If you are in any way trusting in your obedience/good works/law-keeping to save you, then the following scriptures apply: 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...

I have not said that in order to go to heaven, one must in the present moment have a correct understanding of doctrine. Of course, if they die with any kind of deliberate incorrect understanding concerning any of the essentials, they will die in their sins. If they believe something because...

You are wrong; because the holy scriptures are clear on the matter. The judgment of the Lord will be according to the holy scriptures, John 12:48.. Those who do not want to believe that Jesus is the Lord (God), do twist the scriptures to make them fit the pattern of saying what they want them...

Not to mention, Jesus makes it a point of contention in John 8:24, teaching us that we must believe in His Deity lest we die in our sins.

I believe I returned good for good. I didn't quote the verse in question, now, did I? (for I only referenced it). The statement remains hidden to most. It was simply a piece of advice for you; to help you in the future. Of course, Proverbs 23:9 may apply.

I suppose that it is an indictment on the Christian Church.

The holy scriptures make that judgment quite clearly, however.

What we believe doctrinally matters to the Lord: 1Ti 4:16, Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. And the these things spoken of do not include salvation. Jesus in this passage is merely saying...

What of 1 John 3:4? The tzitzit and talllit and tefilin reference is valid; and it shows clearly that we cannot be bound to the letter but will be obedient to the spirit of the law as born again believers. Also, have you never read: Col 2:13, And you, being dead in your sins and the...

Thank you for telling me that. Of course I will take it to heart; for it is written, Pro 28:26, He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Therefore I accept your statement as it pertains to me (trusting in my own heart). However, if you are...

No kidding. That's why I don't accept Bible translations that say that he is. Right. That's why I reject the NASB, the NIV, and any other version that tries to tell us that satan is the morning star. The God I serve is not a mocker. Maybe some of His servants (i.e. Elijah to the servants...

Hey I didn't mean to offend you...thought you would have a thicker skin than that.

We could also do what it takes to convert them through evangelistic outreaches.

Of course, our spiritual body also will have physical aspects; for we will be drinking wine with Jesus new in the kingdom. The same kind of wine that Jesus and the disciples drank at the Last Supper. And, of course, "complete" means "perfect". The question to be asked is whether these...

More accurately, "the old man." "man of sin" refers to the Antichrist.

Wasn't there a situation in the Old Testament wherein the body of someone was laid upon the bones of a prophet and immediately was raised from the dead?

Rom 7:6, But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. This is not to say (by the first half of the verse) that the girl you are speaking of is justified in her behaviour (although...

And that is why translating it in Isaiah 14:12 as "morning star" is a faulty translation. I'm going to pray for you; that the Holy Spirit might convict you and save you. I suppose that is one of the benefits of verbally attacking a true Christian...you obtain the benefit of their prayer for...

I am a strict monotheist who also believes in God's Triune nature. As a matter of fact, I have been lambasted by Tritheists for my emphasis on the Oneness of the Lord. Because to me, the Trinity is simple once you know what it is. It may take years of studying your Bible with the concept on...

At least you admit that the verses are still true. And I have also said that we can gain added insight into them by understanding their immediate and topical contexts. I would say, however, that every verse still stands alone as a bastion of truth. James 2:24 can be understood all by its...
