Who's being "coy" now? You know it's Hebrews 10--and you know I'm saying "My righteous one" instead of "he", because people have the remarkable and convenient "ability" of "forgetting" the subject.

Would you also say that someone who will never change their mind that homosexuality is an abomination is also "unteachable", or wouldn't you say they simply know something that is so basic and plain that there is no place for changing that view?

This has already been answered in multiple ways: 1a. You apparently do not comprehend that the fact that the Jews were "saved" only in type and shadow, and not "really saved", like we are, is actually a feature, and not a flaw, in Paul's teaching. He knows that what they went through was only a...

No, I look forward to adding to, improving, view that I already have, but it cannot change any more could my view that homosexuaity is an abomination to God.

Discuss when you're ready.

To recap: The Jews' salvation from God's wrath on the unrighteousness in Egypt, which was by the blood of a lamb, was a type and shadow of the reality Christians now enjoy by the blood of Christ, Who is called "our Passover Lamb". The Jews, afterward, were under the cloud (of the Presence)...

Anyway, I'm interested in discussing what 1 Corinthians 10 teaches about the definition of salvation.

Clarification: What I said was it's difficult to work certain things out, bc sometimes verses SEEM to teach things that disagree. I never said they actually disagreed. Not sure where "don't accept disharmony" is coming from.

Yeah, surely, all the scholars needn't study or work these issues out, as they do, bc it's 100% clear, and all the disagreements Christians have had throughout history have been for no reason. For now, I'm not interested in refuting the rest of these scriptures that interest you.

I don't see mutual exclusivity between my understanding of all the passages I've been citing and what 1 Jn 3:1-3 is saying--I seek to believe it all, not to make one of them state something that obviously doesn't comport with the rest. This can be difficult, because they CAN, at times, seem to...

Your abuse of John's writing has already been "refuted"... When He appears, those spiritually immature, children, who, led away by idols (1 Jn 5:21), are not remaining in Him, will draw back in shame (1 Jn 2:28) unto destruction (Heb 10:39), but those who remain in Him by obeying His commands...

1. Discussion is on 1 Co 10--instead of addressing the passage head on, you abuse another text, and tell me that your abuse of that other scripture is why you can't believe what is obviously being stated in the original text in dispute. It's absolute incoherence. 2. Already supplied answer to...

When you disagree, whether honestly or not, there is an opportunity to expose it for readers, so it's helpful.

If anyone is able and willing to discuss the topic, let us do so.

Well, to be clear, I don't say "so and so is entirely bad bc of xyz", I was recognizing a character flaw among virtues I believe you all have. I'm not thinking you all are rejected by God, and I don't reject you altogether, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize a flaw.

Yes, of course, as I already stated, I believe it!

I believe any honest reader will agree with what is obvious, which is what I'm pointing to--those who hold to a tradition however will have to deny what is obvious.

Yes, and not just you, but everyone who holds your view.

Show me how.

Well, it matters with respect to your "backhanded character assassination" claim. That's not me at all, just expressing my true opinion. I don't need anything extra (eg, character assassination) to prove my point, the truth stands on its own
