Someone who tries to "turn over a new leaf" without faith in Christ being in the picture, will fail miserably at "trying to turn over a new leaf". But repentance (away from sin) is required for salvation (Ezekiel 33:11-20, Luke 13:1-5, 2 Corinthians 7:10). So, the only way that someone can...

I'm in agreement with every word... But I would add that if anyone is truly born again, he is made into a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv))...so that he "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9). Of course salvation is not based on our behaviour... However our behaviour will be different if...

Being saved, in Romans 10:13, amounts to being saved from sin (Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14); so there is no contradiction there.

It states specifically that those who commit such sins will not inherit the kingdom of God. And the only alternative to inheriting God's kingdom is hellfire and brimstone. The passage is clear in teaching us that if we do not cease from committing the sins that are listed in the passage, we...

A "worker of iniquity" is someone who practices sin; And that is the bottom line.

Does the sabbath begin on Saturday night or on Friday night and last until sundown on Saturday?

grace and repentance cannot co-exist? You are way out in left field, my friend. You are suggesting that the grace of God will bring about a life that is devoid of holy living... At least you recognize that that is what you are...an accuser of the brethren...and therefore you have taken on...

Hi @BarnyFife... What do you make of Acts of the Apostles 20:7-12 (the story of Eutychus) in which Paul preached into the night on a Sunday? Is this not an example of how the church began to meet on the first day of the week rather than the last?

It may in fact be a paradox that, while there is going to be discrimination against Trump supporters and Christians in this time, that other types of discrimination will actually be dealt with; such as against black people and Asians. There is also the issue of Orwellian logic; where there is...

It is no lie that a man can lose his salvation; if his faith is merely lukewarm, shallow, or nominal (Luke 8:12-13). If his faith is a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14), then he cannot lose his salvation: he...

Why is it, then, that you are persecuting me while I am not persecuting you? Again, the scripture says, Gal 4:28, Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Gal 4:29, But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Here is a slew of my teaching that you can "go at"... Commentary on Romans.

You haven't done so up to this point. What are you waiting for?

It was the educated scribes and Pharisees who rejected Jesus; while the common people heard Him gladly. In the same way, most people who are educated in the Greek and Hebrew have the tendency to have unbelief as concerning the better doctrines of holy scripture. It is those who read the holy...

So, how does anyone outside the door know that they are Jesus' sheep and therefore have a right to enter through the door?

edited post #800 (Dead to the Law).

Same to you, buddy. I don't think that you have the guts to teach anything here yourself, however.

Is that what you believe after reading my posts? If so then I think that you misunderstand me. When I say that the sin nature is rendered dead, I do mean that it is rendered inept. And also, as a kind of hyperbole, Paul says in Colossians 2:11 that the "body of the sins of the flesh" is "put...
