You also have to ask yourself: Why is Paul speaking in the way that he is in Romans 4? What is one of the major points that underlines his speech or his words here? I believe Paul was fighting against the heresy of what I call, “Circumcision Salvationism” (Which is Law ALONE Salvationism...

First, before I begin, you need to understand that I believe the Bible teaches that there are two aspects of salvation. #1. Believers are saved by God’s grace without works (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 4:3-5) (Romans 11:6) (Titus 3:5). This is believing the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4...

The gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. But there is a call of the gospel mentioned in Scripture that most Christians are ignorant of. It’s 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14. It tell us this call of the gospel is that God has chosen you to salvation through Sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the...

The Bible teaches only past sins are forgiven us (not future sins). Believers need to confess and forsake sin to continue to obtain forgiveness (or salvation). Here are the verses in the Bible that teach or imply that past sins only are forgiven: 2 Peter 1:9 KJB “But he that lacketh these...

Yes, there is a robe of righteousness, but that only applies to a believer who exercises the right kind of faith (faith and faithfulness). God’s grace is not a license for immortality (Jude 1:4). For one can also soil their garment and have their name blotted out of the book of life...

Sorry. Grace does not give believers some kind of diplomatic immunity towards sin (i.e. Meaning: Your future sin is not forgiven you). Only past sins are cleansed. If new sin is accrued, then one needs to confess and forsake sin in order to have continued mercy or salvation (Proverbs 28:13)...

Many today falsely teach a form of Justification (Being saved by God’s grace by believing in Jesus as their Savior or the finished work of the cross) in that they believe that this is total removal of the penalty of sin (in regards to even future sin) once for all (Whereby they never need to...

God seemed impressed with Job. “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?” (Job 1:8). As for spiritual pride: Well, disagreeing with the words of Jesus...

Thank you. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you greatly.

Look. If I showed you my faith by my works, this means works is a part of my faith. This is why Paul says there is a work of faith in his writings (1 Thessalonians 1:3) (2 Thessalonians 1:11). Also, the same word justified is used for both faith and works in James 2:24. Of course you ignored...

@mailmandan As for your claim that the children of the kingdom being cast into outer darkness in Matthew 8:12 is in reference to unsaved people only: The Bible says: “….the good seed are the children of the kingdom;” (Matthew 13:38). So this means that they were good seed at one point in...

No. That’s not the point Jesus was making. No such words exist in Matthew 7 that defends this false belief of yours. Jesus said we will know false prophets by their fruit in the same chapter. They did wonderful works, but they also justified sin was the lesson of what we should not do in...

I agree 100% fully with the Tax Collector crying unto God for mercy over his past life of sin and admitting in that moment he was a sinner (Note: This would not be a future declaration that he was to remain as a continuous sinner at times as you falsely teach based on a faulty interpretation on...

Meat is not an inaccurate rendering. It is simply an archaic word that meant food in general. Source: King James Bible Dictionary - Reference List - Meat The Israelites were also given quail because they demanded meat (and were displeased with just eating manna). Again, 1 Corinthians 10:4...

I agree that Abraham was justified by works by offering Isaac, and no man (besides his own son) was present to witness his work of offering Isaac but God alone. The lesson of the story is that God was ultimately pleased by such a sacrifice and it was not Isaac or another person who was edified...

You underlined the part in Hebrews 10:39 to show that these are not true believers (because they do not beleive), but the verse does not say that those who drew back never believed to begin with. Hebrews 10:39 is merely saying that they did not have a continuous belief to the saving of the soul...

Not sure how you're bringing up what you mentioned here has anything to do with what I said in regards 1 John 1:7. 1 John 1:7 says: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” It’s...

Bonus Point: 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 Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 1:21). "...be thou faithful...

IV. Obeying God's Commands as a Part of Eternal Life Verses: Matthew 19:17-19 17 “...if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19...

#15. “And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” (John 5:29). #16. ”And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and...
