They don’t use His Hebrew name, because the NT is in Greek - the apostles of Jesus also called God theos instead of Yahweh, Eliohim, Adonai, etc. I’m pretty sure the all-knowing God understands all languages and has no trouble understanding that Y'eshua was translated as Iesous in Greek, and...

Pure white raiment (linen, robes, garments) are the righteousness of saints, and become part of their wedding attire, as shown by the wedding supper account in Revelation 19: Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath...

How to be saved. Jesus Himself tells us about a man who comes to the altar, and prays a sinners prayer of REPENTANCE to God, and is forgiven. Luke 18:13 And repentance is necessary as part of conversion, and having our sins forgiven Acts 3:19 Jesus said unless you repent, you will perish...

And anyone who denies the requirement to ask God to forgive our sins as part of being regenerated, is a false teacher.

Except Romans 11 says all of Israel alive at the time they see their deliverer, Jesus, come out of Zion, Jerusalem, will be saved. (They will realize He’s their Messiah, and be saved by faith.)

I wasn’t aware that the Essenes had an NIV.

A perfect example of inferring Calvinist election dogma into scripture. God chose the plan of salvation from the founding of the world, that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved, . and that those who choose to receive Jesus become children of God, John 1:12 There’s absolutely nothing...

Many people overcome their past baggage and become successful people, which falsifies your assertion that we have no choice but to let our past baggage control us and negate free will Freewill is shown by the elect Israelites resisting the Holy Spirit and rejecting their very own Messiah and...

The Greek does not say Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, but onky says Hes the author of faith which He is, but faith alone does not get anyone saved without repentance. Paul plainly warns the brethren that living sinfully will keep them from heaven - no matter how hard you spin it...

Metaneo means both the decision to turn completely to God and away from a sinful life AND sorrow for past sins. Salvation comes from not just believing the gospel, you have to pray to receive Jesus as your savior, ask Him to forgive your sins. As Albert Barnes writes about Acts 3:19: “The...

To blood bought - the gospel Paul preached: In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul says they had heard him preach the gospel, had received it, and stand in it, and they are saved: 1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein...

Judas proves OSAS is bogus. Remaining on Christ is dependent on continuing to walk in the light, as He is in the light, and continue to walk after the spirit, and not after the sins of the flesh. All those facts are what hyper-grace OSAS dogma ignores, just like universalists promote their...

You don’t get the Holy Spirit first, nor get grace first, before salvation, but after. Calvinism is wrong. Faith comes by hearing the word of God Romans 10:17 not by the giving of grace and regeneration first. And faith doesn’t guarantee salvation. We must choose to repent of our sins to have...

Yep. We have to choose to receive Jesus, John 1:12 And we must choose to repent Acts 3:19 Shalom

Salvation/grace does not precede faith. Period.

Except that’s backwards, as I clearly proved.

That’s not what it says.

OSAS? In view of the biblical teaching that the security of the believer depends on a living relationship with Christ (John 15:6); in view of the Bible’s call to a life of holiness (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:16); in view of the clear teaching that a man may have his part taken out of the Book...

You might try reading Galatians some more: In Galatians 5, Paul lists the works of the flesh, which defines what is meant in Romans 8 about walking after the flesh, instead of after the spirit: Gal 5:16 ThisI say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal...

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, AND BE CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 1. Repent 2.Be converted 3.That your sins be blotted out. Luk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Jesus)...
