    Interpretation based upon Systematic Theology

    And yet, nothing there says that the Holy Spirit dictated the words that are written. Inspiration and dictation are not the same thing at all.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    For anyone with the ability to read and comprehend, the message in 1 Peter 1 should be almost self explanatory. In the Bible. That is what Peter is trying to tell you in verse 25. No Rita, it is you who have absolutely no spiritual understanding. You quote verse 23 again and again but have...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    If Adam's death affected the whole of mankind and if Jesus' death affected only the limited "elect", then, by definition, Jesus' death was less effective, even far less effective, than was Adam's death. But of course that is not the case. Jesus' sacrifice was for the whole world, not just the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Peter, not me, said in 1 Peter 1:25: (ESV) but the word of the Lord remains forever." And this word is the good news that was preached to you. (KJV) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (NASB) BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    And what is the living word of God? 1Pe 1:23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 1Pe 1:24 for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 1Pe...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Absolutely everything. There is nothing that God does not know. He is omniscient. His foreknowledge is His omniscience of the future. It is the false construct of Total Depravity, not God, that says that neither angels nor man can love God without first being "chosen". That is not from God...

    Interpretation based upon Systematic Theology

    There is no indication that the Holy Spirit dictated the words that are written. That is not what it means tthat God's word is the inspired work of the apostles and prophets. Heb 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, Heb 1:2 but in these...

    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    Still nothing about a sin nature. Being saved does not mean that we no longer sin. it means that our sins are forgiven.

    Interpretation based upon Systematic Theology

    Jesus said that believing was a work. So then when Abraham believed God, that was a work. And that was counted unto Abraham for righteousness. That is, Abraham was justified. He was saved. That brings up the whole question of what is law. Rom 2:14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    And you know, you just know, regardless of what they say, that is a great source of pride for them, something that they are obviously quite ready to shout from the hill tops. Though they would claim that is not really boasting.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Why yes, I do believe you are correct in that.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The only one wasting your time is you. There is nothing that I could do that would waste your time.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I have never once ever said that you were not born again. I would never make such a statement. That you think I have ever said such a thing is a demonstration of your lack of reading comprehension. That would, of course, apply not only to what I have written but what God has written in His...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    You really do not seem to know and understand that it is God who saves.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Talk about opinion. It is only your opinion that you have been born again.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Where does it say that you have been born again of imperishable seed?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Where does it say that God says you have been born again? Where in those reams and reams of scripture do you think it says you have been born again?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    This just shows your lack of biblical knowledge.....you don’t understand what it means to be Born Again....that’s why you don’t understand God’s word in the Spirit.. Plenty of passages in Gods word how we are Born Again....hehehe...your intellectual knowledge will never find it.....only Gods...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You keep telling people that you are born again. I only assume that you want them to believe that. You believe God what?? You have given scriptural support for what you think how it happens but there is nothing that says it happened to you. Yeah, I do. Of course not. That you would even...
