Hello @quietthinker, Why are you throwing out these meaningless statements, without engaging with your responses. For it serves no purpose. In Christ Jesus Chris

'And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job hath."' (Job 42:7) Hello @brightfame52, No...

'Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern...

'... ... ...ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than...

Hello @St.SteVens, God has provisioned for that, as we see in Romans 2: 'Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the...

Subject Heading:- What Makes a Doctrine False? Hello @St.SteVen, ' I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or...

Hello, @Behold, Thank you for for responding. - You refer to Mat 25:41, 'Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:' (see also Mat, 25:41) This is referring to the lake of fire, for it alone is...

Hi @Behold, I would prefer not to be in opposition to you, but on this subject I am unfortunately. If you believe I am wrong then do please show me the verses to look at, which speak of torment and I will consider them. If you have Luke 16:19-31 in mind, and the story of the rich man and...

Hello @Behold, I know that you believe in the traditional view of hell as a place of eternal conscious punishment: Yet contrary to what you believe it is not the testimony of Scripture. Hell itself is not eternal, for it is cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14). Hell being the place of the...

'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Rom 6:23) Hello @St.SteVen, Eternal life is a gift of God, received through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ. Not all receive it, for they do not all have faith in God or in...

Hello @Behold, The doctrine that Paul preaches was given to him by the One Who met with Him on the Road to Damascus, and turned his world upside down in a moment. He it is Who is the subject of Paul's gospel. As the Apostle of Christ, chosen by God the Father, to be the Apostle to the...

'And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.' (Rev 20:14-15) Hello :brightfame52, Hell is not eternal, for it is cast into the lake of fire in Rev.20:14. In Christ Jesus...

Hello @quietthinker, (@St. SteVen) This does look like a good plumbline by which to measure what is true doctrine and what is false. For the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, now risen and glorified, and sat at God's right hand, the position of great power and authority: is the...

Subject Heading:- What Makes A Doctrine False? (5) The "Bible" says it is false. (other biblical opinions don't matter) Hello @St. SteVen, My reason for considering a doctrine false, is that it does not align with what the scriptures say (point No.5): taking into consideration context and...

Hello @nedsk, (re:- your response (above) to reply #1966) Will you please explain what faith is not sufficient for, and give the Scriptures you refer to. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Faith alone is not sufficient. Scripture is clear in that point. Hello @nedsk, Would you please explain what you mean by this? That faith alone is not sufficient? Not sufficient for what exactly? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GodsGrace, It is not for you to place doubt upon the security of my position in Christ. My 'staying the course' as you say has nothing to do with the surety of my position in Christ. My love grew cold on more than one occasion, and I drifted away, sadly, to my own loss; but God...

Hello @GodsGrace, * The believer, by God's reckoning, has died with Christ, and is now walking before God in newness of life, in the spirit. * With respect, you fail to acknowledge the power of God in this regard. 'Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also...

'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.' (Joh 3:5-6) Hello @GodsGrace, There is a figure of speech...
