    An Aspect of Sin that God Loves !

    To teach that a person can go to heaven apart from repenting of their sins is a "FALSE and PERVERTED" gospel... For Jesus came to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14)... And He is also a gentleman; so He is not going to apply His blood to your life so that your sins may be removed...

    Faith : Update

    Salvation is by grace through faith and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Romans 4:1-8 also, specifically tells us that we are justified apart from works (especially Romans 4:5-6). Another is Titus 3:4-7 (especially Titus...

    An Aspect of Sin that God Loves !

    It is never that God loves sin... But you are right in saying that He loves it when we come to Him in contrite repentance over our sins. It may even be your salvation that you do...:eek::D:p Now, if you take these doctrines to mean that you can just keep sinning and give to God the lip...

    The Wrong Effect

    No, I'm saying that the new man doesn't sin because when a man is truly born again he doesn't any longer commit sins of the flesh (Romans 8:4).

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    There is no BUT in my statement that Jesus saves. The question that you need to ask is, "what does Jesus save you from?" The answer is in Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14. If you said, "my sins", go to the head of the class... To say that Jesus paid the penalty without dealing with the sins...

    Help Wanted - Luke 15:7

    If they already repented, they are walking in the right direction. They don't need to turn around again.

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    Again, I am not trusting in anything but the blood of Jesus for my salvation. It does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9)...it sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Now, the fact that the Lord is not going to take away your sins against your...

    WHO WILL ENTER THE CITY OF GOD? ***

    Matthew 21:43, in context, is saying that the kingdom will be taken away from Israel and given to the Gentiles; because Israel was not bearing the fruits of rhe kingdom. How then is Israel a righteous nation?

    Help Wanted - Luke 15:7

    People who genuinely do not need to repent; because they have already done their repenting. If those who have repented still need to repent, that is like saying that repentance is not...a 180-degree turn away from sin, death and hell and towards righteousness, life, and heaven. Repentance...

    The Wrong Effect

    I think that you have them all wrong, actually. I have portrayed them accurately. But I know you...that you have made up your mind that you are going to be the one to come against me at every turn. So, it is not that there is anything wrong with my thinking here...it is that you are simply...

    Faith : Update

    Enduring, confessing, and repenting are all things that, biblically, a believer is supposed to do.

    Contradiction Or Paradox?

    Mar 13:32, But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

    Unbelievers are identified as those who commit iniquity (1 John 5:1, 1 John 3:9). God's anger will be appeased when those who commit iniquity are cast into the furnace of fire (Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41; Matthew 13:41-42).

    God is the Alpha and Omega=the Beginning and the End=God is outside Time!!!

    The entire Bible is very much like a mirror...James 1:22-25... I do not have to testify of the sinfulness of those who wax ugly in their dealings with people...it is evident to all.

    Apparently I am not the only one that you don't like on these boards. Haven't you ever heard the old saying, that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all?

    Contradiction Or Paradox?

    Seems to me like I have been standing here blocking all of his jabs.

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    The Lord only has to say it once for me to believe in it. Especially when the statement is presented in the form of a threat. I am not going to take any chances where the Lord has made a threat of doing that which would cause Him to make good on it. It comes down again to the whole concept of...

    The Wrong Effect

    I do not believe that the new creation is a sinner; and neither do I believe that the flesh can sin and the "real you" be unaffected by that. When the flesh sins, all of you sins. To say that the "real you" does not sin when your flesh sins is indeed gnostic teaching; and it does indeed have...

    The Wrong Effect

    No; in my estimation we do not sin with our new nature if we also do not sin with our flesh. It is a gnostic belief to say that when we sin with our flesh we do not really sin because our "real self" isn't involved.
