You keep forgetting that don't adhere to OSAS, but I do understand where they are coming from, and I have no problem with it. There are many in my Baptist Church that believe OSAS and we get along just fine, no problem. I know for a fact they hate sin, they in no way use OSAS as a license to...

Hebrews is a case for Christ! The entire book is explaining the superiority of the New Covenant in Christ over the Law of Moses. There was peer pressure from the temple worshiping Jews on the new Hebrew converts to return to works. Much like you, they didn't understand Grace! Paul was...

Ok, whatever you say.

"sin willfully" here in Heb. 10:26 is called by many theologians "the willful sin." It is not the acts of sinning, it is the willful act of apostasy, willfully denouncing Christ. I'm convinced that Paul wrote Heb. no one else had the great knowledge to write it. He is appealing to the new...

Do you remember Paul saying, "that with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made into salvation?" Rom. 10:10 Think about that BH. We are made righteous by our belief from the heart. No works of any kind can make us righteous. We don't work to get saved...

No one has ever lived on this earth (other than Christ, and possibly Paul) who didn't learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ from another man. Once you learn that Gospel and what it means, someone still has to show you what to do with what you have learned. Not a single one of us here have created...

No, the scripture is not simple. I have a serious problem with that, BH. Whether you are following the Law of Moses, Christ Commandments, or a Law you have made yourself, that is Law. You have made something a requirement for salvation, no matter where it comes from, you are living under...

I have read the Bible from cover to cover over 20 times in my life so far. I read the scripture and various commentary on that scripture as I go, to get broader view of what is being said. It takes me between 1 1/2 to 2 years to study from cover to cover each time. That is reading every night...

BH, when you come to the knowledge of what Grace really is you will understand what we are saying. "Doing righteousness" is being in Christ with your faith in tact! It's not what you think it is, by keeping this or that commandment, some even making a list of they are to do! I have told you...

I already have, but your eyes are closed to it. No where in scripture are we told we can cease from sin. But you want to take a part of a verse and make it so.

There is your problem!!! You refuse to accept the full verse and pick what you want to support. That is called cherry-picking! "Cease from sin" does not mean what you are trying to make it say. There is a matter of "suffering in the flesh" and that must be defined in order to define the part...

You can't leave out what Peter said, "he who has suffered in the flesh." This is what you want to leave out! But this is the key of the whole matter. The battle between the flesh and the spirit because of man's natural desire to sin. This battle will cease if you if you do as Peter said in...

I'm afraid that is not the correct interpretation of 1 Peter 4:1. "he that has suffered in the flesh" is referring to the battle between the flesh and the spirit. When one stops trying to live his life of his own will (self effort) and depend on the Holy Spirit, the battle with sin begins to...

Will you answer the question? Are you or are you not without sin?

@Michiah-Imla It appears you have seen fit to be the official rock chunker on these boards. You have as much told me you are not perfect, so you too have sin! "He who is without sin let him cast the first stone." Are you or are you not without sin that you can cast the stones? Just a...

So you don't claim that you have stopped sinning altogether?

You should be able to see why many are upset with you! Phil. 3:12-13 "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this...

I know you're in another argument, but I want to say this. Christ doubled down on the Law showing man how utterly impossible it was to keep it perfectly as required. Paul, with his New Covenant knowledge given to him by Christ, tells us that the Law was to show us what sin is, and to point to...

Oh no! Christ was not changing the Law, He was doubling down on it. He was showing the depth of the Law in the spiritual side as well as the physical.

Christ was the last prophet under the Law of Moses, He taught the Law, which is obeying and doing. After His death, burial, and resurrection, He gave a New Covenant to Paul. Paul said that he didn't receive his Gospel from man but directly from Christ. So it seems to me you are placing Christ...
