    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Some translations properly render houtos in v2 as “that” and properly refer to “that” in v3 with the word “it.” You gave me your word. As a man of honor, everyone knows how important that is. You broke it. Personification is uncalled for.

    Many translations use Satan for adversary in this verse. More Circular Reasoning on your part for the verse cited answers your question. What are you doing f2f?

    Refusing again to answer the question of what you make of it means we are not really having a conversation. I don't know why you do that but have a nice day.

    For us, the wages of sin is death. This is mercy. For immortal beings, the wages of sin is eternal torment in the Lake of Fire. You know this.

    I didn’t ask what it does say but what you make of it.

    It's amazing the things one reads on the internet.

    Circular Reasoning. What Scripture verse states that Divine nature cannot sin - impossible? Also, what do you make of Christ saying he saw Satan falling from the heights? Luke 10:18

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Appeal to Majority. In criminal cases, you only have to prove beyond "reasonable" doubt." No system of justice requires proof beyond ALL doubt, including unreasonable Redfan doubt. Let me ask you this. How can anything be X and with X at the same time? What are the possible list of answers?

    Just asking a simple question. If you cannot answer simply, so be it.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    No, it's a true dichotomy. The options and consequences are: Salvation by grace requires no works on our part. Salvation by works requires no humility on our part. The follow up question is if salvation is by grace, then why do works? The reason is because it is our greatest honor to be of...

    "Christians Who Don't Attend Church Are Lazy"

    I serve where I can now. I don’t go primarily for me anymore. I’m an elder and love to mentor those new in Christ. Funny thing. I get more out of going now that I don’t go for my benefit.

    "Christians Who Don't Attend Church Are Lazy"

    I rely on the Holy Spirit. No, I do not evangelize at every moment. Rather, I believe building a relationship with the person is a vital pre-requisite. I have to work to earn the person's trust and confidence. How I know this is not a sin is that I do not feel convicted by the Holy Spirit. Hope...

    "Christians Who Don't Attend Church Are Lazy"

    Isn't it though? My church says that statistics show the last part of a converts life that they turn over to God is their finances. Now, I'm not saying I tithe 10% myself. But I do recognize it as a spiritual issue. Christ gave all for us. What are we willing to give to him? ALL for ALL seems...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Sure you do. And you don't get math. The identity is 3 x 1, which does not equal 1. Fortunately, Scripture is explicit on the matter. There is only "God the Father" and this is unmistakenly in every Epistle. The reason there is no other God (such as, "God the HS" or "God The Son) is because...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    More nuanced? I can say I will get my wife another cup of coffee. That's different than somone else actually did. See the difference?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I must have missed that. On what grounds did this go to a governmental court?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Thank you for this post. The disconnect is the claim that YHWH's name appears 200 times in the NT. I'd love a reference or translation that affirms this. Thanks! :)

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    You mean like Peter did? I really don't understand your proto-thought question. No such thing ever happened. Trinitarians confuse prepositions (OF, 'O, FROM, IN) with verbs (IS).

    "Christians Who Don't Attend Church Are Lazy"

    Ever hear of a converse statement? It is when you change the subject and object of a statement. An example is "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares." It is an important factor in logic, in identifying what is true and what is not true and why it is not true. I believe...
