    Jesus is Dead

    BEHOLD THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST Eph 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. Eph 5:14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who...

    God Will Judge His People

    Salvation is available to everyone, but everyone is not available to salvation. Some say that reprobates forfeit their salvation, others that it was never on offer to them. Hullo.

    What is Predetermined?

    It's not the new man in Christ that sins, it's the old man of the flesh. Paul speaks to this on a number of occasions: 1Co 6:1-11 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? (2) Do you not know that the saints will judge the...

    What is Predetermined?

    Only someone naive would think a converted Christian is incapable of sinning. A heretic came preaching sinless perfection in a fellowship I was once in and when a member challenged him he got angry and threw a punch at him. He also used profanity when I made a comment he didn't like. Numerous...

    What is Predetermined?

    Funny. Scriptural evidence that the redeemed are still capable of sin is plentiful. Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set...

    How Does The Blood Of Christ Stop Us From Sinning?

    Your opinion is noted. I believe there is power in the Blood of Jesus to overcome sinful desires. Hebrews Chapter 10 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that...

    What is Predetermined?

    Saints. They do sin sometimes. Quite badly, but then repent.

    That you are wrong.

    How Does The Blood Of Christ Stop Us From Sinning?

    Again, not unless you allow it to. Heb 10:28-29 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. (29) How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Faith without works is dead. Works without faith are dead. Faith and works accompany salvation.

    What is Predetermined?

    1Ti 5:19-20 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. (20) Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. Gal 2:11-14 Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed...

    How Does The Blood Of Christ Stop Us From Sinning?

    Yes, very well put. Knowing what we are redeemed with should be incentive to walk in paths of righteousness. Thanks for furthering this discussion. 1Pe 1:17-19 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of...

    How Does The Blood Of Christ Stop Us From Sinning?

    Not unless we allow it to. Joh 6:53-56 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. (54) Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day...

    What is Predetermined?

    Strawman argument which you have invented and I haven't presented. Naughty. There is a clear path of logic and reasoning that links Adam and Eve's eating forbidden fruit to their guilt for doing so, otherwise any penalty for their doing so would be unjust. Rather than prove freewill is...

    How Does The Blood Of Christ Stop Us From Sinning?

    1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. We know the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin, but how does it prevent us from sinning? Heb 9:13-14 For if the blood of bulls...

    What is Predetermined?

    Everyone is predestined to have freewill in some things. I didn't choose whether or not to be born and nor did I choose my genetic composition, so no freewill there. Psa 139:13-16 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise You, for I am fearfully...

    What is Predetermined?

    Of course He did because nothing is ever beyond His ability to know and that's why the names of penitents are written in heaven in the Book of Life. Heb 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit...
