Again, we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2). Apart from faith in man there is no salvation. I do believe that man makes a decision as to whether he will respond to the gospel in faith (implied in Hebrews 4:2).

The Son shall have the name of "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6).

So, I am guessing that your position is that the Bible is not the word of God? yes or no. Of course it is His righteousness. Still, not impractical. You have just denied the premise of the reformation...which is founded in such scriptures as Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and...

@jaybird, No response? Are you certain that you are not running away from the discussion?

You think that spiritual birth and physical birth have to be exactly the same?

Of course faith in Jesus Christ is the only means by which a man can be made free from sin (John 8:31-36) and enter into righteousness...a righteousness which is practical in nature (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6, 1 John 3:17-18). But God will not give to anyone that righteousness...

The word of God is the sword of the Spirit (Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17). So, if Jesus is the sword, then He is the word....and therefore placing the word in high regard is to place Him in high regard and is not idolatry at all since Jesus is the word. No, He is not the author of confusion...

Not really, if the condition is faith. To a certain extent, faith and works are mutually exclusive in the Bible (Ephesians 2:8-9).

I know that I do not place the Bible before Christ; any more than a warrior places his sword before his King. in terms of loyalty. As was the case of Reepicheep in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I will gladly lay down my sword in order that I might enter into the realm of Aslan. But also, in...

Nope. The Bible is not a graven image. The scriptures are they which testify of Him; but you are unwilling to come to Him that you might have life (John 5:39-40). Right. And that means that His words will abide in you (John 15:7). Sometimes God's people are compelled to boast, because...

It is a gnostic teaching (even the primary teaching of gnosticism) that matter is evil and only what is spirit is good.

Even a broken clock is right two times a day.

We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2); and God gives us a choice as to whether we will have faith or unbelief whenever we hear the gospel message. For example, see Joshua 24:15, John 1:12, Revelation 3:20, and Revelation 22:17.

And, you can think that you are born again; but if you are a worker (doer) of iniquity, you will go to hell like a bullet when you die (Matthew 13:41-42; Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41). What defines the born again person but the fact that he has turned away from his sins? I don't think that...

Of course, some are not born again, who think that they are. The test is found in 1 John 3:9. It is profitable for doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16). For example, an excellent joke about playing Bible roulette can be made using the verse in question. A man said to God, I am so depressed, what...

How do you figure?

Not all of mankind...just Jesus Christ; who is the only begotten Son of God. He is...for He came only in the likeness of sinful flesh (His flesh was truly without sin)...but I fail to see your point. How does the fact that Jesus Himself is 100% Man and 100% God make that true of all mankind?

@Blood Bought 1953, Tell me please, is the following part of a FALSE and PERVERTED gospel? Bear fruits worthy of repentance... for the axe is laid to the root of the trees.

@Blood Bought 1953. So, you believe that if a man does not repent, he can still be saved? What do you make of the following scriptures? Mat 7:23, And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mat 25:41, Then shall he say also unto them on the...

God truly signed His name to all of scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16. Did you read it? 2Ti 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17, That the man of God may be perfect, throughly...
