1 Peter 1:5 "Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." As long as one CONDITIONALLY has faith he will be kept by God. Again, the belief must be ongoing, sustained to be kept by God. Luke 8:13 "They on the rock are they, which, when...

These verse do not say David (nor anyone else) is unconditionally, passively born a sinner. If one is born a sinner then what law did the infant transgress? Lie? Steal? Adultery? --Infants are not born sinners nor able to transgress God's law nor accountable to God's law, Romans 7:7-8...

Then how did Adam die spiritually, how were the once chosen Jews cast off becoming lost (Romans 10:1 cf Romans 11;20-21)? John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is...

After one is born again, one walks in newness of life Romans 6:4. THis change from walking in sin to walking in newness of life comes about a result of God's word being heard, implanted in the heart and men choose to believe and obey that word. Nothing miraculous about it. In Acts 2, those...

No, OSAS is an invention of man to make salvation an easy, unaccountable convenience for himself. Adam died spiritually when he sinned which would have been impossible if OSAS were true. Ys, men must CONDIONALLY Have faith in order to receive the free gift of justification. Likewise, men...

There is no such thing as sin DNA. John says sin is transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). Therefore the only way sin can exist and a person be a sinner is law must exist (if there were no law there would be no transgression Romans 4:15) and that law must be transgressed by an accountable...

If men were born with a sinful nature where man could only do what is wrong, then that would give man an excuse for his sinning. But since men are born innocent and without sin but later in life choose to sin leaves man "without excuse" for his sinning (Romans 1:20). Could you rightly, justly...

1 Corinthians 15:21 speaks of that fact that all men will die physically (Hebrews 9:27) as a consequence of Adam and all men will be resurrected from physical death as a consequence of Christ's resurrection. On the day Adam sinned he died spiritually (so no such thing as OSAS) but also as a...

Regeneration, the new birth, takes place when one is water baptised has sins remitted and walks in newness of life (Acts 2:36; Romans 6:1-5). Some wrongly think that regeneration is something miraculous, random that occurs to certain men apart from the word of God, apart from hearing and...

Jn 3:6 does not say man is born with a sinful nature, Adam was not created with a sinful nature.

You make an important point. By fulfilling the OT law Christ took it out of the way, brought it to an end Ephesians 2:15-16. By taking the OT law out of the way it frees man to be 'married' to Christ's NT gospel. In Romans 7:1-5 Paul points out it is sinful, type of adultery, for a Christian...

Again, in Romans 3 Paul says men are GONE out of the way and NOT BORN out of the way. That men BECOME unprofitable and NOT BORN unprofitable. Paul also says in Romans 3 "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose...

John says sin is transgression of the law sin therefore does not exist unless, until an accountable person transgresses God's law. Infants are not accountable to God's law nor are they able to transgress. Infants cannot lie, steal, commit murder, adultery, etc. This makes the man-made idea of...

"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,....." THis verse does not say men are unconditionally made sinners having inherited Adam's sin. Such an idea is reading much into the verse that is not there. Adam was not created with a totally depraved nature but was given free will...

We find in verses 3 and 4 who "His people" of verse 1 are and God's people has always been those that obeyed him. Paul shows in Elijah's time God's people was NOT ALL of Israel but those 7000 that would not bow to Baal. In this present time God's people are those that obey the NT gospel of...

Luther was in uninspired theologian who was wrong. Luther was right about the errors of Catholicism's meritous works but Luther went to the extreme in the other direction with his faith only. Jesus made repentance (Luke 13:3) just as necessary to belief (John 3:16) in not perishing meaning all...

It was not faith alone that justified Abraham but his obedience faith in doing as God said. Had Abraham had' faith only' in Gen 12 and not moved as commanded by God he would never had been justified in his disobedience. It was because he had a faithful obedience and obeyed (Hebrews 11:8) as to...

Paul has already made it clear that just a remnant was saved, Romans 9:27; Romans 11:4-5. If you are referring to Romans 11:25 that says "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to...

In Romans 3, the Jews thought they were better than the Gentiles, v9. Paul disproves this by stringing together several OT verses in vs 10-18. After citing those verses Paul says in verse 19 "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every...

The context of Romans 3:10-18 is being directed specifically at the group Jew (Romans 3:19) in order to show the Jew was no better than the Gentile, v9. Paul does not say they were 'born aside' but they 'turned aside'. They were not 'born worthless' but 'become worthless'. Many verses speak...
