There are redeemed scribes (teachers of the law). Mat 13:52, Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

This is what the other passage says in the kjv. Mat 23:13, But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Hi @Addy. The extreme grace view can be misunderstood to be condoning sin and as turning the grace of our Lord into lasciviousness. I understand that if it is taught properly, it does not in all reality do that. However, there are those who teach it improperly and they need to be "corrected"...

There is also a difference between understanding that I am a sinner, in that I am a sinful human being because the element of sin dwells within me; and resigning to the concept that I am a sinner and that therefore I am going to just sin with my life because there is nothing I can do about the...

I am certainly not sinless, sister. I have sin dwelling in my mortal flesh (1 John 1:8). However the element of sin within me can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over my behaviour (Romans 6:14). I'm not sure what it was about my...

One of the first verses that I ever came across in my Bible was Jeremiah 17:9 and similar passages also. God showed me clearly by that that if I am going to offer to the Lord any kind of real obedience, that it can't be in the power of my flesh. It has to be operated in the Spirit. The flesh...

The problem is that you think that you are free to sin if you want to and that if you are a worker of iniquity you will not be cast into the furnace of fire. That is a false doctrine, according to holy scripture (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41). The fact is that if you are truly...

Anytime anyone is quoted by someone, they receive an alert on their alerts page.

If you read it in the kjv and do not change it any, it is saying that God does not inhabit time but eternity; or that He dwells in eternity rather than time. But if you want to argue, I have already made my point and I rest my case with the point that I have made.

This is one of those situations in scripture where there are two sides to the same coin and one side of the coin may not be easily reconciled with the other. But we know that from the Lord's perspective, the seemingly paradoxical things come together in all reality, and form a concrete...

If you will combine the two concepts 1) and 2) you will be able to understand my point of view concerning the issue.

Because my answer shows forth the ridiculousness of your position when you say that both: 1) those who do not believe are Jesus' sheep; and, 2) Jesus only died for His sheep.

I have not twisted those scriptures... Most of the time, I didn't even provide commentary on the scriptures that refute your position. I let them speak for themselves.

Here is my answer to your question...try to look for it because it is in there...

I have answered the question.

Rev 3:8, I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 2Co 12:9, And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most...

I have been consistent in my belief since the first moment I started posting on these boards, and before.

Even as the following is true... Gal 4:28, Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Gal 4:29, But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. ...so will those who are of the flesh accuse those who are of the...

May the Lord abundantly bless you, @Blood Bought 1953... It's His kindness that leads us to repentance, after all...
