I would agree with that statement.

They are blotted out, thus accounted as having never been saved--I don't pick and choose, I believe it all.

Yeah, still, "not all Israel is Israel", and anyone who is cut off is no longer accounted among His saints, so He has kept His Word irrespectively. The issue is I need to believe it all, whereas you're apparently satisfied with believing little slivers of the Word.

No, the Catholic Church does not offer the explanation I do--I had to get those answers from God. Whatever the Catholics teach doesn't satisfy all questions. Let the reader be the judge: if you don't walk by faith you're "condemned" (Ro 14:23), and "God's righteousness" whereby we are...

I don't believe in sinless perfectionism, so I don't think that's what it refers to.

The Scripture says "the Law is weakened through the flesh"--because it relies on the sinful flesh to perform good deeds, it is a "weak" method of righteousness. Gal 3:3 also, referring to the works of the Law, describes it as "flesh". The question as to how these things are is another...

I don't care what they hold--Jesus, the Lamb, is God in the OT. Note that in both cases people are blotted out for sinning against Him. Note the connection between righteousness and Life--sinners are blotted out of the book in both cases. Yeah, Christ says "to the one who overcomes", yet "this...

Your entire "system" makes no sense, is riddled with logical fallacies, Scriptural bankruptcy, and explanatory inability.

The difference between the works that do not save and the works James refers to is WHO DOES THEM. The fault with the works of the Law is that they are performed by the sinful flesh (Ro 8:3; Gal 3:3), but works of grace by faith ("faith works by love"--"God is love", and is "at work in us to will...

So simple--no self delusional Olympic level mental gymnastics needed. Self-explanatory.

This should be believed and said about all those who are in Christ--and, then, if anyone is "blotted out", it no longer applies, because they are accounted as having never been in Christ in the first place, so it's perfectly consistent.

I ask God when I find difficulties in the Bible. Your solution to the irreconcilable doctrines is to say "God used to do those things but my God changes--He's not the same yesterday today and forever". Yes, their righteousness of faith is not remembered before God, so the spiritually minded...

He says that because they're blotted out, their righteousness of faith is not remembered, so that it is as though they were never saved in the first place. Again, your God changes, mine still blots people out of His Book.

1. No, I said FASTING DID NOT YIELD RESULTS, BUT BRINGING MY DIFFICULTIES WITH SCRIPTURE AND MY Life TO GOD DID YIELD RESULTS, SO, BEFORE YOU RELY ON FASTING, FIRST TRY BRINGING YOUR DIFFICULTIES TO GOD. 2. God says we're not supposed to reveal when we fast, so I don't think I want to talk...

1. You didn't answer the question: So they don't have faith even though he says "you stand by your faith"? 2. The same ones to whom Paul says "you stand by your faith" the warning "if you disbelieve, you too will be cut off" is given. God includes ("grafts in") believers into His people, God...

So, they don't have faith, even though he says "you stand by your faith"?

1. Some people do actually deny believers can fall away by unbelief. 2. Romans 11, which I shared, explicitly teaches believers can be "cut off".

I had so many questions about the Bible I didn't want to consult these writings--I wanted to understand the Scripture first--but now that I learned to bring my difficulties to God, and let God answer them, I'm getting standing in Scripture, so I won't mind reading these other men. Thanks.

Here it is again: Romans 11 20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22See then the kindness and severity of God: to those who fell...

Faith is monotheism; unbelief is idolatry. The Gospel is breathed and empowered by God's Spirit, for God's glory. The false Gospel is breathed and empowered by demons, for demons' glory. When we believe God justifies by Christ we receive God's love. When we disbelieve it is like eating from the...
