Again, you’re not dealing with the plain words of Scripture. At least explain how these verses make any kind of sense in your belief.

God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). How do you humble yourself before God according to Scripture? 2 Chronicles 7:14. If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven...

Acts 2:40 (NIV) “With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5 are in reference to our Initial Salvation and it is not in reference to the secondary aspect of salvation mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:13 that says God has chosen you to salvation…. through the Sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the truth. This is a...

God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). So if your not explaining Scripture that refutes your false belief than you are holding on to something that is not true. You need to explain the verses I put forth to you one by one.

They are not. Look at 1 John 1:7. John 1:7 KJV But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. John includes himself in this condition by saying “we.” He is saying IF…. We walk in the...

You are repeating a man made mantra and you are not dealing with what those verses are actually saying. Please go back and deal with what those verses plainly say (Which contradicts your man made belief).

I can say that, "The dog's bark could be heard all the way down the street, He scratched his paws against the bark of tree at the squirrel up in the tree (hoping to get the little guy)." As you can see there are two words spelled as "bark" but yet they have two different meanings. These are...

The Bible has a thing called homonyms within it. They are words that look and sound the same but they have different meanings based on the context. Obviously the word “naked” is used differently in 2 Corinthians 5:3 (naked referring to how a spirit would be without a spiritual body), then how...

But the Bible clearly teaches you can overcome sin in this life. 1 Peter 4:1-2 says, 1 ”Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest...

Titus 1:16 says there are vain deceivers who can deny God by being reprobate unto every good work. Obviously if salvation is in just believing in Jesus for salvation (or believing in the finished work of the cross), and it is in nothing you do, then one will not really care to live that holy...

Notice how you did not address my point about Romans 3:27. Boasting is excluded when it comes to the Law of Faith. This means that the boasting involving works in Ephesians 2:9 is not a part of the Law of Faith. Please. Read your Bible!

I don’t. The Bible does. Again, grace gives us the ability to do the work (1 Corinthians 15:10). God’s grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live righteously and godly in this present world (Titus 2:11-12). So you don’t understand grace according to how the Bible describes it...

So what do you do with the conditional IF statements in the Bible? John 14:23 KJV Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 15:14 KJV Ye are my friends, if ye do...

Actually, Paul is against Eternal Security or a sin and still be saved type belief. For Paul says, We can fall from grace (Galatians 5:4). We can be moved away from the hope (Colossians 1:23). We can be a castaway (1 Corinthians 9:27). We can be cut off just like the Jews if we do not...

I discovered this link last week. Great stuff. I would also recommend… #1. IS THE TRINITY REALLY IN THE BIBLE ??? #2. No Trinity, No Salvation #3. Defending the Godhead: https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/defending-the-godhead-trinity-the-divine-nature-of-christ.50121/

Paul was referring to our Initial Salvation and he was referring to the problem of circumcision done for salvation in order to first be saved. So when you read Paul speak negatively of works this is what he is talking about. Just carefully read the chapters, and read them really slowly in...

Romans 3:27 says, “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” This verse is saying boasting is excluded when it comes to the law of faith. Hebrews 11:7 says, BY FAITH… Noah prepared an ark to the saving of his household. So Noah did a work as...

Also, if God gave people faith against their free will so as to be saved then 2 Thessalonians 2:10 would not make any sense. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 KJV “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”...

Paul was referring to problem of circumcision for salvation (see Acts 15:1, Acts 15:5, Acts 15:24, Galatians 5:2, Romans 2:25-29, Romans 3:1, Romans 4:9-12, Galatians 2:3. For if somebody thought they had to circumcised to first be initially saved, they would be making works the entrance gate...
