One remains lost as long as one continues in disobedience. The only solution of disobedience and being lost is obedience to be saved. Repentance and faith are forms of obedience for they certainly are not disobedience. Therefore obedience (faith, repentance) must occur before...

Obviously you cannot kill something that was never alive. Is shooting at a picture of a human in a gun range sinful? I don't think so. Back in the day when I was a kid, kids played 'cowboy and Indian', 'cops and robbers' and would 'shoot' each other. It was just a game. But I suppose if one...

God's word is absolute truth (John 17:17) for if it is not then how can one place trust and faith in something that would be a lie? If it is not truth but lies, then we are wasting our time here debating/discussing lies and opinions. The truth, God's word, can be possessed (John 8:32; 1 John...

In a FIGURATIVE sense, Christians can have "demons" as having trouble with alcohol, drunkenness.

Hi, Not in the sense of demon possession back in the first century.

Hi,

Matthew 12:41 the Ninevites repented. Jonah 3 Nineveh repented in sackcloth and verse 10 says "And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way (repented); and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not." God saw works and that work was...

I disagree for the fact that those who continue in disobedience/rebellion/unrighteousness will be lost and the fact the Bible says obedience to GOd's will does say.

I've always viewed John 8:44 as a reference to Satan in the garden of Eden. Maybe it does, maybe not.

The "not of works" excludes works of merit one might do to try and merit salvation and if one could earn salvation by his works then he could boast about that. EPh 2:9 therefore does exclude works ofmeirt but does NOT exclude obedience to the will of God for ALL the disobedient will be lost...

As I posted in an earlier post of mine, Romans 5:19 does NOT say many are UNCONDITIONALLY made sinners by Adam's one sin. No one is UNCONDITIONALLY made a sinner no more than anyone is UNCONDITIONALLY made righteous. Secondly, Romans 5:19 is a if-then type statement meaning IF Rom 5:19(a) is...

You put salvation BEFORE obedience when the Bible does not. God requires obedience then He justifies. No example in the BIble of one being justified while continuing in disobedience to the will of God. Hebrews 3:9 clearly shows Christ saves those who obey not those who continue in disobedience.

Yes, we all physically die as a CONSEQUENCE of Adam sinning. All do not physically die as a result of INHERITING Adam's sin. A drunken person crosses the center line hits another vehicle killing those innocent victims. They died as a consequence of the drunken man's sin but did not die having...

Yes, Peter preached the baptism of Christ's great commission to the Jews (Acts of the Apostles 2:38) and Gentiles (Acts of the Apostles 10:47-48). So if those who rejected John's baptism were rejecting the counsel of God (Luke 7:30) the same can be said of those who reject Christ's baptism of...

Romans 7:8 "But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead." Romans 7:9 "For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died." ---Paul was once spiritually alive, but then...

---All physically die as a consequence of Adam sinning not because all inherit Adam's sin. ---I see that all accountable people are under God's law whether they know it or not or like it or not. One transgression of law makes one a sinner. ---Romans 5:19 "For as by one man's disobedience many...

Therefore obedience is a necessary part of salvation hence man does have something to do to be saved....obey Hebrews 5:9.

John was authorized by God to baptize. Therefore those that rejected John's baptism are said to have rejected the counsel of God Luke 7:30. What can be said of those that reject Christ's baptism of the great commission that has been commanded unto men?

Yes, men are told to seek God and they can find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29). Men are commanded to seek the Lord (Isaiah 55:6), seek the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). Men have sought the Lord (2 Chronicles 14:7; 2 Chronicles 15:4; Psalms 34:4; Psalms 77:2) How do some reconcile this with Romans...
