See post #159 (The false gospel of grace)

Romans 7:14-25 is Paul using a literary tactic that he identifies in 1 Corinthians 9:22 (kjv). He sets himself forth as a carnal believer in order that he might win the carnal believer. But it is clear that there is another class of Christian other than carnal; the spiritual believer is spoken...

1Th 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:24, Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Heb 10:10, By the which will we are sanctified through the...

Scripture indicates that we can come to a place in our lives as Christians wherein we no longer sin, as a second benefit (2 Corinthians 1:15). See also

While a man should certainly fear eternal punishment on the occasion that they would commit suicide, it is contrary to the comforting of the Holy Spirit to say that all who have committed suicide have gone to hell and then the lake of fire. Those who have loved ones who have committed suicide...

Mat 13:41, The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Mat 13:42, And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:49, So shall it be at the end of the...

Scripture teaches us that there is (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John 3:9 (kjv), 1 John 3:6 (kjv) w/ 1 John 2:17 (kjv), Jude 1:24 (kjv), 2 Peter 1:10 (kjv), 1 John 2:10 (kjv), and many more...)

Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46 together make a pretty strong case for eternal torment.

Also, @Butterfly, I sent it to you by email...if you didn't get it, then just send me another PM and I will try again.

If the translators of the kjv added the latter half of Romans 8:1, then the plagues of the book of Revelation ought to have been added to them, see Revelation 22:18. But they weren't; which indicates that in translating the kjv they did not add to the word of the Lord; but that those who...

I would say that it is good to get a base in certain truths even if you have not been in the word for a long time yet. But it is also primarily geared towards people who have a background in the word of the Lord; who will recognize certain truths from their previous readings in the holy...

I know that there are those who hold that the latter half of Romans 8:1 is not in the original text. The same people hold that the words, "thou shalt not bear false witness" do not exist in the text of Romans 13:9. I would say also that if we abide by the words of those teachers who teach that...

Except that my contentions in the following... ...I don't think have ever been adequately answered

The issue for me is not the glory of the Lord. He is perfectly capable of showing forth His glory so that all are fully aware of how glorious He truly is. The issue for me is that if grace comes before faith, then faith is not necessary in the obtaining of grace. However, the scripture is...

It should be clear that we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. Rom 5:1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory...

Understood; please forgive me for using your post as a sounding board to tout one of my favorite doctrines.

Hi, @H. Richard, FYI, I do not believe, and therefore I would not preach, that a person must be sinlessly perfect in order to be saved. I believe that if anyone is truly born again, their reaction when they blow it and live according to the flesh would be Wretched man that I am! Who shall...

Rom 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Rom 5:13, (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:14, Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses...
