I believe that certain Catholics on here are contending for salvation by works because they probably think that salvation by grace through faith is some kind of cop-out...that we as Protestants are trying to get out of a responsibility. Nothing could be further from the truth. We as believers...

A believer is declared innocent/righteous by faith, however. In Revelation 3:4, they are not declared "worthy" because of good works; but rather they are declared worthy because of the fact that they are sanctified through faith (Acts of the Apostles 26:18) and the word of His grace (Acts of...

I, who am not @Behold, would declare to you, @RogerDC, that the works of the flesh are overcome when we walk according to the Spirit (Galatians 5:16); the fruit of which is, among other things, faith (Galatians 5:22-23).

Sorry, man, but you are out of line. I believe that Exodus 3:14 will suffice very nicely.

No, for if the word is even, it is saying that they are the same Lord (1 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 8:19); for the Father is indeed the Lord of heaven and earth and there is also one Lord; nevertheless, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Spirit of truth.

Still waiting...

@BARNEY BRIGHT, There is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and it is clear that this Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). Nevertheless, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Spirit of truth (1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)). And Jesus is the...

Unbelief concerning the Deity of Christ is clearly an issue of the heart; for there has been given uncontrovertible proof on the matter even in this thread; so that if it were a matter of intellectual understanding the people who reject it would have repented long ago.

The word "and" in this verse can be translated "even" so that it reads like this: 1Co 8:6, But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; even one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. For it is clear that there is one Lord (cf. scripture...

Of course, it is also true that even as believers we all have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8, Galatians 3:22, Romans 3:22, 1 Timothy 1:15, etc.)

This is a sidestep from the real of the issue which is that there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6) and that this Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). And that no one can say that Jesus is "the" Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)). And that Jesus is...

How so? . . . There is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). However, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Spirit of truth (1 Corinthians 12:3). And Jesus is the Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6). How then...

The Babylonians were such a corrupt nation that it is considered justice in the Bible that a man should take its little ones and dash them against the stones...for that is what Babylon did to the babies of Israel. What might otherwise be considered evil, if it is meted out as retributive...

Yes, that is the life preserver. The minister of the gospel saves people by throwing the life preserver out to the one who is drowning.

Jude 1:23... Jde 1:22, And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jde 1:23, And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. We are commanded here as ministers to save people. The third time it shall do double damage (Ezekiel 21:14...

Really, Romans 6:23. They die because the law is inherent in God's heart as a moral standard (whether it is given to the sinner or not) and violation of it is what brings the punishment of the second death. On the day of judgment, people will be placed in the lake of fire because they sinned...

Yes, I like that better too. But in order to deal with those who unashamedly say, "I am a sinner saved by grace", I desire to define what that means for them so that they understand that they cannot excuse their sins by making such a statement.

Actually, false. Being born again means that you have a new nature that is predestinated to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

No doubt we are instruments in God's hands; that God uses to save sinners from inexplicable doom. We can choose whether to be obedient or disobedient to the call to preach the gospel.

Gal 5:22, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
