I see you have posted some Catholic stuff here--which to me is irrelevant.

All right. Yeah, I don't see that. That was the Spirit being poured out on all flesh--as Christ said "the one who believes out of his belly will flow rivers of living water (this He spoke of the Spirit)" so they had rivers of living water flowing from their inner beings. Paul is referring to...

God's perspective is His Word which is what I cite for my beliefs not logic and philosophy like you are doing "God is outside time, blah blah blah".

Did Jesus lie when He said there are branches that issue from the Vine which fail to abide and so are eventually thrown in the fire? You just like one verse but not the other?

Since you chose not to address what was written here it is again.

Actually, the "then" is that your definition for "saved" is incorrect.

Romans 8:3 We who walk after the Spirit fulfill the righteous requirement of the Law.

Ahh... good... but you disagreed that the sin could compromise your justification which is taught in Romans 14:23. Eternal life is in the Son--remain in the Son and retain the Life, but He also warns the branches that don't abide in the Vine are thrown in the fire. Just following the Bible...

1. Yes, we do have eternal life--since there are Scriptures that teach "eternal life is a harvest" and a "repayment for good deeds", clearly, and we can't have Scripture contradicting Scripture, we have to find a way to reconcile these. Now, Peter speaks of being "fruitful in the knowledge of...

So in your world "God said" Jesus keeps people who don't keep His Word. Interesting "take".

Yes, the Word keeps those who keep the Word (eg, Revelation 3:10)--those who keep Christ's Word will be kept by Christ, but the branches that fall away will be thrown in the fire. Easy! So, again, the life is in the Son, so we are warned to remain in the Son, or else we won't have the life. If...

1. Again, 1 Corinthians shows the Church sins a lot. James also says "we all err in many ways". Therefore, the idea that "if we have faith we will automatically only do good because we can't sin" is a false way of reading 1 John. History reproves your misreading. Your own life reproves your...

I don't want to get into it here but I would have to follow Deuteronomy 32:5 and say we can be "unborn".

LOL So why did the disciples have tongues on fire on Pentecost when they were baptized in the Spirit?

1. Clearly it is not the case that "being a Christian automatically means you do good deeds" when we read 1 Corinthians 5 where one of them had his father's wife and the rest of the Church was boasting about his sin. 2. So, then, you agree that eternal life is a harvest that is going to be...

I haven't seen a contradiction in my interpretations only you have claimed you have seen contradictions but you have yet to prove there are.

Correction : 1 John not only says "Spirit of Truth" but even "the Spirit is the Truth". Thanks.

So, again, "He will baptize with Spirit and fire" refers to just one baptism--just because "and" is there doesn't mean "Spirit and fire" refers to "two".

So, yes, we are born of the Word of God, according to Peter, and, yes, "My Word is Spirit", so they are tightly bound together, and Jesus says "I am the Truth" and 1 John says "the Spirit is the Truth". You have disproven precisely nothing of what I've asserted.

"Obey for it is God at work"--you are told to obey even though it's God at work. Go figure.
