concupiscence noun con·cu·pis·cence | \kän-ˈkyü-pə-sən(t)s, kən-\ Definition of concupiscence : strong desire especially : sexual desire

The context of a scripture never nullifies the truth of the scripture that is in the context...this is a basic rule of hermeneutics.

It appears that you are guilty of what you accuse me and others here of...pitting scripture against scripture. Hebrews 10:14 says, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. And, Hebrews 10:10 says, By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the...

Jesus sees the finished product as He looks at us presently; and also, the new man is perfect; in that the limitless, infinite love of God is shed abroad in the heart of the one who is born again (Romans 5:5, Ephesians 3:19-20).

dead works...Hebrews 6:1.

Both immediate and topical context are my very best friend...they have given me more insight and understanding as I have read through the scriptures a book at a time, than if I had played Bible roullette from day to day...that is for completely sure!

Not really... . . . God bless you, my friend.

I have already shown you that this is explained by the fact that the recipients of the promises (i.e. John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20) are the same people who fear the LORD enough to heed the warnings...without heeding the warnings, the promises wouldn't come...

Scripture, which, apparently, you didn't even look up...because the scripture is plain on this issue (see 2 Corinthians 3:12 (kjv)) in the verses that I referenced. Sin is passed down to us from our representative, Adam. Sin is defined in two ways in the Bible: 1) it is the transgression of...

Yes, the cooperation that is required is that we surrender to the grace of God...we receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. No amount of works is going to cut it in order to save you if He isn't your Lord and Saviour...those would be dead works apart from faith (Hebrews 6:1).

Because His for ever fear is in my heart, I shall not depart (i.e. walk away) from Him; and I also shall not come into condemnation (be judged negatively)...John 5:24.

I conclude that you are not reading these passages with any level of understanding.

Now, in understanding that every scripture verse stands alone as a bastion of scriptural truth, it is to be understood that every scripture presents a rule...but that in certain other scriptures there may be an exception to that rule. For example, it is impossible for those who have partaken of...

But they will still probably try to say that it is using the same means (i.e. through the Mental Health System); because even in that time, not everyone will have read through the book of Revelation. Those who have read it are especially blessed according to Revelation 1:3.

It is not what the forum is all about...but posters writing to other posters is certainly a major aspect of what a forum is all about.

I suppose that I should humble myself before your age and wisdom...however I think that here, Job 32:6-8, Job 32:9-10, and 1 Timothy 4:12, apply.

PS you consider that a lecture? Then how will you be able to handle a message of even one paragraph? As for a real message, I don't have much hope for you... The author of the 13 chapter book of Hebrews said that he had written to them in few words!

Then you should have known the basics of what I said to you in post #501: This is "Understanding Faith Righteousness 101", in Paul's epistle to the Romans. Maybe you were studying with the wrong people.

Here is your homework assignment: start reading through the entire epistle of Paul to the Romans once per week. On a separate day, read Galatians through Colossians. If you can gain an understanding of these books, you will do well.
