The Holy Ghost teaches us when we compare spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv). Are you saying that what is written by Paul is not spiritual? I would say that the writings of Paul were inspired by the Holy Spirit...even the Spirit of Jesus. Therefore I am simply...

When Jesus says, Verily, verily, I say unto you...what is spoken afterward is certainly not false doctrine (nor the tradition of man). As for taking out of context...how do you explain Matthew taking Hosea 11:1 out of context in Matthew 2:15? For there Matthew equates God's son as being Jesus...

This was not the estimation of Paul... Gal 3:6, Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Gal 3:7, Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Gal 3:8, And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen...

As has the spirit of rejecting individual seeds been planted in yours.

I did not see anything in your comments that would lead me to change my mind. I would point out to you, though, that every cherry has a seed within it that can be planted in the heart.

Commentary on Romans.

Living and saving faith = a relationship with the living Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 does teach that if we keep one thing only (the gospel) in memory (that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures), we are saved; and also stand in that...

I didn't have a dad who chastened me with any kind of physical chastening...but if I did, I think that I would fear him without ceasing to love him.

Of course, there are certain customary verses that speak of baptismal regneration....Romans 6:1-4, Colossians 2:11, 1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts 22:16, Acts 2:38-39 w/ Romans 8:30, etc.

Not that I'm aware of. Disobedience, here, is said to be the result of unbelief. It is not that the person has the wrath of God abiding on them because they disobeyed. Rather, the wrath of the Lord abides on them because they are not believing in Jesus...and the result is disobedience. Let...

John 6:47 is such a verse. Jhn 6:47, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

believeth Strong's 4100 verb, pisteuo, pist-yoo'-o, from 4102, ; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing) i.e. credit; by impl. to entrust (espec. one's spiritual well-being to Christ):-believe(r), commit (to trust), put in trust with. 4102, noun, pistis, pis'-tis; from...

I think that my position is not clear to some, so I will attempt to reiterate it here. Salvation is by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. We do not shift from walking by faith to attempting to earn...

Rom 4:20, He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Rom 4:21, And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Rom 4:22, And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Rom 4:23, Now it was not...

That Paul's doctrines and James' doctrines were not so far from each other....

Hi @Mal'ak, Have you considered that Abraham's faith, in Genesis 15:6, justified him, in that God counted his faith as righteousness. It may be that God wanted to make an example to the world of the kind of faith that He desires to see in a person; and the only way for God to be able to do...

All scripture is profitable for doctrine, 2 Timothy 3:16.

So, if I am saved by grace through faith, the very next moment I must earn my salvation (through sanctification by my flesh) from that time forward...by doing good works. Sorry, this is salvation by works, refuted by Ephesians 2:9 and context. Dead works...are works that we do in the power of...

Since Paul is the primary teacher concerning doctrine, I don't see how that is so. John, James, and Peter, I find more to be exhorters than anything else. But they don't really touch on doctrine very much. Paul is the doctrinal hero of the bunch.

Just to clarify, I want to point out what Paul said in Romans about the law: Rom 8:4, That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:7, Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God...
