No because I know if I continue to walk in the light Christ continues to wash away all sins. 1 John 1:7.

I have only seen those that have been lead to believe in eternal security to continue in sin thinking it will not cause them to be lost. I have not seen this with any others than eternal security believers. 1 John 2:19 does not teach nor prove eternal security. Eternal security is forced...

That is fine as long as you understand eternal security is a heresy and 1 John 2:19 does not teach it nor prove it. You said in your post "sad thing is many don't even begin to understand the true teaching of eternal security... which is not a license to sin " Eternal security is nothing but...

I just asked a question as to what you think 1 John 2:19 is teaching.

So here you are claiming it is impossible for a Christian to fall away? Now saying the Christian can fall away? David conditionally repented of his sin, would he have been saved anyway had he not conditionally repented? Can the Christian be saved anyway if he does not conditionally confess...

What then are you claiming 1 John 2:19 teaches? If you believe in eternal security then you must say that person in my example who lived and died in adultery would be saved anyway for denying such is denying eternal security. Below is a link to a thread I started on this over a year ago, (see...

1 John 2:19 does not teach eternal security. If it did, then why a few verses later in 1 John 2:24-26 are Christians be warned about "IF" the word of God continues in them and being lead astray/seduced if losing salvation were an impossibility? Could it be that John is warning Christians so...

This verse does NOT say many are made righteous UNCONDTIONALLY. As it does not say many were made sinner UNCONDTIONALLY. Those who are made righteous were so by CONDITONALLY having faith (Romans 5:1) and continuing to conditionally have faith.

The verb "doeth" in 1 John 2:17 and "abideth" in 1 John 3:6 are in the present tense denoting the action is ongoing, sustained. What happens if the Christians do not continue to "doeth" and does not continue to "abideth"? What "IF" the Christian quits walking in the light, 1 John 1:7 and...

Yes, it takes obedience to become initially saved, for again, as long as one continues to disobey he continues to serve 'sin unto death'. John says whosoever continues to not do righteousness continues to not be of God (1 John 3:10). Therefore the only solution to disobedience - to serving sin...

Yes, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord because he was a righteous man, blameless in his generations and he walked with God (Genesis 6:9) that obediently did all the Lord commanded him (Genesis 6:22). Yet this righteous, blameless man who walked with God, his house would not have been...

No. All I have ever said that is needed to be saved is a faithful obedience. --A Christian will not be perfect in his obedience therefore must repent of his sins. Therefore repentance is part of the required obedience of a Christian. --obedience does not earn salvation...Hebrews 11:7 the...

But who ever was saved by being disobedient? Remember from Romans 6:16 if one is not serving "obedience UNTO righteousness" then he is serving "sin unto death". The disobedient are serving sin unto death.

I never have argued that one can be justified by good works apart from faith in Christ. Yet the Bible does teach one is justified by obeying Christ. What the Bible does not teach is justification by disobeying God. John 3:5-------------------born of water and Spirit...

Those I have debated with that do believe in eternal security claim that salvation is totally, completely UNconditional. IF one must confess sins ((1 John 1:9 starts with a conditional 'if')) then salvation is no longer UNconditional as they claim but conditional. The promise of salvation...

"Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." Not a single case in the Bible of anyone being justified by disobeying God.

I never argued that free will can thwart God's will. God's will with Pharaoh was to show His power in Pharaoh and magnify His name - Romans 9:17. If Pharaoh had obeyed, God would have accomplished His will with Pharaoh per Rom 9:17. Yet Pharaoh chose to disobey, God accomplished His will...

You continue to provide no evidence whatsoever that Pharaoh had no free will. His free will choice not to let the people go was based upon ignorance and pride. Had Pharaoh known Who God was he may have chosen to let the people go as had the Jews had known Jesus was the Messiah they would not...

If God caused the one talent man to bury his talent then God punishes him for what God caused him to do then yes, that is being hard...unjust and unfairly hard Man did nothing (no running or willing) that caused God to extend grace to man. Yet the Bible is very clear that for man to receive...

Could it be that in Hebrews 2:3-4 Paul was identifying himself with those Hebrew Christians? The problem being addressed in the book of Hebrews was many converted Hebrews, in time, backslide into Judaism again. And the Hebrew epistle is giving warnings about backsliding and encouragement not...
