Not if you're still sinning against the Lord.

1Pe 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Yep. Because you're rejecting the testimony of the Holy Ghost through me. (see Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, Hebrews 4:7). Guess I was right after all about the "itching ears" thing. Maybe one or more of the teachers that you will heap up to yourself will preach sound doctrine also. However...

I do think, however, that some translations have it watered-down.

Positive. Romans 8:16. Of course... (I'm being facetious).

I am a sinner who doesn't sin (for the most part...;))

I am righteous in Christ...the Holy Spirit dwelling within me motivates me unto righteousness. His Spirit is one with my spirit...1 Corinthians 6:17. This is the new man. But that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and since my flesh has not died (though a case can be made for dying to...

I see your point, but can't seem to get around the scripture in question... It appears to me to be saying that it is a trustworthy saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...of whom "I" am chief. Perhaps if you see it in light of an AA...

1 Timothy 4:16 speaks to the child of God also, even to pastor Timothy.

This is not the case since the name of the son that was given shall be called among other things the everlasting Father. There is only one Father, Malachi 2:10. Yet Jesus is said to have children in Hebrews 2:11-13. I am one of His children. Therefore He is my Father. Therefore, I will pray...

He actually has some pretty good insight as the nature of the mystery of our God's Triune nature.

I do find that in preaching the doctrine of entire sanctification, I am laying down the law of the New Testament as a schoolmaster to bring men unto Christ. Once we come to faith, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Nevertheless, He says, Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do...

I think that Paul is exhorting us all to take on an attitude of self-abasement.

Until we come to unity in the non-essentials as well as the essentials, there will always be division. Non-essentials are more important than one might think, see Luke 16:10... Luk 16:10, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is...

Now I know that you said learning doctrine is completely valid; but I still want to point out that it is important that we read the Bible in order to discern what is sound doctrine. For without it, we may end up not being saved: 1Ti 4:16, Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue...

One would have to consider that the Holy Spirit hasn't spoken to one or both parties. I would gather that the person with the most convicting message should prevail. Because it is the Holy Spirit's job to convict of sin and righteousness and judgment; and therefore if the person on one side of...

At least one of them would have to be perfect. Psa 12:6, The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Once purified seven times, no more purifying is needed...the translation that has been purified seven times will be the standard. The...

Mat 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. This seems to me to say that holy scripture is divinely inspired down to every jot and tittle. I have said jokingly that if anyone does not believe...

The moment He was begotten was at the conception spoken of in Luke 1:35. Before that He was the Father (and continues to be the Father afterwards; but before that He inhabited eternity). I don't think that that is true. I feel that the Lord has given me a strong understanding of the Triune...

The nuances in the contrasts between scriptures.
