Such a person very likely has conviction that the things he is preaching against are wrong; but is personally weak in his own life and therefore does not live up to the standard that he has set forth for other people. As concerning shellfish, I personally believe that if I am going to be great...

Playing the devil's advocate here... What do you make of Galatians 2:7?

The New Testament is concealed in the Old, and the Old Testament is revealed in the New. The gospel was spoken of since the world began but it was also concealed in the pages of holy scripture; as was the case in the parables of Jesus; in which men would hear and not understand and see and yet...

Peter's sin was not willful. As a matter of fact, I would say that he was trying to be obedient to such spiritual principles as are found in Romans 14:1 - Romans 15:1 and 1 Corinthians 8. In being senstivie to the consciences of the Jewish people who had arrived on the scene. I believe that...

Not usually willful. No one wants to be considered a hypocrite and no one wants to be a hypocrite. I would say therefore that if anyone is a hypocrite, it is unintentional on their part.

John 1:1 is accurately defined by Ephesians 4:10. See posts #1-#6 of the following thread: True Trinity.

In Galatians 2, Peter "was to be blamed' over the fact that he did not support the gospel to the Gentiles in his behaviour. However, it should be clear that he was being obedient to the principles found in Romans 14:1 - 15:1 and 1 Corinthians 8 in that he was being sensitive to the consciences...

I think that if Biden institutes another situation where the saints are forbidden to go to church, that it would be expedient for us to say that we must obey God rather than men (Acts of the Apostles 4:19-20; Acts of the Apostles 5:29); For God has said in His word that we are not to forsake...

Luk 4:23, And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. Mat 25:40, And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the...

See Romans 11:20-22. It is not that we maintain our salvation by works; but that our works are maintained by our salvation. You have to deal with what it says in Ezekiel 33:11-20... It seems to me, in that passage, to be saying that if we sin after having received the imputed righteousness...

It is indeed symbolic; while it also has the power to save a person as a means of confessing Jesus as Lord and Saviour. It symbolizes identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the act of being baptized is a unification with the Person of Jesus Christ in His...

No, that is you... Case in point: I gave scriptures and an opinion that baptism in Jesus' Name provides absolute assurance whereas mere belief is a more "iffy" proposition...and you previously gave your argument that you do not accept that opinion because you do not accept the kjv as being...

Amen... Gal 5:22, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Rom 3:21, But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets...

I think that the Bible would tell us otherwise... Mat 7:23, And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mat 13:41, The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do...

No answer, huh? I would suggest that you keep Jesus' command to persevere. You never know when something you say might just hit home with me.

PS I also want to ask you to forgive me for taking so long to be able to permanently forgive you for what you did to me. I know that I did not exhibit the most Christ-like behaviour in my reaction to you.

Hi @Blood Bought 1953, I really do not want to engage in a war with you and I desire to forgive you...and I may have even been wrong in some of what I was preaching so that you may have been justified in calling my gospel "FALSE" and "PERVERTED"... I could wish that you would have simply sent...

Jesus said, I never knew you, to people who were workers of iniquity... Matthew 7:23; Matthew 13:41-42; Ezekiel 33:11-20.

The power to forgive or retain sins is not given only to the apostles and neither is it only given to those on whom the apostles would lay hands or to those who would receive "succession". It is given to all those who receive the Holy Spirit, in the context of the passage.

κρίσιν κρίσις krisis 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. My argument would be that the Greek word in John 5:24 (kjv) does...
