He does, however, tell us not to forsake the assembly (in Hebrews 10).

I have said my piece, and expect this thread to be overrun by the Arians shortly.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as a sounding brass, or clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could...

For me, I was in those other translations so long that I know what they say; and therefore when I read it in the kjv the understanding isn't lost to me that other translations have revealed to me in the past. I got a lot of understanding out of reading their renderings; what I don't like is the...

Praise God...I know exactly what you are talking about...and what you don't realize is that those things were indeed said out of genuine love, even though they were harsh words intended to wake someone up out of a false belief and to save them. I am of the opinion that real love is not always a...

I don't believe that debate in itself is a godly institution (Romans 1:29, 2 Corinthians 12:20-21); however it is important to also contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints when false teachers are purporting false doctrines right in front of you (Jude 1:3-4). I know...

Not only that; but the exact wording of scripture in John 10:33 is... The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy: and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. So in their minds, He is not only claiming to be sent from God and one with God; He...

I am not going to argue with you over the point as I think my testimony on the subject bears witness to the truth of the issue...see also Revelation 12:10-11.

I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing...Romans 7:18a.

mockery...

As one of the saints of my denomination/movement once spoke, "Jesus reduce me to love." I think that if we just focus in on the gospel itself (in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, John 3:16); that Jesus died in our place taking the penalty for our sin(s): and if we love Him in return for what He has done...

We don't have AC anymore where I live; because my wife and I moved recently from a hotel into a house that God just dropped into our lap (it is not ours but we are watching over it for someone)...but it's not so bad as far as I'm concerned....though she has mentioned it is hotter than she would...

The love of God is shed abroad in the heart of every genuine bona fide born again believer (Romans 5:5). And that is all I have to say about any of this. To say, "I don't love you," is not exhibiting God's love, impaho. But I understand that you either do or you don't. What I protest is the...

That speaks volumes...

The gift of praying in tongues is the only solid proof that anyone has the Holy Ghost. It is the only spiritual gift that is supernaturally a sign to unbelievers. Miracles and healing, one might have; and Jesus might say, I never knew you (as these might be false gifts). But if you have...

No; I do not agree with you because you appear to be using a corrupt translation of the Bible. If you look at it in the kjv, I think you will see my pov loud and clear.

The Bible teaches that in the last days people will heap up to themselves teachers to tell them what their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:1-5). Therefore the exhortation I would give is, Study to shew thyself approved unto God; a workman that needeth not to be ashamed; rightly dividing...

Therefore if you do not know that you know that you know that you are born of the Spirit; your only option is to seek the Lord on this: and also to consider carefully anything that is spoken by those who claim that they do know that they know that they know (as I do). Because while those who...

Indeed He has (1 Corinthians 6:2-3). But of course it it up to Him to decide who "the saints' are in that passage. I would think that His word might be the determining factor (also concerning what is essential doctrine).

Forgiveness comes through faith in His shed blood. Sanctification is the result, not the cause (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5; 1 John 3:17-20, Romans 13:8-10, Romans 8:4).
