By that logic, it could be said that God is judging people of color; since COVID-19 seems to be discriminating against them from what I have been seeing in the news reports.

All those who believe in Jesus Christ will go to heaven (Colossians 1:5, 1 Peter 1:4).

How so?

I believe that PSA is Paul's gospel... To deny it is to leave a void which would have to be filled with a different gospel. And whatever that is, if it is preached, it will bring condemnation on the one who preaches it (Galatians 1:6-9). If PSA is not Paul's gospel, then the majority of...

It remains that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins; and that this is the testimony of scripture (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Combine that with the statement in Romans 3:26 that God is both just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus; and I think you have PSA. Because that is what...

The word "we" does indeed refer to the person speaking and to the people he is speaking to. In one sense this is true. As sanctified believers we "do not sin" and "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9); because sin is rendered dead within us (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8). In another sense it...

Calvary is the narrow way. Surely a strait path to take up your cross and follow Him.

Which verse do you believe? Romans 6:14 or 1 Corinthians 9:21? They seem to contradict each other; but there is most assuredly a valid reconciliation of them.

PSA is not contradicted by holy scripture; even if it is not fully substantiated by it. Otherwise it would never be seen as a valid doctrine. I believe that the Holy Spirit teaches us when we "connect the dots"...at least that is the impression that I get from 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv); which...

The way to life is narrow; and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:13-14).

And therefore, God keeping it for them is dependent on their trust. Now the Lord can also keep their trust intact; but they would have to trust Him to do that for them.

The Holy Spirit also needs to be a factor.

Jhn 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I know that I am kept by the power of the Lord through faith (1 Peter 1:5). This means that if I were to lose faith, I would no longer be kept. Of course, I am also sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5) so that faith will be maintained by Him...

The way is presented to all; but it is in fact narrow: in that Jesus is the only way.

Jesus said, Jhn 3:6, That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. We have all been born of the flesh; and some of us have been born of the Spirit. Rom 7:18, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is...

The way is narrow in that Jesus is the way. There is only one way to heaven...through Him. Not through Buddhism or Hinduism or Confucianism or Islam (or any other religion for that matter)...through Jesus Christ alone. We are accused of being "narrow-minded" because we hold to such a view.

Pro 20:27, The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Why does it "pain you" that we finally agree on something?

I know and do not deny that I have a persecution complex. However, I believe that this complex is based on an understanding of what the scripture teaches in such passages as Matthew 5:10-12, Luke 6:22-23, and 2 Timothy 3:10-12. In other words, it is a biblical attitude.
