Thank you. It's a reasonable request. I really want to move the discussion forward; the best way is for people to quote what I've stated, and address it. If they want to disagree, show from immediate context why I've misunderstood, and only afterward furnish additional Scriptural evidence, from...

No, I don't agree. I affirm that people can be righteous, and know God, and still have error in their understanding of Scripture--and I do not say "they're going hell" just because they're mistaken and disagree with me.

As I've stated before, I've never objected to the "eternality" of the life, I've only addressed man's "eligibility" for receiving the life. "God has given us eternal life, and the life is in His Son" (1 Jn 5:11). So, to partake of the life, we must "abide in Him" where the "eternal life" is...

You failed to address the Scriptural bases for what was stated. What you did was say, "look away from what he's saying--look over here at what I'm saying!" not address the soundness of what was stated.

I've already addressed justification. We're justified by the righteousness of hearing with faith, as that reveals God's righteousness; we are also told that God will judge us on the last day, and only those who do good will be justified (Ro 2:6-16). We're also told that a believer's...

Well, the same guy who wrote that (John) gives explicit instructions on abiding--it's by obeying 1) believe in the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another. We don't have to guess.

Yup, when we believe, we're obeying one of the commands He gave for abiding in Him (the other is "love one another" by "walking in faith"--"faith works by love"), so we're supplied with the Spirit. You're only agreeing with me on that.

It's late here. Good night.

I've already responded : God can and has disowned His children, so this "born again" that you keep raising, as if no one knows about it, as if it's some novelty, solves nothing.

I'm not even saying these people don't know God just because they are "foggy" on what the Bible teaches. I don't think God waits for people to have perfect doctrine before they can know God. I would argue that they DO know God, but that doesn't mean they're right about Scripture--they don't...

Go away. I do not care what you believe if it's not the topic.

You don't need to wonder, or pray for "God" to reveal some deep secret about why I don't want you FLOODING my thread. I have explained to you in DETAIL already. Go make your own thread about the topics you want to FLOOD my discussion with.

Please finally DO IT! GO AWAY. Quit FLOODING my thread! Go open your own thread and ramble over there!

I've already answered him. You may respond to the answer I've supplied.

1 John 4:1 says "test the spirits", and, so, the book is full of criteria whereby spirits may be tested. One of the ways you can test someone's claim that they are of God is by whether they keep Christ's commands ("believe in the Name of God's Son and love one another"). If they're not doing...

1. I didn't mean to denigrate you, I was saying that all of us Christians shouldn't allow ourselves to be moved by liars. 2. I agree with keeping the righteous requirement of the Law (Ro 3:31, 8:4, 13:8-10). The Gentile believers, who did not have the Law, were deemed "doers of the Law", and...

Study, sure, and, most importantly, pray.

You think God's Law doesn't change? God gave a Holy Command to commit incest in Genesis 1: "be fruitful and multiply" is, at the very minimum, a command for sister and brother to have sexual relations. Acts 17 26And He made from one man every nation... TODAY, however, we know that God has...

Who says "if it's part of the 10" that means anything (that commemorating God's rest after creating will never go through a change)? Yeah, we need to "rest from our labors or else we'll die": the Law (a special form of the more general "knowledge of good and evil" all men are born under) relies...

What is the basis of the 7th Day Sabbath? It commemorate God's rest from creating the creation. If we are told there is new creation, then hasn't God created again, and wouldn't God rest again, and wouldn't there be a new commemoration for that new rest? Yeah, it's an opinion--based on principle.
