I don't think I understand your question.

Your statements imply that we do not need to apply the principles of the Sermon on the Mount to our lives; and this is a dangerous doctrine. For, according to Matthew 7:24-27, if we fail to obey these principles, our house is built on sand (I am not wrong; for the scripture substantiates my...

Yes, it should be obvious that we are all born as sinners and therefore would qualify as tares until God turns us into wheat; new creatures in Christ wherein the old has passed away and all things have become new. I do believe that this means that before we came to Christ, our hearts were...

Again, we are all sinners in that we all have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8). Each one of us ought to even adopt to ourselves the faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." (1 Timothy 1:15). We are utterly sinful, in...

Both; depending on how you define a sinner.

So, @Wrangler, you deny that Jesus is the Lord and would contend that He is a lord? I would say to you that in denying that Jesus is the Lord, you bewray yourself as not having the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:3, Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus...

The following scripture comes to mind. 1Jo 3:8, He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Oh, you don't know any Christians? Christians have everlasting life (John 5:24, John 6:47). I don't see that verse as teaching Universalism. So, I assume that you believe that we cannot mortify the deeds of the body in the power of the Holy Spirit. I think that I would have to disagree...

We are all sinners in that we all have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8, 1 Timothy 1:15). We are not sinners in that we do not have to sin if we have been born again of the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; Jude 1:24, 2...

I am utterly sinful in the flesh (Romans 7:18, 1 John 1:8, Romans 6:10-11). In fact, in my flesh I am the chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). But fortunately, the Bible teaches that I can walk consistently, not after the flesh but after the Spirit; and that in doing so the righteousness of the...

Is that all that it is? Is that all that the Bible says it is? I think that Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount as a code of conduct for those who would believe in Him...not only in the millennial period; but for all those who will ever read the Sermon on the Mount. Your teaching effectively...

Yes; but I disagree with your underlying premise that a man must be born again before he can repent. There is a midway section in which the person who is not born again is drawn to Christ; and through that drawing effect of the Holy Spirit is enabled to make a decision for Christ. This is not...

Of course the righteous were born in sin. They are made righteous (Romans 5:19) through faith in Jesus Christ.

See 1 Corinthians 1:18-29, 1 Corinthians 2:13-14.

If Jesus is the only begotten Son, then you have to accept that fact that He is going to have the name of "The everlasting Father." (Isaiah 9:6). That means that who He is on the inside, is the Father (see John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11). Yes, the only begotten Son died for mankind; and the only...

Justice is indeed served by that very thing. And that very thing is the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you don't believe in it, then you don't believe in the gospel and are therefore not saved through faith in the gospel (see also 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). (You really should read 1 Corinthians...

No, it is not incomprehensible. I will say that I understand it and that once you become able to accept it the doctrine is very simple. Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my...

By taking the just penalty for our wrongdoing upon Himself.

I believe that my post (post #89 (The Case Against the Trinity)) trumps your post.

Thing is, Jesus did not have the name of Immanuel except by application of what the name means ("God with us")...for His name is "Jesus Christ of Nazareth".
