    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You remind me of a childish troll who loves to hurl insults and stir up contention and also who must have the last word in any argument.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I already thoroughly covered Galatians 5:4 in post #426 but I really did not expect you to understand.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I already thoroughly covered Romans 11 in post #389. You need to stop acting like a childish agitator and troll. It's getting old. Now in regard to Philippians 2:12, notice that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and NOT "work for" your salvation. The Greek verb rendered "work out" means "to...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I'm sure that I'm not the only OSAS believer on this board who is rolling their eyes at your posts. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I already covered Romans 8 in post #400. Now in regard to Galatians 5:4, the present tense of the word "justified" in Galatians 5:4 implies that these Galatians were contemplating justification by the law. But had they fully come to that place yet? They were obviously getting sidetracked by...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I don't cherry pick. I read scripture in context and properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Notice that - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) is in contrast to - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8) and - If we say...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Walking according to the flesh is 'descriptive' of non-Christians and walking according to the Spirit is 'descriptive' of children of God. Only genuine believers sow to the Spirit and from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Romans 8:8 - So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9...

    Is that true? o_O

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    John is not promoting a false religion, but you are. Again, 1 John 2:4 is 'descriptive' of pseudo-Christians/make believers and NOT genuine believers. 2 John 1:9 - Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (descriptive of pseudo-Christians/make believers) does not have...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I believe John. I just don't believe your eisegesis. 1 John 2:4 is 'descriptive' of pseudo-Christians/make believers.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I have already covered John 15 in posts #297, #300 and also along with John 8 in post #374. The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Such folks are all about SELF. 1. SELF promotion. 2. SELF preservation. 3. SELF righteousness.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Yet ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS. Hmm.. 1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I have only refuted your eisegesis and I have not denied the truth. Since you teach salvation by works, I don't expect you to know the difference. Out of the 12 disciples, who failed to abide in Jesus? Only Judas Iscariot, who was not a genuine believer, but was an unbelieving, unclean devil who...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You are beginning to sound like a disgruntled troll. All you have left is biased opinions and childish insults. I'm not surprised you left the rest of my post to fade away never to be read or reposted again. Your beliefs are fixed, and you obviously don't want to be confused with the facts...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I'm really not interested in your biased opinions, or judgment calls and this is no laughing matter. Over the years on various Christian forum sites, I've had multiple conversations with numerous folks like yourself who suffer from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome, and it never...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. - DESCRIPTIVE of unbelievers. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. - DESCRIPTIVE of believers.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I already thoroughly refuted your eisegesis in post #297 and #300. You have no rebuttal. Just your repeated eisegesis.
