    Andy Stanley Apostasy

    You sure seem to take great pleasure in judging and condemning others, which is very telling. Now are you saying that ALL Christians in the OSAS camp will be condemned to hell? So anyone who agrees with even just one point of TULIP or agrees with any part of reformed theology at all will be...

    What is "OSAS"?

    In James 2:15-16, the example of a "work" that James gives is: "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?" To give a...

    What is "OSAS"?

    I've heard the saved by "these" works (works of faith/good works) and just not "those" works (works of the law) argument before but it's a bogus argument.

    What is "OSAS"?

    In James 2:20, "faith without works is dead" does not mean that faith is dead until it produces works and then it becomes a living faith or that works are the source of life in faith. That would be like saying that a tree is dead until it produces fruit and then it becomes a living tree, and the...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the...

    about Suicide

    In regard to Galatians 6:7-8, the one who is continuously (Greek present tense) sowing to his own corrupt, flesh which is opposed to God and unrenewed by the Holy Spirit shall of the flesh reap corruption. Our life here is sowing of one kind or another. But he who sows to the Spirit shall of the...

    about Suicide

    In Hebrews 3:8-10, we read - Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years. Therefore, I was angry with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they have not...

    There Is No Middle Ground; You Are For Or Against; You Believe Or Your Don’t = Romans 1;28-32

    Luke 18:9 - Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others/viewed others with contempt/looked down on everyone else. 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. *Notice all the upcoming "I"...

    about Suicide

    How about a little context. In Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally"...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    My frown reactions signify I don't agree with your doctrine, which culminates in works-righteousness, self-righteousness and self-preservation, which is similar to what Roman Catholicism teaches. :( I'm sure these many people in Matthew 7:22 were sincere about trying to follow Scripture as...

    OSAS being False Doctrine!

    It's actually another example of your eisegesis and anti-OSAS derangement syndrome. Simon the sorcerer is said to have “believed and was baptized” at the preaching of Philip (Acts 8:13) but later, when Simon offers the apostles money to have their ability to impart the Holy Spirit (verses...

    about Suicide

    Amen! 1 John 1:8 - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, (past tense) we make Him...

    What does a 'minister of the devil" teach?

    I don't deny scripture. Only your eisegesis. Speaking of slander, in post #5, you said - "Do you see yet how years of false teachings from the tradition of men put you contrary to the scriptures without you realizing it?" Don't be hypocritical.

    about Suicide

    Romans 3:25 (AMP) - whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His...

    Speak of the devil. Don't you ever get tired of trolling?

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    False and that error leads to saved by works/works-righteousness in contradiction to scripture. (Romans 4:5-6; 5:1-2; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..) Works are the fruit, by product and demonstrative evidence of faith but not the very essence of faith and...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    You turn everything into 'works salvation' and 'losing salvation.' Brings back painful memories for me of how miserable I was when I believed that as well, prior to my conversion while still attending the Roman Catholic church several years ago. :( James is not using the word "justified" to...
