Like all words (even in English), words can have different meanings based on the context. For example: I can say that, "The dog's bark could be heard all the way down the street; He scratched his paws against the bark of tree at the squirrel up in the tree (hoping to get the little guy)." As...

Jesus also said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.” (John 8:51). Jesus also said, “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain...

The gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. It’s believing that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He was risen the third day. This is a big part of how we are Initially Saved (even though it is something we must continue to believe in). But there is a CALL of the gospel (not that it is the...

In the world of Protestantism it is impossible. But with God all things are possible. Again, all I can do is encourage you to look over the verses I put forth to you and to read the chapters in prayer for those verses. Let God truly talk to you about this. Those who do evil (even if they are...

When we look at the words work out in Philippians 2:12 this is in context to working out your salvation with fear and trembling (which is within the same verse). This is in context to how we are to have the like mind that Christ had in that He was obedient to the Father unto death (See...

In Acts 5, when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Spirit and died, the church (and all who heard about it) a great fear came upon them. Acts of the Apostles 5:1-11 “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being...

One truth does not undo another. Yes, it is true that Scripture tells us that God (Christ) is the One who ultimately does the work within a believer. Philippians 1:6 Philippians 1:11 Philippians 2:13 Philippians 4:13 1 Corinthians 15:10 Hebrews 12:1-2 Hebrews 13:21 Isaiah 26:12 1 John 4:12...

You are not arguing with me, but you are arguing against what words mean. According to Webster's (at King James Bible Dictionary), the word “chasten” means “to correct by punishment.” Source: King James Bible Dictionary - Reference List - Chasten This makes sense, because if one sees their...

It’s hard for many to break the strongholds that have been built up in their mind. In Calvinism: Some have claimed that they believe in a Calvinistic god even before they heard of Calvinistic teachings. But I don’t think this is really many people. Most believe in Calvinism because they heard...

Even the context of the next chapter says to work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

But Philippians 1:6 needs to balanced with reading and believing other verses. 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...

And so you just ignore Matthew 23:37 in order to make your wrong interpretation work? Dead spiritually by our sins does not mean inability to choose Christ under His drawing. Parallels or analogies are not exact 100%. For example: Jesus says He is a door (John 10:9), but does that mean...

Scripture has to be read with reading other Scripture. Jesus said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.” (Matthew...

Again, being by nature a children of wrath (Which is true) does not mean Inability to choose Jesus Christ. We are saved by God’s grace but it is THROUGH faith. Jesus marveled at the Centurion’s faith. This would be silly if it was God the Father who gave the Centurion his faith whereby Jesus...

Nowhere does Ephesians 2 say that the human will is so corrupted that they cannot choose Jesus under His drawing (See: John 12:32). That is something Ephesians 2 does not say (nor any other piece of Scripture). You are reading into the text something that is not there. You are also not...

John 6:45 says, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” In other words: Every man (the Jew) who has HEARD (listened to God through obeying God's commands) and has learned of the...

First you have not offered any kind of well thought out rebuttal with Scripture. You just make smirk remarks (i.e. scorning or scoffing) alone as if that proves you are somehow correct. Second, the Bible is not always easy to understand in every case. If you have studied the Bible for any...

I will add this to my previous post to you that you may not read. Jesus says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.” (John 8:51). In other words, Christians look at the whole counsel of God’s Word and not those verses they want to see from their...

Jesus says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24). Lets highlight the verse to see what’s going on. "Verily, verily, I say unto...

Your eyes glaze over because you are resistant to the truth of what God’s Word really says. While many today can read their Bibles (and sometimes do so often and or many times), they don’t actually BELIEVE their bibles fully or entirely because they have allowed Protestant sayings or Theology...
