@"ByGrace", @Butterfly, @Taken.

This sentence is coming across to me as gibberish, maybe you could repeat yourself using different words.

Context has always mattered in my view. However, when preaching, I take issue with the evasive contention that a passage is taken out of context. That is a cop-out. When we are spending time studying the word, certain verses will jump out at us, and the context of them isn't irrelevant to our...

I don't think that it did; but if it did, it was because of an underlying issue of what is going on outside of the internet: not that I am excused by this; but it is the account that I give to you while being judged by you on the issue. I did go before the Lord in repentance on both issues and...

They would not be able to be in contradiction to what I have shown to be true: the fact that we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, in Romans 5:2. So I'll check into them when I have the time, perhaps when I read them in their context during my devotional time. Because I...

By the time you get to chapter 9, it becomes clear that their obedience was evident to the one whom Paul had sent to them to make assessment of their character (Titus).

Hi. You need to see Romans 7:14-25 from the perspective of Romans 7:14 as compared to 1 Corinthians 3:1-4. Also, the whole passage needs to be seen in light of 1 Corinthians 9:22. Paul is using a literary tactic in which he identifies himself with the carnal believer; but it is clear from...

Hi Chris, Amen to all of that. I am not implying in any way that those who do not have a perfect walk are not forgiven if they believe in Jesus; but I am saying that as our conscience afflicts us when we do sin, that it is good news that it is not an impossibility that we should be able to...

I am confident that on my day of judgment I can be consistent about my current behaviour and will stand before the Lord as one who is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. And it was both. I was calling both of you lost at one point, in that I prayed for the salvation of your souls in a public...

@Preacher4Truth is going to continue to falsely say that I called him satan; when in all reality I was addressing the spirit that was behind his accusatory statements. I have also publicly prayed for the salvation of those whose tongues have risen up against me in judgment; and I believe that I...

This one too.

Now you answer mine...

Saving faith is by definition that which gives us access into grace...since our salvation is by grace (through faith).

Uh...because it is the instrument by which we enter into grace?

I think I disagree with you there, brother. The Lord gives grace to the humble; and therefore if we are humble and mature, we will be recipients of grace.

Indeed, 1Jo 3:2, Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1Jo 3:3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. It is saying...

Also, edited post #10 (Obedience of you all...)

Kind of like through rose-colored glasses, huh? We are presented faultless when we are not really faultless? I think you missed the part about Him keeping us from falling. Paul ministered entire sanctification in his letters. I already mentioned what the man (not Paul, mind you) did that...

I didn't realize that Paul the apostle was alive today and had made an appearance on the John Ankerberg show.

@CoreIssue I think that one of your problems is that you subscribe to a watered-down translation of the Bible; which undermines the message of holiness in scripture.
