    The Decoy Gospel

    Nonsense, character cannot be transferred. Nothing in the word "impute" means to transfer character. Simply said, your version of imputation is a theological fiction.

    The Decoy Gospel

    It is a strange irony, that this passage in John's First Epistle written to attack and correct the Gnostics in the Church, is used by modern Gnostics in the Church to teach the opposite point of what John says! They use Gnosticism's bifurcation of the Body (Matter, evil) does not affect the...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Thanks for clarifying what you mean by the question, or "sinless perfection." Working from your definition. I can agree that one is able through the grace of God, not to "willfully transgress a known law of God." In this, it does not make one perfect in knowledge, nor does it make perfection of...

    The Decoy Gospel

    This is an example of what happens when you marry Gnostic Philosophy with Biblical interpretation.

    Those that have replaced Christianity with Gnosticism cannot see it.

    Thanks for the Gnostic point of view, but thank you, I will believe the Scriptural point of view.

    The Decoy Gospel

    How one defines and applies the word "impute" is where the divide comes in. Some erroneously believe that "imputed righteousness" in Romans 4 is "a mystical transfer of character from one person to another." The Greek simply mean to "count," "account," or "reckon" righteous. There is no mystical...

    When you say "sinless perfection" what do you mean? Where do you get your definition? Who teaches that?

    The Decoy Gospel

    Yet, you are alone. The majority here arguing against the possibility of Holiness. If any of your answers were different, then the accusation of "sin-and-win" would stand. Keep in mind, if a theology opposes the possibility of holiness, and the necessity of sinning, which many do.... then this...

    The Decoy Gospel

    "And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whosoever keeps His word, in him the love of God is perfected, by this we know that we are...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Marks, Do you still beat your wife? Yes or No! This is the nonsense of answering hypotheticals that are based on strawman assumptions that do not actually exist. If you are asking if what I believe matches your ever-changing strawman, I will not respond to that. Do you believe in the sin and...

    Have you ever converted an atheist?

    I will say it this way... "I are one!" Though I have not personally been instrumental in the conversion of an atheist to my knowledge, I can speak to the experience of being a converted atheist. Online is difficult since "politeness" is rare, and personal connection is limited. Most...

    How do you magically go from 2,500 to 200,000?

    There is no way to spin that Trump has done such a great job! Imagine if Dementia Joe was sitting the the Whitehouse basement, hiding in a corner worrying if he should be a Xenophobe and have a travel ban! The death toll would have easily been triple what we have experienced!

    The Decoy Gospel

    And I would add to the quotation.... "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." and, “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Once again, you dodge the question! Name the persons or the Movement within Christianity that teach or taught your definition of "Sinless Perfection." You cannot impugn and judge others on a strawman of your own invention! If you cannot establish where anyone ever taught what you are fighting...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Once again, Where Oh' Where is your Strawman? You imply something of others that you have nothing but a your human imagination to attack them from! "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived." 1 Cor. 6:9. "The way of the fool is right in his...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Jesus therefore... did not possess the Divine Nature. Sad how people turn the Grace of God into licentiousness! To call a defense and appeal to Holiness and Righteousness "Sin"! Even to the point of destroying the Deity of Christ in the process if it gets them their Antinomian Dream of...

    The Decoy Gospel

    Obviously, if you live by a self-contradictory man-made philosophy as that, your Appeal To Ignorance is no argument at all!

    The Decoy Gospel

    You are represent a cup filled with manure, and that God is in Make-believe Land saying that Pig Poo is Milk and Honey! You are playing the Gnostic Antinomian. Do you really believe that if you lower that bar so that everybody is saved, you will not be judged?
