Can't let this go by without correcting. Fundamentalism is faith with reason. It is the understanding that the Bible is the word of God and the absolute authority on all matters of faith and reason. Here is the verse that tells me that fundamentalism is reasonable. Isa 1:18, Come now, and...

My sinning, at least in this year, has been far and few between.

You have conditional life if your faith is nominal, shallow, or lukewarm. My exhortation to you is this. Phl 2:12, Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. which means...

If you read 1 Corinthians 9:21, you will see that we are all under the law to Christ as concerning obedience; for the law defines sin and we are told in the New Testament not to sin (1 Corinthians 15:34, Ephesians 4:26). But we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans...

Excellent point.

The kjv gives the same meaning as the NIV....written about long ago means the same thing as foreordained. I think also that the kjv gives the more accurate meaning of what is meant by "written about long ago" in the NIV. I think that it does in fact speak of predestination to condemnation...

Those who have everlasting life have an everlasting faith. If anyone ceases to have faith in Jesus, they cease to have Jesus and they cease to have life (1 John 5:12). Because we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2); and we are saved by grace through faith. If...

So, you are denying that the NIV is even an inspired version of the Bible. Jude 1:3-4 (NIV) Jde 1:3, Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s...

post #246. I do not see how that answers what I have posted.

You talking to me? What accusation have I made? You either deny the veracity of the NIV or else you are ignorant of what it truly says. That is not an accusation; that is a fact.

So, you are denying that the NIV is even an inspired version of the Bible. Jude 1:3-4 (NIV) Jde 1:3, Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s...

Yes, it would indicate that a genuine faith in Christ and the Father will make a person born of God according to the definition that we find in 1 John 3:9...that the Lord will make them into a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv)).

While God does in fact mark out for condemnation from long ago those who teach grace as a license for immorality, and therefore double predestination is a biblical doctrine, I don't think that God is sinful in doing so. But then, I believe that predestination is according to foreknowledge...

No; for in Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:6, we find that the law of Moses is exalted, as it is written in the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers. So, I believe that the writer of Hebrews does in fact seek to deter the reader from looking to the law for justification; however he does not...

Beats me...

What post did you address it in?

See what the Bible teaches in Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:1-3, and Colossians 2:6. "believe" is the verb for the noun "faith" and "belief" is a synonymous noun.

That is faithful to the word. Of course, there is the other side of the coin also, in verses like John 5:24 (kjv); which tell us that if we hear Jesus' word and believe on Him who sent Him, we shall not come into condemnation but have passed from death into everlasting life. Everlasting life...

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by this.

The blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins; but the blood of Jesus can. Heb 10:2, For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. This says that the blood of bulls and goats didn't have the power...
