He was not saved (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). And it was his stepmother. Walking into a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than walking into a McDonald's makes you a hamburger. Also, are you in some way, shape, or form, denying the message of Romans 5:19?

What do you say about the person who calls on the name of the Lord upon their death bed and then passes into the next life one minute later? See Romans 10:13. I believe that this verse would tell us that the person who calls on the name of the Lord, and yet has no works to show for his faith...

Let the reader decide: Rom 6:22, But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Rom 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. How am I being a...

And, the fact that I have recently sinned does not mean that I will necessarily still sin in the future. And also, the fact that I "still sin" does not in any way preclude that a man cannot come to the place where he will "go and sin no more." I can't read your mind. What is it that you...

There is no merit towards salvation in the works of man. Salvation is by grace through faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:5-6, Titus 3:5, Romans 11:5-6).

The verses in question teach that we are saved by grace through faith apart from works; while your statements contend that works are necessary for salvation.

I do not deny that I still have a sin nature... But I would contend that the element of sin within me can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8). That is not necessarily the case. In 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), we find that God is able to and will sanctify the believer...

How do you figure that? Because I have a dysfunction in my brain that is very well corrected by medicine so that I can function normally with the medicine that I take? Scripture interprets scripture; and more specifically, immediate context matters. And I believe that the immediate context...

Mr. Biden, You are not going to bring an end to the deep-seated disunity in America, in the course of 4-8 years; apart from forcing unity on the people. How do you propose to do that? It bodes of a culture prophesied by Orwellian literature. The very concept that you might try to change the...

The free gift is being made righteous (Romans 5:15-17, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7, Matthew 5:6). Read it how you want...it's not an essential of the faith...just an interesting tidbit.

Not necessarily...I posit to you that the things of Middle Earth may have been a reality pre-flood.

Actually, Eve was said to be the mother of all living even before Cain was born...check it out in holy scripture.

I am definitely saved by grace through faith, friend. God has made me into a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv)). Here is what Jesus said on the matter: Mat 7:21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of...

My dear lady, you have unwittingly accepted the teachings of gnosticism into your life... Which John was specifically dealing with in his writing of 1 John.

cont' from #273... So, really, 1 John 1:8 ought to say, if we say that we have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us... You have the verse reading exactly the opposite. I don't think that the difference between eastern and western is going to make that much of a difference in...

You don't have to have a Hebrew mind to understand from Jesus' words that a good eye is generous and an evil eye is stingy.

Also, that those who read 1 John according to a western mindset are badly deceived for believing according to a western reading of 1 John that we all have indwelling sin.

So, you're saying that you are the bearer of the true gospel according to the eastern mindset that no one in the west would be able to comprehend apart from you bringing them that knowledge... So, apart from you and the news that you bring, no one will be saved... got it.

Good night.
