#6. Ezekiel 14:6 says, "Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols;" Repent makes the most sense here if a person is asking God for forgiveness by way of prayer instead of a person just believing in God. Naturally a person believes in God as their Savior if they are planning on forsaking their...

No. It’s called reading the Bible and believing it. But you have to be a person who does not put your own thoughts over God’s Word, and you have to be a student of God’s Word whereby you ask God for His help in understanding what His Word says to be able to figure it out. Jesus says, “I...

I have changed people’s minds before using Scripture. But it was not really me, but it was the seed of the Word of God, and all glory should be given to God for that. But I think what is more important is asking the question: “Have we changed our own beliefs based on what the Bible says?” I...

@Taken So in conclusion: In John 6:26-29, the work of God (to believe on Jesus) is: (a) Not our work alone that we claim as our own because Jesus draws us. Drawing by God for us to believe is the work of God. (b) Faith starts off as a belief, but it does not remain that way. Faith grows and...

#5. Paul also mentions that there is an “obedience to the faith" (or obedience of faith) at the beginning and end of the book of Romans (See: Romans 1:5, Romans 16:26). Romans 6 says, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether...

Here is part 3 (the continuation) on my commentary for John 6:26-29. John 6:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” So what does Jesus mean when He says, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent?”...

Here is part 2 (the continuation) on my commentary for John 6:26-29. John 6:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” So what does Jesus mean when He says, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent?”...

John 6:26-29 says: 26 “Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the...

First, no translation I am aware of says that the crowd (not the disciples) who followed Jesus (in seeking after the physical food) actually asked the question, “What works can one single man do to please God?” John 6:28 says, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work...

The problem BB is that the religionists of Jesus’ day (i.e. the Pharisees) angered our Lord Jesus not because they over emphasized obedience to God but because they ignored the weightier matters of the Law like love, faith, judgment, and mercy. Matthew 23:23 “Woe unto you, scribes and...

You disagree with the Bible. Proverbs 16:6 says, “…by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.”

Nope. Paul teaches works as a part of God’s plan of salvation (After we are saved by God’s grace). “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” (Titus 1:16). “If any man teach otherwise, and consent not...

I did not deny anything. I pointed out to you the words of Jesus that refutes your false belief here. For Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death” (John 8:51). But you twisted this verse to say something that it doesn’t.

The Bible says Chastisement is only for those who are sons and not bastards. Hebrews 12:8 says, “But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.” Sons (those who are born of Him) are described as those who do righteousness (See 1 John 2:29)...

So either you do not realize the problem behind your own contradictory statements, or you are just hoping we will forget about what you said, or that you are banking on the fact that we all will be too lazy to look back on what you just posted in this thread. You said, I quote: “Eternal...

Your welcome. May the Lord bless you.

I am not above God’s Word anymore than you are. I believe I have to confess of sin to be forgiven of sin. To be forgiven of sin equates with salvation. So if I refused to confess of my sin, then I would not be forgiven and thus I would not be saved. But if I were to die before I confessed of...

First, you seem to have trouble with the caps lock key. While I have used the capitalized words before, I try to keep it to a minimum because it can appear as if one is shouting at others. Generally, yelling at others turns people off (whereby they will just tune you out most times). Second...

Belief Alone Salvationism is a general category of describing most Protestant’s view on salvation in that they believe they are saved solely by a belief alone in Jesus or the gospel message plus nothing else. Therefore, they would not also include any work of faith or holy living by the Spirit...

When Romans 10:4 says that Christ is the end of the Law to everyone who believes, this is in reference to the Old Law or the 613 laws of Moses, and not the Laws of Christ in the New Testament (or New Covenant). For Romans chapters 9-11 is dealing with how the nation of Israel needs to be saved...
