“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His ‘seed’ remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1Jn 3:9). “His seed” is not the Lord Jesus, who would never be styled as such, but rather in His title. Nor is it the Holy Spirit, who also is always named such. It is...

Hi Matt, and thanks for your reply! Just wanted to share some Scripture: Mar 16:16, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Jesus said in Mat 7:13,14, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth...

Christians still sin, so what’s the difference between them and the world when it comes to sinning? When believers sin it is not intentional, “willful,” (Heb 10:26) nor “presumptuous” (Num 15:25). Paul said he now never willfully sins. He reveals that it is the “old man” or sin nature within...

They depart from a false profession of faith in the Lord Jesus.

Hello again, and wow, you are very correct concerning Catholicism. I believe if members knew what the clergy within Catholicism believe, those who really want truth would leave the organization; but regardless where you go, truth is the most sought-less by many professing faith in God and the...

Amen, and everyone reborn will always choose to please God, because He works this in everyone reborn (Phl 2:13)!

Thanks, I see what you mean. I think if we look from the perspective of eternal life, it's plainly seen that eternal life can't be taken away, because it's eternal! (if that addresses your reply)

Not sure what you're trying to say Brother.

I agree with all in you said! If one "falls," it's not from grace, but from a false profession of Grace!

Hi, and Amen; or it isn't eternal salvation!

Galatians 5:4 “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” “Whosoever” is not a confirmation but a supposition, thus it can be, it’s as if you have fallen from grace. These Galatians were attempting to be saved by the Law and...

“To renew them again” - Implying that they had been before renewed, or had been true Christians. The word “again” - πάλιν palin - supposes this; and this passage, therefore, confirms the considerations suggested above, showing that they were true Christians who were referred to. They had once...

We Gentile believers, who have not been under the bonds of the law and have the NT Scriptures, should consider how great is our privilege above the believing Jews in the early days of Christianity. They had only Moses and the prophets; and these did not know the great and wonderful change which...

We know with certainty that up to Acts 21:20, or some twenty-seven years after Pentecost, the many myriads (or ten-thousands) who believed were all zealous for the law. Among these James, who was a pillar at Jerusalem (along with Peter and John – Gal 2:9—NC), and even Paul too who “had come with...

I like how you see see this issue, but with me I think it's referring to the Word, because it's the only source of revelation (knowledge and prophecy) of God. I don't think it could refer to Heaven because whatever it is refers to that which is partial. "Perfect" can only refer to either Heaven...

The Bible is like a "mirror," and if we want to see how we're supposed to be and look like, we look at Scripture (scriptural mirror)! Paul's statement that "I know in part" means he only has partial knowledge of God 's Word at that time, because the other writers have yet at that time to write...

Hi Randy! I really like this reply, it covers everything. Many Christians are without much spiritual growth because of the lack of reading and studying the Word. It is what God used to "draw" us to the Lord Jesus, and causes us to "grow up unto Him in all things" (Eph 4:15). In the Father's...

Our blessed heavenly Father is always for us at all times, considering we’re always forgiven; we don’t go in and out of forgiveness - 1Jo 1:9 – which wouldn’t be necessary. If God ever forgives you for sin, you will always be forgiven for sin, because He ever forgives those He knows are saved...
