Accusing me of being a liar is unbecoming, but I forgive you for doing so. Go sell your car if you don't need one; and go around walking for the rest of your life.

Stop putting words in my mouth. In saying what I said, I was pointing out a line of reasoning and that is all. I was not saying those things myself. It seems that you like to dodge the question, friend; and that you are very good at doing so. It is not of him who wills nor of him who runs...

I think that you are misunderstanding me. If you would look at some of my recent posts in some of the other threads, I think that you would see that I believe that we are to deal with our present sins. The Father looks down at us and sees the perfect life, blood, and righteousness of Jesus...

If "water" is referring to natural childbirth in John 3:5, then it is not referring to baptism. And likewise, if it is referring to baptism, it is not referring to natural childbirth. One of these interpretations is the correct one; and the other one isn't. Personally, I believe that it is...

No one is sinless; while it is possible to cease from committing sins. Pro 1:6, To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. No, not possible. We all have indwelling sin. While it is possible to cease from sinning (repent). God will...

Hi @GodsGrace, It is good to see you here again after so long a time.

That is not the answer. If the law of Christ condemns the believer who doesn't live up to it, then violating the law of Christ on even one point = condemnation (see Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48). There is a reality to the fact that if one is born again of the Holy Spirit, there...

This is what it means to be born again: 2Co 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 1Jo 3:5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jo 3:6, Whosoever abideth in him...

If we say that we have no sin, we are not saved (1 John 1:8).

The one verse that refutes the epitome of what @Behold is saying, every time, is 1 John 1:8. 1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jo 1:9, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all...

Who says that what I believe isn't sanctioned by the Bible? You apparently are ignoring verses that speak of propitiation in the Bible; and are also ignoring the definition of that word. But we have already argued about this. It is obvious that you are not going to come over to my pov and I...

I liked your post because it has truth to it. However, I believe that there are those pastors who preach that you must tithe because they believe that the windows of heaven will not be opened unless the whole congregation tithes. And these pastors may not be in it for the money. They may...

I have a question for you. For the believer, does the law of Christ condemn the believer who doesn't live up to it? Personally, I believe that we are forgiven of past, present, and future sins as Christians; and that therefore our relationship to the law has changed. How can the law condemn...

The answer is...no.

There is no such thing as salvation works, in the sense of works that save a man. There are works that stem out of a salvation already given. It is not a choice to live in a new nature that saves us...it is believing in what Jesus did for us on the Cross that saves us. Thus a new nature is...

Water baptism appears to have an affect on the faith of the ones baptized: Luk 7:29, And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. Luk 7:30, But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not...

The order of Melchizedec is simply a priestly order other than the priesthood of Levi that Jesus was a part of; because He was not of the tribe of Levi but of Judah (Hebrews 7:13-14). It also has to do with, not a carnal commandment but the power of an endless life (Hebrews 7:16). And, because...

In bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit I will not be in violation of any law, before the Lord (Galatians 5:22-23). Thus I have a righteousness that comes from God apart from the law; which is nevertheless attested to by the law and the prophets (Romans 3:21).
