I think that even though we probably do sin as believers in Christ, that there are certain sins that we simply do not commit: otherwise, you would have people who truly believe in Christ who will not inherit the kingdom.

So if someone is a fornicator they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Question: what makes someone a fornicator? Is it not the act of fornicating? To @marks

So @marks, What do you make of the following?: 1Co 6:9, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Co 6:10, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor...

@n2thelight, Are you a Mormon? . . . In all the times I have read the book of Job, I have never gotten the impression that Elihu was wrong in the things that he said to Job. As a matter of fact, God said to Job near the end of the book, that Job had spoken right, but that his three friends had...

I just want to make it plain right now that Mormonism is a cult.

Of course there is only one way to God; but there is also a path that leads to the narrow path. While a man is walking down the path that leads to the narrow path, he is being drawn towards Christ, even towards that day when he will hear the gospel. He loved Jacob, and hated Esau....do you...

Yes. Sometimes the things of scripture do that. God is outside of time (Isaiah 57:15), so He does indeed know who will choose Him, from that perspective.

So if I call upon the name of the Lord, I am most definitely saved... This would indicate that the Lord chose me because I chose Him, i.e. according to foreknowledge; which most Calvinists reject. Otherwise, if the Lord can reject me because He didn't choose me, even though I call upon His...

You trying to preach Mormonism here?

It does not say there that men cannot be drawn to Christ without the gospel. They are drawn to Christ light by light.

I'm sorry to tell you that it is. At least, it is the message that some Calvinists, in my experience, have tried to carry over to me. Perhaps it is not what Calvin taught; but it has been said that his followers ran away with his preaching and turned it into something that it was never...

How did Abraham get wind of the gospel and enter into a relationship with God? For he lived in a land where the gospel most certainly was not preached. He was given the first light, creation, Romans 1, and when he obeyed that light, he received the 2nd light, conscience, Romans 2, and when he...

Mat 7:22, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23, And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. These appear to be...

If I said, "I'm giving you a car tomorrow...a free gift...but I'm placing a condition on it...you need to work for me for the next twenty years without pay"...you would say, "bogus...that gift isn't free." Likewise, if there is a condition placed on receiving a gift (other than receiving...

Actually, the scripture that reveals that aspect of God's truth is Romans 4:2 and 1 Samuel 16:7. The story was destined to be related in holy scripture, so that eventually the whole world would learn of the story. It was Abraham's faith in believing God's statement, that "his seed would be...

Jesus is God so He already died. Thing is, He didn't stay in the grave...He is alive!

That He is the beginning of all things means that He is the origin of all things. Because it is clear that the Word was God in the beginning (John 1:1) and that God is " from everlasting to everlasting" (Psalm 90:2).

God has given to every person the capacity for free will... Now granted, the inclinations of an unregenerated person are in a certain direction...as are the inclinations of a regenerated person in the opposite direction. The fear of the Lord keeps the regenerated person from crossing the line...

But of course, it is also true that the Triune nature of our Lord is not easily understood. His ways are above our ways, and his thoughts above our thoughts. The following would indicate that in looking at Jesus, they saw the Father, even apart from the transfiguration: Jhn 14:8, Philip...

Let me put it this way: There is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4); the Father (John 4:23-24, Ephesians 4:6), the Son (Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12) and the Holy Ghost (John 7:37-39, 2 Timothy 1:14) There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), the Son...
