    The Decoy Gospel

    The bifurcation of "works of merit" and the "presence of works" is a false dichotomy. If someone does not repent and believe, they are not saved. While God precedes and gives the ability, it is impossible for God to force someone to repent against their will. The fact that the person is able to...

    Shall we discuss this?

    Your "Appeal to Ignorance" is not very compelling.

    The Decoy Gospel

    Nonsense! One thing that is impossible to change... the evidence that there is a dead branch on a tree is proof that there was once life in that branch! "Judas by transgression fell...." Generally speaking, you cannot fall from where you were never at. I do not know a person alive that would not...

    Shall we discuss this?

    Who is "he"? One fact that is irrefutable, the "dictionary" does not exist, but the manuscripts used in the Modern translations are nearly a Thousand Years older than the late and limited one's used for the King James! The text matches the Scripture quotes of the Alexandrian text if the Early...

    The Decoy Gospel

    If you cannot be saved without the accompanying fruit/works, and a fruitless faith is a dead faith that cannot save, then we are certainly justified by works as James says. By what will a Christian be judged? Their faith? Or their works?

    The Decoy Gospel

    An ad hominem attack is an answer? “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." “as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” A dead faith never saved anybody.

    The Decoy Gospel

    Strange... somehow one or two verses erase the command of "works" in Scripture to blur out or disappear! It is clear, he who abides in the Vine WILL bear much fruit. There is no such thing as a fruitless\workless Christian! Ironically, those that demand a workless/fruitless salvation, demand...

    Shall we discuss this?

    Because Scripture says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1. The "Word was God." Verse 14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" is irrefutably speaking of Jesus. This is not Modalism as some propose, because verse 1 says, "and...

    Shall we discuss this?

    FROM.... the Greek word "apo" which NEVER means BEFORE! If you do not even understand English, it is highly unlikely that you will understand the significance of the original Greek text and its meaning. Apo, from.... You are here :oops:--------> From, since, apo. Before, proton, proteron...

    Shall we discuss this?

    Yet, you have done nothing to show that "from or "since" is the same meaning as "before", even in English. You have only proved that language is diverse, and it is not difficult to find the same meaning using alternative cognates in English. From (not before) 1611 to 1768, there have been a...

    Michelle Obama's speech

    She is the most unpatriotic Former first Lady in history. She even said that until her husband was nominated, it was the first time in her life that she was proud to be an American. I would be more charismatic speaking from my 11 million dollar home... yet she is not so compassionate that she...

    Michelle Obama's speech

    Contrast three self-styled "suspects" that want to trigger a Civil War with the Tens of Thousands of Criminal Arsonists, Looters, and Murderers with their Racist Democrat Leftist Rampage threatening people on the streets! If this is an argument, then attacking and killing three German people in...

    Michelle Obama's speech

    When you literally have to invoke the Boogieman to defend Leftist Anarchy, you may have a credibility problem for your position.
