It really is; because I do make it out to be (that). It should be clear that God is the One who condemns them for their sin; and that He "wrote about this condemnation long ago"... So, God somehow knew that they would commit these sins deserving of condemnation and who they were who would...

I definitely was not judging your salvation, milady... You know better than I do whether or not you are born again of the Holy Spirit. I am merely saying that, if you are not born again, you and God know whether you are; and also, you yourself may not know. You may think that His Spirit bears...

Coveting is the heart issue at the heart of stealing. You probably cannot steal without coveting first the thing that you stole. God is saying by this, that sin is an issue of the heart; just like He did in the Sermon on the Mount. What you do outwardly matters; but the inward motivation also...

Those who do what is righteous (1 John 3:7). They are made righteous (Romans 5:19) because of faith (Romans 1:17) from beginning to end. They do righteousness because they are righteous.

And, it is not necessarily something that you have any control over....so it might be classified as a non-willful sin. However, as the Holy Spirit does the work of sanctification within you, those type of things do melt away in God's timing.

If you left-click and drag your mouse over a text, you will then be able to add that text to multi-quote; and you can do this multiple times. I hope for your sake that you are born again... Because preaching the law has its purpose as a schoolmaster to lead you to Christ (Galatians 3:24...

Rev 22:19, And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. That basically means that they were foreordained to this condemnation. Of...

Coveting might lead to stealing; and Jesus brings the law down to the nitty-gritty of what is in the heart; so that He can deal with our sins at their root. He does this more extensively in the Sermon on the Mount; but He also does it in the original ten commandments. Commandment 10 (thou...

While righteous deeds do not determine a person to be righteous, if a man is righteous, he will begin to do righteous deeds; and therefore from man's perspective, who looks on the outward appearance, we can look at a person and say that if they do what is righteous, it is because they are...

You would distort when I am teaching what is on one side of the coin with what I teach about what is on the other side of the coin. So that heads is tails and tails is heads. Don't do that. The reality is that "Lucky Repentance" as you call it, is a biblical doctrine (Galatians 5:19-21...

If, from the perspective of eternity, a sports team is undefeated, then it cannot be defeated. If it ever were defeated, then it may have been undefeated from the perspective of time (only for a season); but it was never undefeated from the perspective of eternity. The moment a sports team is...

Someone who is in the infancy of their faith will be someone that does righteousness as a general rule. It is not talking about whether they have a record of righteous works but a pattern of behaviour that the righteous person will have. And I would have to disagree with you; and say that 1...

God foreordained (according to foreknowledge) unto condemnation those who would preach grace as a license for immorality (Jude 1:3-4, NIV).

I disagree with you...I believe that Matthew 5:17-20 contradicts your point of view. Not necessarily. It may be that certain manuscripts thought that there was a transcription error and removed part B of Romans 8:1 out of holy scripture. Most assuredly, Romans 8:12-13 substantiates the...

Now, it is saying that if you are not a doer of righteousness, that indicates that you are not righteous.

I agree. We are "made righteous" (Romans 5:19) by faith from beginning to end (Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:1-3, Colossians 2:6).

Being pickled means that your entire nature is changed...a pickle used to be a cucumber and in some sense it is still a cucumber that has been inundated with the nature of vinegar. Galatians 3:27 uses the terminology of "pickled". I can agree with that...however I would also teach that if...

I have always taught that water doesn't have any magical properties to save; but that in going under the water, it is the only accurate representation of being buried and risen with Christ. And therefore, while water doesn't save; being baptized does save; in that it is an identification with...

It is actually a work of the Holy Spirit; not us. Though we cooperate with that work by walking in the light as He is in the light.

Is it adding to the blood of Christ to teach that it does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9)...but that it also sanctifies / makes holy (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7)? Also, will the blood, when it is truly applied, fail to perform all of its...
