Jesus didn't say that.

I will reiterate here that the blood of Jesus does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9)...it also sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Is it possible that it should be applied and also not perform all of its functions?

You must place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved.

The holy scriptures (the closed canon of holy scripture) are all-sufficient...nothing more is needed for life and godliness but what we have in the closed canon of holy scripture.

Romans 7:14-25 speaks of the unregenerated man who has come in contact with the law; but has not yet been born again through faith in Jesus Christ. He delights in the law of God in his inward man but does not yet have the power of the Spirit to overcome the power of sin.

The flesh is indeed unredeemable; however this is not to say that it cannot be dealt with. Rom 6:6, Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Col 2:11, In whom also ye are circumcised with the...

Yes, the very doctrine that is responsible for my being set free from besetting sins (in Ezekiel 33:11-20) must in fact be a FALSE and PERVERTED gospel by which I am damned for ever... After all, the true gospel tells us that we can remain in our sins and we will go to heaven...and therefore if...

Sorry, @Ferris Bueller, But it seems to me that if someone has everlasting life, their life cannot ever come to an end...if it could, then the nature of that life is that it was always temporal rather than everlasting. But I am interested in how you think that everlasting life can not mean...

If we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, then we have faith before we have grace. It is a very simple deduction.

As concerning John 5:24... 1 John 5:1 tells us that the one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... While 1 John 3:9 tells us that the one who willfully sins against Christ is not born of God. Therefore, I would conclude that the one who willfully sins against Christ does not...

1Ti 1:15, This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Paul wasn't a saint when he said this?

You will die in your sins unless you begin to believe that Jesus is the great I AM (John 8:24). I have no opinion on the matter, having not studied it out. But go ahead and give us your take on the matter. Yes. Yes. The only way to be redeemed is to be forgiven through the blood of...

Paul was using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION in Romans 7:14-25... He identified himself as carnal in order to define carnality in order that he might win the carnal person to faith in Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 9:22). That Paul himself was not carnal when he wrote this is evident...

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 have been made the righteousness of the Lord in Christ and we do not have to commit sin (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17). We are most certainly able to...

Yes...if we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, then faith comes before we enter into grace.

2Pe 2:18, For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 2Pe 2:19, While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a...

It already rests upon His shoulders without any of our help (Isaiah 9:6-7).

The word "complete" is therefore better translated as "perfect." Col 2:10, And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: That they are two different words is evident in the following. Col 4:12, Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you...

Trying to turn you towards Him. I will also be praying for you that He gives you a revelation of who He is as God in order that you might be saved (and not die in your sins, John 8:24).

What question? Were you asking it of me?
