    Wet Paint Principle (Freedom)

    I have read these verses many times and will address them for you. The latter verse (Mark 13:32) is answered by the doctrine of the hypostatic union. Jesus was both God and Man. The Father dwells in eternity, is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent. Jesus emptied Himself of some of the...

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    It does not. No; in my view the Father became the Son and the Son is a distinct Person from the Father. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Jesus (see John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11) given back to the Father so that He could give it to the church (see Luke 23:46). What you are promoting is...

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    It was prophesied in Isaiah 9:6 that the Christ would be called by the name of everlasting Father.

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    Scripture interprets scripture (1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)). Sorry, it means God, capital "G". If you are going to put a small "g" on it, then the plurality of the affix, "im" applies, and it would refer to gods, or, all the holy host of heaven; as Jesus is the LORD of hosts. I believe that...

    I'm asking...but please take into consideration my signature (edit: signature was changed) if you are going to call me a hypocrite based on the fact that I am a sinner. Everyone is...it is those who do not admit that they are sinners who are the hypocrites...they put their best foot forward and...

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    Hi @Enoch111, Show me a scripture that says that Jesus was eternally begotten through the creation of some kind of eternal mirror; and I will believe you. Otherwise, I hold to the truth that Jesus was begotten through the conception that took place when the Holy Ghost (not "the Word" (?))...

    Eternal Security

    A Christian is someone who by definition believes in Jesus Christ: and to believe in Jesus Christ does not mean to believe in a different Jesus than the Jesus of the historic Christian faith (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4).

    Eternal Security

    re #1791: Sorry, I meant 2 Peter 2:1-3 (kjv). So are you saying that when a person receives salvation they receive salvation unto an eternal existence in hell? Because if jumping out of the airplane with a parachute represents salvation, you are saying that the end result is being in one...

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    Actually, John 8:24 does indeed say that in light of the other verses. I think we disagree here. Jesus was born of a virgin and this is how he was begotten. The Holy Ghost became one with the egg in the womb of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35). That would indicate that the Holy Ghost is the Word...

    As a matter of fact He did (John 8:24 and John 8:58 w/ John 8:59 and John 10:31-33 and Exodus 3:14). You obviously have not been paying attention. The "lie" about being born again is substantiated by scripture (John 3:1-8, 1 Peter 1:23). And in the first passage mentioned (in v. 5), it is...

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    I will only point out here what I pointed out in another thread: that the Deity of Christ, as a doctrine, is essential to salvation (John 8:24 in light of John 8:58 in light of John 8:59 and John 10:31-33 and Exodus 3:14)

    Eternal Security

    Now may the Lord abundantly bless you, my friend. In the scenario given, the person has a parachute and jumps out of the plane without it. That is insane. Where the plane is taking you is inconsequential; you have the option of jumping out of the plane with the parachute. You are speaking...

    So how does that apply to the topic at hand?

    Eternal Security

    The scriptures quoted in #1777, above, are promises given to those who will lay hold on them. If anyone wants to study further, they can look up the following scriptures which speak of how we can obtain the promises of God by faith: 2 Peter 1:3-4; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 11:33; and...

    Eternal Security

    John 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:47, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John...

    Eternal Security

    That is your opinion; unless you can back up your statement with scripture. And even if it is the case, you have not shown that Jeremiah 32:38-40 is given to Israel alone. Anyone who, having a parachute, would take off their parachute before jumping out of an airplane, would have to be...

    It was a crucifying offense that Jesus claimed to be God in Mark 14:61-64. He was crucified from the Jews' perspective for the sin of blasphemy according to that passage. Not unless he became a born again Christian before he died and nobody became aware of it but God.

    Eternal Security

    Gentile believers are graffed into the olive tree, which is Israel (Romans 11:11-24). Israel is defined as all those who are of a clean heart (Psalms 73:1). Before any true believer would get to the point where he might renounce Jesus, the same believer would be subject to the chastening of...

    Eternal Security

    Jeremiah 32:38-40 does work because it is the word of God. And btw, the passage actually teaches eternal security, I don't know if you got that. Because people find a loophole in John 10:27-30 by saying that you can of your own free will walk away out of God's hand; but Jeremiah 32:38-40 deals...

    Like I originally meant impaho to mean in my personal and humble opinion, but someone thought that I was coming across more as saying, in my perfect and honest opinion lol.
