You keep denying the reality of 1 John 1:8; and therefore you are a false teacher. Have you accessed these writings? I do not consider myself to have access to them because I do not want to be deceived by gnosticism and therefore I am not interested in those writings. But apparently you have...

Fine, don't discuss it with me any further. This means that I have the last word. Indwelling sin is a reality according to 1 John 1:8; but this does not mean that we as sanctified believers live by it (that is, the principle of indwelling sin). For it can indeed be rendered dead (Romans 6:6...

Yes, the Lord instills within us the faith that we need to be able to keep our salvation. He is the one that keeps us through our faith (Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5); which He instills within us through the Holy Ghost as a fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) and as a gift (1...

:rolleyes:

Yet you claim that you are without sin...which is in denial of many verses of holy scripture. I did sin even last night; and I confessed it, and am forgiven; for 1 John 1:9 is a faithful promise of holy scripture. The reality is that as long as we abide in Christ we do not sin; but when we...

I have not falsely accused you. I have said that Christian teachers have taught me what is the gnostic teachings but that I don't have access to gnostic writings themselves; by which a man might be deceived by gnosticism if he were to read them. Do you have access to such writings? But...

We have redemption and are in Christ through faith (Romans 5:2). This is unbiblical (see 1 Peter 1:5 (kjv), 1 John 5:18). 1Pe 1:5, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1Jo 5:18, We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not...

I believe that you are simply willfully blind to what the scriptures are saying in these verses; for they clearly say, "God and His Father." question 1) who is God's Father, and 2) who is God here.

And of course, since you aren't the one who called me to do that, I don't need your approval. I find that in reading many of your posts, you have an appearance of righteousness in what you post; however there is a hint of salvation by works in all of what you say to people. Therefore, I...

The believer who falls away will not be in heaven (Luke 8:13). Even a believer who works iniquity will be cast into hell, if you consider someone who commits iniquity to be a believer. Matthew 7:23, Matthew 13:41-42.

Since we abide and endure by faith, it is a moot point. Abiding and enduring will not be by self-effort but will be done because your faith in Christ is genuine and because you understand the warnings of holy scripture.

I have been noticing, one after another, steps towards the mark and they are becoming more frequent. When these things begin to pass, look up; for your redemption draweth nigh! Rev 13:16, And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right...

And we have shown you by the statement "God and His Father" that God (the Son) has a Father.

It is biblically viable this story about two different people who went, one to heaven, and the other to hell. It is even a picture of what the Bible teaches about heaven and hell. I'm not certain why you, @Episkopos, would think that this is based on a lie. If you really think that, there...

Shame on you, @CL. 1 John 1:8 is clear in saying that if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Therefore if what you say is true (that in saying we have sin we are slapping Jesus in the face), we would not be lying to say that we have sin. Because the...

It doesn't say there that you will abide for ever as long as you continue to presently do the will of God; While by definition, abiding in Christ means that you will continue to do the will of God. And what I am saying by this, is that our abiding is not dependent on our obedience, i.e. we do...

It gives me a biblical opinion. God called Ezekiel to be a watchman for the house of Israel; and He has called me to be a watchman on these boards; whether I am qualified or not. However, I have heard it said that God does not call the qualified but He qualifies the called. Therefore, because...

I didn't say in that post that the believer who turns away from Christ can ever come back. I said that if anyone clings to Christ, they cannot lose their salvation. But I will say this: if anyone thinks that they have lost their salvation, John 6:37 would tell you that if you come to Christ...

It goes to show that denial of Christ's Deity is a heart issue and not an intellectual one.

The law has the power to convert the soul (Psalms 19:7 (kjv); it is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24); it shows us that we are sinners in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20). The law is a schoolmaster to lead every man to Christ; therefore even Gentiles are under the law. It...
