Doesn't Psalm 111:7-8 KJV say God's commandments "stand fast forever and ever" which includes the New Heaven and Earth? Also, if there was a law in heaven which Satan broke BEFORE sin entered the universe (Ezekiel 28:16 KJV; 1 John 3:4 KJV), why should anyone be surprised that that same law...

"By their FRUITS ye shall know them." IOW, does their profession of mouth match the actions of their hands?

ECF = "Early Church Fathers"...y'know, like Josephus, who's testimony about the real, literal existence of Jesus is invaluable to us in a time when even "conservative" politicians call Jesus a myth? England's greatest Protestant prophecy teacher H. Grattan Guinness wrote this, and O how it...

Yes, we first make the "choice" to obey, and then the Spirit is imparted to us enabling and empowering us to obey. That's why the wicked cannot partake of the Holy Spirit, for "the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God". "Israel" here refers to "the Israel of God: the church" comprised...

A supervisor used to ask the low performers if their problem was their "skill or will" meaning, are they in need of further skill training, or is it that they just don't care? Over 60 percent of "Christian" men admit they view pornography...one wonders how many of the remaining 40 percent were...

Are "Christians" really dead to their old ways of rebellion? If so, why do they fight so hard to excuse disobedience?

Unbelief of what? That is the crux of the issue. You know what the entire Christian world refuses to believe? That we are to do "all" that our heavenly Father has commanded us to do. (Luke 17:10 KJV) A person can stand up in church and confess he's given his heart to the Lord and now wants stop...

The OP of this thread is a nightmare to the OSAS/Hypergrace crowd. It exposes their License to Sin for what it is: a false gospel which says we may obtain by dead faith that which can only be obtained by living faith: eternal life.

No Dan, copy and paste is bulldookey. Let's hear your reasons why we SDAs preach a false Gospel, though it is YOU who can't figure out something so simple as which day the seventh day of the week is, OK?

It's important to note that Jesus considered doing "all that your heavenly Father hath commanded" as unprofitable. How much less profitable is our imperfect obedience - our "less than all" that our heavenly Father commands? By this, Jesus puts to rest the idea of earning salvation via works...

Do you agree that the lack of works proves a lack of faith? Bear in mind, 1 John 2:3-4 KJV

I think you're right - he didn't understand anything about anything, but what I'm sure he had was a WILLINGNESS to do whatever the Savior told him to do. Likewise, "when you have done all that your heavenly Father hath commanded you to do, you are to say, We are unprofitable servants, we have...

What about Acts 5:32 KJV?

I think what is necessary to be saved is that we consent to a belief in ALL Jesus said, including our need to repent, which is a purely mental action of choice, not outward works. Works merely demonstrate our choice to believe and repent or the choice to not. IOW, works are not what saves us or...

Sorry but not familiar with Ransom Theory. I do know he hated the idea Jesus had to shed His blood to save us, much like Catholicism. I remember hearing about a priest who praised the song "How Great Thou Art" and sang it loudly, but when he got to the part about "And when I think that God...

So, we should interpret "all things through Christ which strengthens me" as "all things except turning from sin"?

Good thing most second century Christians ignored this horrible counsel, according to Sozeman and Scholasticus, right? When it comes to the ECF, I find they're more credible as church historians than disseminators of truth. For instance, Origen might as well have been a Luciferian (maybe was...

If we believe Jesus was serious when He said keeping His commandments is what those who love Him will do (John 14:15 KJV) and calling Him Lord Lord without doing what He's commanded us to do is rebuke worthy (Luke 6:46 KJV), then that belief should result in keeping all Ten of His commandments...

We don't know if Christians were observing the Sabbath commandment which says to rest from labor and work on the seventh day? I just posted two quotes from dudes who lived back then. The Mosaic Law was nailed "to His Cross" but the Ten Commandments "stand fast forever and ever and are done in...

Plenty o' people getting baptized but not many repenting of sin. They go down dry pagans and come up wet pagans. Baptism - whether in the name of Jesus or the Father/Son/Holy Spirit is totally meaningless if there's no repentance, and the only "spirit" these wet pagans recieve is the spirit of...
