What about helping the poor in Matthew 25:31-46? Does that sound like such a thing is optional? What about 1 Timothy 5:8? If we provide not for our own (i.e. a good work), then we have denied the faith, and we are worse than an infidel (unbeliever). So I am not sure where you guys feel that...

What do you make of verses like 1 John 3:10 that says, “In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”

When you read Isaiah 64:6 about how all our righteousness is as filthy rags, you have to read the verse before it (Isaiah 64:5) that says God meets the person who rejoices and works righteousness. So you are tearing a verse out of context in the Bible to defend a false belief. Isaiah 64:6 is...

The person who is born of God also does righteousness (1 John 2:29). The person who is born of God also loves one another (1 John 4:7). So it’s more than just a belief alone to show one has been born again.

Unless you are a Moderator, or you own this forum, nowhere do you have control over any thread on this forum to such a point whereby you can prevent other posters to not post a long list of verses that refutes your false belief. It’s not like the thread is a book you had written (under copy...

See again, you are not even listening. I said you are not listening to the Bible and not me. Yet, you failed to even listen or hear that point correctly. Only the weak in faith or those who don’t know their Bible well will be deceived by your false teachings. Faith is everything in your Bible...

Actually, John 3:20 says all who do evil hate the light and neither come to the light. So if you do evil or sin, you hate the light (i.e. the real Jesus). Seeing OSAS or Belief Alone Salvationism allows for a person to sin and still be saved, they are hating the real Jesus of the Bible and they...

No. You are the one who is not listening (i.e. listening to what the Bible really says). Jesus Christ alone possesses immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). So eternal life or immortality is not a magical wish granted to you by a genie or a super power. Eternal life is Jesus Christ. For Jesus is the...

Again, you wrote on a public forum and or thread and not a private one. You wrote something publicly and people should be free to express their beliefs in discrediting what you wrote if it is not true. Your control over the freedom of speech is merely an attempt to push your own agenda (Which...

You need to keep reading the verse. It says if God spared not the natural branches take heed that he spare not you (i.e. the Gentiles). This is why your belief if false. You chop off words in a verse and you don’t read and believe the whole thing.

You are not my Master, and you don’t own this forum or thread. It’s a public forum. Besides. It’s Scripture and not primarily my own writings that you are ignoring. That is why I posted it. Some can be deceived by your false teaching, and so I posted the verses that refutes your false...

#16. ”And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in...

First, the born again are those who do righteousness and who love one another (i.e. the brethren). 1 John 2:29 says, “If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.” Note: You cannot do righteousness if you have a wrong view of sin and...

Also, in Romans 7:14-24: Paul speaking in the present tense of his past experience as a Pharisee who was under the Old Law (i.e. the Mosaic Law or the 613 Laws of Moses as a whole). Paul could not keep the Old Law before he came to Jesus Christ. This is why he is thankful for Jesus. For the...

John 8:36 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 is a common verse quoted out of context by Belief Alone Salvationists to justify sin on some level. Here is the context: John 8:31-35 31 “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye...

The idea or premise in the OP is false. John 5:29 says, “And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” Romans 2:6-10 6 “Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by...

Good thing that is not the only verse in the Bible that says a similar thing. We are told: “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” (Hebrews 3:13-14). "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus...

So you believe the author is referring to how he was once lost in the context? What passage in context gives you that silly idea? Also, the context says this: Hebrews 3:1 “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,…” In addition, the context is not dealing with Initial...

Ephesians 2:8 says we are saved by God’s grace through faith. If our faith is dead because it has no works, then it cannot access the saving grace of God. Everything in your Bible is a part of the faith because you have to believe the whole Bible by faith. For faith comes by hearing, and hearing...

Here is another one. 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:” This verse implies that we must suffer until the end for Jesus in this life to reign with Him in His Kingdom. This verse also implies that if we deny Him in this life (up...
