    Yeah, maybe "hoe" means something different where you come from--where I'm from, I'd always thought it meant a loose woman not a woman paid for her "services".

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    If you really want to help people, including me, petition God that He would give you the grace to actually honor ALL of Scripture, not just your favorite snippets, so that you could actually make a coherent argument, instead of dishonoring/ignoring Scripture so you can just say what ever...

    If you want to present an argument against my position, go ahead.

    I remember our discussions, and how you have no intention of answering issues, so I won't be continuing in wasting my resources on you--I refer everyone to the conversation we've already had here and all other threads where I've discussed issues with you.

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Including Christ being wrong about who will be raised to life--those who have done good will not be raised to justification and life, and those who have done evil will not be raised to condemnation and death? Just deal with the subject matter, don't muddy the waters with emotional personal...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    I agree that people who live their lives looking to Christ as their truth they live by both toward God and men, with the result that they are filled with Christ, and they are empowered to behave like Christ for His glory, in love and righteousness, will be raised to life on the last day, and I...

    No, from the context, the issue is they don't do the good He teaches. Do you deny that this is the thing Christ objects to inasmuch as He calls them "lawless" in spite of their performance of supernatural works in His Name thinking they are serving Christ--that the issue is "I did not tell you...

    Yes, "oops" : their error is in saying "I have been righteous in the past, therefore, I can turn from righteousness and do evil and get away with it", but God heads them off at the pass, warning them that He will not remember that past righteousness they are depending on to justify them while...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Nope, that's not the issue at stake. The issue at stake is they think that being pleasing to God consists in doing supernatural works, not in being LAWFUL, DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER, WHICH IS FOLLOWING RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS TEACHINGS. That's the "proper" way to conclude...

    These are terms I didn't think I'd see on a Bible discussion forum.

    1. Yet you already conceded that Abraham was justified AFTER he believed because of his works that completed his faith, which happened later on after he believed. How was he "justified" AFTER he believed if justification is a one-time event, and there is no ongoing assessment/judgment? 2. Is...

    Same as happens in Matthew 18 with the parable of the unforgiving steward--he did not love as he was loved, did not forgive as he was forgiven, thus, his faith counted as righteousness, not being completed by works, goes away and his debt (which had been forgiven as a consequence of his faith Ro...

    Oops, God can forget righteousness (Ez 18:24), so He can validly say "I never knew you" to people who don't ENDURE (Hebrews 3, 10) in the faith, because "faith is completed by works" (Ja 2), yet their lawless works did not accord with faith, thus, having not tested themselves to see if they were...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Where does it say they were trusting in their works? It says they were "lawless", saying, "Lord, Lord", but not DOING what was righteous (since they are lawless)--and who does Christ accept, when He returns, on that Day of Judgment, except the "lawful", who DO THE GOOD THINGS HE HAS BEEN...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    It sounds like you agree with me--that there is an ongoing assessment/judgment (otherwise, there couldn't be ongoing justifications) that will culminate on the final Day of Judgment.

    So, Jesus teaches about a future event that will never occur? In your book, Jesus erred? Not possible. In fact, Jesus teaches the same thing after the Cross. Revelation 22 12“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. Paul, wonder of...

    I clearly said that interpreting Matthew 7 is to be done by interpreting it in its context--and I demonstrated the irresponsibility of citing a single verse from John by showing John has many verses that contradict your abusage of a single sliver of his writing. You agree that Jesus says "Get...

    John 5:28...those who have DONE good to the resurrection of life, and those who have DONE evil to the resurrection of judgment. John 8:29And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always DO THE THINGS that are pleasing to him. John 12:50 And I know that HIS COMMANDMENT IS...
