You misunderstood. To clarify, what I meant by what I said was that you hadn't even addressed the text and the doctrine--that is, had you realized/acknowledged the empty objection you raised had already been addressed, you wouldn't even have attempted responding in the way you had (you would...

Your non-answer is what isn't correct : again, Paul's teaching is that there is a direct correspondence between the Jews' salvation and baptism and the Christians' salvation and baptism, and that, accordingly, Christians are also to understand there is a corresponding reality in the Christian...

This was already answered Paul's doctrine here states that even you're saved by the blood of the Lamb, and baptized into Christ, that means nothing if you live in sin, because you will fall under God's wrath and will not inherit the Promise.

Things 1 Corinthians 10 teaches that you haven't the ability to form an argument against : 1) The Jews were "saved" (from Egypt, and God's judgment on Egypt, by the Blood of a Lamb) 2) The Jews were "baptized" (into Moses in the Red Sea) 3) The Jews, though both "saved" and "baptized", fell...

"They are no longer His children Because they are corrupt" Deuteronomy 32:5 These things were written to Christians 1 Corinthians 9:9-10, 1 Corinthians 10:11 to teach us the faith (how Christianity works) 2 Timothy 3:15. This is mixing things up. "Christ died in vain" refers to the error of...

Sorry, I don't ignore the Scripture that tells me "beholding then the kindness and severity of God". I will not close my eyes to Scripture that warns me that just because I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb and baptized it doesn't mean I can't fall under God's wrath and fail to inherit the...

The Jews were "saved" from Egypt by the blood of a Lamb and baptized and yet they fell under God's wrath--this same thing can happen to Christians today. If you disagree, you disagree with Paul 1 Corinthians 10.

This is literally a repetition of what I just said was wrong with your argument based on a misunderstanding of Paul's argument from Galatians--he doesn't mean "no works at all" just "not works that come from you"--so this is negligible and my point stands. Again, our "salvation" from sin and...

"I have more insight than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation." Psalm 119:99 1) "Teachers" (eg, "Early Church Fathers") are not the last word--God can grant understanding in excess of theirs, 2) Only meditating on God's Word, the OT Scriptures, grants that superior insight...

What does the "nope" mean? What are you trying to deny? Are you denying they heard the Gospel and received the Spirit? Paul is explicit that they heard the Gospel and received the Spirit. "Did you receive the Spirit by hearing with faith or by works of the Law?" That means he knows they...

I trust the Word as well--the Word I shared, which you haven't dealt with. Oops! You're confusing "flesh" as if it referred to anything we're expected to do. No, under the New Covenant we have grace and we work God's works. Those works aren't flesh and aren't filthy rags but God's own works...

Paul said "I do not count myself as having already attained... I press on to lay hold on that for which Christ laid hold on me" "lay hold on the eternal life". This goes together with "those who do good today will reap eternal life when they are judged" Galatians 6:6-10. Luckily for...

1. No, Paul warned them to check and make sure they had not left the faith (eg, as many of the Galatians had) 2 Corinthians 13:5. Paul didn't think people couldn't fall away. That's why even though they'd already had Christ preached to them, and had received the Spirit Galatians 3:1-5, Paul was...

"His People" turned back after having had faith, and this serves as a warning to us, irrespective your manmade tradition which rejects the Bible, according to 1 Corinthians 10, and shows my interpretation Romans 14:23 as a warning ("sin condemns") is valid. Stop denying reality.

You know, I can't say I agree with every single word, but I can say I am grateful for people who have and promote God's grace--and knowing God is better than any healing!

Even with that, there is a way of viewing (a "persuasion" Galatians 5:8) how to "be perfected" (do God's will, grow to maturity) Galatians 3:3 that effectively negates one's initial faith profession, and results in such a person being cut off from Christ and fallen from His grace Galatians...

In fact, I still don't know what to do with those Scriptures, but I am resting on Christ's death and resurrection for now.

Many times, yes. I still struggled with how I'd perceived many other Scriptures. The Bible has many other Scriptures. (LOL)
