1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all...

From David Gusik's commentary: From A.R. Fausset:

They made an idol out of a "brass thing" rather than seeing the meaning behind the image that was presented to them.

I fail to see how, thinking that God intended to mislead you in what He inspired, would be a step forward. Being able to trust God is a step forward. Believing that God is capricious, to me, would be a step backward. Because I feel that a god who would intend his word to be misunderstood, is...

Merry Christmas to you also! :)

Obviously. Because I am Calvinist in some points of my belief and Arminian in other points of my belief.

The only way to be healed from the poison of the serpents (when you are bitten by them) is to look to the bronze serpent on the pole in faith. The poison of the serpents represents the "bite" of sin. Isaiah 45:22, John 3:14-16 implies that this bronze serpent on the pole is Jesus/Jehovah God.

I gave you an answer. So I guess that you would interpret it based on what you define to be a Calvinist. If someone who holds to three of the five points of Calvinism is someone that you would define as a Calvinist, then I am guilty as charged. However on two of the five points I am quite...

Inside every cherry there is a seed. But really, Romans 4:6 is found in a cluster. Romans 4:1-8 says clearly as a whole (perhaps even more clearly) what I am trying to say to you. Not every one who says to Him, Lord, Lord, will be saved...there are those who do not call upon Him in...

Did you mean:

Hi @Nancy, I put a minus (-) next to the tenets of Calvinism that I don't believe in. In post #412 (Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement) My understanding of Irresistible Grace is not that it is forced, although our God is Omnipotent and could do it that way, I believe that He gives us a...

See Romans 4:6, which declares that the righteousness of the Lord is imputed to the believer apart from works. Perhaps that does not translate into Sola Fide in your mind. Indeed, the obedient will be saved...but whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved...Romans...

Again, I would very likely be sinning against the Lord if I went into detail and brought again to the forefront how the NIV preaches damnable heresies...so if you want to take your chances knowing that someone has seen them in that translation, then your blood will be on your own head if you...

I'm not seeing it... How does the fact that they are holy brothers mean that they will not endure to the end if they are partakers of Christ? How does it show that my interpretation is faulty, (my interpretation that...) those who are truly partakers of Christ will endure to the end? I mean...

The Biblical bondservant aspect is the only reason why I would consider piercing an ear.

Yes, that is pretty much the case.

Go ahead and read the NIV, the NASB, and/or translations like it if you want, it is no skin off my back. You are putting the "onus" on me, and I am saying that anyone can do the research and they will find the same thing that I have found, if they do the research with reliance on the Holy...

:eek::confused:o_O You have got to be kidding.

A lot of words to give an explanation that is explained more aptly by Romans 4:2... For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Abraham was justified by works in the sight of man (i.e. he offered up Isaac on the altar); but in the sight of God he was...
