I know that when it was effectively preached to me, the person preaching recognized that there would be a rejection in my heart concerning what he was saying; and he addressed it, so that I said to him, "no, that is not the case". But of course I was in denial of the truth of the matter, that I...

Psa 119:69, The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Freudian psychology is a lie that is forged against the true believer; with such tenets as persecution complex (which comes against an attitude that Jesus taught in the Beattitudes, Matthew...

My friend, I have answered all of your objections; you just don't want to see it. And as for me, I prefer not to argue in circles.

The passage says that sin was not imputed to them because there was no law. This includes Adam's sin. I believe it! God bless you. Mat 18:2, And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, Mat 18:3, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and...

In John 17 true believers are said to be in the world but not of it. I think that the Cross stands as a kind of "in-your-face" event in history; whether anyone is sent to preach about it or not. It stands in history as something that we cannot ignore. Even those who reject it have emotions...

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole? (see Revelation 3:4) I can testify that the Lord has made me whole through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

It is therefore important that we meditate on these passages in order that we might understand them accurately. We are indeed justified by His blood when it is applied. But something that the blood does also when it is applied is that it sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29). Is it...

But in what sense? It is clear from holy scripture that there are those even in the church at Sardis who are in some sense "worthy" (Revelation 3:4)... and also, 1 John 3:7 shows clearly that those who are doers of righteousness are righteous even as He is righteous. 1 John 3:3 shows that...

The point is in what I put in larger letters.

Unless you hold them to be essentials of the faith...in which case you ought to debate them until you convince your adversary of the truth that will save them.

Furthermore: 1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jo 3:3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jo 2:6, He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk...

A few more verses: Jde 1:24, Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 2Pe 1:10, Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye...

Nevertheless, you have not succeeded at doing that.

The scripture testifies to the fact that Jesus was and is hated by the world. The very people to whom He ministered to in the temple, were the same people who were in the crowd when Judas betrayed Him. When people who represent Jesus are hated by the world, this shows clearly that Jesus is...

From my understanding these street preachers began by proclaiming the word...and then reacted to the hostile reactions coming to them from the people that they were preaching to. I could be wrong...and I would say that if their intention was to go to them pointing the finger and never providing...

We will have to agree to disagree. Because you have not shown this clearly enough from scripture. Perhaps you should bring in another scripture into the equation. Surely there is more than just Romans 5:13-14 to substantiate your opinion; and also, that passage does not substantially validate...

I consider that Christ Himself will be the judge of these "street preachers". As for me, I will withhold my judgment of them on the off-chance that what they were doing was the right thing. Wouldn't it be interesting if some of the people they were preaching to got saved? Normally people who...

And the Holy Spirit would have proceeded to convict you over your treatment of them; and you would have gotten saved out of guilt. It has happened before.

I would point out only two verses (and there are many more): 1Jo 3:6, Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 2:17, And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Reject the truth if you so desire...just know that there is a judgment. I will say that you are taking an awful chance on the concept that you are right and we are wrong...if you happen to be wrong then your eternal destiny may indeed be at stake if you choose not to listen to or heed the...
