Is the body of sin made non-existent when it is crucified (Romans 6:6 (kjv)? I think not (1 John 1:8). Personally, I believe that those who did not have a chance to receive Christ in this life will be given a singular opportunity after death.

It is inherent in the verses themselves. No one can come to Jesus except the heavenly Father draws them. And no one can come to Jesus unless it is granted to them of the Father. Whereas, those who are given to Jesus shall come to the Father. All you have to do is take the verses literally...

I suggest that you cite the scriptures that support your pov that being drawn to the Son guarantees that they are also given to the Son.

While we are no longer condemned by the law, since we are forgiven of past, present, and future sins; nevertheless we are in fact governed by it. We are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to it (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from it (Romans 7:6). But that we are governed...

I will not deny that obedience is the result of a genuine faith. However, the holy scriptures are clear: that we are saved by grace through faith apart from works / obedience / our performance / law-keeping (Romans 4:5-6, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 11:5-6). We do not obtain the love of...

Eagerly waiting for Him / anticipating His return requires that you believe His return could happen at any time; which precludes a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider Matthew 6:25-34 and ask yourself if the attitudes spoken of in that passage are conducive towards storing up food for the Great...

Those who have not been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb will be judged and condemned by their works; while those who are redeemed will receive reward because of them.

The Bible declares that there is eternal, conscious torment in "the furnace of fire" (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46). By their "fruits" (Matthew 7:15-20). If you are lukewarm in your spiritual temperature when Jesus returns He will "spew you out of His mouth" (Revelation...

God doesn't love you unless you obey Him? (for I am looking once again at Romans 8:38-39 as a promise of holy scripture). That's news to me...last time I checked, the holy scriptures teach that God is love (1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16).

Jesus Himself, in the Sermon on the Mount, said that you will be counted great in the kingdom if you do and teach the least of these commandments which are found in the law; of which not one jot or tittle shall be removed from it until heaven and earth pass away (Matthew 5:17-20). This teaching...

It would seem that every promise has attached to it as a condition faith (Hebrews 11:33); so that even those promises that appear to have no condition have as a condition that they must be obtained by faith.

It is that the love of God is in Christ Jesus our Lord; so perhaps I have not given a good enough example. But certainly, there are promises that do not have any conditions attached to them; while I cannot point out one of them in the present moment. It may be that every promise of God has a...

What is the condition placed on Romans 8:38-39, as a promise in holy scripture?

Also, the Lord is not going to give us a compromised word of God in what we find in the English as it is presented to us. This is why there is a controversy over kjv-only; and the controversy exists over no other version. It is because God has chosen out the kjv to most closely represent in...

I am of the opinion that the English is sufficient.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the same Spirit (Ephesians 4:4, John 4:24). However, it should be clear that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father (John 15:26) and that He understands humanity experientially, having been human (Luke 23:46), so that He can make intercession for the...

His name is far above that of angels; even when He descended to become a little lower than the angels. Consider that Jesus became a Man; and that this Man subsequently resurrected in His body. (It was Jesus as the Holy Ghost who rose to fill all things, Ephesians 4:10, Luke 23:46; for Jesus...

How do you figure?

Those who do not have the divine nature need the law that says "Do not murder" to tell them that they are sinners in need of a Saviour over the fact that they have murder in their hearts.

See Romans 7:6, 2 Corinthians 3:6. As for the rest of your post, there is a context to every thing that you stated about the OT law as a disparagement upon it. So, I would suggest that you give chapter and verse when you talk about those things so that a man can look up the context of what you...
