Yes, I had already looked up the Greek definition of the word.

Here is the Strong's definition (from blue letter bible): G2920: κρίσις krísis, kree'-sis; decision (subjectively or objectively, for or against); by extension, a tribunal; by implication, justice (especially, divine law):—accusation, condemnation, damnation, judgment. How do you account for...

It seems that you never really quote scripture. Is this because you desire that people would simply accept your teaching as authoritative over and above scripture? Why don't you back up your statements with holy scripture? Is it because your statements have no scripture that substantiates...

This translation of John 5:24 is inaccurate. It puts the verse in contradiction to Romans 14:10-12, 2 Corinthians 5:10. The more accurate translation is the kjv: Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and...

The concept of POTS, by my humble estimation, comes from an accurate understanding of 1 John 3:6 and 1 John 2:17 together.

While I most certainly believe that a believer whose heart is good ground cannot lose this salvation, this concept must certainly be balanced out by what we find in Romans 11:20-22. It is qualified by the concept that if anyone is truly born again, they are sealed by the Holy Spirit and...

It is dependent on our continuing to be transparent before the Lord (our not hiding from God, as Adam and Eve did in the garden).

OSAS ("Once Saved Always Saved") is a terminology that takes Calvin's original preaching out of context. Calvin did not teach that if you go forward at a crusade or in church and live like hell afterwards, that you continue to be saved. His actual teaching was POTS ("Perseverance Of The...

One of them may not be damned to hell from an eternal perspective; because they have an opportunity to, as well as the ability to, repent.

You can die spiritually (James 1:14-16). That is not a wrong conclusion (John 15:6). If anyone hates God, they do not have eternal life abiding in them (1 John 3;14, 1 John 4:20). Rom 12:1, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living...

True Trinity. (especially posts #1-#6).

The backslider may indeed be saved on his day of judgment (if he succeeds at avoiding the mark); however, Jesus is returning for a glorious church, having neither spot nor wrinkle nor any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). Those who have not been thus...

Hi @APAK, I believe that you have failed to look at the Greek verb tense in 1 John 1:7. it can be effectively translated, "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son continually cleanseth us from all sin." Hope this helps.

That is disputable. And if "water" in John 3:5 refers to water baptism, you would be gambling on eternity to bank on the idea that it is referring to the ambiotic fluids of physical birth...and you would also lose the gamble.

This is what is written (let the reader decide for himself!): Eze 33:11, Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Eze...

Because if they actually fell away from faith, it is impossible to renew them to repentance. And therefore if they only fell away from an institution of faith, they can repent. The first proposition offers no hope to the one who believes that he once knew Christ and fell away. The second...

If the person who seems to fall away was never saved to begin with, then they can still be saved. If they were saved before and fell away, then it is impossible to bring them to repentance (Hebrews 6:1-8). So, it does matter as to which is which; because in one situation there is at least hope...

The only way that baptism would not save a man is if he is insincere and as the result he subsequently denies Christ after having confessed Him in baptism...saying that he had not faith at all when he surrendered to the sacrament. Baptism in Jesus' Name is in fact the initiation into becoming a...

Actually, the blood of Jesus is continually applied to us as we walk in the light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7). Indeed...and the blood of Jesus does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9)...it also sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). So...

Do you think that there might be a difference in the presentation?
