Rom 3:20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-- Rom 3:22 the righteousness of...

We can certainly bless God (confer happiness) and glorify God by faith and obedience, but where did you get the idea that we give God power, strength and wisdom? Just curious.

Where did you go Jorry? What did you think of my presentation of the Gospel?

Exactly how do you know this?

Uh. . . what? What in the world does that mean?

As it's been said here in the past. . . pot meet kettle!

What exactly does 'age-during' mean? What in the world is 'chastening eonian' and 'life eonian? What is the CLT? Also, the problem with the YLT is that it's a literalistic translation by a single individual which is hardly unbiased and not without controversy. "Young tries to represent the...

So you're taking it upon yourself to correct Scripture?

Wailing and gnashing of teeth sounds like conscience torment to me. Scripture is extremely clear on this and you can't get around it no matter how hard you try. It's simply pure emotionalism that clouds the issue and causes long winding posts full of mental gymnastics like we're seeing here.

Come on Jiggy, what say ye about Matthew 25:46? Mat 25:46 . . .And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

If I were you, I would look for another church. If this pastor fails to see the clear teaching of the Scriptures regarding God's omniscience, then he probably holds other unorthodox views as well. Do you have any idea if this pastor subscribes to Open Theism or Process Theology? The denial of...

That's quite a broad brush Larry. Would you care to be a little more specific? Some examples might be helpful.

I'm afraid your just grasping at straws now. Sentence 'structure' has nothing to do with this and neither does Colossians 1:16 which I will get to shortly. The 'all' who die in Adam are not the same as the 'all' who are made alive in Christ. Verse 23 demonstrates this very clearly. Federal...

So does Paul contradict James? Your understanding of James' argument would suggest that he does. I would suggest that you misunderstand the point James is really making. But first, what do say about Paul's statement in Ephesians 2:8-10? How can your understanding of James 2 and the clear...

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. I know those who believe in universalism love to quote verse 22, but they invariably miss the import of...

"I put my faith in God" is not a reasoned defense for why you regard Christianity as true. It's a mere assertion that fails to answer why you do so. A reasoned argument or defense (apologia) is exactly what Peter tells us we should be ready to provide to all who ask.

I would suggest that you misunderstand your Proverbs 3:5 quote. Scripture needs to be understood within its own context. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths...

1Pe 3:15 . . .but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. . .

So are you saying that obedience to God's commands are the fruit of salvation or the basis of salvation? In other words, do we keep God's commands as an expression of love for our Redeemer as the Apostle John says, or does obedience merit salvation? If you say it's the latter, Scripture couldn't...
