You actually never addressed the verses which I raised, which teach, clearly, men will be repaid eternal life, not just ambiguous "rewards", for doing good--and, if they don't do good, they're storing up wrath for themselves, instead, and will die and not live. I apologize--I am a simple person...

So, am I wrong for quoting Scripture proving eternal life will be repaid doers of good?

I agree--still, it irks me when people pass their lies off as if it were Biblical truth. That's why I'm addressing the issue. Also, Paul says we are to present our members to God as instrument of righteousness, and that if we obey sin we will be slaves of sin, so, apparently, there is still...

So, you actually AGREE that only doers of good will be repaid eternal life? OK, we're on the same page!

I thought that was what I was doing by trusting His Word.

Romans 8:12,13 says Christians will not live (not be repaid eternal life for good deeds) but die if you walk after the flesh instead of mortifying the seeds of flesh by the Spirit--Romans 2 warns the Jewish believers in the Roman Church they're storing up wrath for themselves.

What you are doing, deceptively (intentionally or not), is creating a distinction between the words "reward" and "eternal life" that simply doesn't exist in Scripture: eternal life is the reward He repays the doers of good according to the passages of Scripture I shared.

Sorry, Scripture teaches me eternal life is repaid doers of good, and nothing you've said has changed anything. Your tradition is anti-Biblical as far as I can tell.

When I read Scripture, I don't find that (though I know which verse you've been taught to shoehorn in, here); I find that men are repaid eternal life, not mere "rewards", in return for their doing good deeds. Sir, are you asking me to just ignore all of these Scriptures, and believe in you...

In a sense, I agree, but, in another sense, the fact that eternal life is (despite the fact that we do already have it (1 Jn 5)) a harvest reaped in due time only by those who do good deeds by God's Grace should also be considered, not dismissed as if it fitted neatly. We should challenge our...

Same book says "if you know these things, blessed are you if you do them", and "I know the command of God is eternal life, so, I speak and do as I'm told", and "we must work the works of Him Who sent me" and "the Father works and I work" and "no greater love has anyone than to lay his life down...

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

@Arthur81 You "forgot" to answer a previous post where your arguments were dismantled on your favorite topic you are attempting to confuse people about. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/homosexuality-wrong-or-right.58195/page-88#post-1744265

We're free from serving by the Law (all of it), because Jesus is "God Is Our Righteousness", whereas what is produced by the Law is "a righteousness of my own", so the Law is no longer the method of righteousness/service to God, but, rather, knowing Christ is the method of glorifying God by...

Guy, you just dug your own grave with this post. New Covenant believers aren't "under Law", because we have grace we're under, but Paul does say the Law was not made for righteous people, but to condemn homosexuals, and says homosexuality is "contrary to sound doctrine" (1 Ti 1:9+). Not sure...

Lol it's literally right there

"Obsession"? No, YOU are a false accuser. Evangelicals preach against all kinds of sins. You act like you don't know this. When Evangelicals preach against homosexuality, it is only to affirm what Christians have affirmed for millennia--and if there is a little more preaching and teaching...

You concede that homosexuality is condemned in Scripture (I mean, you have to to have any semblance of dignity on a Bible forum), but you want to then inject and introduce this foreign idea that NOT ALL homosexuality is condemned, but only some sorts... Again, IF THIS WERE THE CASE, we would...

Any man who lies with another man is committing an abomination. There is no configuration of male-male sexual relationships (bc you and others claim some of these relationships are terrible, but some of them are acceptable) that does not result in a man lying with another man; therefore, it's...

Not sure how I am supposedly lying to myself. Not sure what I was supposed to have said that did not agree.
