It is a matter of opinion, I suppose, whether we should continue to "love" those who purport false doctrines enough to continue to engage with them, or whether we should instead choose to be obedient to Romans 16:17.

Romans 1:8-15, 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 Making request...

Justification is a major aspect of salvation and if any man is justified, he is also saved. Agree or disagree?

@Taken, I will not attempt to understand what you are trying to say by what your sentences imply; but I will respond according to what I think you might be saying by what I perceive that you are implying with your statements. In Galatians 2:16 it is written, Knowing that a man is not justified...

My response to "my understanding" of what you just wrote is the following (in Romans chapters 9 and 10): 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which...

The Lord's day was actually the first day of the week, in which He was resurrected.

The servant of the Lord must not strive, so you win.

The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18). What he/she is saying is clear enough that I don't have to hear any more of what he/she has to say in order to determine the essence of what he/she is saying.

Obedience to the faith = surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It means receiving His love into our hearts that we might live according to it (Romans 5:5). Now love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4). So then, we receive the...

I will answer the question for you: you were disagreeing with my statement that it is unscriptural to say that people are somehow saved through keeping the law: therefore to you it must be scriptural to believe that we are saved/justified through law-keeping. However Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:20...

You wrote: Yesterday at 9:41 AM#961 What statement of mine was it that you disagreed with?

Specifically I would point out these statements: These statements put together imply that justification was through law-keeping (and not by faith) in the OT and that therefore it can be the same in the new. This is false doctrine. You attempt to show by your statements that there is another...

Not the specific word...the concept however is definitely there. I am not stupid, and I know that it is not only in "my imagination" as you say. Apparently you are counting on the fact that there are people who will be reading what you write who are stupid and will have no reading...

Yesterday at 9:41 AM#961, the evidence is before us.

And realize also, that failing to keep the letter of the law will not be to your condemnation if your whole trust is in what Christ did for you on the Cross! If you are motivated by love for God and neighbor to obey the Sabbath, Feasts, and dietary laws; knowing that you are saved apart from...

In the Old Testament, people were justified by faith, just like in the New (see, for example, Genesis 15:6). It is unscriptural to say that anyone is justified by the law, because of Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:20, and quite a few other verses.

My rendition of John 3:16 is that He gave His only begotten Son, in light of Isaiah 9:6. It is another gospel to teach (or imply) that we are in any way justified by the law; therefore any time you would emphasize obedience to the law, it is very important that you also emphasize the fact that...

I am certainly not fighting against His commandments. The love of Christ within my heart is the fulfillment of their requirement within me. All I am saying is that no one is saved by keeping them. Because salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Trying to earn salvation by the works...

It is alright, I prefer to follow the wisdom of Proverbs 19:27.
