#886... I am beginning to wonder if you are actually trying to understand what we say or simply block out everything you don't like to hear...

Surely you know this is a false doctrine made up by men? To be guilty of one point of the Law is to be guilty of the whole thing... Why would you falsely accuse me of not making Jesus my Lord? You do know you are technically breaking forum rules here... Antinomian: a person holding...

The Law is 613 Mitzvot... Grace is simply grace. What is interesting is I said Christians are not under the Law...then you accuse me of trying to put "us" under the Old Covenant... Your quote: Surely, you know that there is a difference between the Ten Commandments, written by the finger of...

Barrd, I wonder if you are planning on a response to my last post...? Oz, I am uncertain of ATP's position, yet I feel those warning passages are valid. In the case of the Hebrews passage I see the Jews going back under the Law, leaving faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. I actually had an...

Yet we as Christians are under grace, not the Law. The Law is made up of 613 mitzvot... The gospel or momentous news is we are no longer under the Law. Salvation has come to all through faith in Jesus Christ.

This is not how the commandment came down by God's finger. This is false. Was Jesus clarification written on stone? I am not putting anyone under the old covenant...this post seems to be reflecting that though. It seems hypocritical that you would say in order to love God properly you must...

How do you keep the Sabbath? Is it the way ordained by God in His Holy Scriptures?

Just on the subject of positivism... You probably already know this but it is self refuting...

Why would you start with the book of 1 John to state your premise then leave it? If John is the author of the premise you are using proper exegesis commands you continue with his definition. This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another...

Question: Does God attempt to save someone He knows will not be saved in the end? Would this not be illogical? Wouldn't that mean God is incapable of saving some, because He tried but was unsuccessful? Your response: God doesn't "attempt" to save anyone. The offer is on the table. It is up to...

Barrd, I honestly appreciate your responses but you again avoided to answer the questions I posed. If you chose not to engage me in this conversation that is fine... As to your comment on sin, you have loaded your statement of what you think I believe. Finally I do not believe I am God, yet...

Why would a Christian take the mark? A Christian in name only might take the mark, but a Christian in truth would not take the mark.

Great post River! You know I was just thinking from the other perspective here earlier today. I was not raised in the church or born a Christian. I was a religious pluralist/universalist. I looked into many religions and took what I liked coming to my own beliefs creating my own god. I even...

So then you do agree God did force Himself on Paul. This then opens the possibility of Him doing this to others even everyone. I personally do not believe this, that God forces Himself on everyone, but I am open to the possibility. I am certain that the Father draws to Himself all who are...

God forced Himself on Paul...God forced Himself on pharaoh of Egypt...two different examples, two different types of forcing... If you change your mind your faith was hollow...Those with saving faith endure to the end. I did notice you in your response chose not to address my questions...care...

Many can profess faith, then walk away. Yet those who possess faith, never will. The translation of the faith from the head to the heart is the critical step some never take.

Primise: God knows all who are His. It is God who saves us, not that we save our selves. Only those that God saves will be saved. Question: Does God attempt to save someone He knows will not be saved in the end? Would this not be illogical? Wouldn't that mean God is incapable of saving...

Does the One giving the parable speak of a drought? If there is a drought is not God the giver of rain? Is there not someone who tends the ground to do the weeding, or is the ground supposed to weed itself? Let's look at the other soils for a bit though... Would you say any of these soils...

These you are speaking of were not saved nor were they ever going to be saved. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. Let's start here...but I...

And here is the definition of the doctrine... The perseverance of the saints means that all those who are truly born again will be kept by God’s power and will persevere as Christians until the end of their lives, and that only those who persevere until the end have been truly born again. Now...
