No one is righteous that sins not. The righteous sin. This statement is not meant to negate literally HUNDREDS of verses to the contrary. It is meant to balance the status of the righteous with holiness. No one is so righteous as the holy. Like when Jesus said that the least in the kingdom is...

Since I don't get asked very many good questions I thought to bring this over from the closed thread... Sure...you don't seem to treat that with any reverence. Again, there are different depths to knowing...

This is an opinion not supported in the bible. You are confusing the call on Israel and now the church with the world.

This religious speak. And childish. Like...do I have to believe in the trinity to be saved??? Something a little unlearned child might say. You don't have to believe in the Jesus that saves you for the righteous. You need to obey Him whether you know Him or not. Minimum standard to love others...

That is false. A man can be saved by a doctor without the person knowing who the doctor is. The man who was rescued by the Samaritan didn't know the Samaritan. now read the bible again. Lord when did we see you and minister to you???? Jesus answers...Inasmuch as you did it to the least of...

John says that so that we don't sin...In Him is no sin. You teach a sinful salvation. How about a lawless holiness? Do you also adopt that. Being half-holy? Those who sin have never known God....read John in context. John spoke against Gnostics (see church history) who claimed that they NEVER...

You are fully outside the biblical narrative...and following a decoy gospel that saves no one. I can save your soul from here... People will be judged on their DEEDS...not their beliefs. According to righteousness. God will judge the world in righteousness (not holiness) The higher walk in...

The actual purpose of grace is for the elect to be conformed to the image of Christ....so that He is the firstborn of many brethren.

I didn't think I needed to quote the bible with a "theologian". But I see you have been indoctrinated...you have never met the Lord. And you aren't able to see the scriptures in any other light. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he...

The torment is in outer darkness, knowing that you lied about God and are cut off from His presence for ever. If you want to revel in eternal torment for unbelievers who suffer forever for a few years of sin.....enjoy!

The other thread was locked..so this is my response to @Grailhunter I agree with your assessment except for the waiting for a sign from heaven. The Pharisees did such and Jesus rebuked them for it. And I have known a lot of people who CLAIM that God told them this or that...but it's all...

Jesus said....If you love Me obey my commanments...obey my MITSVAH. Mitsvah is a command within an intimate relationship. When we walk in the Spirit we are experiencing a mitsvah. When we obey God through love that's also a mitsvah. Mitsvot connects us to God in relationship. Resisting God's...

How do I present the gospel? 1. To the wicked I say...Jesus died because of your sins...but He paid for them if you obey Him step by step...He will lead you in the way of life. You need to change your ways and listen to Jesus. Repent. The believing here is ONLY what the person DOES in response...

What you fail to see to this point is that death doesn't justify anyone. Christ's shed blood reconciled the world to Himself through redemption. The WHOLE WORLD. A life for a life. The death penalty was remitted because Jesus took it on Himself. But this redemption is NOT to be claimed or taken...

People in general don't know how to juggle the idea that Jesus Christ is BOTH God and man. They SAY they understand...but they don't. The fact that Jesus is BOTH means that there are 2 poles or aspects ....or levels of truth that must be addressed. We are to be conformed to Jesus as a Man...and...

I don't suppose you bothered to listen to the video in the OP. I wrote a big book about putting the whole bible into context that shows the ways of God and in particular the way of God in Christ. I submitted the book to professional reviewers...as suggested by the publisher. I had to pay for...

There is NO eternal destiny called heaven. Read the bible for yourself. The next age is on a new earth...not heaven. Heaven is ONLY for now.

Of course. We have free will. Only a wiley ole Calvinist believes that we don't have free agency? Are you a Calvinist at heart? Of course not. The predestination is only for those who would be perfected in Christ as it says in the bible....to be conformed to the image of His Son...nothing...

We all need Christ. It's just that His mercy extends beyond those who give Him lip-service. He is merciful. And if He wasn't none of us would survive. Best to let God be merciful and not decide for ourselves who gets to go to hell...

I don't deny that there are 5 point Calvinists in the world. There are extremes of all sorts. I believe in God's salvation for all who do His will whatever the religious belief is. God doesn't care what our beliefs are. Only a carnal and rebellious decoy church teaches that we will be judged...
