They can repent because the Holy Spirit's drawing enables them to repent with His help (see 2 Corinthians 6:2).

Now if you are saying that repentance will always immediately follow salvation then that is a little better. In such a case, a person is still not saved without repentance being in the equation. But I think that such an idea might be contrary to the bent of your theology; because the aim of it...

If you are accusing me of using an ad hominem, please show where I have resorted to this and the nature of my attack. If repentance is not unto salvation then repentance is not needed; because a person is saved without repentance. This is a doctrine of devils. Perhaps, @Christophany, you are...

Disagree. The first mention of baptism in holy scripture is when John baptized in the Jordan river (in water!)...therefore, every subsequent mention of baptism is also referring to water baptism. This is a principle of hermeneutics; that the first mention of any word defines the usage of that...

Heb 3:12, Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb 3:13, But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were...

If you are already saved when you repent (if repentance comes after salvation), then you don't need to repent in order to be saved. This is a dangerous doctrine of devils. It implies that repentance isn't needed; for I can be saved without it: since if repentance comes after salvation, I am...

I assume you are speaking of where Paul says it is he, not the Lord, who is saying what he is saying. I would say that he is still saying what he says with apostolic authority and under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

These accounts coincide with each other. More than one centurion. I'm not sure of the significance of this to your point. By all means tell us what you are speaking of and the extrabiblical knowledge that leads you to believe that Jesus spoke on the issue of abortion. I know that it is...

Like you are attempting to do to me right now...

All things where you have not used extrabiblical information to interpret the Bible and to come up with a "better interpretation". ROFL... Hilarious... This analogy breaks down at the most basic level. A car has wheels on it and also a steering wheel; and in examining the car It is easy...

1Co 8:6, But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. How is Jesus the one God since He is the one Lord and therefore how can He be the one God here in this scripture? Refusing to answer the...

That is hilarious... You know, if someone wracks their brain long enough, they can come up with an answer for anything.

I have experiential knowledge of none of these things; and yet I can still glean from the scriptures their intended meaning when examples of horticulture are given in the Bible as parables.

How do you answer the contention of the Jehovah's Witnesses who say that 1 Corinthians 8:6 means that Jesus isn't God? @Christophany, @Enoch111.

Starting a new thread with this question for you. here: 1 Corinthians 8:6

I said, how does knowledge of horticulture, outside of what we learn in the Bible itself, affect our understanding of the scriptures themselves. All of those are examples of things that we can learn about horticulture from the Bible.

Horticulture? Please give an example of how knowledge of horticulture (other than what can be gleaned from the Bible itself) has any bearing on our knowledge of the holy scriptures. Such extrabiblical information may even lead someone down the wrong path in their understanding. Knowledge of...

Much can be gleaned out of the holy scriptures merely by reading them directly. Sometimes extrabiblical information can even convolute the meaning so that the application is lost to the reader; as I have told you. You can keep your opinion and I will keep mine. I believe that the holy...

The words of all of these people, as they are recorded in the Bible, are the word of God.

I would ask you, @Christophany, how you answer the contention of the Jehovah's Witnesses who say that 1 Corinthians 8:6 means that Jesus isn't God?
