Most Christians do not realize that they must put on the whole armor of God to be able to overcome the devil’s schemes according to Ephesians 6. Read Ephesians 6 several times in prayer. Really focus on what on each of the pieces of armor does for your life and how that protects us from the...

To all: Another point I wanted to add that many ignore is this. While God does do the good work through the believer (Philippians 2:13) (John 15:5), we also have to realize that Paul says to Timothy three times using the word “I” as in reference to himself in regards to the faith. 2 Timothy...

@Charlie24 I would encourage you to watch this video. This pastor talks about Romans 6.

Where did I ever say at any point in my writings that we as believers are to use our power alone to obey God and or gain victory over sin? I didn’t and therefore that was a false assumption or accusation on your part. I believe 100% in that God does the good work through the believer...

No. That is not correct, dear sir. Romans 6:19 says, “I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.”...

For example: How do you explain away Romans 8:13?

I understand grace just fine. Your understanding only comes from Protestantism (Which serves your own interests in the fact that you can sin and still be saved). But God’s grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live righteously and godly in this present world (Titus 2:11-12)...

No. Romans 14 is in regards to the kind of foods one can eat, and or what type of day of worship they are to observe. In other words, Romans 14 is dealing with the matters of how one views the Old Law. In other words, there is a liberty when it comes to the Old Law as long as we don’t make...

It’s not supposing anything. It’s simply connecting the dots by pure logical deduction. Paul said if you seek to be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing in Galatians 5:2. Paul said what profit is there in circumcision in Romans 3:1. Paul said in Galatians 2:3 that he did not compel...

Paul mentioned this because of the problem of Circumcision Salvationism that was invading the church. In Acts of the Apostles 15:1 it says that that there were certain men (Jews) who were trying to deceive Gentile Christians that they had to first be circumcised in order to be initially saved...

Are you aware that false doctrine can be a salvation issue? For example: 2 Timothy 2:17-18 says: “And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.”

Care to give an example.

Not at all. Salvation is initially and foundationally by God’s grace through faith without works (Ephesians 2:8-9), and then one enters the secondary aspect of salvation called Sanctification of the Spirit to live a holy life (2 Thessalonians 2:13) (Romans 8:13). That’s salvation. The...

The opposite can be said of your belief. Carry on with your sin and still be saved type belief. Try being fruitless like the Revelation 3 churches and see where that gets you. I know it will not help you. Just read Revelation 3. Does not sound like works are not necessary as a part of...

Care to give an example of some unintentional sins? Note: Some could say that they did not set out to lie today, but they lied when they were forced into a situation where they might lose their family member or their job. Yet, Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the Lake of...

The same word “justified” is used for both faith and works in James 2:24. Are you saying there is a faith that does not save or justify? Anyways, the real problem I have with your belief is that it is no different than Satanism. You can live like the devil (1 John 3:8), and also enter the...

This is where we disagree. Unintentional sin will not be forgiven. Believers must root out all sins that the Bible talks about that is tied with hellfire or condemnation. This would be murder, theft, hate, etcetera. There is no clause of exception of forgiveness for murder or rape if you...

I agree.

And James 2:24 says that we are justified by works and not by faith alone. So you are misreading 1 Corinthians 3 to your own destruction. For the only place in the Bible that says faith alone shows that it is not by faith alone.
