All things are possible with God. :) This is actually the whole point, and you just don't get it. But again, all things are possible with God. Grace and peace to you.

Oh, quite so. No, I affirmed them. As if the Word of God needs affirming, by me or anybody else... :) But they do not somehow nullify the scriptures I have posted, as you would have it. See above. What is, is. It is what it is. Right back at you. You know, we can just agree to disagree...

Yet again, it is what it is. Grace and peace to you.

Nobody disagrees with those scriptures, Michiah-Imla. Nobody. But using them as if they nullify all the scriptures we have pointed out ~ which is exactly what you are doing ~ is the problem. Nope. Because we could never do so, but Christ has done it for us, and we can rest in Him. We do...

Well, they're like the terribly mistaken young man in Matthew 19, who said to Jesus, "All these things I have kept; what do I still lack?" The good thing about him is that even so, he still knew he was lacking something... :) Grace and peace to you.

It's no game. It is what it is. Only once is sufficient. Like I said, it is what it is. Well you don't respond to them at all, because they debunk what you keep saying, and you can't have that... LOL! That's exactly the problem. You're comparing apples to oranges and and conflating the...

Right, I know exactly what you're talking about, as does everyone else here, but the fact is, by exclusion, the ones who are of us have been made that way by God himself, and thus, through His sustaining power through the work of the Holy Spirit in us, we will not fall away. Though we could...

Well, okay, understood, but... nothing temporal is able to "cause us to lose it." Observe and understand: "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us... neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor...

Yes, it was quite silly. Farouk is exactly right. As John says: "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come... They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us...

None of us makes that or any other scripture void in any way. That shoe is firmly on your foot (and also in your mouth). To wit: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48) The Scripture is what it is, but some posters here apparently think...

If that were only true, we could be spared so much inanity. But alas... Grace and peace to you.

There is no condition. "Go and sin no more" is an "in view of this fact" command. The very reason Jesus tells her to "go and sin no more" is because, among other things, He knows she will. Like anxiety. Why does Jesus tell us not to be anxious for anything? Because He knows we will be. But...

As Christians, we certainly don't want to ~ and try not to ~ fall short of God's glory (sin) any longer. And this is certainly the exhortation, from Jesus to the woman at the well in John 4, and the woman guilty of adultery in John 8, and from John in 1 John 2, and many other places ~ to "lay...

...if it's thought that there is no more consequence of sin. That would be antinomianism, which would be the real fallacy. But no one here is suggesting that there are no more consequences of sin for those who are in Christ. God disciplines those who are in Christ. What we are proclaiming...

There are some good, Gospel-preaching Episcopal churches... like Michael Youssef's church in Atlanta, Church of the Apostles. LINK

Absolutely. And 1 Peter 1: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in...

I'm... going to pass on this comment... :) See above (post 375). No apology necessary. But it seems to be much more than what you say here. Grace and peace to you.

Regarding Paul's exhortations in Ephesians 5... What he is preaching here to men and women alike ~ in differing ways, of course ~ is to strive toward the reversal of God's judgment placed on Adam and Eve as a result of their fall in Genesis 3. Because one day, it will be finally reversed for...

Okay, yeah. You're your own person. Fair enough. Like I said, you're your own person. I agree. Paul exhorts those that don't to remain single in 1 Corinthians 7. God places different callings on different people. Not all are called to be married. All I was saying to you was to...

You know, I'm just going to say that I have read most of the posts in this thread, and the venom (figuratively speaking) coming out of people is just astounding, considering the nature of this forum ~ or what that nature is perported to be. Just astounding. Quite un-Christ-like, quite...
