This should be fairly informative . . . What is your understanding of this passage? John 1:1-14 LITV (1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God. (3) All things came into being through Him, and without Him not...

I have not contradicted myself. I have shown you Scriptures that say each of these three is God. I have also shown you Scripture that there is only one God. You are the one that must contend with that. And so, you have done so by denying the Personhood of the Holy Spirit, and by claiming at...

. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. 2 Cor. 3 makes it pretty clear what he brought - the new covenant.

You are correct, Matt 25:31-46 shows being saved by works. So then, add that to the 10 commandments, and all the other laws . . . do you do all of these? As is written in the law, he do does these will live by them. Keep the Law, and live. Don't keep the Law, and don't live. Good luck!!!

Hi Alter2ego, It sounds to me that you have not really considered the implications of your view. If you must have perfect knowledge about all doctrine to be worshiping God, I think this will disqualify everyone. Are you the perfect one, in whom is no error? When you say, following the...

Again . . . as you've stated that you do not completely keep the 10 commandmants (not to mention the rest!), by your own words you do not know him. This is the fatal error of works. You can never do enough.

1. Receiving Jesus, believing in His name is what makes you a Christian. As anyone on these boards an attest, you can have many an varied doctrinal errors and still be a Christian. 2. Whether or not you can explain something has no bearing on whether or not that thing is true. To argue...

Faith and . . . you! :D

OK, let's focus on just one at a time . . . Hebrews says He will never leave me nor forsake me. OK, is He speaking to me? I would say that as a child of God, yes, He is. You may dispute that I am a child of God, but for the sake of the debate, let's say that I am. So He speaks to me. He...

Hardly plain! But OK, as I re-read, I see what you have said. Exactly what I expected. We move into and out of a "saved state". So your salvation is "on-again-off-again" depending upon whether you are currently sinning or not. When you sin, you are not saved - in a "saved state". This is a...

So your statement is that we are not Not until you answer me, plainly.

A yes or a no would suit me just fine. I realize your reluctance to make such plain and simple statements. Of course, you've revealed yourself already. I could reply to you as Jesus did the Pharisees, you did not answer my question, neither will I answer yours. However, I have no fear of...

OK, thank you! A plain statement. Although . . . I still can't help but wonder . . . if you were to put a "yes" or a "no" after each of these questions . . . . . . which would it be?

This, to you, is on the same par as: Really??? If you answer consistent to your frequent statements, you must answer that the person who is sinning is no longer saved. This directly relates to the OP, "Are Christians sinners", but, more to the point, reveals your works-based theology. I...

Not belief in ourself - rather, belief in Jesus. Having believed, we've received. Having received, we are born again as God's children, His forever. Do you deny this? This is performance. Your reliance is upon your works, not faith. Do you deny this? Yet another dodge. You don't seem...

Can you be saved while not "walking in the Spirit"? Can you "walk in the Spirit" on Monday, then not "walk in the Spirit" on Tuesday? And if this is what you do, are you saved on Monday, then not saved on Tuesday? By "saved" I mean indwelt by the Holy Spirit as a recipient of eternal life, we...

Jesus told me He would never leave me or forsake me. Will He? In Hebrews, it says I have been perfected forever. Have I? In Colossians, it says I will appear with Him in glory. John wrote that when I see Him, I will be like Him. Will I?

* Bump * Be sure to look at the attachement . . . that's where the body of the study is.

Well, when we've been born again, we are no longer carnal men. We are a new creation. You're fallacy is to think that because the flesh nature continues to exist and to sometimes exert control over the body that we are no longer saved when that occurs. That is what makes your "gospel" a works...
