Nope, if that were true Christians wouldn't sin.

You don't like Biblical truth and now we see you don't iike logic either.

You've never had an answer, and you don't have one now. The only way you will have an answer is if you humble yourself and admit your error. I can't believe the impossible position you put yourself in by adopting such an ignorant view as OSAS, Faith Alone, and these other Johnny-Come-Lately...

It's not slander when someone shows you what you unknowingly are saying.

This is not a straw man, it is an allegation of deception. How did I misrepresent your view? That's precisely what you believe when you say that what Paul characterizes in 1 Co 10 is fine if it described a Christian's life--you said it's not an issue of eternal life repaid only to the righteous...

I gotta give the glory to God, because I got all of it through prayer. I was tormented for over a decade trying to reconcile all of the seemingly irreconcilable concepts, and I only got answers when I received the grace of prayer from other Christians.

Well, in the conversations I have, it isn't pivotal, since they'll just argue that "yeah we do fulfill Christ's Law, because we're saved--we don't do it to become saved", so you have to find another point to argue.

So, the logical conclusion of your eisegesis (ie, your desire to define away "prize" as not having to do with eternal life--whereas "eternal life" is referred to as a "crown of life") is that it would be perfectly fine if a Christian were to be a slave to their bodily passions, instead of making...

Even though I agree, I don't usually treat "law of christ" explicitly, because, to my mind, it's implicitly included in everything else I address (eg, walk by faith, walk by the spirit, love one another, not under Law but under Grace, etc), but, yes, I agree.

Answer 1 Co 9:26-1 Co 10.

You don't understand salvation by grace through faith includes walking by faith--God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith (Ro 1:16, 17)--if it didn't, the believer who failed to walk by faith wouldn't be condemned for sinning (Ro 14:5,23). Your perspective has no way of accounting for...

Answer to 1 Co 9:26-1 Co 10, I did not raise Jude here.

@mailmandan @Big Boy Johnson @Ritajanice @Rella This is my understanding: Christ says we abide in Him if we keep the "Law of Faith" (Ro 3:27), and if we abide in Him, He supplies us with the Spirit (1 Jn 3:23,24), because the eternal life is in His Son (1 Jn 5:11), but the *singular* Law of...

It's good that you go to a Church that believes PART of the Bible, but we're trying to believe the WHOLE thing. We believe in salvation by grace through faith, we ALSO believe the rest of the Bible, not just one teaching in the Bible.

For the benefit of the readers, so they don't get "misled" by historical Christianity, go ahead and show everyone how I am wrong on 1 Co 9:26-1 Co 10, don't just make an empty claim, lying about how you've provided a sufficient response to the truth of Scripture. Your Johnny Come Lately belief...

@mailmandan @Rella @Ritajanice Dan, you never had an answer on Christian Chat, and you won't have one now. Yes, we're "saved", and that "Salvation" is as the Jews' from Egypt--still, they fell under God's wrath for sinning after being saved, and forfeited the Promise. Paul said this in 1 Co...

Yup, this is just as Paul says, "If we live by the Spirit let us also walk by the Spirit": James is saying, "Listen, you adulteresses (you who are married to God through faith, but who are friends with the world, who are then provoking God to jealousy with your idolatry, just as the Israelites...

To your point, I like v7 1 John 1 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. This is all in the ongoing present-tense--we need to walk in the light, we need to have fellowship with Him (this...

I absolutely agree with this, but I wanted to understand Christianity--it's parameters, the dangers, the terms and conditions, and I never could get a straight answer. I have received the grace of prayer from other Christians, and prayed, and received the answer.

This is a YouTube reply I made, and it encompasses this topic, so I want to add it here : Christ says we abide in Him if we keep the "Law of Faith" (Ro 3:27), and if we abide in Him, He supplies us with the Spirit (1 Jn 3:23,24), because the eternal life is in His Son (1 Jn 5:11), but the...
