    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    How do you identify which humans need to be told about Acts 2:38 KJV?

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Whoa! Hypocrites are saved? Not so. God leads us to repentance, but I don't buy into Calvinist thinking which says God both leads us to and then does the repenting for us - it's our job to choose to repent. These "hypocrites" are lost, who "after thy hardness and impenitent heart" are destined...

    yes, that was a typo, thanks.

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    A concise summation of the issue is found in 1 John 2:3-4 KJV: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the Truth (Jesus) is not in him." So, if we believe "in" Jesus, we'll also believe "all...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    I'm a "Textus Receptus Only" Christian LOL I have ZERO faith in the Alexandrian or the Western MSS families: can we trust anything that came out of Alexandria, the very capital of satanic occultism itself, or the Western (Roman Catholic) family where after 2,000 years, Catholicism still can't...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Time and time again, I encounter professing Christians like you who don't understand the difference between the Just Man who falls and rises again by God's hand of grace, and the Presumptuous Man who climbs down into the filth, gets comfortable, swats away the uplifting hand of Jesus, and pushes...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Me too. It means the Just Man who doesn't cover his sins, but confesses and forsakes them is covered by God's mercy. As he treads the Path of the Just, he may slip and fall into sin, but cries out for God's mercy to reach down and lift him up and place him back on the path. The Presumptuous...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    These "many" can be none other than grace-saved saints and the evidence is right there in verse 12. These saints allowed abounding iniquity to kill their love cold and dead, making them even more spit-worthy from Jesus' mouth than the rejected Laodiceans who are merely lukewarm.

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    We mustn't discount "searing the conscience with a hot iron". Esau couldn't find repentance, not because God didn't provide opportunity, but because he blinded himself to it by searing his conscience through steadfast rebellion. Paul says "quench not the spirit". When a thirst is "quenched"...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    But, in the previous verse the men asked "What shall we do?"...and Peter replied, "Repent". How can we make this appear to teach anything else than what is plainly said here?
  11. Phoneman777

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    We can't allow one verse to teach the opposite of another...we must find a wayu to harmonizes both. 2 Timothy obviously refers to "give them opportunity to repent", which is what "leadeth thee to repentance" refers to. Otherwise, Acts 2:38 KJV is an uninspired verse, right or wrong?

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Wait, you've abandoned the RCC but you're not a "protestant"? How's that possible? "Protestantism" at its core means "protest against the teachings of the RCC". To split even finer hairs, the only true "protestant" recognized by the RCC is my denomination. From the RCC itself: "Reason and...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    That's how I read them. This morning, I logged onto my computer and a thought flashed in my brain to surf some porn...but I immediately thought, get behind me Satan, for it is written "Thou shalt not commit adultery" but my love for Jesus echoes the sentiment "of course, thou shalt not commit...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    So, what about Acts 2:38 KJV, where the apostle says it is our responsibility to choose to repent? Is there a Calvinist way of interpreting the verse otherwise? Because on its face it clearly says repentance is something the individual must do, not something that's done for him.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    True, the Ten Commandments were "codified" for a people enslaved in Egypt and ignorant of truth...but the law already existed before then. I think "ad" and "olam" in the Psalms refers to "eternity" seeing that they are used in the context of the affairs of God, namely, His writing of the Ten...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    There's only TEN, right? Is it really that hard to not have other gods before God? Or, to not worship idols? Or, to not blaspheme? Or, to not commit adultery? I worked 30 hours OT last week so believe me when I say today was a much needed Sabbath rest for me. It is really that hard to not click...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    The Pharisaic children of Satan paid off their satanic brethren to give false testimony about Jesus in order to find ground for which to condemn Him...have the tactics of the children of Satan changed after 2,000 years? Today, the same false ground upon which to condemn Christ's followers is as...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    So, at which point in the "forever and ever" existence of God's commandments do they cease to exist? If you're saying there will come a time when the Ten Commandments no longer exist, how can we explain Psalms 111:7-8 KJV which plainly says the commandments God made and wrote with His hands will...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Here's what I read in Scripture: 1. Romans 2:6 KJV plainly says God "leadeth thee to repentance". 2. Once we arrive, it's our responsibility to choose to repent: Acts 2:38 KJV 3. The choice to repent must be preceded by a choice to believe: Acts 2:38 KJV Can you see how salvation is accepted...

    Sorry, that was a typo...I meant Proverbs 28:13 KJV.
