John 5:24 (kjv) contradicts your statement. Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. To break it down. Jesus says here a statement of...

I believe that the olive tree is the church of Jesus Christ; which formerly was composed solely of people who belonged to the seed of Jacob. When Christ came, Gentiles were graffed into the olive tree and certain of the seed of Jacob were taken out because of unbelief. But, the olive tree is...

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is a similar scripture that presents the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a nutshell.

I think that Hebrews 4:12 declares that soul and spirit are one but that the word of God has the power to separate them.

What does it mean to stay in the light, except to remain transparent before the Lord by confessing your sins as the Holy Spirit points them out?

We are reconciled by Jesus' death when we place our faith in Him...when we fulfill the condition to the promise. We are not reconciled to God while still unrepentant. We must at the very least turn to God and ask Him for forgiveness. Confessing our sins is a part of that.

It's more like this... Pro 18:17 (kjv), He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. Pro 18:17 (ESV), The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Pro 18:17 (NLT), The first to speak in court sounds...

So, how do those verses translate into a rude shock for me?

Verse 17 is talking about Jesus Christ; not the sanctified believer.

So, ought we to cut 1 John 1:9 out of our Bibles and never think about it again? How, also, does 1 John 1:9 relate to 1 John 1:7 in your view? In mine, confessing our sins means transparency before the Lord; it means walking in the light as He is in the light. In both verses, the result is...

I have asked you to respond in a specific place and you have been unable to respond; from what I see you have not responded to the question anywhere else either. If it is indeed answering a fool according to his folly to post in my thread, then your doing so would serve to make me not be wise...

So, are you saying that the verse cannot avail for the believer as a "bar of soap"? What if the believer sins again after becoming redeemed? Isaiah 59:2 tells us that sin separates us from God. So, while my position in Christ may be fine and dandy if I sin, my relationship / koinoneia...

Are these phrases indicative of loss of salvation in your opinion? More like, there is a holiness aspect to salvation. Jesus saves us through His shed blood on the Cross of Calvary; and we are justified by that blood (Romans 5:9). However, can it be said that the blood that justifies does...

For us, perhaps...but for the Lord, it may indeed be that His soul was also separated from His Spirit in His dying for us. For us, the soul can indeed be divided from the spirit (Hebrews 4:12). Thread: Hebrews 4:12.

Perhaps I misunderstand @Behold. Because it seems to me that in many of his posts he has taught that it is Christian failure to take advantage of the promise that we find in 1 John 1:9...that 1 John 1:8 does not apply to the believer...and that 1 John 1:7 is also not to be obeyed in the sense...

1Pe 3:20, Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21, The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the...

And, what might be the reason for it?

According to 1 Peter 3:20-21, baptism that saves is in water.

Let me also say this: if you truly know the voice of Jesus, His voice is unmistakeable to you and you will run from the voice of strangers.

When the devil quoted scripture, he quoted it incorrectly...he took out the words, "in all thy ways" because that would have ministered to Jesus and helped Him in the midst of His temptation. This is a reason why I go with the kjv (the Textus Receptus) and not some of the watered-down...
