First of all, it is not false, but biblical (Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7). Your arguments in the attempt to strip these scriptures away from the consciousness of the reader, are just that: an attempt to take away from the word of God with the use of arguments (see Revelation 22:19)...

You are always the one to tell me what I believe and don't believe; as if you know what is in my heart and mind. Do you think you're Jesus? Judge ye not; lest ye be judged. Matthew 7:1.

I am in agreement with these things. The imputed righteousness of Christ (which you say I deny; but which I affirm) does indeed belong to the believer by declaration only. In imputing righteousness, or in justifying us (declaring us righteous), God calls those things which be not as though...

Most recently, I have gone forward to rededicate my life to the Lord as the result of four messages at a conference in Anaheim; the fourth of which was given by Franklin Graham. I feel that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me; telling me in His own way that I have been something of a jerk...

Mar 10:24, And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 1Ti 6:17, Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in...

It is meant to be cryptic and a message for the church. If I explain the meaning, then the world will know the meaning of it. It is intended as being like a parable. If you do not understand the meaning intended by the Holy Spirit, then I would suggest asking Him about it.

I want to mention that the Bible warns us against false prophets and teachers who will come "turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness" (kjv) or "grace into a license for sin." (NIV) (Jude 1:3-4). This is in effect the false teaching that has been growing in the church for quite some...

So, again I ask you: do you believe that righteousness is imputed only; or do you believe that it can also be imparted? If you cannot or will not answer, I conclude that you are denying outwardly what you believe inwardly. For some reason you do not want to admit that you believe that...

Not necessarily. For 1 John 3:9, even if hyperbole, teaches us that at the very least we do not have to sin as believers in the Lord. And Romans 8:12 would tell us the same. 1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. I just want to mention that...

To whom was the prophet Jeremiah responsible for discipline? The answer is, I am accountable to the Lord. If a man must find accountability from man before he can prophesy, no one would prophesy...they would be considered as seeking the office of prophet and might be accused of selfish...

Not to support prosperity teaching, but in answer to your question, yes: Luk 8:1, And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, Luk 8:2, And certain women, which had been...

But I fear that I am stooping to your level in some of my responses to you...I see that some of your sinful attitude is rubbing off on me, even as we speak. Therefore, I am not certain that I want to continue with this conversation. After all, it is written, 1Co 15:33, Be not deceived: evil...

So, again I ask you: do you believe that righteousness is imputed only; or do you believe that it can also be imparted? If you cannot or will not answer, I conclude that you are denying outwardly what you believe inwardly. For some reason you do not want to admit that you believe that...

Passages on the subject: 1Ti 6:5, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 1Ti 6:6, But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1Ti 6:7, For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we...

Not so well and clearly said...for it is not the truth of holy scripture. Clearly, Ephesians 1:1 shows us that all of Ephesians is written to the faithful in Christ Jesus; and we would be fools to exclude Gentile Christians from this grouping. Ephesians 1:3-12 is not therefore speaking to Jews...

Concerning the title of this thread: If what you say is true, then Jesus and the twelve are all accursed according to the writings of Paul (in Galatians 1:6-9).

The entire book of Ephesians is written to the faithful in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:1). Therefore, Ephesians 1:3-12 is to Gentile Christians as well as Jews.

Who says I can't admit it? you didn't even give me a chance to do so; and as a matter of fact, I did admit it when I acknowledged that your quotes were accurate. It was just a theory. Perhaps there is some other reason why they departed from what the scripture clearly teaches on the matter...

1 John 1:8 tells us that all of us have the element of sin dwelling in our mortal flesh; and that therefore none of us can say that we are without sin. Sin is not eradicated from us the moment we get born again. It remains within us. That being said, we must understand that sin as an element...

The question we should be asking is, "What is the biblical view here?" It is written, 1Co 11:18, For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 1Co 11:19, For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are...
