Nothing is tidy. We are sinners saved by grace. We are still here in this sinful world in our unredeemed Adamic bodies, Romans 8:23.

Anything that we do is a work, we are not saved by what we do, we are saved by what Jesus did in our name and on our behalf.

No, it is not universalism. Universalists believe that everyone is saved regardless of what they believe. Once we believe we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13. There is no unsealing. Jesus is the savior of the whole world, that means that he has atoned for the sins of the whole...

The book of James is a problem. Many Christian scholars do not believe that James should have been included in the canons. James was directed to law keeping Jews, not Gentile Christians James 1:1. James sent Judaizers to see if Peter and Barnabas were eating with Gentiles, Galatians 2:11-16...

God is a God of law and justice. Justification is a legal word and is found in the Bible many times.

They didn't opt out because they never were in. They never did believe in the first place. They were counterfeits.

You are at odds with the scripture. The scripture plainly says that Jesus has reconciled the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. This is why Jesus is the savior of the whole world, John 3:17. You need to throw your Calvinist doctrine in the trash.

I assume that you believe that God saves some and damns the rest to hell? If that is what you believe, then you are in serious trouble, because you don't have saving faith, instead you believe that God is a heartless tyrant. You will never see heaven if you believe God damns people to hell...

Salvation has been provided for everyone, Hebrews 2:9. But nothing is ours until it is received by faith. There is not one person on this earth that Jesus did not atone for their sins, but it is not theirs if they don't receive it. If Jesus did not atone for all sin he is not Lord.

Paul wrote to the Galatians, I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel, which is not another; but there be some that trouble, you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other...

There are over 2,000 laws and rules in the Old Testament that cover every aspect of one's life. Anything that we do is a work of the law. Paul said, "Therefore by the deeds of the law (what we do) there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin" Romans...

Christians are justified by faith alone because they are justified by Christ alone. "To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just. and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus" Romans 3:26. You don't have a righteousness that God will accept. All of your...

Did not go as planned. I will be going back in about two weeks.

You are in error. The whole world has been reconciled unto God by the doing and the dying of Jesus. You are in denial of the fact that all sin has been atoned for. The scripture does not say "Elect of God" It says that Jesus is the savior of the whole world, John 1:17. This means that Jesus...

The Bible does not hide the sins and the mistakes of God's people.

The book of James is not a creditable book. It was one of the first books of the Bible. I am sure that James came into a full knowledge of Paul's Gospel and justification by faith at a later date. But for now, it is more Jewish than it is Christian.

No doubt about it you are a Calvinist. Calvinist believe that God predestinates some to heaven and damns the rest to hell. This is one of the most perverted doctrines ever to come out of the mind of a man. It makes God out to be a merciless tyrant that delights in sending people to hell. The...

James was a Judaizer. A Judaizer believes in Jesus, but also believes that one must keep the law of Moses. The book of James was directed to law keeping Jews, James 1:1, not to Gentile Christians. James wanted to circumcise Gentile believers, Acts 15:1-21. James sent men to see if Peter and...

If you were swimming in the ocean and all of a sudden you got a cramp in your leg and you started to drown, would you want the lifeguard to swim out and rescue you, or would you want him to run up and down on the beach giving you instructions on how to save yourself? This is the difference...

The Holy Spirit is only given to those that hear and believe the Gospel. "This only would I learn of you. did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law (because you did something) or by the hearing of faith (hearing and believing the Gospel) Galatians 3:2. God must see you in Christ before...
