No...I simply pointed out that the children who were killed in the scripture that you brought up were not killed for the sins of their parents, but for their own sins.

Hi @Ronald Nolette, More so than what you preach concerning doctrine, what concerns me is that you have failed to respect God by capitalizing His name; not once, but twice in the above posts. I would ask you pointedly if these things are typos or if you deliberately spelled God without a...

I will say again that if "your" righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no wise enter in to the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:20). You have been given an imputed righteousness because of faith in Christ...He has justified you even though you are...

That was no typo...you intended to exalt other gods to the same exalted position as the one true God...you capitalized the word not once, but twice...if it was a typo, go back and correct your mistake.

I have not failed to resolve the apparent contradiction...but you do not accept the resolution that is presented. Your failure to receive the truth in no way precludes the idea that I have not been able to accurately refute your idea that there are contradictions in the Bible.

You are simply lying in that you have identified yourself as a Christian on your profile. Other gods are not to be represented with a capital "G". 1Co 8:6, But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; even one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and...

Also, the reason why I asked you to provide the references again was so that I might deal with the scriptures in question once again...it is easier to deal with what is right in front of you than with that which is hiding behind a bush.

I'll give you my thoughts on it. John may have indeed been using hyperbole here to make a point...the point being that if anyone is truly born again, they will most definitely have a changed life. My favorite scripture to quote when referring to this issue is Proverbs 4:18...from which we can...

My take on what the word of the Lord teaches on this issue is what it says in 2 Kings 14:6.

I think that when Paul says "we" in 1 Corinthians 2:13 he is speaking of those who penned the holy scriptures. Which is not to say that there is another silent "we" inherent in the scripture...the "we" of those who will be comparing scripture with scripture in order to come up with the teaching...

In the second scripture...the children died for their own sins; not for the sins of their parents. The children most assuredly received ideologies and idolatrous thought patterns that were handed down to them by their parents... However it should be clear that these idolatrous thought patterns...

I have reconciled the apparent contradiction, but you do not accept my claim. But I suggest that you quote the scriptures that you are referring to so that they can be dealt with more adequately. But I think that the reason that you don't quote or reference them is because you know that if we...

If you are willing to read the scripture that calls your statement a lie I will quote it to you: 1Co 2:13, Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. As I said before, we all interpret...

So, say it the way I've been saying it. No, a man is justified before God by faith alone, apart from works. Before man, he is justified by works (Romans 4:2). The church will fight you tooth and nail on this because it is a matter of sound doctrine. Salvation is "not of works, lest any man...

I would say that the Lord sanctifies us not without our cooperation and agreement. If that is so, give the biblical substantiation for your doctrine. Nope. It all depends on whether you read the verse in question (Hebrews 10:14) in the kjv or in one of the watered-down translations...

Certainly it is a faith that obeys that is salvational. But the obedience isn't what saves. It is the obedient faith that saves. It is not the works that save a man; it is the attitude that produces the works that is an integral part of the salvation that we receive sola fide.

Chapter and verse please. Because if you are referring to Romans 7:14-25, Paul was there using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION. As he spoke of in 1 Corinthians 9:22. He became as the weak in order to gain the weak. It is not saying that Paul was actually carnal; but that he identified...

That is a lie that goes against everything that we believe as Christians. I trust the word of God more than the word of man. The Holy Ghost (John 16:13). We do not trust in men but in God the Holy Ghost to be the interpreter of holy scripture to our minds. He is the "Wonderful...

He spreads this lie in the church but not in the world, that politics don't matter. You hear things like, "God is on the throne no matter who wins this election" and other such things of like manner. I would say that God's will can be accomplished more easily in our country if the people...
