I did not ignore 1 John 1:7. See post #275. You seem to confuse 'descriptive' passages of scripture with 'prescriptive' passages of scripture which is common among works-salvationists. Go back and read post #275 again. I properly harmonized scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion...

Amen and well said! Such people have an issue with PRIDE.

You can say all you want to works-salvationists/unbelievers but they will continuously fail to grasp what is being said and there is a reason for that. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14; 2 Corinthians 4:3,4) Man is saved through faith (that trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation) and not by works...

Response to Bible Highlighter: I already covered many of these same passages of scripture that you and other works-salvationists twist and use to teach salvation by works. You are a broken record and maybe you believe that if you continue to beat me over the head with these same broken record...

Bible Highlighter said: #7. John 3:36 (The Greek word “apeitheō” used in John 3:36 for the English words: “believeth not” (KJB) is translated as “obey not” or “disobedient” in other English bible verses. For example: 1 Peter 3:1, and 1 Peter 3:20 translates apeitheō as “obey not” or...

So saved by good works, yet God gets the credit? Oxymoron. Christ gets 100% credit for our salvation and Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption ALONE and not based on the merits of our works. Obedience to the faith is not salvation by works as you...

LoveGodsWord makes the same error that you make. You both confuse the Christian faith, the New Testament apostolic body of doctrines with personal faith in Christ that brings salvation. (Ephesians 2:8) By saying that everything in the New Testament is faith itself, it makes it much easier to...

Faith also finishes off as belief or trust in Jesus Christ as one's Savior which means we are trusting in Him ALONE for salvation from beginning (Ephesians 2:8) to end (1 Peter 1:9). Faith that also trusts in works for salvation and NOT in Christ ALONE is a divided, invalid faith that cannot...

In post #228 you falsely accused me of promoting Ray Comfort of Living Waters (who you said clearly teaches turning God's grace into a license to sin like I believe) (here is the post) AND YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON! You are so determined to indict me on promoting a license to sin that you will...

You need to spend your valuable time seriously considering the truth which I shared with you in multiple posts. Apparently you believe that you have sinned in the past but no longer sin at all in the present. If you claim that you have no sin (present tense) 1 John 1:8 describes you...

China establishes police station in New York City Why do we need a Chinese police station in New York?

So it's not just me. ;) Well said! The truth hurts, but bible highlighter really needs to hear it and we may just be wasting our time beating a dead horse by continuing to chat with him, but there are others who may have ears to hear and may also benefit from these discussions.

More eisegesis which is no surprise. 1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from...

Amen Pearl!

You nailed it!

More eisegesis and bias. Show me the specific words, "lost his salvation." According to your legalistic salvation formula, anyone who falls short of exhaustive inventory confession and/or sinless perfection is going to hell. You are not the judge of David or the judge of the universe. You really...

You need to learn to read scripture in context and understand who the audience is here. Your eisegesis has reached the point of nauseam. I don't reject the words of Jesus. I just reject your eisegesis. You are not my judge and I really don't appreciate your slander or your legalism. I don't see...

I believe Jesus and I've seen people abuse and misuse the words of Jesus here in John 5:14 and John 8:11 to demand sinless perfection, yet none of us meet that standard and Jesus cannot compromise his perfect, holy standard, so of course He is not going to say, "go and just sin a little bit." In...

Notice that - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (vs. 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 (vs. 8) and - If we say that we have...
