First of all, it is not my false conclusion that I am not preaching perverted doctrine but that @BreadOfLife, in preaching that sin is inevitable, is preaching perverted doctrine. Secondly, there are quite a few verses in the Bible that teach imputed righteousness. Most of them in Romans 4...

Calvinism vs. Arminianism

The lie is that man bears no responsibility for his sins because God created him sinful and because if he is not of the elect, he simply cannot ever receive the gift of everlasting salvation because Jesus didn't die for him. Therefore, man is not responsible for his sins because he didn't have...

@brightfame52, why do you refuse to say whether you yourself have received the gift of everlasting salvation in Christ?

It is true that Jesus Christ Himself confesses that He is come in the flesh. However, it is a logical jump to say that this means that He is only of God and not God. For Jesus Christ Himself, according to the creeds, is "God of very God."

What specific things have I said that you think contradict each other? And I will attempt to reconcile them in your mind. There are those who accuse the Bible itself of having contradictions, and there are times when they can even bring up scriptures that even seem to have legitimate...

What are the pure renderings of these verses?

It is no lie. Right. It is directed to those who are not yet born again and given as a means by which they might become born again. Though they are speaking of eternal matters; and what they teach is an integral part of the gospel; and there is definitely grace in the words in question. For...

1Pe 4:17, For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1Pe 4:18, And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

There is no need to change one scripture in order to preserve the integrity of another.

One Spirit that dwells within every angel in all of His fulness; even as it is with us. 1 Corinthians 6:17 Ephesians 3:19-20.

There is a line of reasoning that Paul takes us down from Romans 2:13 down to Romans 3:28....and by the time he finishes with that line of reasoning he has reached an opposite conclusion. Rom 2:13, (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified...

I quoted it from the kjv. Unfortunately, the Bible program for these boards stopped utilizing the kjv some time ago, I think because some moderator had a bias. Phl 2:13, For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Matthew 10:32 and Luke 12:8 both speak of...

Absolutely one. The Spirit who inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15) is the same Spirit who descended to take on an added nature of human flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7).

Rom 4:5, But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4:6, Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Rom 4:7, Saying, Blessed are they whose...

Philippians 2:13 says He works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure, you misquoted that.

It is also blasphemy to claim to be God (John 10:31-33). Elohim (plural).

Perverted doctrine would be the kind of doctrine that gives people an excuse to sin by telling them that they are going to struggle with it and that there is no deliverance. That is what you teach... I teach that we can have freedom (John 8:31-36) and victory (1 Corinthians 15:57) in Christ...

Just like Jesus, a man needs to be crucified (i.e. "die to self") before he is buried and risen. Being merely crucified does not complete your salvation. You must be buried and risen. It should be clear that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is "for the remission of sins" (Acts...

"His people" there being the Jewish people. The Gentiles were later included in the number of those who could be saved in Acts of the Apostles 10 and Ephesians 3:6. Actually, I don't agree with @Behold on a lot of things, but he is right here.
