The word of God is sufficiently contained in the scriptures produced by the apostles and prophets of God through the Holy Spirit. There is no need for anything else; it is complete. That you think that more is needed is an afront to God.

Yes the "you" are the church. The "we" are the divinely inspired messengers of God, His apostles and prophets. You, mailmandan, are neither.

And you have done it again. You have changed the meaning of the word faith as it is used in scripture. "Muster up faith in Christ thereby believing Him" ? ? ? That is a completely nonsensical statement. Faith in Christ IS believing Him. But it is more than just believing Christ, it is...

And how, exactly, do you think that happens? Do you believe that God talks to you directly? That is not what 1 Thessalonians 1:5 is saying. Paul is once again affirming his own divine revelation, It has nothing to do with you, personally. When he stated in the last part of that verse, "You...

Another seriously wrong message about election. Your view of God makes Him a really terrible ogre who has created most of mankind for the simple purpose of eternal condemnation. It is a most abominable and hateful description of God and is likely at the heart of all that is wrong with the...

I agree with most of that. Salvation, like being forgiven, is a state of being. The unpardonable sin, I believe, is doing evil and claiming it is being done in God's name, i.e., by the direction of the Holy Spirit. I think much of the evils of Islam fall into that category. For what it is...

What passage are you talking about?

I don't know what you mean by that.

I screwed up the post #261. I meant to say "Of course there was death of all biologicals was/is an integral part of creation." I have corrected it.

Anytime someone tells me that or something similar, I know immediately to dismiss it as bogus information, unless of course it is accompanied by some sign, wonder or miracle to authenticate the source.

Of course there was death of all biologicals was/is an integral part of creation

From Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: Foreknow, Foreknowledge A. Verb. proginosko (G4267), "to know before" (pro, "before," ginosko, "to know"), is used (a) of divine knowledge, concerning (1) Christ, 1Pe_1:20, RV, "foreknown" (KJV, "foreordained"); (2) Israel as...

Why would they need access to the tree of life before they disobeyed God if there was no death? Clearly the purpose tree of life was to protect against death before they sinned. Once they sinned, God took away their access to that tree.

No, not according to Genesis 3:22.

Yes, righteousness is imputed, but faith is not.

Because physical death is not the result of sin. Spiritual death is the result of sin. The wages of sin is not physical death. Physical death is the natural result as created of all living things. We know that because if there was no physical death, there would have been no need for the tree...

Faith is not imputed! ! !

But you are not dead in your trespasses and sins until you trespass and/or sin. Genesis 5:3 is clearly speaking about the physical image not the spiritual image which is God (Gen 9:6). The sins of the father which are visited upon his sons are physical results if any of the sins of the father...

I believe that impossibility in Hebrews 6 is poorly if not wrongly state. The NASB has corrected it, sort of. Heb 6:4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, Heb 6:5 and have tasted the...

That is simply wrong. Belief is a noun. The verb from is to believe. Faith is a noun. There is no direct verb form in English, but the relevant verb is to have faith. In the Greek the noun is πίστις [pistis], it means faith or belief; the verb form is πιστεύω [pisteuō], it means to...
