    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Kind of strawman stuff, but that's alright.

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    And there is much evidence to affirm this . . . Observation from Revelation: No-one who worships the beast or his image or receives his mark numbers among the Elect, but rather they number among the deceived. Having no defence against unrestrained evil and deception, many worship the beast and...

    What about a limp? :p

    Glad we agree.

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    So He did, but the reprobates and sons of perdition are disqualified. If good works can't get anyone saved, how much less works of iniquity. 2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed...

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    For answers please note: Rom 7:21-25 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. (22) For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. (23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity...

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    Repetition noted.

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    Yeah, that's why they repent when instructed to. 1Jn 1:5-2:1 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth...

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    Yeah, that's why genuine Christians keep repenting. Failure to do so is a sin.

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    I wonder how many Christians at Ephesus obeyed the instructions they were given: Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. I wonder how many Christians...

    Pain and rejection

    What music do you listen to?

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Faith 101. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Faith 102. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) Faith 103. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Interesting. Works without faith cannot save, as many are unaware of, like the foolish Galations who fell from grace.

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Works without faith are dead works just as faith without works is dead faith. Heb 6:1-9 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, (2) of the...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    And yet salvation is by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast. The self-righteous Pharisees missed this. Rom 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. Heb 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Just as well the Bible isn't. 1Pe 1:1-2 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen (2) according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Plus workers of iniquity fail to be chosen according to the foreknowledge of God and never receive the gift of eternal life, trusting instead in their own works. Mat 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    Rattling a cage . . . 1Th 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (24) The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

    Thank God For The Apostles And Their Epistles

    That would be remiss.

    Thank God For The Apostles And Their Epistles

    Would you call Mark an apostle? Quote: Author of the Gospel According To Mark Although there is no direct internal evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early church that this Gospel was written by John Mark ("John, also called Mark," Ac 12:12,25; 15:37). The most...
