Those verses cannot be saying that we are saved by works, lest they be in contradiction to the following verses; which teach us that salvation is not of works: Romans 4:5-6 Titus 3:5 (kjv) Tit 3:5, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by...

My answer to this is Romans 8:16 (I know I'm butting in again).

A donkey, rebuking me, would have to have an aspect of personality to it. Where? And how also does He say it if He is not a Person?

I know that this was intended as a slam specifically against me, because I know that I do sound "smart" and "theologically deep" (because I have an extensive knowledge of the holy scriptures and this becomes evident by what I post). But just know that my motivation for being here is not for...

Most assuredly, the false teachers that are spoken of in Jude 1:3-4 chose to teach falsely concerning teaching grace as a license for immorality; and as a result, because God foreknew that they would do what they do, He predestinated them for hell. Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to...

Then everyone who is born again is justified "by" faith (Romans 3:30) The blood of Jesus is applied to those who walk in the light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7).

I'll post it and then read it...(because I have read it many times before)... 1Jo 2:27, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath...

First of all, @Blood Bought 1953, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 tells us that fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. If a believer fornicates, he or she would definitely need to confess of that sin and repent (so that they are no longer a fornicator) in order to enter heaven. As for the rest...

I don't think that reading God's word is self-effort; just like eating lunch every day is not self-effort. We do so, in both instances, because we are hungry. Not to mention, in both instances, we find pleasure in the "eating". Especially if one is born again, they will find pleasure in...

So does the scripture in question.

I do believe that Revelation 3:10 is clear on a pre-tribulation rapture for those in Philadelphia who keep the word of His patience. Others may in fact be left behind.

If you have already met Jesus and are walking with Him, you are ready to meet Him in the clouds; and there is no need for concern. The concept of concern over such a thing wouldn't even cross your mind...you would be looking forward to the event with joy and anticipation.

Sorry, this is too boring for me to read. Maybe you could post a post of your own and put these doctrines in your own words?

God is most certainly a Person (Exodus 3:14). He speaks to us throughout the Old and New Testaments. Is it possible that something could speak and yet not be a Person or have personality?

There is even foolishness in God (1 Corinthians 1:18-21); which is wiser than men.

Actually, nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).

Did you know also, that, according to scripture, the Holy Spirit has a mind and also makes intercession for us?

Topical context (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21) demands that the translation of even be accepted. Since there is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and that Lord is the Father according to Matthew 11:25 and Luke 10:21. It presents a problem for you as a denier of...

Indeed. And the blood of Jesus is applied when we are transparent before Him. 1Jo 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

All I'm saying is that to have any good relationship, transparency is needed in any good relationship. If your husband or wife doesn't really know you, can you say that you have a good marriage? This is all that I'm even saying... What happens on your day of judgment if Jesus "never knew you"?
