I didn't say that it was saying that...I said that the doctrine of salvation by works is a doctrine that was held by Thyatira...and that not all of them held this doctrine....and that for those who didn't, Jesus wouldn't place on them any extra burden. Jesus here will reward those who keep His...

Rom 4:1, What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? Rom 4:2, For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Rom 4:3, For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for...

Heb 3:7, Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Heb 3:8, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Heb 3:9, When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Heb 3:10, Wherefore I was grieved...

Why not?

So, you're saying that a man can fall away, and still be saved? Next thing you know you will be encouraging people to fall away. After all, it doesn't matter to your salvation if you do. Also, since, in your doctrine, if I fall away, I am still saved, you can rest assured that if I "don't...

So you're saying that Jesus has our sin. Is there sin in Christ? Answer me.

I am sealed by the Holy Ghost and He has given to me an everlasting faith. I do not have to maintain this faith, He maintains it for me because it is genuine faith. If my faith were not genuine; if it were merely lukewarm, shallow, or nominal, then it would be a Luke 8:13 faith. As it is, it...

Who is the Word? We know that the Bible teaches that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Who was He before He became flesh? If you look at Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:35, you will find that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost. We can determine from this that the Holy Ghost is the seed of...

You have mentioned that only the Son descended to become a Man. That would make the Son a completely separate entity from the Father and the Holy Ghost. If they did not descend with Him, then God is not indivisible but can be divided into parts. But if God is, in fact, indivisible, then when...

This is reminiscent of the concept that the person in Luke 8:13 continues to be saved after falling away; which, btw, is heresy. I will say this: that my faith is not something that I have to try to cling to or hold on to in order to stay saved. Do I cling to it? I do; for Barnabas exhorted...

The Son is the Son in that He is come in the flesh, via the hypostatic union. Before that He was the Word (the Father, God).

I'm afraid that you have either a 2nd God incarnating, or else 1/3 of God. What happened to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost being indivisible?

I have seen real miracles in today's world; so I do not believe that miracles have ceased.

Grace will produce holiness in the believer's life. The blood of Jesus justifies us (Romans 5:9) or covers over our sins (Romans 4:7). However, it also sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7) or takes away our sins (1 John 3:5). Can the blood of Jesus, when it is applied, do one...

gnosticism.

Col 2:8, Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:9, For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

You should consider what Jesus said in John 4:23-24 and John 14:7-11; and then look at Luke 23:46 and Ephesians 4:10. The Spirit of Jesus, according to the first of these passages, is the Father; and He also released His Spirit back to the Father, who inhabiteth eternity (and therefore, when He...

My pov is that Jesus is the Son of God in the hypostatic union; in that He is come in human flesh. So, inasmuch as He only did certain things in His humanity, the Father and the Holy Ghost were not included in what He was doing. But my point has to do with this: you say that God the Father...

@BreadOfLife is on my Ignore list. I sometimes notice when he posts because the last person said to have posted on a thread is designated as "Ignored Member". So, I may come in from time to time if he responds to me and simply say that I am ignoring him. This way people will not be confused...

I don't see the context of Galatians 3:22 telling a different story. I believe that it is a first rule of hermeneutics that the context of any singular verse will never nullify the plain meaning of that verse. Because there are no contradictions in holy scripture. That being said, the fact...
