I interpret Scripture by Scripture. God blots people who sin against Him out of His book Exodus 32:32-33, Psalms 69:28, Revelation 3:1-5. God removes peoples' measures of faith Matthew 25:26. God rescinds saving mercy--a reversal/removal of what saving faith obtained Matthew 18. God forgets...

This was actually the only good point you've ever made. LOL

Sir, "works of the Law" include "internal works"--eg, the greatest Law is "love God". Where is the love? Is it a physical object? Isn't it internal and invisible? "Do not covet" is to govern your thoughts and spirit, your desires, which are internal not external. Et cetera. Example of Paul...

He says "I never knew you" because He is denying them because they denied Him--they're being blotted out of God's Book because they sinned against God Exodus 32:32-33, Revelation 3:1-5. Their righteousness ("faith is counted as righteousness") is being forgotten. Matthew 25:26 shows that the...

I suppose that, other than the fact that we aren't explicitly told Judas did miracles (he may have been sent out to do them but we don't really know if he did them), that would be a good answer for now. Wrong. "Trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity" means "thinks that just...

Isn't defining "faith" as a "work", no matter the intention, going to complicate things (ie, since Paul goes to great lengths, time and again, to draw a distinction between them)?

Once Saved Always Saved

They don't understand the reason why He says "I never knew you" or why John says "they were never of us". Once Saved Always Saved

Scripture called you a fool--I just have faith. See ya.

Anyone who reads these interactions will get a good laugh. You refuse to humble yourself, fool.

The entire Epistle is Paul militating against the false Gospel of serving by the flesh/the Law; what, he wants from them instead is to walk by "faith which works through love", "serve through love".

Why were they able to cast demons out? The seven sons of Sceva, who weren't believers, weren't. What made these men able to use the Name of Jesus? They were believers. Ezekiel says "if a righteous person turns from his righteousness... his righteousness will not be remembered"--hence statements...

If that is the case then why did Paul have to correct the Corinthian Christians for sinning? Didn't they have faith? Why didn't they show it by their works? Why did James accuse the believers of unfaithfulness to God? He affirms they're married to God (they have faith) but says they're...

Trusting God is the whole point of Christianity, and I'd want nothing else for you along those lines. No one here takes issue with your trust in God, only with the arguments you use to arrive at that trust--you're having to disregard so much truth in Scripture. Like I've said, I think many would...

1. Some. want to assert "not justified by works of law--just believe" is his argument. It's not. He says "not justified by works of law--do what you are convicted by love to do, serve". 2. He says "you began by the Spirit" but he doesn't mean "you're not involved", just to clarify, just...

"If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame." You're so excited about coming on here and making noise you don't even know what you're responding to. Go back, actually read the conversation, then come tell me where you went wrong, otherwise this is my last reply to you on...

He contrasts two methods (one legitimate, one not) whereby people may seek perfection. He doesn't say "not by works of law, therefore just believe"--that's not his argument.

Guy, you haven't gotten a single thing correct and you're boasting about being a mature meat eater? Absolutely baffling. Are you on psychotropics?

1. I believe I've already informed you on how that verse ("grace superabounded") was introduced, its proper context and use--how you're misusing it--and you're undeterred. 2. Nope. Galatians isn't about people caught up in sin. Pray before you read Scripture if you want to understand it ...

It depends on their attitude toward the sin. I knew someone who considered porn viewing as kind of a normative sin and it just kept on going on year after year. Is that "besetting"? Are they really sorry? If they're sorry, that's different, and if they strive against it and hate it then all...
