Paul is contrast that which is 'in part" to that which is "perfect" so perfect would mean whole, complete....wanting nothing, finished Eph 4 does prove my point.

1 Cor 13:8,9,10 the word perfect as used in the KJV means whole complete revealed word of God contrasted to it just be in part at the time Paul wrote this epistle Paul says the same thing in Eph 4. Verse 8 Christ gave gifts unto men, the purpose of these gifts is in verse 12. Then in v13 he...

The elect are Christians, Christians are the elect which is a saved position. Rom 9 has nothing to do with salvation of Jacob and Esau Just because God chose Israel/Jacob over Edom/Esau to be the ones through which the Messiah would enter the world did not automatically mean Edom/Esau was lost...

If you are referring to 1 Cor 13:8 Paul list three supernatural signs, knowledge here refers to the supernatural, cf 1 Cor 12:8 not common knowledge.

The purpose of miraculous signs was to confirm and reveal the complete (perfect) word of God. God's word was completely revealed by the end of the first century with John writing Revelation so the signs ceased, vanished away as Paul said they would in 1 Cor 13

There are no miraculous healings/signs today. Miraculous signs were for a particular time and purpose that has long past, 1 Cor 13, Eph 4.

People choose to have faith/belief by choice and they can also choose to quit believing by choice.... 1 Tim 5:12 Heb 3:12

Rom 5:1 one is justified by faith. What if one justified by faith loses their faith by which they are justified by, 1 Tim 5:12 Heb 3:12, will they still remain justified in faithlessness/unbelief? Does God justify the unbeliever? No.

Elect is equivlent to being saved/Christian, therefore it is biblically impossible for one to be of the elect/saved/Christian while faithless. One who has no faith is outside of Christ, therefore anyone who is not part of the elect/not a Christian/faithless is not in Christ. Again show me...

Sin has affected all humans but all humans are not sinners as Jesus Christ and newly conceived/infants. There is no sin where there is no transgression.

People/babies die as a consequence of Adam's sin, not because they inherit Adam's sin. Much like a drunk driver hits another vehicle killing the occupants of that vehicle. Those that died did not inherit the drunk drivers sin but died as a consequence of his sin. The NIV is a very bad...

Paul does not contradict himself going from one chapter to another. Rom 3 or 5 do not contradict or nullify chapter 6. There is no faith only to be found in Rom 3 or 5. Rom 5 says we are justified by faith not faith only nor does Rom 5 each inherited sin. Paul says "and so death passed upon...

Man does have a role in his own salvation, God does not determine 100% Himself who will be saved or lost. In Acts 2 Peter told his listeners to 'save yourselves', Paul told Timothy to 'save thyself' So man has a role in his own salvation by being obedient to God's will God promised to save...

Again, it is impossible for one to be of the elect without faith in Christ. Unbelief is a condemned condition> Mk 16:16b Jn 3:16-18 There are numerous verse that put faith/belief BEFORE salvation not after. You have not yet shown one example of a person faithless and outside of Christ yet...

Still avoiding: Paul says you serve either one of two masters. You serve either: 1) sin unto death or 2) obedience unto righteousness You never gave a #1 or #2 but try to create some other option Paul did not give. Following the man made teaching of faith only really makes answering a...

You're avoiding the issue: Paul says you serve either one of two masters. You serve either: 1) sin unto death or 2) obedience unto righteousness. I serve obedience unto righteousness. Which do you serve? #1 or #2????

Again, Paul says you serve either one of two masters. You serve either: 1) sin unto death or 2) obedience unto righteousness. I serve obedience unto righteousness. Which do you serve? The issue is can a Christian commit a sin, such as theft in not repaying a loan, and not repent and...

Your eternal security theology has you ignoring verses 1-11 where Paul shows people can fall from a covenant relationship with God. "without works" refer to works of merit, not NT obedience. In Rom 6:16 Paul says you serve either one of two masters. You serve either: 1) sin unto death or...

1 jn 3:4 "....for sin is the transgression of the law." New borns are not capable of transgressing God's law so it is not possible for a baby to be born a sinner.

What Paul is doing 1 Cor 10:1-11 is giving examples of those that fell because of their sins, then he warns those Corinthians they too can fall beause of their sins. If eternal security were true then it would have been IMPOSSIBLE for those Jews or Corinthans to fall and Paul would have been lying.
