspects of salvation we as believers need to be primarily concerned with in this life. For the Bible teaches: Ephesians 2:8-9 8 “For...

I believe the narrow gate is more narrow than Christians like to believe. They say it is about other religions compared to Jesus (being the narrow way), but it is not. It’s more narrow than that. The Bible actually tells us how narrow it is in Luke 13:22-28. The narrow way is within the sphere...

Yes, I believe hell is a real and literal place. I believe in Dualistic Conditional Immortality. This is the view that hell is a real place of torment but the Lake of Fire is a place of eventual annihilation for the wicked. Anyways, hell described by people today is generally embellished...

Notice how the Conditional view appears to make the most sense (according to the chart)? This is because... Traditional Viewpoints requires the most spiritualization (or metaphorical interpretation) of scripture, with words such as: perish death die destruction consumed by fire second death...

Comparison Chart: Which View Allegorizes Scripture More? Many people have their own views on the “Lake of Fire”. Many believe it is an eternal punishment. Many believe you will immediately perish. Others believe it is a temporary punishment. Which answer is the right one? Well, I have done an...

I believe it is possible they will suffer for a time (In proportion to the type of sins they did). But then… after justice is served, they will be erased from existence. After all, that is fair justice. It’s not fair justice to punish beyond what the crime calls for. Wicked men don’t have...

Explaining Revelation 14:11: 10 “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of...

@Johann Again, to quickly address Romans 7:14-20 again. Clearly the context does not defend Paul showing how he is a slave to sin because he says in Romans 6 that you are either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. The rest of Romans 7 and or Romans 8 does not also claim that Paul was...

While trusting in the blood is necessary for salvation according to Romans 3:25, we also need to believe in 1 John 1:7, too. 1 John 1:7 says if we walk in the light as He is in the light… the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. So if your not meeting the condition of walking in the...

This is a false unbiblical teaching that has become so widespread in the church today that it is accepted as a norm. We are living in the last days whereby many have a form of godliness but they deny the power thereof (See: 2 Timothy 3:1-9). What power are they denying? God’s power to help them...

While I love Robert Gwin as a human being, I don’t love his false religion. It’s unfortunate, but Robert Gwin is a Jehovah’s Witness who refuses to repent of his false religion and to see the truth of God’s Word and who hides under the label of Christian seeking to not spare the true flock of...

I believe the Bible teaches that both wicked humans and fallen angels will be erased from existence in the Lake of Fire. I provided biblical proof in my write up here. https://www.christianforums.com/threads/a-defense-of-dualistic-conditional-immortality.8166824/?amp=1

I believe in the eradication of the lusts of the flesh because that is what Galatians 5:24 says. It’s not that one cannot later go back and choose to willfully sin. A person still has free will. But sin can control a person. Jesus said he that sins is a slave to sin (John 8:34-35). Sin can...

I did a study on the New Testament commands. It’s actually more like 400 some commands (As how they naturally appear in the Bible). The list by Finnis Dake is inaccurate. He creates commands based on the grouping of related verbs (as you mentioned) and he actually leaves out some commands...

I see Ad Hominem attacks as attacking one’s character in attempt to discredit the person that has nothing to do with the actual argument involved. If a person is not grasping the other person’s position or they are defending a position that is flawed based on a basic deductive wrong motivations...

The article states, it is dangerous to claim to be without sin. Yet, Jesus said to two people to, "sin no more." (John 5:14) (John 8:11). Who am I going to believe? The words of this man from an article or Jesus? I choose Jesus Christ.

Good day to you, and greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who is forever blessed. To get down to business: First, the thing is if you keep reading the context of the chapter it supports how we are no longer to walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk (Ephesians 4:17). We are...
