That's really bearing good fruit... Mat 7:15, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Mat 7:17, Even so every good tree bringeth...

And it is true that Jesus, as the Son, comes from the Father. It is the Spirit of the Father who dwells in Jesus Christ. And Jesus is the Son in that He is come in the flesh.

@101G, is that answer adequate for you? @jaybird, Seems to me like you are running away from his question... Or else you would have given a more concise answer to it.

You may not think that you are; but what you are trying to teach reeks of it.

Also, please note, @marks, that we have not really interacted with each other for some time; and that therefore I may not remember any of your posts wherein you may have exalted the Old Testament as being holy scripture that we are to abide by.

It is to a certain extent. God gives us a righteousness apart from the law that is nevertheless attested to by the law and the prophets that it is righteousness indeed (Romans 3:21). Because we do not obtain this righteousness through the venue of attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts...

Which is what? That they know all things? If one of us is wrong, it doesn't make the other one also wrong.

Amen; see also Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16; Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4; 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5. So, in your estimation, rightly dividing the word of truth means discounting the Old Testament? My Bible (in the New Testament) tells me that the Old Testament is...

You need to stop teaching gnosticism on these boards.

That would be the people on the other side...:D:p:cool:

I believe that my beliefs are also rooted and scripture and that I have defended them properly. I feel that there are arguments against my belief system that, if believed, may seem to be valid and may even deter a man from having saving faith in Jesus Christ as the God who created him. It...

We can know all things in our spirit (just not with our minds)...1 John 2:20. What this means is that we will know that something is a lie when we hear it, if that thing be a lie.

I don't think that he has broken that rule. He is merely calling out a certain attitude and saying that it is the attitude of those who are still lost. Also, a person can be a "Christian" and be lost to the bone.

There is ample teaching by false teachers that will enable you to continue in unbelief as concerning the Deity of Christ if you pay attention to their teaching instead of what the Holy Ghost might be testifying to you at any given moment. It may even be "irrefutable" from your perspective. But...

Living for God is the result of salvation. So, if you don't repent of (turn away from) your sins, you can be saved? What do you make of Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41, and Matthew 13:41-42?

I have accused you? If I have then I apologize; but where and when did I accuse you (please use the quote feature)? Yes, that is what I am doing. It should be clear that the OT is profitable for doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16) If that child molester were redeemed and gone to heaven, then that...

I will only add that if anyone is born again, their life will change from walking in the direction of sin towards walking in the direction of righteousness (1 John 3:9)... Pro 4:18, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

...you need to stay in the word of the Lord. Be a Berean concerning everything that is taught you (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11). Study to shew yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Test the spirits as to whether they are...

How does God see us? He might see us as the righteousness of Him in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Or, He may see us as having a heart that is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). He doesn't see us through rose-colored glasses in this regard (Hebrews 4:13).

I responded to it in post #246.
