You don't understand the issue. Again and again: eternal life is "in His Son", and by "remaining in Christ" you are continuously supplied His Spirit, but "remaining in Christ" requires "obeying Christ", and that is on two fronts: 1) believe in Christ, and 2) love one another. Since the Ro 14:23...

1. The Word cannot lose anyone who keeps the Word--correct--but many do not keep His Word, but fail to abide in Him (1 Jn 2:28), and, so, that promise doesn't apply to them. 2. You don't need to deny Christ with your mouth, you can do that with your works. Titus 1 16They profess to know God...

1. Actually, it DOES have to do with salvation in Christ. You don't understand how it does, but that doesn't mean it doesn't. Remaining in Christ requires faith in Christ and walking in faith/love (1 Jn 3:23,24). "Faith works by love" (Gal 5:6). The individual "condemned", here, has "sinned" by...

Since you like passages about "foundations" 1 Timothy 6 18They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,19thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

Yep, this refers to people who are doing work for God, but I see that you didn't even bother answering 1 Co 10 LOL because you know you can't. You also fail to understand that people can lose their foundation--eg, with the Galatians, who were "deserting God Who called you in the grace of...

What you don't accept, or understand, because of your anti-Scriptural man made tradition, is that "there is no sin in Him", so "there is no condemnation for those in Christ", but, ipso facto, this "no condemnation" doesn't apply for believers who do not "remain in Him" (1 Jn 2:28), because of...

You plainly reject Scripture, which says you are "condemned" (Ro 14:23). You do not accept Scripture because it threatens your man made tradition.

Firstly, you forgot the context of the Pauline statement was the prohibition against immorality--he is warning that if they choose to live in immorality, the God Who is supplying His Spirit will be upset, and will not continue supplying them His Spirit. Same as John says: 1 John 3 23This is...

Our "salvation" is like the Jews' "salvation" from Egypt--yet, after, they sinned. so they fell under God's wrath, anyway, and they forfeited the promise God made to them. 1 Corinthians 9 26Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air...

1. No, that's not the question. Many say "faith alone", then, to uphold that in the face of the obvious reality you must do good works, they say "good works automatically flow from faith". That is what I reject, based on the aforementioned Scripture. 2. No, believers are not "sin-less" before...

"God works in you", therefore "obey" (Php 2:12,13). If that were not the case, Christians could never sin. "Good works automatically happen for a saved person" isn't in Scripture. It's a myth the "faith alone" crowd need to shoehorn in to uphold "faith alone".

Everyone knows the difference between the Old and New Covenants, and how "this He spoke of the Spirit which had not yet been given because He had not yet been glorified"--and, yet, God is "the same yesterday, today, and forever", and Paul cited those very same "OC" Scriptures to teach Christians...

As Paul says, those things were written for OUR instruction (1 Co 10). Only those who abide are supplied with Spirit. Only those who obey abide. This is all in 1 Jn 3. 1 Jn 2:28 warns the little children to remain, and 1 Jn 5:21 tells us what draws them away :idolatry. When people don't...

When God is at work in you, and you walk accordingly, you walk in God's righteousness (Ro 1:16; Php 2:12,13). God is righteous, not "desperately wicked". If you walk in doubt, you sin and are condemned (Ro 14:5,23).

Edit: That prophecy seems to be about the Bride of Christ, the Church, which is comprised of both Jew and Gentile (Rev 21:9+).

Actually, it was the Jews who did that--they cause the Name of God to be blasphemed among the nations by their unrighteousness (Ro 2). They are "displeasing to God and hostile to all men" (1 Th 2:15), just as their Talmud reveals how they detest non-Jews: The Tanya Ch 1 - Likutei Amarim The...

New Creation = New Sabbath

Paul said Gentile believers, who did not know the Law, qualified as "doers of the Law" (Romans 2:14, 15, 26, 27). How did that happen if God expects Christians to serve Him by the Law?

How does answer any of the statements I made? 1. David asked for God not to remove His Spirit, Paul warns that God will remove His Spirit from the immoral, John says only those who abide in Christ, by obeying His command, the twofold Law of Faith (1. Believe in the Name of God's Son, and 2...

Well, I knew God, too, but was still terrified by the Scriptures. I had/have a background that fosters that sort of perception. And if I'm to say "I believe God--by believing God's Word", but, then, I listen to men's encouragements, "it's OK", but they don't really believe Scripture, because...
