There is a problem when you have people preaching that repentance is not necessary for salvation. In Hebrews it says we will move on to bigger and better things in doctrine, if the Lord permits. The Lord will not permit us to go to other doctrines if people are preaching false doctrine as...

Is that what I said in post #75 (What Does Blasphemy of The Holy Spirit Actually Mean?)? The Father became the Son when He took on an added nature of human flesh; without leaving His Omnipresent state of dwelling in eternity. Because anyone who dwells in eternity by nature, dwells in eternity...

I don't like those versions for 1 John 3:3... Because 1 John 3:3 is to be used in conjunction with a few other verses in order to prove the doctrine of entire sanctification. 1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous...

Friend, we are not saved by our works; we are saved unto good works. You will not be regenerated / renewed / born again by giving $5 to the poor, or even $5,000,000. That can only come about through faith in Jesus Christ. If you have been regenerated and renewed and born again, good works...

What do you think the word "The" means, in Isaiah 9:6 and in Psalms 50:1 (kjv), @BARNEY BRIGHT? Can there be more than one Person who is "the" Mighty God?

If Jesus is our Father at all, He is the only Father (Malachi 2:10). You are saying that there is more than one "Mighty God" then...I would suggest reading James 2:19. So, Jesus is your perfect Father. Mal 2:10, Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal...

See post #12 (SinSinSin). But I would say that the second benefit (spoken of in 2 Corinthians 1:15) can happen in a person in a moment of time; whether the person is 17 or 70.

Of course not. All you have to do is believe that Christ died for you, was buried, and rose again from the dead three days later; and keep that in memory. However, people who do not have this knowledge in their heart, but only in their head, may end up forgetting this most essential...

I believe that the main teaching on how to deal with temptation is a type of reverse psychology that the Lord uses on us when we come to the knowledge of His grace in our lives. The law has the effect of exacerbating temptation as a kind of "forbidden fruit" or "wet paint" principle. When we...

You have a part in it...you must become willing for Him to perform the work of sanctifying you. It means to me that Jesus is God.

The son that was given shall have the name of "The everlasting Father" according to Isaiah 9:6. In order to deny this you have to engage in eisegesis and change the wording of the scripture as it exists in the kjv, not once, but twice. He shall have also the name of "The mighty God..." compare...

...2 Corinthians 11:6...

I disagree. I believe that the law, which gives us the knowledge of sin, is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ. No amount of such teaching will avail if they are never born again of the Holy Spirit. Being born again will solve the problem of temptation. The living wager will begin to flow...

If anyone seeks Christ, his kingdom, and His righteousness (see Matthew 6:33) they are coming to Christ. And He will not in any wise cast them out (John 6:37). I agree that the end result of coming to Christ will be personal holiness. No one is disputing that.

Here is my take on John 1:1... "In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with the Father; and the Word was the Father." I see it this way because of an algebraic substitution for God as "the Father" because of 1 Corinthians 8:6.

I am not in error and I also believe in the sound doctrine of the Trinity. There is also no point in discussing other issues with you until you come to a biblical understanding of the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because that is the pivotal subject on which your salvation depends. Until...

Christ is holy...so the thoughts that are taken captive to His obedience will be holy thoughts...not captivated by sin. Preaching against sin on the other hand is a holy vein of thinking.

Apparently you were attempting to say that I was not behaving with "Much love"... If anyone was trying to "get in their digs", it wasn't me... I don't have any kind of beef with you, @marks. Please don't try to change that.

@BARNEY BRIGHT, It appears that your understanding of the Bible has been corrupted by a faulty translation of the Bible. Are you aware that the Watchtower Society, which came out with the New World Translation, is guilty of many false prophecies that they have prophesied falsely over the...
