Consider Romans 6:6 and Colossians 2:11. "The body of sin", "the body of the sins of the flesh" is both destroyed (kjv) and cut away from us as an operation of spiritual circumcision. This is not to say that 1 John 1:8 is null and void. But it is to say that sin is *as good as* eradicated...

Of course; as I said, a living faith. Faith without works is dead.

Actually, in Galatians 3:10, Paul is speaking of the curse of the law. It is, in fact, false teaching; intended to undermine the plain meaning of Galatians 3:21. Nope. It is in Philippians 3:1-6, correct? persecuting the church is listed as different from Paul's blamelessness concerning...

Believing in these things (that Jesus is the Son of God) with a living faith is indeed salvational. 1 John 4:15, 1 John 5:4-5.

I would say that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins is a narrow entrance into the kingdom!

I agree with you, @Enoch111; But I would also say that this reprieve from listening to my pastor has given me a different outlook on the Bible that is not colored by his perspective; and that this is in fact a good thing. I do think that there are some pastors who are in it to rule...to...

Notice the context given to this statement by the apostle Paul: Gal 3:10, For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Gal 3:11, But that no man is...

Of course, if someone preaches a different gospel than what Paul preached, they will be forever accursed (Galatians 1:6-9). So I would think it would be important to have a handle on what that gospel is before one goes evangelizing for a different gospel because they were unaware of the literal...

Remember also that Jesus said that in His Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, He would have told us. He is not saying by that, that there are many religions in God's kingdom. Because in the immediate context of that statement we find Him speaking forth the reality of John 14:6.

The only point that I would make here is that if we say that we do not have indwelling sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth isn't in us. But since indwelling sin can be rendered dead, we don't have to anymore commit sin and it can even be true of us that we do not commit sin and cannot sin...

Hold on a sec...are you saying that you believe that Jesus sinned? The Trinity exists in three distinct Persons. Yet, the scripture is clear that He became sin for us in order that we might become the righteousness of the Lord in Him. Because He didn't suffer for His own sins but for ours...

If the kjv adds to God's word, those who created it would have had visible consequences, in that the plagues of the book of Revelation would be added to them. But if other translations take away from it, the consequences for those who subscribe to those subtractions are invisible. See...

Wrong.

It is not heresy; plain and simple. It is in fact a major aspect of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It would be nice if we could all be obedient to 1 Corinthians 1:10... However, since people have differing views and all seem to want to propagate them, it would seem that we are all working toward the fulfillment of the scripture in question as a command to us.

@Candidus, You have every right in this country to reject the plenary inspiration of the kjv. But I will say this... That my "narrow-minded" view of the kjv-superior position is something that the scripture itself points out may in fact be the way to salvation. Consider: Mat 7:13, Enter ye...

That's because it is a basic first truth that God is an infinite being.

Since Noah, David, and Abraham were born again by looking forward to Messiah's coming, their righteousness was not as "filthy rags."

Leaven = doctrine; and leaven leavening the whole lump is referring to saints in the new testament being corrupted in their theology by false doctrine. This is true in one sense. No amount of doing righteousness will bring forgiveness of sins. In another sense, the record of our sins does...

No, the effort originates in the Holy Ghost.
