James 2:10. 'For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.' Romans 10:3-4. 'For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the...

Not the 'pope,' that's for sure. He seems to have denied the resurrection of Christ...

Well personally, I thank God that I'm not like other people; you know - cheats, adulterers and so forth. I regularly go without food and give multiple tithes away. I'm quite sure that God is going to declare me righteous. ;)

None of us keep God's commandments fully; that's why we need a Saviour. If we did keep them perfectly, why would we need Christ? Having said that, if we have been born again, we love God's righteous moral laws and desire to keep them fully (Psalms 119:97 etc., Romans 7:22-23); it upsets us when...

What he's saying is that the preaching of the word of God is the word of God, and needs no great flights of rhetoric, but only faithfulness.

Matthew 24:42. "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."

Matthew 3:11. "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me...........will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.......' However you look at this, it is two baptisms, not one. You may say that one of these baptisms is now obsolete, but if this is so it is surely...

And exactly where is that in the Bible?

I disagree. Polycarp, in AD 110 or just after, made more than 50 N.T. quotations in his letter to the church in Philippi from 16 N.T. books. The Holy Spirit guided men into truth.

This is not so, In 1 Timothy 4:18, Paul quotes from Luke 10:7, describes it as Scripture and expects Timothy to pick up the reference. Scripture is necessary so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped,or equipped through and through. How much more equipped can one be? See also 2...

A while ago I wrote a series of articles on the subject of the New Birth. I offer them here in case anyone might find them helpful. The New Birth (1) – Introduction: ‘You must be Born Again.’ The New Birth (2) – The Necessity of being Born Again The New Birth (3). The Source of the New...

The Didachi which is the earliest non-biblical writing on baptism that has come down to us, knows nothing about baptismal regeneration or infant 'baptism.' However, the Bible should be our only point of reference. Paul forewarned that the apostasy would occur almost immediately after his...

Your problem is that the text specifically tells us that the baptism being talked about is not water baptism. '.....not the removal of dirt from the body [which is all that ritual washing can do] but the pledge of a good conscience from God.' Outward purification cannot bring about inward...

There are two main reasons why I do not believe that the phrase Water and Spirit can refer to baptism. Firstly, if baptism is intended by this phrase then that ordinance is absolutely necessary for salvation. ‘Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God’...

I don't want to be discouraging, but you really need to find a Bible-believing church and attend it regularly. 'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some......' (Hebrews 10:25). Also you need to count the cost of becoming a Christian. have a read of Luke...

:rolleyes: This is positively my last post for a while, but I can't let this nonsense pass. No. Your point is that in spite of all the most obvious evidence you refuse to accept that the Lord Jesus suffered the wrath of God against sin. Because of Hermeneutics 101 Look at the context...

Your presupposition that "we" is those who crucified Christ is without evidence. This is simply wrong as I have pointed out to you before. The word translated 'chastisement' in Isaiah 53:5 is musar. It is also found in Deuteronomy 11:2-4 and Jeremiah 30:14. The first refers to the destruction...

My church is non-denominational. It belongs to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches www.fiec.org.uk Penal Substitution is likewise non-denominational. The definition that I've been using is this: that God gave Himself in the Person of His Son to suffer instead of us the death...

By 'people,' you mean yourself, I assume. In your utter determination not to see what is so blatantly there you have decided not to interact with the chain of texts that I've offered which decisively prove the Doctrine of Penal Substitution. There is no more I can do to help you. Good to see...

Isaiah 25:6-9; Matthew 8:11.
