The article gets the context correct on Matthew 5:48 in that “being perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect” is in reference to: Loving our enemies. So the context of being perfect as the Father is perfect for Matthew 5:48 would be Matthew 5:38-47. Is this a salvation issue to not love your...

I have put forth many truths in Scripture that refutes your belief here, and they have not been answered properly with God’s Word. I believe God’s Word as it is plainly written in English. If you don’t believe that, then there is no point to continue this conversation. For one can make the...

How do you explain verses like Romans 12:1-2, and 2 Corinthians 7:1?

The idea of one thinking they must sin again on occasion (by a false interpretation on 1 John 1:8) is why one would fight against wanting to be perfect as God desires of them. But God cannot agree with a person’s thinking on sin. That’s what folks are not getting. Christians are supposed to...

I also ask God for the understanding on His Word. So you are falsely accusing me in that you think I am only schooling myself, when I know God has helped me many times to see things in His Word I possibly could not see on my own. Also, fellow Christians have helped me to see the truth of...

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 says, “…God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel,…” God has chosen us to salvation THROUGH the Sanctification of the Spirit. This is a call of the gospel.

Initial Salvation by God's grace by faith alone (without works): Ephesians 2:3-5 “Among whom also we all had our conversation [behavior] in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But...

Again, you said, I quote: ”Christianity is best defined not as a religion but as a relationship with a Person” But within Christianity that follows the Bible, we read in the Scriptures of the defining of the word religion as being good and not bad. You said it is not the best defined as a...

Where do you believe I did that? Prove your case. If not, it is simply another false accusation you have made with me several times before (Like your calling me a narcissist when that clearly is a false accusation to the unbiased reader who actually knows what a narcissist is). The...

That’s good that you ask GOD and not man. But that does not mean you are infallible to not understanding God’s Word at times and or you may misinterpret something on occasion. I am even willing to admit that this happens from time to time with me. Jesus and the apostles were aggressive...

Jesus did not answer all questions put forth to Him. If your questions are built upon a false premise or idea, and they are not clear (in that they are not specifically referring to a verse that defends you) there is no point in responding to those points. I am also going off of what the Bible...

Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 1 Thessalonians 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. Obviously if one is declaring the idea that they must sin again...

Just as Noah was told to make the ark (Genesis 6:14), we are told to make the tree good and it’s fruit good (See: Matthew 12:33). So just as Noah followed his instructions, we also need to follow our instructions.

How does your quoting of these verses help support your belief in denying how God desires us to be perfect?

I see Matthew 26:41 is in regards to how our flesh starts off involving a new believer. Why? Well, because Galatians 5:24 says they that are Christ’s have crucified the affections and lusts (Which describes a mature believer). 1 Peter 4:1-2 basically says that we can cease from sin by...

First, I was aware of the part of Scripture that says, “The fool hath said in heart there is no God” for a very long time. That was not what I was referring to. There is nowhere in Scripture it is written the exact words the way you said it. You said, I quote: “To even think that we are...

Again, this is not so according to Scripture. New Testament Commands That Are Called A Command: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the...

Again, my point is that people in the sin and still be saved camp are not changed because they are not only seeking to justify the idea that they must sin again, but they are also into promoting worldly sinful movies or TV shows, too. One is not changed by a regeneration if they still love to...

Nowhere am I suggesting that true faithful believers are not changed by God’s regeneration and by the Word of God. Just obeying the doctrine can set you free from being a slave to sin so as to turn into being a slave to righteousness (See: Romans 6:17-18). From faith to faith is living by...

No. You contradicted yourself. You said, I quote: ”Christianity is best defined not as a religion but as a relationship with a Person” But again, the Bible has no problem in using the word “religion,” even though you used it later favorably in the same post. Either you are in support of...
