God justifies men, the issue is whom does God justify and why? Why does God justify one man and not another? The reason being one man obeys God's will and justified by God while most men will not obey and not be justified by God. 'Faith only' is not the basis for God justifying one person...

I do not see that Adam was created with a proneness to sin no more than a proneness to do right. He was created with a free will and used that free to choose to do right and to do wrong. So the idea of OS is not necessary for men to be sinners. We become sinners following the foot steps of...

There are many verses that speak to the fact man is wicked and sinful but no verses say man is born that way. Sinful is what men become when they transgress God's law. Judas was not born a betrayer that is what he become. Romans 3:12 "They are all gone out of the way, they are together become...

There is no justification apart from obeying God 1 John 3:10 as long as one continues doing unrighteousness (continues disobeying God) one continues to not be of God. And obedience to God's will is NEVER anywhere in the Bible said to be earning God's free gift. Hence any argument that the...

You have CLAIMED Paul and James are using the word justified differently but have not shown proof. Again, James 2:21 ------------works >>>>>>>>> justify Romans 6:17-18-----------obey from the heart >> justifies/free from sins There is but one way to be saved/justified and both James and Paul...

The same Greek word is used in both texts. There is nothing in either context that shows justified is being used differently, that takes a theological bias.

justified means just-as-if-I'd never done it. In Romans 6:17-18 Paul says one obeys from the then free from sin with free from sin = justified, God erases the sins as if a person had never committed those sins.

Yes, the entire chapter of 2 Peter 2 refutes OSAS. The chapter would make no sense at all if OSAS were true. I do not claim to be Ernest T Bass. Nothing wrong with people wanting to maintain privacy about themselves.

Romans 5:12-14 does not contradict Romans 4:15; 1 John 3:4 nor Romans 7:8-9 . Rom 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 sinned:" Verse 12 ends by saying "all have sinned" showing personal culpability in...

Romans 5:1------faith>>>>>>>>>>justified James 2:24-----faith only>>>>>>>not justifies If "faith" and "faith only" were the same thing then both would justify or neither would justify. The fact "faith" justifies and "faith only" does not justify prove they are not the same...faith includes...

faith alone, all by itself, does not justify/save, James 2. Eph 2:8 faith >>>>>>> saves Luke 13: repentance >>>saves Rom 10:9 confession >>>saves 1 Pet 3:21 baptism >>>saves Simce there is but one way to be saved, no alternatives, and the Bible does not contradict itself then a saving faith...

yes, it is thru baptism sins are washed away by the blood of Christ and one has not called upon the name of the Lord till one has been baptized. Acts 2:41 "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:" This logically infers those who rejected the gospel word as preached by Peter...

faith includes being baptized.

--John said the blood of Christ washes away sin (Revelation 1:5) --Christ shed His blood in His death, (John 19:34) --and it baptism that gives us access into the death of Christ ("baptized into His death") where His blood was shed that washes away sins (Romans 6:3-5) .... baptism and nothing...

It might can also be argued that the Bible equates salvation with being in a covenant relationship with God. So how did the Jew get into a covenant relationship with God? By the physical birth. Simply being born into a Jewish family with ties back to Abraham put one into an OT covenant...

Original sin is not taught in the Bible anywhere. That idea is generally credited to a uninspired men and popularized by other uninspired men as Calvin. I cited Romans 4:15; 1 John 3:4 and Romans 7:8-9 which disprove the idea of OS making the idea of OS impossible. According to how the Bible...

Thank you for giving me your opinion but as you imply yourself, opinions are worthless and prove nothing as your opinion here proves nothing. 2 Peter 2 is not my opinion but Biblical truth.

I did say the blood of Christ washes away sins. The issue then is WHEN, at what point does the blood of Christ wash away sins and according to the Bible the blood of Christ washes away sins when, at the point of being water baptized. No one can be cleansed of sin before they have been...

Yes, it is the blood of Christ that washes away sins (Revelation 1:5) but it is in water baptism that Christ blood washes away sin, NOT by saying a sinner's prayer, NOT by having belief only but God has chosen water baptism as the means by which Christ's blood washes away sin.

One is born again through water baptism for it is in water baptism the blood of Christ washes away all sins: --John said the blood of Christ washes away sin (Revelation 1:5) --Christ shed His blood in His death, (John 19:34) --and it baptism that gives us access into the death of Christ...
