    No Man has Two Natures of being both Good and Evil

    They were created in perfection without the knowledge of sin whatsoever. When they sinned their eyes were open to sin and the curse of sin became their nature. They chose to disobey God and we are all paying the price for that sin. But there is not a single one of us who would not have done the...

    How can Jesus' death save us?

    Robert, I see you're still teaching legalism. Just can't figure out that Grace is a free gift through faith, nothing we can do to deserve it. But you keep trying don't you? Not going to work out well for you, my friend. Why not come to the knowledge that we work because we are saved, not to...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    He's just trying to sidetrack with an argument to get out of it. He knows his theology is messed up, just won't admit it.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    No, you're looking for argument, not truth! That's not what I said! "For his seed remains in him" is referring to the Word of God being planted in the believer. In Luke 8:11, when Christ gave the parable of the sower, did not He say "the seed is the Word of God?"

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    1 John 3:9 " Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin (does not practice sin); for his seed remaineth in him (the Word of God is in this person): and he cannot sin (cannot continue to practice sin), because he is born of God (The believer hates the sin, it grieves the heart)." The true...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Peterlag, you seem to be a responsible grown up that should know that we all make mistakes that sometimes result in sin. I can go along with a person having no known sin in their life, that means no practicing sin, but to claim no sin at all is not realistic, actually it's childish considering...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    With theories like that I can see how you are a member of the elite sinless clan. The better than the rest of us crowd. You've accomplished what the great apostle Paul said he had not done. Are you deity, should we worship you guys? It seems to me that if you have no sin, you have graduated...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." You do not understand the Scripture, Peterlag! You've got some seriously messed up theology going on here! I've noticed that you are confused over many things. I suggest you read 1 John again and...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    That is not correct, Peterlag! Adam was created body and soul in the image of God. Through sin, man is now born in the image of Adam. That will not change until the resurrection when sin is completely done away with in the body. Man that sins, and that would be all of us, cannot and is not...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    God has called man by faith, that is not going to change. Why bother yourself arguing with believers when you know our faith is in things that can't be seen with the eye? Unlike you, when we heard the Gospel we believed it, the proof of believing is in the heart of man, it's spiritual. We...

    The One Baptism

    You dodged the question again Charlie. I asked you what JESUS said and in your answer you refer to Paul. I suspect you don't want to answer the question because if you did it would prove you wrong in your theory. You believe what you have to believe, Mary. We are opposites in belief, no need...

    The One Baptism

    Good works, done in faith in Christ, strengthen our faith, they do not qualify our faith. There are many in this world who will not see the Kingdom of God because of their works. They do not realize the Scripture says that "we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works."...

    The One Baptism

    Nice dodge Charlie. What did Jesus say happens to those that do good works Charlie? What did Paul say happens when we do the works for the wrong reasons? Works are good and will be accomplished through the believer, but for what reason? That reason will determine if your faith is acceptable...

    A polite question for pretribbers

    The first resurrection are all who are saved before the Second Coming takes place. The "rest of the dead" are all the lost from the beginning of time. We believe the Rapture/resurrection will take place before the 7 year Tribulation begins. At this time all the saved from the beginning of time...

    Saved by Faith vs Repentance and Obeying the Commandments

    Those who were saved under the Law, when you cut to the bottom line, were saved or lost by being honest with themselves, or not! For example, the rich young ruler asked Christ what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus replied, keep the commandments. Then the young man told a lie, he said...

    The One Baptism

    No, I have to disagree! Col. 2:10-12 "And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in...

    OK! Said all I wanted to say. I can let it go now.

    The One Baptism

    First off, Scripture NOR The Catholic Church teaches that we are saved by ONLY good works. So you can delete that lie from your brain. :Oh no: Second off, in a previous post you said we are saved by Grace alone. Now you say faith alone. Which one is it? Third off, our works are not a gift to...

    The One Baptism

    Isaiah says our works are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6 That is true! But it is through love for what Christ has done for us that we do His work, not that we will be saved. Paul said that we will receive rewards for our works, if they pass the test of fire. I believe those rewards are in the...

    The One Baptism

    source Matt. 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in...
