One thing I've noticed about antinomians is they cannot discern the difference between "Christian Origination" and "Christian Obligation". Everyone knows about the origin of Christian life: "For ye are saved by grace through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of...

You're preaching to the choir. I'm the first to say the Presumptuous Man is going to split hell wide open...because he has no love for Jesus, because if we love Jesus at all, we'll want to stop doing the things that made necessary His death on the Cross in the first place :)

You do realize that Hebrews 4:9-10 says the opposite of what you say, right? "It is therefore the duty of the people of God to keep the Sabbath. For he that has entered into His rest, he has ceased from his own works, as God did from His." Hebrews 4:9 (Lamsa) Peshitta Yes, right there in our...

How do you identify which humans need to be told about Acts 2:38 KJV?

Whoa! Hypocrites are saved? Not so. God leads us to repentance, but I don't buy into Calvinist thinking which says God both leads us to and then does the repenting for us - it's our job to choose to repent. These "hypocrites" are lost, who "after thy hardness and impenitent heart" are destined...

yes, that was a typo, thanks.

A concise summation of the issue is found in 1 John 2:3-4 KJV: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the Truth (Jesus) is not in him." So, if we believe "in" Jesus, we'll also believe "all...

I'm a "Textus Receptus Only" Christian LOL I have ZERO faith in the Alexandrian or the Western MSS families: can we trust anything that came out of Alexandria, the very capital of satanic occultism itself, or the Western (Roman Catholic) family where after 2,000 years, Catholicism still can't...

Time and time again, I encounter professing Christians like you who don't understand the difference between the Just Man who falls and rises again by God's hand of grace, and the Presumptuous Man who climbs down into the filth, gets comfortable, swats away the uplifting hand of Jesus, and pushes...

Me too. It means the Just Man who doesn't cover his sins, but confesses and forsakes them is covered by God's mercy. As he treads the Path of the Just, he may slip and fall into sin, but cries out for God's mercy to reach down and lift him up and place him back on the path. The Presumptuous...

These "many" can be none other than grace-saved saints and the evidence is right there in verse 12. These saints allowed abounding iniquity to kill their love cold and dead, making them even more spit-worthy from Jesus' mouth than the rejected Laodiceans who are merely lukewarm.

We mustn't discount "searing the conscience with a hot iron". Esau couldn't find repentance, not because God didn't provide opportunity, but because he blinded himself to it by searing his conscience through steadfast rebellion. Paul says "quench not the spirit". When a thirst is "quenched"...

But, in the previous verse the men asked "What shall we do?"...and Peter replied, "Repent". How can we make this appear to teach anything else than what is plainly said here?

We can't allow one verse to teach the opposite of another...we must find a wayu to harmonizes both. 2 Timothy obviously refers to "give them opportunity to repent", which is what "leadeth thee to repentance" refers to. Otherwise, Acts 2:38 KJV is an uninspired verse, right or wrong?

Wait, you've abandoned the RCC but you're not a "protestant"? How's that possible? "Protestantism" at its core means "protest against the teachings of the RCC". To split even finer hairs, the only true "protestant" recognized by the RCC is my denomination. From the RCC itself: "Reason and...

That's how I read them. This morning, I logged onto my computer and a thought flashed in my brain to surf some porn...but I immediately thought, get behind me Satan, for it is written "Thou shalt not commit adultery" but my love for Jesus echoes the sentiment "of course, thou shalt not commit...

So, what about Acts 2:38 KJV, where the apostle says it is our responsibility to choose to repent? Is there a Calvinist way of interpreting the verse otherwise? Because on its face it clearly says repentance is something the individual must do, not something that's done for him.

True, the Ten Commandments were "codified" for a people enslaved in Egypt and ignorant of truth...but the law already existed before then. I think "ad" and "olam" in the Psalms refers to "eternity" seeing that they are used in the context of the affairs of God, namely, His writing of the Ten...

There's only TEN, right? Is it really that hard to not have other gods before God? Or, to not worship idols? Or, to not blaspheme? Or, to not commit adultery? I worked 30 hours OT last week so believe me when I say today was a much needed Sabbath rest for me. It is really that hard to not click...

The Pharisaic children of Satan paid off their satanic brethren to give false testimony about Jesus in order to find ground for which to condemn Him...have the tactics of the children of Satan changed after 2,000 years? Today, the same false ground upon which to condemn Christ's followers is as...
