    Interpreting Romans 6:23 In Context

    See, you're jumping in with your false doctrine (without thinking) ... that which you've been deceived with. 6:23b doesn't say WHO gets the gift, etc. through Christ. But, the rest of the NT makes it clear. the wages of sin is death ... for everyone the gift of God is eternal life ... for...

    Interpreting Romans 6:23 In Context

    C'mon, man ... I've gone over every verse years ago! And what's important is NOT exegisis, but what the Spirit reveals to us! FYI, Paul was trained by Jesus Himself for 17 years in the desert places before he began his ministry to the Gentiles (Galatians 1:18, 2:1). IOW, he was told HOW to deal...

    Interpreting Romans 6:23 In Context

    Of course eternal life is IN Jesus Christ. Actually, He is the GIVER of eternal life (ref: several passages). Butski, it is under the condition that you do your part! IT IS ALL CONDITIONAL ... This is what the NT is ALL about. I guess we'll need to go into ALL of the details, right? .

    Interpreting Romans 6:23 In Context

    OK, all of Paul's warnings in Romans 6 ... cannot be washed away by mis-understanding 6:23 ... - no matter how much you would like to do so! - no matter how deceived you have been by Satan through your church! - no matter how many false doctrines you have been taught wherever! etc.

    The reasons for and against BACs being habitual sinners

    And my opinion is not as good as da guys who write lexicons, commentaries, etc. ... Nonsense! They got their info from secular Greek ... I get mine from somewhere else. Taken from my little 8-page gospel tract to today's Laodicean "Christians" ... “… forgetting that they have been cleansed...

    The reasons for and against BACs being habitual sinners

    Hi, Marks ... Yes, this is impressive, thank you. But, "being justified by faith" isn't clear, is it? 1) Have been justified (forever)? 2) Are being justified (as in a process)? Many NT Scriptures must have the spiritual Truth revealed via spiritual revelation. Some are even "somewhat hidden"...

    The reasons for and against BACs being habitual sinners

    So very true ... and it also takes our free-will choices to follow and obey Him. I.E. Salvation is a co-operative effort between God and man. To RECONCILE all of the NT verses re: the OSAS debate ... requires us to see that the one word "believe" must include: obedience, practicing...

    Here’s a list of reasons why BACs cannot help but be habitual sinners Here’s a list of reasons why BACs must continue to be habitual sinners Here’s a list of reasons why BACs do NOT have to be habitual sinners “When you came to Christ … Christ performed a spiritual circumcision -- the...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Pure and total insanity. Even our very own, the JBF, wouldn't dream up such nonsense. .

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    I have an incredibly novel idea! ... Why don't you comment on some of the 10 passages in the OP?

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Yes, that's what they all say! ... Those who MUST find a way to REFUTE clear WARNINGS ... so they can continue to hold on tightly to their false doctrines, which they prefer to what they do actually read in Scripture. Woe to those who count error as truth and truth as error! God's warnings in...

    Many Are Called, but Few Are Chosen

    15 years ago, the pastor of pastors in San Diego said this verse referred to being called to ministry. I didn't agree then, and I still don't agree! I don't agree that many are called to ministry, but only a few choose to accept the call (and are chosen), OR ... only a few are faithful enough...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    You were indeed at the moment you received the Holt Spirit within. But, how are you doing now? Scripture says: one’s righteous standing before God can be lost. “… let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil …...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Farouk, Christian forums are full of people who prefer the "doctrines of men" over the clear meaning of verses in the NT. The "doctrines of men" taught from the pulpits are non-confrontational and tickle men's ears. .

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Perhaps, you are referring to such ones as ... “Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous … In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does NOT practice righteousness is NOT of God, NOR...

    Correction on the Trinity.

    I spent 2 weeks on their forum trying to get them to believe John 1, etc. The one thing they really had no answer for were the 20+ NT verses where all Three of the Trinity are mentioned in each verse! They certainly are a messed up bunch. But, it's the same olde story ... people choosing to...

    Correction on the Trinity.

    Why don't you purchase a Bible that has John 1 in it. The Word (not Jesus) was with the Father in the very beginning. And the Word also was God. And the Word later became flesh (Jesus). This is basic Christianity! Before the BABE was born, there was NO such Person as "Jesus". I know that...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Total Insanity ... many hearty congratulations! BTW ... Father God is in the process of crashing the world economy! When the crash is obvious (soon, probably in October), even the church will WAKE UP ... and take their rightful place in God's order of things. Advising you to PREPARE would be a...
