I'm not sure why you are asking him that--he's a Monergist who respects John Calvin. That's basically where he's coming from.

The statement "the one who has sinned against Me I will blot out of My Book" has context : Moses asked to be blotted out in stead of blotting Israel out (God said "you didn’t do anything--it's these other people who did"). Why did God want to blot Israel out? Because of just any sin? No, this...

Yup, God works in us, which is God's righteousness, and we are told to obey that working (Php 2:12,13), and those works are "fine linen bright and clean", not "filthy rags". Already answered. You have nothing but gobbledygook to offer. Au revoir!

OK Cool I think I'm done demonstrating how foolish your position is. Ignored!

What a sloppy argument. "There's no difference at all between what Jesus told Judas to do and what Jesus told Peter was true about God." Maybe you need some coffee. Hahahaha

Oh, my mistake--you agree that God can forgive debts, and, thereafter, rescind forgiveness, based on whether or not the forgiven person forgives others (ie, that salvation can be lost). OK Thanks for agreeing.

Will those who are forgiven, but who do not do the good of forgiving others, remain forgiven, or will they have that forgiveness, the righteousness of faith (Ro 4:6-8), rescinded?

@ChristianSoldier Why are you still engaging in the conversation? You've spent all your ammunition, you've accomplished precisely nothing (except humiliating yourself by outing yourself as a rebel against God's Word, the parables), yet you're still wasting resources here. I'm satisfied with how...

Tell everyone the "true" meaning of the parable of the unforgiving servant--which you've said you're not beholden to, anyway (???)--if you want to insist I got it "wrong"... or were you planning on arguing, "Hah! You got it wrong! I got the TRUE meaning! I won't tell you, though!" Hahaha

OK Explain to everyone what the parable, which you've said you're not beholden to, means to you.

Nope, "filthy rags" are "a righteousness of my own", but when God works in someone, and they obey (Php 2:12,13), that's "fine linen bright and clean" (Rev 19:7,8), because it's "God's righteousness"--and, again, you have no answer for Matthew 18, where only doers of good remain, which good...

Irrelevant--the point is they contain truth, and the truth they contain you reject.

What does the parable of the unforgiving steward, which you said you're not beholden to, mean to you?

Some are happy to discuss not Scripture but their tradition, then, when Scripture corners them, they desperately seek a way to not be subject to Scripture (eg, "I don't submit to parables... at least not after i find out, through argumentation, that there's no way I can square them with my...

I have encountered so much gobbledygook here it's astonishing.

Clarification : the individual parts are plain, but it's impossible to understand how they all fit together, because so many of the plain truths seem, on the surface, to be mutually exclusive. Getting a coherent and consistent message from the Bible takes divine intervention.

Nope, Jesus does not speak in vain, He speaks bc God leads Him to speak, and He interprets His parables authoritatively, so, no, they're not up to personal interpretation. When Jesus says "So My Father will treat you if you do not forgive", that's what the parable means.

Nope, not supported by the parables--but, no need to fear, you've formulated a solution : You've arbitrarily decided they don't apply to you, either bc they're lies (they're not, they're just concealed truth--Jesus explains one in Mt 13), or else that you'll just not submit to God's Truth...

God "promises" to rescind forgiveness if you don't forgive. Jesus faithfully depicts God in the parables. God isn't unjust or blind, but repays men according to their works (Ro 2:6-16). He doesn't laugh at wickedness, like your "Christ alone" conception, where you think God only sees Christ...
