As I do as well... But only that it is but one part of the overall plan. It's like "checking the dipstick" when putting oil in your car. Yeah, an important step, but there's more to it.

Doug, Well done! I am in agreement to what you have written up to this point. The one point I would discuss (not necessarily disagree with) is Romans 4. You spoke of him offering up Isaac, but that is not what Romans 4 is referring to. It's simply speaking of him (Abraham) having faith that...

SO it this:

By what you've said it seems to me that: 1. You don't believe God forgives all sins; 2. You don't believe God forgives future sins; 3. You believe we must stop sinning to be saved; 4. You believe God gives us power to stop sinning and not even want to sin; 5. Though it is an assumption...

1. Yes 2. Romans 4:8, Romans 5:1, 1John 2:1. I can give plenty more. 3. You changed your statement. Then you changed it to: ALL sin needs to be repented. If you miss just one you are accountable for it. The only way is to ask forgiveness for being a sinner... Not each and every sin...

There is so much WRONG with your theology it's hard to pick a spot to start with. Your whole practice of classifying sins as big/little, willfully/unintentional is u biblical. If you want to classify them as spiritual or carnal, it would work. But no...any small sin will damn you as much as...

When you say we are not under the law here, but earlier you said we were not to sin "wilfully" (and more shockingly, not to forgive other people's willfully sins) and that Jesus's death only covers past sins there is a contradiction. Stop sinning? That basically demands we follow the law...

Sounds like you are one of those Christian's who don't believe in Grace.

Yet, that's exactly what you are doing. You are pulling just enough out of 1 Timothy 1:8 to make a point, but not the correct one. Read the whole chapter, not just the 3 or verses that support your doctrine.

1. I am not a Calvinist. 2. We get back to the original question, what is different about Jesus' death and that of a bull or bullock? 3. This ridiculous notion that we are given power to have no desire is a load of bull pucky! If you are going to tell me that you no longer have any desire...

I absolutely disagree... It was talking about the 10 commandments specifically --he gave historical references and talked about theme being written on tablets of stone. and no he wasn't speaking metaphorically and he doesn't contradict what he said in 1 Tim 1:8-11 (Especially if you read that...

Well, sure... That's true to an extent. Actually we cannot hear God without a preacher. Now that you know all this about grace, I find it strange you still don't believe grace covers all sins.

Oz, Yea I have heard of them... Don't need them but they are useful. The Bible has already been successfully translated into English. Folks who like to dwell over Greek and Hebrew definitions of words often are just trying to get out of doing what the Bible says. It gives them wiggle room...

Acts wasn't written by an Apostle. Stop reaching.

So what is the Bible definition of Grace? There is none. The Bible doesn't actually define "Grace". Nor does it define "faith". You may think it does on the latter, but it doesn't. Sure... Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of the unseen. True... But that tells you...

Grace is... ..according to to Bible... It was a set up. See, there Not did you give your definition. You gave a definition, but it was not Biblical nor was it descriptive. Grace=power of God by the Holy spirit. Great. But it doesn't really tell us anything, does it? And you don't...

Oh, really? Romans 1:16 KJV For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Matthew 22:29 KJV Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of...

No. You talked more about what Grace doesn't do (and you are 100% wrong) and if your answer is a vague, "it's the power of God given to us", it is also wrong. The power of God is the Gospel. Yes, it was given to us, but it is not Grace. It tells us what Grace is. You simply seem to...

Once again, you still didn't answer the question.

You want me to comment on what you think I believe? No. It doesn't work like that with me. Tell me what YOU believe. Ask me what I believe. In that order! Then we may have a conversation But no, I am not going to comment on what you think I believe. But I will say I have noticed you...
