If that's true, then Hebrews 7:12 ought not to be included in holy scripture. What Jesus actually said is that one jot or tittle will by no means pass from the law until heaven and earth pass away. So the change in law has no subtractions.

Methinks thou dost protest too much. In other words, the reality is that you believe in salvation by works; but are doing your best to deny that this is what you believe, because you know that it is an un-biblical stance for you to take. In Psalms 37:4, it is written that if we delight...

The works of the law, even if you are in Christ, do not have the power to save you. They are only the outworking of a salvation that comes solely through faith in Christ and His shed blood.

Are you asking for the reason for the hope that is within me? I will say to you clearly what my testimony is. I have typed it out in the testimony section of these boards (will post a link shortly). But I am saying that I have a specific style of ministry and I am not going to change it for...

Except that I am giving scripture to support them. As a matter of fact, the pearls are verses of scripture. My rationale is found in Proverbs 12:23 and Proverbs 15:7. These seem to contradict but I have found a way to reconcile them in my style of preaching. You can look them up or...

Your scenario has within it a concept of salvation by works...something that is categorically denied by the word of the Lord. The righteousness of the Lord is given to us as a free gift (Romans 5:15-19, Romans 6:23) and this righteousness is practical in our lives (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19...

If someone is only out to argue...and if, in casting my pearls before them, they would only trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend me...it is wiser for me to conceal the information so that I am not casting my pearls before swine....while at the same time dispersing information...

If your computer or phone doesn't contain the Bible program so that you can scroll on the reference and get the verse, it may take for you a little bit more work. If you are really interested in what is being said, you can look up the verse in your own Bible. In this way, I sift out those who...

So then, the one who is born again...with full, experiential knowledge of Christ, has everlasting life (John 6:47)... I'm not sure how you don't see how this means they cannot lose their salvation. If they lost their salvation, their spiritual life would come to an end...and therefore it could...

The reality is that God exists outside of time; and that therefore He sees ahead of time who will come to Him and then exerts every bit of effort to redeem them; and does not waste time on the unredeemed (non-elect). Because it is written, that "Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:8a). So...

No; because for the most part I try to strike a balance between Proverbs 12:23 and Proverbs 15:7 in my posts. You know, you can scroll your mouse over the reference and the verse will come up on your screen. But I also am being obedient to Matthew 7:6 by concealing the scriptures in question...

Yes...and we do this by reading the Bible. God does indeed look at us through rose-colored glasses...He looks at us and sees the blood of Jesus. Which does not mean that we are without sin. Scripture (1 John 1:8) is clear that if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth...

Tithing predated the law. And Jesus' words apply to all of us (see Hebrews 1:1-2).

Don't you believe His Spirit? Every word of holy scripture is inspired by Him. There is fear in faith (Hebrews 11:7). See 2 Corinthians 5:11 (kjv). 2Co 5:11, Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in...

And there, you just contradicted the scripture that was given. There is righteousness under the law; only, it is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6, Matthew 23:25-28).

If you go back and read the entire post...you will see that I was talking to @BreadOfLife at that particular juncture.

Do you contend that a man can fall away and yet will continue to have everlasting life? Because such an idea is heretical to say the least.

So, by all means, tell me how the immediate context of John 5:24, John 6:47, and John 10:27-30, nullifies the plain meaning of those verses. Teach me!

In Luke 8:13, the person believes for a while, and then falls away....so they never had everlasting life. But in John 6:47, believing means you currently have everlasting life....this is a life that will last for ever; and therefore it can never come to an end...which means that the person who...

my response (this is what I had said previously, which you obviously ignored): See Matthew 7:21-23.
