You're right...however, he proposes marriage to the people of earth and if we accept the proposal, we will be bound by the laws of holy matrimony (i.e. till death do us part). Hos 2:19, And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment...

Are you aware of what it says in Romans 11:26?

You have not shown clearly any scripture that refutes or is truly contradictory to the verses that I have presented. Also, within every cherry is a seed that can produce an entire tree.

He actually does have a point, although I am trying to bring him closer to the truth on a slightly different issue.

I know that I myself have the imputed righteousness of Christ. But I am also aware (are you?) that Christ also imparts righteousness to His children: Mat 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience...

See Revelation 19:8; which speaks of the imparted (Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7) righteousness which is of God by faith (Philippians 3:9). (not the righteousness of the law; which is cleansing only the outside of the cup and dish).

It also speaks of imparted righteousness (Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7). Faith produces a righteous heart; and it is speaking of real righteousness, not pretend. My understanding is that in imputing righteousness to us, God will not be far behind with imparting righteousness to us...

That God has given it to me means that it belongs to me. I have received it; it is therefore mine. It has also not ceased from being His. Righteousness is not only imputed, it is also imparted (Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7). The righteousness which is of the Lord by faith (which is...

The new birth is indeed important...and those who are born of God "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9). But I will say again that it does not come about through works (Titus 3:5); but through faith alone in Jesus Christ (see Romans 5:2) Sometimes good seeds can be choked out by weeds. This is the...

I believe that no one will be saved apart from faith in Jesus Christ. If a Gentile has been given the light of creation (Romans 1) and obeyed it; then the light of conscience (Romans 2) and obeyed it; they will then receive the light of Christ (Romans 3). If they go on into the next world...

Because I have received it and live by it. See 1 John 3:7 1 John 3:3 1 John 2:6.

So now you are saying you know what I said and what I meant? I believe that your using the quote feature is in order. He justifies the ungodly because of their faith; thus translating them from being wicked to being righteous. God does indeed make sinners holy. They cannot make themselves...

Will be back later...time for devotions.

I hold that being righteous will result in my doing righteousness. Have I contradicted myself?

There is only one way to be made righteous...and that is to receive it as a gift (Romans 5:15-19).

Entire sanctification and sinless perfection are two different things. One has to do with sin being made dead...the other has to do with having sin eradicated. The former is true while the latter is false.

I'm sorry I don't see that. Please show forth how you think that that is.

Cornelius was approved by receiving the message of the gospel: we can never be saved through what we do, but only through faith in the gospel message (placing my faith in the gospel message being the only thing that I do to receive salvation). You are teaching false doctrine here, my friend...

No; for while Cornelius had righteous behaviour in giving alms to the poor, he did not yet have the righteousness which is by faith; which came to him when he heard the gospel as it was proclaimed to him by Peter. If Cornelius had all the righteousness that he needed, there would have been no...

False doctrine, refuted by this: Rom 5:17, For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Also false doctrine, refuted by this: 1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man...
