No, as I previously stated, the Unpardonable Sin is a sin for which pardon is not possible because pardon is not sought - the conscience has burned out and feels no impress of the Holy Spirit to seek it. Dying in unbelief is the consequence of committing the Unpardonable Sin, not the...

You lose your salvation when sin replaces God on the throne of your heart. The belief in OSAS - that both sin and salvation simultaneously occupy the throne of a man's heart - is a lie straight from the pits of hell.

Has anyone ever forced you to sin? Should a person feel good about crucifying the Son of God afresh and putting Him to an open shame? Do you believe all of Jesus' biddings are enablings? Do you understand that their is a Biblical distinction between stumbling into sin and deliberately sitting...

Why do you treat the idea of a "soul" as component of man, when the Bible plainly spells out what a "soul" is? "God formed man of the Dust of the ground (Body), breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life (Spirit of Life), and man BECAME a Living Soul." Genesis 2:7 Body+ Spirit = Living Soul...

Friend, I used to believe that until someone asked me if "I can do all things through Christ Which strengthens me" applies to everything or everything except obedience to the law. I realized I was trying to keep it in my own strength. Satan has never forced anyone to sin - it has always been by...

Thank you. Those who choose to focus on human weakness - and thus invent reasons for why their religious experience is fraught with continuous failure while presumptuously calling themselves "more than conquerors" - instead of focusing on the noble, royal, empowered character that Christ imparts...

You misappropriated Scripture in order to substantiate a false doctrine. Death is the cessation of life, not a continuation of it. Once you get that straight, then Eternal Torment becomes merely the flawed pagan logical extension of Satan's false idea of death which he presented as the first...

The only way anyone of us is "out from under the law" is if we are walking in obedience to both the letter and spirit of the Ten Commandments - which not a one of us can do except that Jesus live out His life through us and obey it for us. That's why the Ten Commandments are so offensive to...

Antinomianists suffer from Cognitive Dissonance. They consciously, readily accept that the Christian is saved by grace through faith alone - but, despite their cunningly devised arguments to the contrary, unconsciously admit that no Christian is at liberty to break the Ten Commandments. Their...

The KJV says Satan "trafficked" (peddled) lies. Why traffick this falsehood that I believe salvation starts with grace and ends with works? I believe the Bible: that it's only by grace through faith which produces works. Likewise, the absence of works evidences the absence of grace.

That's EXACTLY what Hebrews 4 says. Even Lamsa's Pishitta version says so. Any interpretation of Hebrews 4:9-10 that leaves out a connecting link between the Christian and the concept of rest from the Christian's work "as God did from His" is a distortion of the text. My link is simple: A...

If weekly Sabbath observance is impossible because "eternity has no time", then why does God say He's marking month to month and Sabbath to Sabbath? Sounds like it's more than possible - like what will be a perpetual institution.

Motivation. The most misunderstood concept in all of theology. Some claim any motivation whatsoever to live right is sinfully co-mingling grace and works - not knowing grace produces them. Others mistake good works motivated by love for God as merely premiums on a Lake of Fire insurance policy...

Why is it that when people go to preachers and say, "Preacher, I've decided to follow Jesus and I'm no longer going to live in sin with my partner!" ...and the preacher will say, "Hallelujah, praise God!" "I've decided to follow Jesus and give up drinking, smoking, and drugs!" "Hallelujah...

The Sabbath never pointed forward to anything. It is a memorial and a sign between God and His faithful that He is the God Who saves and sanctifies them. But, you want badly for it to point to something "future" so that it may be safely obsoleted like truly "future" elements of the Plan of...

I agree righteousness cannot be obtained by works. Jesus refers to those who do "all that your heavenly Father commands" as "unprofitable servants". How much less "profitable" are the imperfect works of we who, like stumbling children learning to walk, render imperfect obedience to God? We...

Not so. You cease to exist.

Is God the author of confusion? Of course not. So, if we interpret these verses in such a way as to create confusion, we may know we are misinterpreting Scripture. If we claim Paul's words here do away with the Ten Commandments, we make the Bible contradict itself, for the Ten Commandments are...

Why do you ask if God's rest is the seventh day Sabbath? It is clear that the "rest" He asks us to enter is "spiritual rest". The weekly Sabbath is "literal rest", which is the outward evidence of the inward rest - like baptism is the outward expression of the inward conversion from death to...

Yes, God mentioned His weekly Sabbath first, before giving the yearly feasts and sabbaths - and concludes by saying that those yearly sabbaths are "beside" the Sabbath of the Lord". Therefore, the "sabbaths" of Colossians 2:15 have as much to do with the ceremonial yearly sabbaths of Leviticus...
