Not only do you misrepresent what the bible teaches, you misrepresent what I present. Your tactics have been revealed as for what they are. 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess...

I will limit my response as this is a question that could be answered in a series of books that would fill libraries. God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. God is imminent and transcendent. God is the only good. God is marvelous light in whom there is no shifting shadow. God is...

The fact is you are the one contradicting...the proof is in the last 3 posts. Now you are bringing false accusations against me. Tactics Satan uses... Do you choose to stand against me in front of God with your false accusations as you are in this forum? I said nothing against Jesus, yet...

You are you saying Jesus contradicts scripture, as to which I reply you are mistaken. Sorry, try again.

Convincing arguments on both sides...yet I tend to fall more in the young earth camp...I guess I "evolved" from the Darwinian perspective, being I was indoctrinated through the American public schooling system believing what they taught us. Although I can say my faith does not hinge on either...

Religion and science do not equate. As to the Darwinian theory, there has never been any observable cross species mutations. To be clear, a bat has always had wings throughout the fossil record and every plant or animal species bears the same history throughout the fossil record. What the...

How many works of belief must one complete to fulfill your works based salvation system? Would you not then say we are earning salvation as opposed to receiving a free gift? To look at repentance in it's original form, it suggests change of thought or mindset. Here I am certain we agree that...

And I will add they never were going to be saved in any perspective of an omniscient God transcendent of time. These you speak of never were "saved" to begin with, perhaps they had a form of faith. Yet it is obvious their faith was never salvific in nature. Those who have a saving faith...

Romans 10:8-13 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with...

Every portion of your arguments were answered in my post yet you ignore it?

First off I am not saying the opposite of Jesus, your understanding of us both is incorrect. Scripture does not contradict itself, only the interpretation can contradict. What you confuse is the difference between salvation and sanctification, grace and law, the Mosaic Covenant and the New...

Romans 6:14 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Paul saw clearly that law and grace do not go together. If one is “under” the one, he is not “under” the other. In view of the place Paul’s Jewish contemporaries ascribed to the law we must be...

I would say that is your own personal conviction on the inspiration of the Bible. Personally I hold to a verbal plenary inspiration view. What can happen from a lesser view of verbal plenary is a degradation of the validity of inspiration. From this we have things happening similar to the...

What does this have to do with having a discussion on a public forum? The subject is organized religion, not female pastors.

Romans 4:4-8 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God...

It seems you are making the case we need organization to insure we meet in the right places, practicing the right things, in the right ways, with the right people then. You undermine your own position. In the case of religion... James 1:27 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and...

The first thing I must state is I agree that Jesus returned for 40 days in a glorified or resurrected state, yet that body is physical. John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Luke 24:39...

Who says I don't? And who is to say where we meet, the meeting house is just the building. Just as the alter is nothing it is the elements presented on it, so the meeting place is nothing it is the subject we meet for. Why should you protest anyone meeting in the name of Christ, no matter...

First I agree that Jesus' Kingdom is spiritual. John 18:36 Luke 17:21 Yet clearly the scriptures speak of Jesus' physical return, as posted above. Please reconcile verse 9 in the Zechariah passage if you disagree. You can look through spiritual eyes easy enough to see that this world is...

It seems you are adhering to the letter of the Law and not the Spirit. It is the concept that should be followed.
