There are two seemingly contradictory passages on this. One is a parable where the people who worked from the 11th hour are paid the same as those who worked from the beginning of the day. The other is the situation in 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 where we find that we are building a building on the...

Did God become a Man and live a life on this earth, and then die on the Cross for our sins; or did 1/3 of God do that? or, did a 2nd God do that?

Somehow you have to factor Romans 11:20-22 into this. Otherwise you are denying holy scripture. We are saved by grace, this is true; but we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2). And therefore, if we cease to have faith, we cease to have access to grace. And...

In taking on a human form it became possible for God's Spirit to be separated from His body (which is physical death).

And again, the point in quoting Romans 7:18 is that we are our flesh...not that we don't have the victory in Christ. Romans 3:10-18 is what the law says to those who are under it (Romans 3:19). In Romans 6:14, we find that born again believers are not under the law. Also, in Romans 3:9, we...

It truly is... But then again, Jesus did say, "I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves..."

Sometimes I bring my old threads to the forefront. No, I was not searching through all the threads and come upon this one after reading many... I simply thought of this thread because it has pertinence to something that has been recently discussed. I did a search on certain words that I knew...

If someone commits a willful sin, it is because they are not saved. Haven't we established that? So there would be no "true conversion" that can be damaged. Okay, so that means that I can go ahead and commit the sin that the devil is tempting me to commit in this present moment...because it...

So that would indicate that if you sin in the future you are not a Christian. So then, as an unbeliever, can you not be forgiven of your past sins? Even though you thought you were a Christian and the sins that you committed were future to what you thought was a conversion? Keeping in mind...

See post #236 (Once Saved Always Saved).

If someone believes that they are a Christian but commits murder in the future, I believe that indicates they were never a believer. But does the fact that they became a Christian and then committed future sins mean that they cannot be forgiven of their future sins once they are past?

If someone has unbelief but turns from that unbelief and begins to have faith, does their former unbelief exclude them from the kingdom?

If someone confesses murder and then gives their heart to Christ, can they be redeemed so that they are not a murderer anymore and therefore are forgiven?

Can you reiterate that please? It is unclear to me what you are saying.

I didn't say that I wholeheartedly agreed with that doctrine; only that it is considered to be sound doctrine in many Christian circles. You should probably also consider Romans 6:14, Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19, Romans 7:6 as they are compared to Romans 4:15 and 1 John 3:4 (kjv); as well as...

Do you think that the specific sins mentioned here can never be forgiven?

It is not offensive to me...just boring. I prefer to make it a point that I am not dealing with you for the most part. Because your posts are so often very long, I often just skip over them. I also do this with @theefaith. I believe that the people who are looking onward can discern whether...

The reason why you are focused on what you deem heretics, is because you are the resident heretic of these forums. You see a speck in your brothers' eyes but there is a beam in your own eye. (Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:41-42). The sin that I commit five minutes from now will be in the past five...

Perfect (Hebrews 10:14)...but not sinless (1 John 1:8) You have three fingers pointing back at you (Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:41-42). And I can prove it. In denying indwelling sin, you clearly have deceived yourself and the truth is not in you (1 John 1:8)...and because you want to promote this...
