I suppose that we could; but the issue is pretty much settled in my mind; for I have included in my understanding every scripture that pertains to the discussion, as far as I can tell from my participation in past debates. I have only done it once and it was warranted the way that you were...

And some might even be invulnerable and so will not be hurt of the second death (Revelation 2:11, Ecclesiastes 8:5)

That's what I'm saying. The author of Hebrews was not anti-Cross and neither are we for believing him.

That is your misrepresentation of our beliefs. You imply that if someone is not on your side of the debate, they are not saved. That is a violation of the rules; but I will not take it to the moderators but to God. And it is also a sin to judge the salvation of others (Matthew 7:1-5, Luke...

I do not consider myself to have apprehended (Philippians 3:12-14) and that makes me a candidate for perfection (Philippians 3:15).

Nope. I don't get doctrines from them; I get my doctrines from the Bible.

How? yet, you don't capitalize His title. From my perspective, that is a lack of respect for Him. Suit yourself. I do plenty of studying. An excellent Bible reading plan. I was simply saying that in the primary passage where God defines repentance (in Ezekiel 33:11-20) He does not use...

So, you're saying that the author of Hebrews was denying Jesus and anti the cross when he wrote Hebrews 10:26-31. We are not the same for taking his writing at face value.

If you dream about sinning, you have sinned; however I don't believe that such a sin is willful; because it is all according to your subconscious mind. Likewise, if you see a beautiful woman and are attracted to her when she is not your wife, you have sinned (Matthew 5:27-30). However, I don't...

If we do not continue in His goodness, we can even be "cut off" (Romans 11:20-22).

Words of wisdom serve as an exhortation to repent so that a person can avail themselves of Jesus' blood. Acknowledging the existence of angels is not the same thing as worshiping them. Neither is having encounters with them.

Nope. I have a Holy Spirit led understanding of these verses. Be very careful...you are walking on dangerous ground if you haven't already crossed the line into the unpardonable sin.

No doubt that is the reason why you are now coming against him also.

Are you trying to say that believing is not a work of righteousness?

When Jesus spoke John 3:16, He had not yet died on the Cross. After He died, now He is the "firstbegotten" (Hebrews 1:6). People who are born of God are in fact "begotten" of God; even according to the scripture that you have denied (1 Peter 1:3).

It can produce perfection (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10; 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17; Romans 6:6 (kjv), Colossians 2:11 (kjv), (NLT), Philippians 3:15) God is not an ogre for requiring...

Suit yourself. I don't think that I have twisted your words. However, God is the same God in the New Testament as He is in the Old. So, He is not going to change what He means by repentance just because the Greek language doesn't give an adequate word to portray the same meaning as the word...

"If anyone boasts let him boast in the Lord." This is what I see @amigo de christo doing. He is not boasting in himself and I have never seen him boast in any of his works. He is always giving the glory to Jesus for the work that He has done in his life. I see him as an example to be followed.

I disagree with you. I believe that foreknowledge means that God knows beforehand what will happen in people's lives and predestinates their lives accordingly.

I do not ever believe the voices in my head; unless I see the entrance of a holy angel into the room; which appears as a pinpoint of light in view of my eyes. I also have the gift of discernment (as was told me by a specific pastor); and therefore I have not been deceived by any of those...
