    We are forgiven of past, present, and future sin(s)! So our relationship to the law is that it no longer condemns us. This does not mean that we are disobedient. On the contrary, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5, 1 John 4:19, Luke 7:36-50); and this love is the...

    Hell is a very real place of burning, with fire and brimstone and conscious torment for those who are being punished over their iniquities. It is likened in the holy scriptures to the furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth; and, everlasting punishment. See Matthew...

    I'm with you, @101G... and awaiting their answer.

    We are regenerated and renewed by faith, Titus 3:4-7. A regenerated and renewed soul will always do good works when given the opportunity; while he or she is saved apart from works: and therefore if someone is regenerated and renewed and dies the next moment, or the rapture hits, they will...

    Usually, if someone is trusting in their works to save them (or to keep them saved), it is safe to say (based on the teaching of God's word) that they are not saved; since they are trusting, to save them, that which cannot save.

    1Co 8:1, Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1Co 8:2, And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1Co 8:3, But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

    I'm sorry to tell you that you do not have doctrine under your belt. . . . What did you teach them if it wasn't the Bible?

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    In Isaiah 9:6, the son that is given, His name shall be called the everlasting Father. Will you accept this scripture at face value, as teaching that the Father descended to become a Man?

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Oh, the Father is the Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). I am contending He is the same Lord (1 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 8:19 (kjv)).

    Explain how that can be in light of the argument that I have given:

    They may have had faith; but that faith would be defined as nominal, shallow and lukewarm (mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel).

    What is the nature of everlasting life? Is it not life that will never end? If my salvation is life everlasting, but I lose that salvation, then my everlasting life came to an end, and therefore it was not everlasting. Therefore, the fact that it is everlasting life means that by nature I...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    So, two Lords? that is contrary to Ephesians 4:5 and 1 Corinthians 8:6.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    It means both "by faith alone" and "righteous by faith".

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    And yet there is one Lord. Nowhere in scripture do we find a statement saying there are three Lords...and in fact, such a statement would be against the creeds on the Trinity. And no, I am not anti-Trinitarian...but I emphasize the Oneness of the Lord in order to combat the heresy of Tritheism...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    In John's gospel, when Jesus says He is going to send the Holy Spirit...in the same breath, He says, I will not leave you as orphans...I will come to you. The Father inhabits eternity, while the Son is the Father descended to the earth. When He ascends back into eternity, He ascends to His...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    James 2:19 tells us that we do well to believe in one God. Ephesians 4:5 tells us that there is one Lord. This Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), the Son (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3) and the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17). One Lord in three Persons? Three Persons...

    It's in the Bible. 2 Corinthians 3 I think.

    I didn't think so. My point being, that although I have the knowledge, my being exalted to the position of seminary professor would also be up to the Lord...(and also, I think that I am currently too young for such a position...and I also feel that seminary is not my calling, as some have...
