Nope: 1. The Gentile believers didn't know the Law but were "doers of the Law", destroying your entire thesis 2. The Law contains concessions which are not reflective of Gods will.

If you're disagreeing with something I've said, please quote it, and show me how it is wrong in context.

OK please don't "share" here. You can make your own thread if you just want to "share". If you're not engaging with material, agreeing or disagreeing, you're not part of the discussion, so please do not "share". You, in particular, are notorious for that--you are an admitted "anarchist", so your...

I would prefer if you would quote something I've stated, and reply to it, so I know exactly what you are objecting to. I never denied we are to bear fruit, so this is not an objection. The thing I'm saying is we abide (1 Jn 2:28, 3:23,24) and continue being supplied with the Spirit which is...

I agree. Are you agreeing or disagreeing?

Adam didn't earn anything, but lost it--and he lost it through idolatry, the same thing that draws "little children" from abiding in Christ today (1 Jn 2:28, 5:21). This idea that "because something is a gift, you can't lose it" has neither logical nor Scriptural foundations. People lose gifts...

You gotta double check the Greek: it doesn't say "whoever comes to Me", as if it refers to a single instance of it, but whoever IS COMING TO ME, which bespeaks the "abiding" requisite. Those who belong to the Father, whom He sends to Jesus, are those who are "of the truth" (Jn 18). Which...

Thank you. It's a reasonable request. I really want to move the discussion forward; the best way is for people to quote what I've stated, and address it. If they want to disagree, show from immediate context why I've misunderstood, and only afterward furnish additional Scriptural evidence, from...

No, I don't agree. I affirm that people can be righteous, and know God, and still have error in their understanding of Scripture--and I do not say "they're going hell" just because they're mistaken and disagree with me.

As I've stated before, I've never objected to the "eternality" of the life, I've only addressed man's "eligibility" for receiving the life. "God has given us eternal life, and the life is in His Son" (1 Jn 5:11). So, to partake of the life, we must "abide in Him" where the "eternal life" is...

You failed to address the Scriptural bases for what was stated. What you did was say, "look away from what he's saying--look over here at what I'm saying!" not address the soundness of what was stated.

I've already addressed justification. We're justified by the righteousness of hearing with faith, as that reveals God's righteousness; we are also told that God will judge us on the last day, and only those who do good will be justified (Ro 2:6-16). We're also told that a believer's...

Well, the same guy who wrote that (John) gives explicit instructions on abiding--it's by obeying 1) believe in the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another. We don't have to guess.

Yup, when we believe, we're obeying one of the commands He gave for abiding in Him (the other is "love one another" by "walking in faith"--"faith works by love"), so we're supplied with the Spirit. You're only agreeing with me on that.

It's late here. Good night.

I've already responded : God can and has disowned His children, so this "born again" that you keep raising, as if no one knows about it, as if it's some novelty, solves nothing.

I'm not even saying these people don't know God just because they are "foggy" on what the Bible teaches. I don't think God waits for people to have perfect doctrine before they can know God. I would argue that they DO know God, but that doesn't mean they're right about Scripture--they don't...

Go away. I do not care what you believe if it's not the topic.

You don't need to wonder, or pray for "God" to reveal some deep secret about why I don't want you FLOODING my thread. I have explained to you in DETAIL already. Go make your own thread about the topics you want to FLOOD my discussion with.

Please finally DO IT! GO AWAY. Quit FLOODING my thread! Go open your own thread and ramble over there!
