Well, the thief on the cross stole all of his life, yet we see right before our eyes Jesus saves him! By the way, I'm not the guy who said we must do good and if not, we are condemned to hell. That was said by another. John 5:27-28 is merely a principle and is speaking about Judgment Day. To...

Romans 10 must be read in light of Jeremiah 17:9 [which is the nature of man]. Plus to confess not only means to "admit" but also to have "the same mind with Christ." To God Be The Glory

Apparently, you have misunderstood the gist of my post Doing "GOOD WORKS" are the RESULT of salvation and NEVER, NEVER the "CAUSE" of salvation. Please read my post again especially, paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 before making comments, and let me know what part you did not understand. Thank you

Addressing the OP, If "forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord" only [forgiveness means to be saved] then I say this is a very, very sad salvation indeed! Those who Do Not understand the WHOLE concept [picture] of salvation will always come up with salvation of WORKS...

Please show in the Bible where Sirach 27:28 can be found? To God Be The Glory

GM Philip, Yes we reign with Jesus but I'm not aware we have different functions within the kingdom of heaven. Perhaps you can enlighten my ignorance? Jesus NEVER acknowledged Mary as His "mother" or called her "mother" as per John 2:4. I wonder why? Is it because to be the mother of God [as...

NOT even close! The Scripture verses you've offered does not pertain to John 3:16 at all. You are in dire need of the Holy Spirit to guide you and expound all things that are spiritual. For instance, you quoted 1 Jn. 2:2 1: "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but...

Please expound John 3:16. I've always maintained that John 3:16 is the most quoted verse in the world but also the most misunderstood. To God Be The Glory

Yes I am. ALL saved people stand equal with God. There's no respecter of persons with God! NO. BECAUSE she too needed a Savior as with all saved individuals [Luke 1:46-47]: "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." A saved person like any...

Well, it's your and your church's assessment and NOTHING to do with Scripture! Mary was highly favored, in other words, God could have chosen any virgin woman to bear the Christ, as Scripture have stipulated. If I read you correctly, it seems that you are elevating Mary above Jesus? In...

Not quite. God has given us many examples of prayer in the Bible specially in the Book of Psalms. Many customers of mine have requested me to sing "Ave Maria" in funeral homes as this song is most requested by loved ones. But instead I would rather see a believer write a melody for Psalms 23...

I'm a musician and the song "Ave Maria" is one of many songs in the world that is considered well written and well composed, but alas! it should not be taken that it has any kinds of spiritual value. To God Be The Glory

Absolutely. No more no less. Mary was highly favored. She stood on the same ground with all believers, we know because God is no respecter of persons! I should hope so. I was merely echoing what Jesus uttered in Luke 7:26-28. In the sense as being the least in the kingdom of God and as...

Consider what Scripture has to say: Mary was blessed amongst women ONLY in the sense that she was chosen to give birth to the Lord Jesus [Luke 1:27-28]. Likewise, just as John the Baptist the "greater prophet" in the sense that he was blessed to announce the start of Jesus' ministry [Luke...

The above is exactly the kind of ignorance you exhibit and display concerning the things of God, yet you have the gall to blame such things on others. If the above is true as you say, "what is the purpose of the Great Commission set forth in Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15, that is, if the...

NOPE- All believers stand on the same ground! To God Be The Glory

There IS no single earthly church that is authoritative! Your church's interpretation of 1 Timothy 3:15 is false for it is God who is the pillar and ground of the truth [John 10:6] and NEVER any church! Besides, Matthew 16:18-19 does NOT stipulate that Peter is the Rock. So that there is no...

Is not Scriptural Authority and Scripture Alone connote the same meaning? WRONG!- Scripture is indeed the Sole Authority if you know where to look! Revelation 22:18-19 reads: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these...

Are you saying the Scripture verses you laid out in your post #387 above are all fakes and NOT "SOLA SCRIPTURA?" Are they not written in the Bible???!!! Well, consider the text Romans 15:4 and tell us whether it is Scripture or not! "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written...

Already in Genesis 1:1 we see that there are at least three distinct persons that created the heavens and the earth. The word "God" in verse one is the plural Hebrew word "Elohim." In Hebrew: Singular means "one." Dual means "two." Plural means at least "three or more." In the English...
