    The Blended Gospel

    Your opinion is just that, your opinion. I have stated my opinion. and gave the scriptures that support it. You can not find one scripture in the 4 gospels and the book of Acts where Jesus and the 12 said we are no longer under the Law of Moses. As a matter of fact when we read acts 15:1 we...

    The Blended Gospel

    : The religious Christian Church is (and has been since the RCC came into existence) teaching a blended, harmonized gospel that takes what Jesus and His Apostles preached to the Jews which included the Law and what Paul preached for the grace Church that excluded the Law and mixes them together...

    In me first --

    1 Tim 1:14-17 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy...

    About works

    You are right. I take exception to the use of James 2:17 in the grace gospel. James was a Jew under the law writing to the Jews under the law James 1:1 Under the law if a person did not do the requirements of the law then it showed that person had no faith in the law. Under grace a person...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Now you know it wouldn't make any difference how many doors there are it is the fact that people only think of themselves. <_<

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Heb 7:18-22 (NKJ) 18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. The above is very simple...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    1 Cor 6:11-12 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Glorify God in Body and Spirit 12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Are you saying that we must keep ourselves saved by what we do, or not do, and if we fail to forgive someone we are not saved? That might be what you are counting on but I know that I and everyone else still sin in the flesh and most of those sins they don't even know they commit. To place...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    If a person is saved by putting their faith (trust) in Jesus' work (shed blood) on the cross do they then put their faith, trust in their works of repentance to keep them saved or are they still trusting in Jesus' work on the cross to save them? According to the scriptures Jesus shed His blood...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    very confusing. If they are already saved then they have salvation. What I get by your statements is that those that are already saved must now repent every time they feel they have sinned or they are not saved. Therefore they are not saved unless they repent and that means the person's...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    If anyone is teaching obedience to the law then they will certainly not believe in OSAS. My example is when Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt they had water before them and the Pharaoh's army behind them. Did God tell the Jews to build rafts or boats so that they could save themselves...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    If that is so then why would they have faith in, trust in, have confidence in, belief in, the work of Jesus on the cross? The work of Jesus sheading His blood to pay for the sins of the whole world. The ones that believe in OSAS know that they are living in sinful flesh and that it is...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Those that do not believe in OSAS are the ones that believe they save themselves by not sinning in the flesh. Those that believe in OSAS are the ones that believe they are saved by what Jesus did on the cross and not by their ability to not sin in the flesh. Phil 3:3 3 For we are the...

    The fruits of OSAS and fruits its Opponent theolgy

    The proper reading of that verse which you took out of context is this. Phil 2:3-7 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the...

    God saves only those He “knows (approves of)”

    Why do the children of God worry about the sin problem? Didn't Jesus take care of that problem for us when He shed His blood on the cross? In the book of Galatians Paul confronts those Judaizers who were trying to get Paul's converts to go back under the law of Moses. I see many Judaizers on...

    Is history’s wisest man (Solomon) too wise for you?

    Since, as you say, it is easier to keep God's commandments then I suppose you keep them, right? What happens when you don't?

    The fruits of OSAS and fruits its Opponent theolgy

    being "Christ like" is not what a child of God is all about. No one can be like Christ. I remember well that Satan told Eve that if she ate from the tree she would be "LIKE GOD". The fruit that a child of God is to bring forth is more children of God.

    The fruits of OSAS and fruits its Opponent theolgy

    I feel that those who are always troubled by their sins of the flesh have never been set free of them by believing Jesus when He had Paul tell us that His shed blood has already paid for ALL our sins of the flesh. Jesus paid the price for the sins of ALL men/women. THEY ARE ALREADY PAID FOR...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    There are many that interpret scriptures about the "predestinated / elected" to mean that God choose those "individuals" that will be saved and those "individuals" that will not be saved. But I do not see this in the scriptures they are looking at. I see that God has elected that those (a group)...

    A Common Error:

    That is your opinion and is not mine. I can support my opinion by the scriptures, can you support your opinion by the scriptures? If they were teaching the same thing then why did they have a different opinion about the cross? Notice that in Acts 3:21 Peter is proclaiming things made known by...
