Purity, Let me first say your inquires are well thought out and presented in a respectable mannor. Thank you for using tack with your responses and questions. It is pleasing to dialogue in a fashion that is honorable to God and man alike. To the first question: Faith is a definite...

33.239 παράδοσις, εως f: (derivative of παραδίδωμιc ‘to instruct,’ 33.237) the content of traditional instruction—‘teaching, tradition.’ διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσιν τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; ‘why is it that your disciples disobey the tradition of our ancestors?’ Mt 15:2...

As to your question of sola scriptura: 2 Thessalonians 2:15 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

Greetings Purity, Romans 11:29 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Often it is advocated that you can "lose your salvation" or "walk away from the faith" or "continue in sin thereby losing your salvation." These ideas I disagree with. Also many teach the idea that there...

I would say you summed it up pretty well. You also make a great point, even scholars need to refer to another authority be it Strongs or BDAG or whatever definition source they use. I still contend though the HolySpirit should be the ultimate source and authority. As Tertullian explains, the...

1 Corinthians 11:3 3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Ephesians 5:23 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the...

I think this is interesting when it comes to the topic of redemption. Ephesians 1:7 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace Also we have this: Romans 8:23 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the...

1 Timothy 2:3-6 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the...

I completely understand the parable of the lost sheep. Lets look to what scripture says: 5 “When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. You completely misconstrue the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints which is obvious by this quote"The Shepherd go after that sheep...

NOTE TO ALL: I did not and do not intend this thread to be demeaning or degrading to any particular denomination or person. This tread was not posted to be an US VS THEM type thread. John 13:34-35 34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that...

So in other words the sheep can be influenced by satan or any other member of his host to leave the flock, similar to eve's deception, and God just allows it? And to add to this we have "39 “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/22/pope-francis-good-atheists_n_3320757.html This article speaks how the Pope says all men are redeemed. Taken from the sermon: "The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this...

From my perspective I have sufficiently shown how the texts can be viewed to support OSAS... Can you from this text show me a point of view that supports your opinion? John 6:37-40 37 “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38...

Romans 11:22 This context is kindness not salvation. Hebrews 10:26-27 This verse does not speak to lose of salvation in the believer either. You are assuming the one receiving the knowledge of truth is also believing that knowledge onto a salvific faith then turning from it. The author could...

Sorry I guess I could have been more clear in this... I was replying to this. Your post: Note that Jesus tells us that the son who was secure with his father was dead and is alive AGAIN. OSAS is nothing more than a resurgence of the Pharisaic hypocrisy that Jesus constantly rebuked. My...

You can also be hated because you have a poor attitude. ;)

So therefore no supporting scripture... just more opinion and eisegesis. "We ARE secure - IF we continue to walk in the Spirit and DO the will of God (Matt. 7:21)." And those who are saved do the will of God and continue to walk in the Spirit, thats why they are called, chosen, predestined...

The funny thing is I actually agree more with the RC point of view and you call it erroneous.

The text is "χαριτόω: κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ κύριος μετὰ σοῦ" The rest is translation. Shalom!

Acts 26:19-20 19 “So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds...
