1. Yeah, Christians sin, which means your argument is disproven. 2. Yeah, and people can be "unborn" of God too Deuteronomy 32:5--"because his seed remains in him" but we know that people can lose that seed by reason of sin hardening their heart so that they can change to unbelieving Hebrews...

Anyway, the issue of "bringing condemnation on himself by what he approves" isn't even the issue--I'm talking about Romans 14:23. Romans 14:23 lays down a general principle "anything that not from faith is sin and you are condemned if you sin". You don't like that Scripture, apparently.

Romans 14:23 says sins committed today compromise your justification--the original point stands. The rule is "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind", and if you don't follow that rule, you're sinning, and you bring condemnation on yourself which is the opposite of justification. I...

It says "...because in God’s merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished" Romans 3:25--"previously committed" doesn't cover how you live now which is precisely the point of Romans 14:23 and 1 Corinthians 10. Your sin-debt having been paid results in "justification"...

@Eternally Grateful I think the Scriptures are clearly on my side--but I also think it's easy to become fearful, but it is not really what God wants (there're multitudes of Scriptures that prove this).

What is a sin? An offense God. Who judges when you sin against God? God. When it says "condemns himself" it means "brings condemnation on himself"--because, in the scenario, the man is "destroying the work of God" Romans 14:20 by being a "stumbling block" Romans 14:21 to his brother (and Luke...

1. So, you agree that the saved-by-faith-alone Christians still had an upcoming salvation they had to partake of? 2. As I mentioned, the context is that there will be false prophets (people claiming to speak for God--according to Mt 7 they work powerful signs and wonders), and because they are...

@Eternally Grateful If we say we haven't sinned, we are making God out to be a liar, and His Word does not abide in us. 1 John 1:10.

Here you imply that you sin: Here you are explicit that you sin. Conclusions: 1. You do sin. 2. Your interpretation of 1 John is erroneous.

It warns about deception from people claiming to speak on God's behalf, and then it warns of the sinfulness, and resulting hatred, that will result from the sin, and then it says "but those who endure until the end will be saved", and you seriously want me to believe this is about physical...

@Eternally Grateful Does Romans 14:23 not reach justification is affected by sin? Why does it say sin results in condemnation? Isn't it true that this is the uniform teaching of Scripture--sin affects your standing before God?

So, yep, there is a future salvation. Reread 1 Corinthians, it says they were condemned bexause of their evil works. The reason he brings it up is because the Church needed to repent. 2 Corinthians shows it yielded the intended effect. Sorry, that's not 1 Corinthians 10's argument;it argues...

1. No, that's incorrect about the context of Mt 24--the verses immediately prior warn of false prophets misleading many and that as a result of their misleading the love of many will grow cold. That's talking about enduring in faith and righteousness in order to be saved from God's wrath on the...

1. Christ says "the one who endures to the end will be saved" so there are no disciples who are not awaiting a future salvation. "Had you understood" that our "salvation" "by the blood of the Lamb" was comparable to the salvation of the Jews from Egyptian slavery but that afterward they still...

1. I thought you were just rejecting it, so I was prepared to accept that. lol 2. To be clear, it is not my view that the word "water" can only ever refer to a spiritual reality, only that it seems to here, because Jesus is countering Nicodemus's misunderstanding of what "born again" meant ("Not...

Well "Spirit and fire" has a preposition.

Johannine Comma doesn't include 1 John 5:6 it's 7-8.

That was the current NA.

I leave it up to the readers to decide for themselves who they will believe based on our discussion thanks.

So it's wrong for them to translate "he" (1 Jn 5:6) as "the"?
