I do not see how this supports your, "God will not interfere with our free-will". He seemed to interfere with Jonah's free-will via a great fish... I do not deny man makes decisions based on his greatest desire. Yet God can and does interfere at times with those decisions, thereby changing...

Actually this is Stan's language used. I was questioning it myself. But as you can see above I am not gettting very far as he does not want to support what he says...

So then from your view people are continually loosing and gaining their salvation based on repentance of sin. We are saved by repentance and good timing to our death that all sin has been repented of before we die. On the vine one second, off the vine the next. Be it by our strength that we...

As to your point I agree. What I shared was not to combat rather to compliment and to show works are ordained from the beginning of creation for man. Thus in this man was to work not for attaining God's love or affirmation, for truly he had this when God proclaimed "It is very good", rather...

Can you give some exegesis here. I do not see how this supports your contention.

Can you define what you mean by "slip up"? I am uncertain if I understand your theology. Are you stating Jesus' death on the cross only pays for our sins up to the point we come to Christ? After that we are dependent on our work of continual repentance? No longer is it Christ that has paid...

I might add works were instate before the fall. Perhaps the greatest divine order begins at the conception of humanity where in the garden the Creator told them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28). This is the inauguration of the theology of vocation...

Israel was used as an instrument of God's wrath and justice against those in the promised land. Also God was making His Name great amongst the nations, amongst all the inhabitants who had forgotten their Creator and whored after demons who were no gods at all. Speaking to Abraham concerning...

Philippians 3 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that...

Do you have Scripture to support this, specifically that He does not interfere in our free-will?

So at what point did you become sinless in your lifestyle? Lets keep in mind all of your actions, words, thoughts, and attitudes. When did you become perfect? Let me be clear as to my position. None are perfect, yet all are called to perfection, and the Ten Commandments have absolutely...

If you allow them to.

Nobody questions wether sins are paid for, yet out of our love for God we desire to show that love and respect for Him. We already walk in faith and belief, we simply choose to deepen our relation to God by walking in the Spirit rather than in the flesh. The answer is in the first verse... My...

My friend I see you reaching out in desire to love. Your heart is closer than you might imagine. In my struggles I concentrate on my thoughts. I come to God in submission and pray for His help and guidance. The concept is to be transformed by the renewing of my mind bringing every thought...

More accusations from you here. I think you have made a straw-army by now. I also notice you did not correct what I perceived you believe. Can I take that as your position then? Finally do you believe we are in our eternal state right now? If you do then how do you explain we are to be...

Your assumptions here have led you astray in our discussion. The call to repent from sin is not the means of salvation, as I have continually argued. It is the initial response to the gospel that leads to faith in Christ and is also the continual response to Jesus's sacrifice for those who...

1. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand...

There is a difference between struggling with sin and surrendering to sin allowing sin to dominate us. There is also a difference between living a lifestyle to sin and a lifestyle to Christ. God makes these dividing lines and decides who falls where, but the Christian is to help keep his...

Honestly I am uncertain and that is why I ask rather than accuse. The accusations have come from his side if you read through all the posts. I do know that those attempting to continue a lifestyle of sin both want acceptance for living in that sin (it isn't so bad because everyone sins type of...
