Ahh... good... but you disagreed that the sin could compromise your justification which is taught in Romans 14:23. Eternal life is in the Son--remain in the Son and retain the Life, but He also warns the branches that don't abide in the Vine are thrown in the fire. Just following the Bible...

1. Yes, we do have eternal life--since there are Scriptures that teach "eternal life is a harvest" and a "repayment for good deeds", clearly, and we can't have Scripture contradicting Scripture, we have to find a way to reconcile these. Now, Peter speaks of being "fruitful in the knowledge of...

So in your world "God said" Jesus keeps people who don't keep His Word. Interesting "take".

Yes, the Word keeps those who keep the Word (eg, Revelation 3:10)--those who keep Christ's Word will be kept by Christ, but the branches that fall away will be thrown in the fire. Easy! So, again, the life is in the Son, so we are warned to remain in the Son, or else we won't have the life. If...

1. Again, 1 Corinthians shows the Church sins a lot. James also says "we all err in many ways". Therefore, the idea that "if we have faith we will automatically only do good because we can't sin" is a false way of reading 1 John. History reproves your misreading. Your own life reproves your...

I don't want to get into it here but I would have to follow Deuteronomy 32:5 and say we can be "unborn".

LOL So why did the disciples have tongues on fire on Pentecost when they were baptized in the Spirit?

1. Clearly it is not the case that "being a Christian automatically means you do good deeds" when we read 1 Corinthians 5 where one of them had his father's wife and the rest of the Church was boasting about his sin. 2. So, then, you agree that eternal life is a harvest that is going to be...

I haven't seen a contradiction in my interpretations only you have claimed you have seen contradictions but you have yet to prove there are.

Correction : 1 John not only says "Spirit of Truth" but even "the Spirit is the Truth". Thanks.

So, again, "He will baptize with Spirit and fire" refers to just one baptism--just because "and" is there doesn't mean "Spirit and fire" refers to "two".

So, yes, we are born of the Word of God, according to Peter, and, yes, "My Word is Spirit", so they are tightly bound together, and Jesus says "I am the Truth" and 1 John says "the Spirit is the Truth". You have disproven precisely nothing of what I've asserted.

"Obey for it is God at work"--you are told to obey even though it's God at work. Go figure.

Galatians 6:6-10 says eternal life is a harvest reaped in due time those who sow good deeds. Romans 2:6-16 says doers of good will be repaid eternal life. What is your answer?

Well, show me how I was wrong in my interpretation. If you have shown my interpretation was wrong by merely saying "such and such a Scripture", then I refute your Scripture by merely saying "such and such a Scripture", too. See how that works?

You said something to the effect that "it sounds like very few are being saved" and I agreed Jesus's teaching is just that. What do you have to say? Nothing.

You are the one "mixing"--Romans 14:23 says justification is compromised by sin. James 2 says the same. Romans 2:6-16 says the same. Galatians 6:6-10 says the same.

The Scripture tells US "obey because God is at work". If YOU misunderstand that as "God may fail" that's not my fault.

So, Paul refutes Paul? LOL! That's an "interesting" way of reading Scripture! No thanks!

So, which part did you not like? The part where I cited Scripture or the part where I cited Scripture? LOL! You just don't like what I have to say because you have no way of defending your partial doctrines ("I'm forgiven, God isn't mad at me! I'm at peace with God!") against the other part I'm...
