    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    We are hearing directly from God through His written Word! How would any man know Christ without first hearing the gospel written in the Bible proclaimed unto them that all may know Him? Romans 10:8-16 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that...

    Psalm 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

    A recent exchange with a reasoning AI pertaining to Matthew 24:15-30

    Might try asking Partial Preterits how 70 AD fits since this was not the only time the city and temple, with Jews subjected to massive deaths, and some of them taken into captivity to be servants by their captors has occurred. How can 70 AD be "great tribulation, such as was not since the...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    How shall any man believe unto salvation without hearing the word of God? When we hear the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed, all who will be saved through the power of the Holy Spirit receive faith to believe. Because eternal life does not come through human birth. We are given eternal...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Salvation is of the Lord! He shall save His people from their sins. Those who are eternally saved respond through repentance and faith because they have been saved, NOT to be saved!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    What do you mean by "not having anything to do with us"? One who hears the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed and believes in their heart, believes by grace through faith that is the work of God toward those who are eternally saved. We don't believe in our heart if our heart after...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Is that what you believe? It certainly is NOT what I believe, nor is it what I've said!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Yes, salvation from start to finish begins, and also ENDS with God who alone is able to eternally save whosoever is born again!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    But you do say it is by our good deeds that we are ETERNALLY saved. That ignores God saving believers to the uttermost through Christ who lives and makes intercession before the Father for we who always fall short in this life. Hebrews 7:25 (KJV) Wherefore he is able also to save them to...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    What part of man before they are saved is Paul speaking of being "dead in trespasses and sins" if not spiritual death without exception of every man except Jesus? What part must be made alive (quickened) that is dead in trespasses and sins? Not only are we, who were (spiritually) dead in...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Where have I taught that I think everyone is saved? We are saved by God's grace through faith that is the gift of God to as many as our Lord God shall call. We are eternally saved through Him, according to God willing and working through the Spirit of Christ in us. Acts 2:39 (KJV) For the...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    You're teaching that we repent, obey and continue in His words though our good works. But the only way we are able to repent, obey and continue in His words is by the power of God working in us. Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    You're teaching a doctrine of perfectionism, that no man can attain! Again, if our salvation is dependent upon how good we are, then who can be saved? To be consistent will you also teach that we must sell what we have and give to the poor to have treasure in heaven and follow Him? Matthew...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    If our salvation (eternal life) is conditioned upon how good we are, who then shall be saved? For NONE of us are righteous, not one! Salvation is NOT dependent upon my goodness, rather it is through the goodness of God that we are eternally saved.

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Verse 7:21 is NOT depicting those who are eternally saved by doing the will of God! It's showing the action of those who profess they are saved saying they know the Lord, doing good deeds in His name who are in FACT lawless! Those depicted here: Matthew 7:15 (KJV) Beware of false prophets...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Has nothing to do with Calvin! It is FACT, all mankind is physically born, spiritually dead, the result of the fall. Remember, many shall stand before Him at the judgment saying, "Lord, Lord".....and He will say to them depart from Me I do not know you!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Faith is a noun which comes not from man to save themselves. But believe(ing) is a verb which is the work of God according to grace given us that we shall be obedient to Him.

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    "That" refers to SALVATION! How is man saved? By GRACE through FAITH, and this (salvation) is not of man but of God that no man can boast!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Because mankind is NOT born knowing Jesus! Knowing there is a God is a good thing, but it is in knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior who gives us eternal life. We must KNOW Him to be eternally saved! When we hear the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed and by grace through faith we believe in...

    Revelation 20:15 What does it mean?

    We either choose to believe Christ when He tells us the life we receive when we are born again is FOREVER, or we can choose to force contradictions into the Word of God. There is a difference in being blotted out of the book that registers our mortal birth, and the book of life the registers...
