It's not true because I believe it about myself; but because it is true.

I have every regard for my eternal life and the eternal lives of others. And also, with meds, I have not been a 51-50 for many years. But what happened to it being glory for a person to have been imprisoned for the sake of preaching the gospel? Didn't Paul even say the following... Act...

Ezekiel did. Eze 33:19, But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. You just need the power of the Holy Ghost. Have you been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins? (see Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39)...

Define non compus mentis.

51-50. I was considered to be a danger to myself or others because I preached without any concern for my own safety.

As with the Trinity, the baptism of God is three-in-one. Eph 4:4, There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Most...

Yes. If God chooses according to whether a man receives His righteousness that He offers to him, then it is not arbitrary. But if it is based on God's choice alone and man does not have a say in the matter of whether or not he will go to the lake of fire, that is indeed an arbitrary decision...

So, does God not give repentance to Gentiles? Are Gentiles chosen? Are Gentiles forgiven? I would merely point out that repentance comes before forgiveness in this verse. Yes, repentance is given. It must be received in order to be apprehended.

Romans 7 is Paul using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION to reach the carnally-minded in his audience (see 1 Corinthians 9:22). He identifies himself as carnal in order to define carnality in order to reach the carnally-minded. That he is not carnal himself in all reality is evident by the...

What does it matter who you were talking about? my point is that there is an example of someone who received mercy because they sought it out (see also Matthew 7:7-8). I don't think that I used those exact words. The law of love. The law that says it is a sin to walk after the flesh and...

I've been "imprisoned" multiple times for preaching the gospel. However, in the United States, they also inject you with soul-killing drugs and accuse you of mental illness to your family.

I would contend that 1 John 1:8 is talking about present and future indwelling sin and that 1 John 1:10 is talking about past committed sins; while 1 John 3:5-9 is talking about present and future committed sins (that they will not be committed by the born again believer). Again, in 1 John 1:8...

Ummmm... Knowledge of the thing in question is not indicative of a man's knowledge of other things. A man can know many things even though he does not know everything.

You think of it as common knowledge but I had never heard of it until today...so it must not be as common as you think. I am not an unknowledgeable guy.

Mat 5:10, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:11, Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat 5:12, Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for...

Get out of town!

I know that I have indeed filled the role of pastor here on these boards. I don't need to have the flattering title of "pastor" applied to me or anything like that. But I did what I did in order to humble @Behold; because he was taking over the boards with many of his posts at that time.

Mat 5:10, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:11, Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat 5:12, Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for...

Perhaps for the entire book; but it has significance when discussing Hebrews 10:26-31.

Lack of one tidbit of knowledge does not qualify as lack of knowledge of everything; even if it is something that you think ought to be common knowledge. We are all people of different backgrounds. There is no such note in any of the Bibles that I own; and I own quite a few Bibles.
