    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    If salvation is based on sinful man being able to not sin then salvation is based on what man can do about his/her sin nature. Since men live in different social neighborhoods then some will be able to do what some others can not. The question is; is this fair???? Most do not realize that...

    A Common Error:

    It is a common error for religious preachers/teachers to assume that the Pauline Gospel of Grace should be blended in with what Jesus and the 11 preached. I feel this is a deadly error that will send many to Hell. - Gal 1:8 NKJV 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel...

    The In Christ Doctrine

    I wrote exactly what I meant.

    The In Christ Doctrine

    Paul’s “in Christ” doctrine (Our Ark), based on 15 scriptures 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    I personally think that when we think about scriptures concerning pre-destination / election we are looking at the subject too close to the "individual" person. I feel that I must step back and look at it from the perspective that God predestinated / elected "groups" that people fall into...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    So you are saying that if a child of God sins they are not saved . But if they repent and stop sinning in the flesh they will be saved. Sounds like someone who thinks they no longer sin in the flesh. I thank God always that He planed a salvation that does not require that I keep the Law...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    That is the problem. You have no idea as to what is being said. You are saying that Peter and the others were teaching the grace gospel along with Paul and that is certainly not supported by the scriptures shown below. Think about this. Those under the Law will not believe in OSAS because...

    Not Faith, But Christ (A must read)

    Rom 3:23-26 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    No it doesn't. You are still saying the other sheep are the grace churches started by Paul. You can not show any scriptures that support that opinion. I am at a loss as to why religious people WANT to include what Jesus, who was under the Law of Moses, teaching those who were under the Law of...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    When Jesus spoke the words above He was speaking to His people, the Jews (see verse 6 below) Matt 10:5-7 (NKJ) 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 "But go rather to the lost sheep of the...

    The wrong gospel

    Could it be that you are full of sarcasm? Why don't you tell me where you find Jesus teaching His shed blood on the cross pays for the sins of the whole world. All He taught is that the Jews believe He is their Messiah and King. Up until Paul the 11 never preached that the work of the cross...

    The wrong gospel

    Okay, I belief that Jesus came primarily to the Jews to fulfill the promises made to the Jewish fathers with two exceptions of His dealing with a Gentile. -- Everything written in the 4 gospels and the first 7 or 8 chapters in Acts were directed to the Jews in the nation of Israel to show that...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Thank you> It is an honor to meet you too. It is very seldom that those with faith in the work of Jesus on the cross get to post on the Christian forums today..

    The wrong gospel

    I don't know anything about "MAD" so how can I support it? I am here to write my opinions as to what I see and believe the scriptures say. That is all I will support.

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    You are right to oppose the view that we must save ourselves by what we do. About this idea that Jesus empowers us to overcome our sins of the flesh. We have no sins since they were paid for by Jesus' shed blood on the cross. The Spirit that we have been given does not sin in the eyes of God...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Are you saying that we, ourselves, must save ourselves by what we do or not do? If so we would have been just as well off under the law of Moses. No where do I see in the scriptures that we can control our sinful natures. If you say that Jesus empowers us to not sin then why do all men/women...

    The wrong gospel

    Can't you read and understand the attitude of the Jews towards the Gentiles. Peter was admonished because he went into a Gentiles house. Peter would never have gone into a Gentile house before Jesus gave him a dream. To do so would have made him unclean. The believing Jews were trying to...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    According to Paul's writings OSAS started with his gospel of grace that was given to him by Jesus. Those saved under grace know the sinful condition of their flesh and know that they can not change it. These are the ones that truly know how wonderful His gift is to sinful mankind. They know...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    The scriptures state that when Jesus shed His blood on the cross it paid for the sins of the whole world. I understand that all my sins have been paid for. Since they are already paid for Jesus does not have to pay for them again. Why do people today deny that Jesus' work on the cross was...

    The wrong gospel

    No, not at all. All of scripture is written for our learning but not all of scripture is written to us for our doctrine under grace. What was written to the Jew was written to the Jews. Most all of Paul's scriptures are written to the ones saved under the gospel of grace; The mystery gospel...
