1 and 2 Chronicles have a different timeline than what was in 1 and 2 Kings. 2 Chronicles 21 may have been right in the time that happened before Elijah went up in the fiery chariot. It is quite possible (and probable) that Elijah wrote this letter before he was caught up in the fiery chariot...

God became the Son when He incarnated...He became the Son when He took on human flesh. The verse for this is Hebrews 10:5. God the Father prepared a body for Himself that, after He came to dwell in it, He, speaking to His former self, said that He had prepared it for Him. The definition of...

Matthew 10:32 teaches that we can be saved through water baptism...inasmuch as the same is a confession of Jesus Christ before men.

So, you believe that if a man is in Christ, he is no longer a sinner? I would say, of course they come out of the water as wet sinners....saved by grace.

What is your basis for saying that no man alive is perfect? Hebrews 10:14 would tell us otherwise. If anyone is perfect, they do not walk around saying, "I am perfect".....their perfection would not be advertised. So, it may be that there are those who are perfect, but that we do not know...

I conclude from that, that believing means that you "should not perish" (John 3:16)...which is an iffy proposition; but still has value. But if you believe and are baptized you "shall be saved" (Mark 16:16)...this is a little bit more absolute. Notice that if anyone calls on the name of the...

I believe that the New Covenant, spoken of in Hebrews 8:8-10, is a covenant for all people. The New Covenant is simply the gospel. The focus is not on the fact that the New Covenant is given to the house of Israel and Judah; but on the fact that it is the New Covenant; and that the New...

It is possible that this will be accomplished perfectly before we are resurrected (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10; 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6).

I'm not sure what your point is. Is not the gospel of Christ, the New Covenant?

We are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5) and this means that we are also sealed in faith; for faith is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9). So, as long as I have the Holy Spirit, I will have...

Ephesians 3:6 shows clearly that the New Covenant is also for the Gentiles and not only for Israel and Judah.

A person who does not believe will be damned (Mark 16:16). The same scripture does not say that the one who is not baptized will be damned.

I would say that salvation in baptism consists of remission of sins and the receiving of the Holy Ghost... Of course there has to be a measure of faith in Jesus for anyone to be baptized in water....for they are confessing Christ before men...and as the result He also will confess them before...

All of these are mere arguments as to why the scriptures do not really mean what they say. I will pray that these arguments might be demolished as strongholds within your thinking. 2Co 10:3, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 2Co 10:4, (For the weapons of our...

Now, when it comes to Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12 it is clear that there is only one name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved...and that name is "the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth" So calling on the name "Jehovah" will not save you. What does that do to the NWT rendition...

James and Jude (the epistle authors) were both the half-brothers of Jesus according to tradition.

Mar 6:3, Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mar 6:4, But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin...

Mary was not a perpetual virgin.

However, a man can be saved through water baptism (1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39); receiving the Holy Ghost because of fulfilling the condition of the conditional promise given.

There is no mention of baptism in Romans 10:13; and I would consider it to be an absolute promise of holy scripture.
