All OUR righteousness is as filthy rags. Good Works are God's. If you look at when God uses the term "Good works" it 11 out of 12 time it's speaking of things either God does or we do in service of God (as prescribed by him).

That is an interesting thought and I would never take away from human acts of kindness. I applaud all acts of kindness. They aren't proof of faith nor are they righteous. Isaiah 64:6 KJV But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as...

You are correct. You orovided me with two prominent explanations and your summary of them. All of which I found pretty boring. But i labored through them. You did not give a Biblical explanation but I did.. So what? Are you somehow saying I said you did? I don't respond to innuendos. Not...

I quote the OP: "Total depravity or total inability means that every part of the human being - the will, intellect, affections and human actions - is corrupted with sin." I tend to read sentances and essays word by word. I tend to consider each individual word as important. Thus, I sense you...

To repeat the question: Does the Bible support the notion that every part of the human being - the will, intellect, affections and human actions - is corrupted with sin? There are many verses that come to mind that support the affirmative. That is, IF we are talking about the flesh and not...

Aside from your usual assertation that the Bible isn't the word of God, you made a point I can agree on,but for the wrong reason. When John wrote the book of Revelation, he was indeed speaking of the very book he was writing. I contend its speaking of the whole Bible for 3 reasons: 1. I...

Jeaus wasn't saying that scripturedid or did not hold eternal life. It was never his point. His point was that the scripture was pointing to him. He was telling the Jews that they weren't understanding what the scriptures said. In short, he wasn't downgrading their importance at all... He...

Of course the Bible is the written word. They also contain words that were once spoken. Still no less potent. 2 Cor 3:6, by the way, is speaking of the Law of Moses and more specifically the 10 Commandments when it speaks of the letter (not the Bible).

Well, I don't know what a "consisten bell" is. I certainly don't have one that I know of. Normally I don't harp on grammar or spelling. But yours is so bad that I have no idea what you are trying to say. Every man is a liar according to the Bible. If you are in flesh, you are a liar. All...

The text for this topic: Rev 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: [19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of...

Calling HTE a liar was out of line. I don't agree with him for various reasons... But there is a difference between calling someone a liar and tackling the arguement... Even calling the arguement, "garbage"... If you can back it up.

I gotta side with Stranger. I can answer many of those questions, but I need the Bible to do it. Its the only primary and public source we have. If you don't hold it as the words of God.... I can't discuss it with you. The bottom line is that far too many people have developed their view of...

Yea, I second that....

Thx

Without agreeing or disagreeing... Awesome post 7angels. I for one appreciate pastors. Even ones that aren't preaching the whole truth I sympathize with. As if. I am qualified to give any words of encoyragement, i would tell any Pastor or emmissionary to stay strong and preach the truth...

I have already explained to you why that book which you loathe so much does give me life. It IS the words of Jesus which he said are spirit and life. I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God even unto salvation. I have more than adequately explained all this to you and fielded...

No... Paul preached and was totally backed by the Bible. The Bereans were able to verify what he said from the written word. I have faith and like the Bereans i can back it up. Romans 10 says faith comes by hearingand hearing by the word of God. And it also says you can't hear without a...

Ok. I have to stop reading the Bible so i can go on an adventure which is God? Sorry Mjrhealth.... I will stick to the written testimony of God above that voice in your head.

That is true kepha... But i am not going to separate what Jesus said from him. Jesus is the Word and the Bible is the Word of God. Please see my post in the theology board for a more thorough explanation.

God is doing a great work in you. You undoubtedly are struggling with your questions. I suggest to you that great battles yield great victories. Hell is real and sjould be taken seriously. But salvation is too. And its greater than hell. Perhaps you should work towards focusing on the...
