Please show me in Scripture where believers are able look at outside sources when it comes to building the faith (Besides God’s Word). Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Does the Bible say faith comes by hearing Jewish traditions or archeology? Yes, or...

Actually, I prefer to call myself a Core-KJB type Christian. The King James Bible is my core or foundation, but that does not mean I don’t use other Modern Translations, and or look to the original languages. Hence, why I prefer now to not be called KJV Only. For KJV Onlyists tend to only use...

Our authority is Scripture and not archeology and lots of guess work. God is not going to ask me if I trusted archeology or church history made by men, but he is going to ask me if I trusted His Word. While I don’t think God is going to condemn me for gathering with Christians in other places...

At the bottom of each of my posts, I give a brief description of my statement of faith. But just so that you may know, I am actually against the popular church model of today. Christians met in each other’s homes primarily. I believe we are living in the last days and it is extremely...

Sorry. I disagree with your interpretation on the first half of Romans 7:25. Nobody who is a slave to sin is going to give thanks to Jesus Christ their Lord for delivering them from their body of death (Which is an answer from the question in verse 24). Only the second half of verse 25 is a...

Well, first, there are no verse numbers in the original text (Although I believe God did intend for their use later). In other words, not all verses in the Bible are teaching just one exclusive truth always. Second, the latter half of verse 25 is Paul describing his experience before he came...

Not true. 1 Peter 4:1-2 says, “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the...

So then what do you make of John saying he that does righteousness is righteous? 1 John 3:7 “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.” Sounds to me like you are calling the apostle John a heretic here. If that’s not the case...

So glad to hear, sister. May the Lord bless you in your new journey in serving Him.

I think what matters is following the Lord in what His Word says. That sometimes may make others view you in a different light or with you not being as popular in their eyes. You may even be offered with an opportunity by them to make it easier for you to stay (like them paying for your...

She is not falsely accusing you. You said on another forum, I quote: “…you are also a sinner just like everyone else;…” Quote by: Posthuman. Source quote. You also said on another forum, I quote: “John says we are a liar and Truth does not dwell in us if we say we have no sin or that we...

In regards to Romans 7:14-24, another Christian says: Some people believe that because Paul wrote this section in the present tense, he was struggling with sin as he wrote it. Consider an unlikely story from a few years ago: I get a call from a pilot friend of mine asking me if I want to fly...

So you have been down the road of believing verses like 1 John 2:29, and 1 John 4:7 and now you reject them? That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. You cannot pick and choose to believe what parts of the Bible you like to believe in. First, i don’t believe you are applying James 1:6-8...

#5. Paul says in Romans 7:14 that he is carnal and is sold under sin; And yet in Romans 8:2, Pauls says he is free from sin. So unless Paul is contradicting himself, he is talking from two different perspectives. #6. In Romans 7:25, Paul asks the question: "O wretched man that I am! who...

There are 8 reasons in Scripture that show us that Paul is indeed talking as a Pharisee (recounting his past experience) and he is not talking in the present tense as a Christian in Romans 7:14-24. #1. In Romans 7:6, Paul says we should serve in newness of the spirit and not the oldness of the...

In Defending the true meaning of Romans 7: Peter says this about Paul's writings, "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their...

I see verse 25 as speaking of both the New and the Old. But yes. Romans 8:1 is totally 100% New Covenant. I like the Good News Translation for Romans 7:25. Romans 7:25 (GNT) says, “Thanks be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ! This, then, is my condition: on my own I can...

I don’t believe I called you specifically a bad name. Any belief that does not agree with what the Bible says on living righteously as a part of entering the Kingdom means one is against that righteousness. I only labeled what I believe that the popular Protestant Belief Alone Salvationist...

There are testimonies of ex-OSAS Christians. But yes. I do realize the majority will not respond. I do hold to the possibility that all may not believe the Word I preach from. But I still will preach the Word in the hope that maybe 1 or 2 of them over the course of my life will have made...

Yes, I am not saying they are related in every exact way. Nowhere he did say that. Again, I was making a related point on how we are to move outside our comfort zones in both cases. As I pointed out before, both also are involved in loving your neighbor.
