We are not physically dead before we come to Christ... Anyone can cry out...like this: Dear Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I admit that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour and I acknowledge that You are the Saviour that I need. I ask You to forgive me of my sins and make me new on the inside. I...

No, they are made righteous by faith. Romans 5:1-2.

Yes (2 Corinthians 13:5, Hebrews 12:14).

See John 1:12, Joshua 24:15, Revelation 22:17. We cannot do good in and of ourselves; but if we call out to God in prayer to change us, He will do the work of transforming our hearts so that we will begin to do good, since we have now been regenerated and renewed. He sheds abroad His love in...

In Romans 3:10-18, it should be clear that verse 9 tells us that that is speaking of Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; but that the church of God is exempted from this (see 1 Corinthians 10:32, compare to Romans 3:9). Also, Romans 3:10-18 is speaking of those who are under the law...

Yes, @Jennifera198337, we are all sinners; in the sense that we have indwelling sin. We are not sinners, however (if we are born of God), in the sense that we do not any longer commit sins as a general practice (1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17). The element of sin, while not eradicated...

If I read it, I would be taking it in; and thus imbibing the arsenic. Do you think that I want to be poisoned?

To @kcnalp, Do you believe that your being a Gentile means that you will not be judged by God, since you think that being a Gentile means you are not under the law? Being a Christian (the born again type) means that you will not come under condemnation (John 5:24 (kjv))... Being a Gentile...

You are misinterpreting that; but I know that you have more than one reason to do so. 1) if it means spiritual life (being born again) then you have lost the challenge. 2) if it means spiritual life then you are also found to have falsity in your teaching. It's alright, BB1953...I know that...

Apart from the Cross there is no power to change your direction. The blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). And Jesus, when dying on the Cross, said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my Spirit..." Some 50 days later God poured out...

I will give one biblical perspective and allow you to present the opposite if it exists in holy scripture. 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...

Since the last three posts are not the words of Jesus as we find them in the gospels, we can determine that they are derived from an extrabiblical (antibiblical?) source and are not to be trusted. They may even be derived from gnostic sources...they appear to me to be so. Be careful, little...

That isn't what that verse says. Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Where is faith mentioned in that verse (as a result of Christ's obedience)? You are reading into the text what isn't there. That's...

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 33:12, Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of...

Because those who receive the gospel, the blood of Jesus cleanseth them from all sin and they become born of God (see 1 john 3:9, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17 for what this means for them). You are looking at it from the perspective of literal words used and not the meaning of the passage. You are...

My stepfather may have actually been my biological father; he treated me with good disciplining practices and I respected him; until we had a falling out when I was 18. The one who said he was my biological father never spanked me; and I believe now because of that, that he didn't love me. My...

I will say to the unbeliever that if he seeks to be justified by the law, he is required to keep all of it (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48) from conception into eternity. But if you are justified by Christ, you are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4...

Gentiles are under the law of Moses, as I have explained to you (Not faith alone?). And I am not (Romans 6:14).

I actually "liked" that post a while ago when I read it before. I still do. What I would mention is that you are a female, correct? So, you treat your daughter as a mother would. I, being a male, have more understanding of how a father would treat his child, even though I do not yet have any...

They have access by faith into this grace wherein they stand (Romans 5:1-2).
