How can that be, since those who believe not are "condemned already" (John 3:18)?

If he is being taught right when he reads the scriptures, how is his teaching going to be not right? Are you accusing him of deliberately being a false teacher?

Such passages may indeed have a negative effect for a short season; but for the one who walks uprightly, they will have a positive effect in the long run. They will not "ruin a person's faith" as @Behold has said.

So, the reality is that in saying that I have been adversely affected by the epistle to the Hebrews, he is accusing me of not being one who walks uprightly. Thus he is taking on the nature and employment of the accuser of the brethren.

He believes that people are adversely affected by the book of Hebrews. How can that be if the epistle is inspired by the Lord? Mic 2:7, O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

Anybody can point the finger and say, "you didn't teach that right" or, "you have taken that scripture out of context." It takes another breed to actually give the correct interpretation after you have made such an accusation.

I have already justified my statements time and time again, which statement was not an accusation. Actually, his statement was an accusation.

You haven't been understanding his posts if you think that.

Prove it.

Nevertheless the doers of the law shall be justified; which applies not to the whole life of the one justified but to a change of behaviour that is instituted in the man who becomes born again.

That was said by Jesus in the gospels; which is the New Testament.

You just said that what is taught by the holy scriptures is deception on steroids. I'd be concerned for you if I didn't already know that you are a false teacher. You are dangerously close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit. I know that you deny that the book of Hebrews is inspired or that it...

If Jesus only died for His sheep; and those who currently do not believe are not His sheep, then He didn't die for those who currently do not believe. Therefore they are not of the elect in Calvinistic thinking; and therefore they cannot come to Christ because they are not of His elect. They...

Those who have a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14) are kept saved by God; for they are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5). Those who have a...

Those who have a nominal, lukewarm, or shallow faith can fall away (Luke 8:13) or be "cut off" (Romans 11:20-22). Such have been saved because of their faith (Ephesians 2:8-9, Luke 8:12) from sin and the kingdom of hell; if only for a season. However, they are nto saved from the fate of being...

A person is sealed by the Holy Spirit at the moment of conversion; which will guarantee that the person will continue in the faith. Of course, some are not sealed because their faith is only nominal, shallow, or lukewarm; thus the word "if".

Actually, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4). All have sinned and "come short" of the glory of God. What is in quotes there, above, is a Greek verb that is in the present passive indicative. It indicates that we...

Consider Ephesians 2:8-9, Luke 8:12. If someone has faith, they are saved. Not necessarily saved from hell eternally; for they believe for a while (and therefore are saved); but in time of temptation fall away. Heretics would attempt to put forth the idea that one continues to be saved after...

But they might think they are saved; and for all practical purposes they are saved from sin and the kingdom of hell; if only for a season. Of course they are not saved from hell in the eternal sense.
