You either didn't read my post, or you are distorting what I said deliberately in order to sustain your argument. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Read my post.

Amen bro. Two scriptures which continued to solidify the truth. "We love Him (and keep His commandments) because He first loved us". Note carefully the following. This is Jesus speaking to Moses on Sinai... note what comes first before the law is presented as the standard of obedience... “1...

Although,, Jesus could certainly be correct literally of the word sword that He used as a metaphor for violence and any form of weapon, I including words. Two reasons why it would likely not be your interpretation. A. In the context He was using that phrase, “52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put...

Oh, I think there's much more to say. How can any being "in Christ" not be saved? How can a babe, a newly born again Christian, not be saved?

In identifying the heads, (and the horns for that matter) we need to look at things from God's prospective. God's heart and focus, the apple of His eye so to speak, was Israel. They were God's chosen vessel for bringing to light His character and plan of salvation. So what touched Israel...

God’s initiatives are not accomplished automatically. Instead, they require the faithful response of His people. That is, with all that God has done for us—including all that He has done for us that we cannot do for ourselves—we are then called to do what we can do for ourselves, which is to...

Hi again. Many don't realise that if you call Jesus Lord, you are confessing your role as a servant. And servants absolutely obey their Master. Or should. To all His commandments. Not just that ones we feel are convenient... Or lawful.

Here's a summary from my notes regarding imputed righteousness... Christ has achieved salvation for all humanity objectively by His life, death (specifically the second death), and resurrection—not based on human action, but as a birthright accepted by faith. Our salvation does not depend on...

Yes, the Bible is clear that only those who do the Father's will, obeying His commandments, will see life. Therefore that gift of eternal life is conditional. But we aren't to obey, we can't obey, on our own. "Without Me ye can do nothing" Jesus said. John 15:5. It is only through a change in...

The promise of the gospel is that not only is the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, but imparted also. By beholding Christ, by being connected to the Vine, we are changed into the image of Christ. So we are to no longer look to the law and say, oh dear, I need to do better and then go away...

We have a living Saviour. He is not in Joseph’s new tomb; He is risen from the dead and has ascended on high as a Substitute and Surety for every believing soul. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). The sinner is justified...

I like that. Excellent. Note how God cleanses His church... Through His word. Through reading and preaching and hearing. Not just cursory glances every now and then, but daily study and deep investigation. And I don't mean one needs to learn Hebrew and Greek to do this. The Bible interprets...

You noted the early experiences of those in the garden, the statements of God compared with that of the serpent, and the fact that it is true the both Adam and Eve did indeed die. Unless of course one thinks they went to hell and have been there 6000 years longer than others going there today...

Chat GPT will agree with your ideas based on your preconceived loaded questions. Did you know chat GPT assisted a young man to hang himself? And you trust it as a guide for spiritual prophetic hermeneutics?

Did you read any of the above? Did it not resonate at all with you regarding what is taking place in your own country, and how so accurately the current situation there is fulfilling scriptural prophecy, and how soon now the final stages of this world's history will be coming to completion...

It's interesting, and sadly grieving, that the character flaws we so readily recognise in each other and are not slow to inform the world how clever we are in discerning them while pretending we ourselves have none, the reality is that the greatest sin lies in our judgmental condemnation of...

The character is revealed, not by occasional good deeds and occasional misdeeds, but by the tendency of the habitual words and acts.

I think they very quickly became practitioners of sin. Once discovered, they immediately pointed to someone else as being responsible. This is a powerful indication of a very quickly falling nature. Adam pointed to Eve, and by extension, blamed God for giving her to Adam. Eve blamed the serpent...

Yes.

Also. While the papacy was rising in the 5th century and finding its independence from Gothic interventions in the 6th, the growing Catholic faith was not, nor had it ever been the only shop in town. Her persecutions against non conformist Christian churches that by that time had spread...
