That does not mean anything. People in our world today speak of past experiences in the present tense all the time to make the event sound more vivid. So you cannot use that argument. The other alternative is the Bible contradicts itself and that is not possible. The explanation I gave fits...

This is because they need to have GOD in their life to be able to overcome. Confucius was not a Christian. So he does not count. Nor do unbelievers in Christ count. If a person does not believe 1 Peter 4:1-2, Galatians 5:24, 2 Corinthians 7:1 that Is their problem in not having faith in...

Not so. But Paul sometimes uses “I” in a rhetorical sense to describe generic experience rather than his own present experience (1 Corinthians 10:30; 1 Corinthians 13:2-3, 1 Corinthians 13:11). In at least one other place, Paul uses a first-person present verb to describe his opponents’...

Yes, Israel was alive without the Law of Moses before it was given because sin was not imputed where there is no law. In other words, we see that sin reigned from Adam to Moses despite the fact that sin is not imputed where there is no Law (i.e. the written law - like the 613 Laws of Moses)...

Sorry. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Paul would not take on the whole of the Old Law after being a Christian. Romans 6:14 says we are not under the law. In Romans 7:7-13, Paul is recounting Israelite history and speaking as a Jew throughout time with the coming in of the Law of Moses...

In Romans 7:14-24, Paul is recounting his experience as a Pharisee before he became a Christian. Paul (Saul) is describing his experience of what it is like to struggle in keeping the Old Covenant Law that did not include Jesus Christ. It is true that the use of first-person present verbs in...

Blessings be unto you in the Lord.

What is in the fill in the blank? Anyways, this is a public forum and I have a right to speak up and defend myself. Everyone here can read the conversation for themselves and see I have been falsely accused. If you believe I have done so with you, I would like to know where (because I don’t...

It’s okay. I realize that many I address here will not hear me; But I know that others who are seeking the truth on this matter can come across this forum by a Google search and find the truth of what God’s Word is plainly saying. For God’s Word will not return void. May God’s good ways be...

May the Lord bless you.

May God’s grace and peace be unto you.

I am just showing you my belief according to Scripture. It’s not personal by any means. You said I have cherry picked Scripture and you did not prove that is the case. You just posted the context but you have not demonstrated any points as to how that proves you are correct. I provided...

You have no authority over me. This is a public Christian forum and I am free to preach the Word of God here. Also, do you not preach the Word here, too? It does not sound fair that you can preach the Word and yet I cannot. I am only posting God's Word. If you disagree with a verse I posted...

We are to perfect holiness in the FEAR OF GOD. Romans 3:16-18 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Job 28:28 "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart...

If we were to always post context, then my posts would be too long for many people to even read. Some Christians here already have a problem with the length of some of my posts at times. Also, by the context alone is not always sufficient in every case, either. In some cases, you also have to...

Offering our bodies as a willing sacrifice to God is similar to when Jesus said in Matthew 16:24, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." (Which is tied to salvation because Jesus said, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and...

The breaking of certain commands in God’s Word are attached with warnings of hellfire and or condemnation of one’s soul in the afterlife. For example: It is clear from the words of Jesus (in Scripture) that looking upon a woman in lust will cause one to be in danger of being cast bodily into...

The article gets the context correct on Matthew 5:48 in that “being perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect” is in reference to: Loving our enemies. So the context of being perfect as the Father is perfect for Matthew 5:48 would be Matthew 5:38-47. Is this a salvation issue to not love your...

I have put forth many truths in Scripture that refutes your belief here, and they have not been answered properly with God’s Word. I believe God’s Word as it is plainly written in English. If you don’t believe that, then there is no point to continue this conversation. For one can make the...

How do you explain verses like Romans 12:1-2, and 2 Corinthians 7:1?
