Acts 3:19 - Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. *What happened to baptism? ;)

You misinterpret this to mean that Abraham was saved by works. Roman Catholics make the same error. In James 2:23, the scripture was fulfilled in vindicating or demonstrating that Abraham believed God and was accounted as righteous. Once again, Abraham was accounted as righteous based on his...

It's not enough to simply believe "mental assent" that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ "happened." Even the devil believes that. We must also trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL SUFFICIENT means of our salvation. That is what it means to "believe" the...

In regards to Romans 1:5 and Romans 16:26, although Paul can speak of people’s initial response of choosing to believe the gospel (Romans 1:16) as an act of obedience, in which he describes it as "obeying the gospel" (Romans 10:16), the purpose of Paul’s apostleship was not merely to bring...

The Catholic card here has absolute merit in regards to "adding" works "into" faith. Regardless of what else Catholics got right, both you and Catholics have the gospel wrong. I did not change anything. To accomplish a good work "by" faith is to accomplish a good work "out of" faith. That's...

From beginning "have been" (past tense, with ongoing present results) saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8) to end "receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls (1 Peter 1:9) salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works. Period. Justification is not a process. Romans 5:1...

It's called "type 2 works salvation" and it's s false gospel. (Galatians 1:6-9) 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. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). Christ's finished work of...

Ad nauseam indeed. Now in regards to 1 John 1:7, in 1 John 1:6, we read - 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...

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words Earnest 1: ἀρραβών (Strong's #728 — Noun Masculine — arrabon — ar-hrab-ohn' ) originally, "earnest-money" deposited by the purchaser and forfeited if the purchase was not completed, was probably a Phoenician word, introduced into Greece. In general...

DeSantis pushes back on CNN reporter's question about late Lee County evacuation order: 'Where were you?' Give me a break! :rolleyes:

Look at the reaction from the Jews in John 10:33 - The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." The Jews clearly understood Jesus’ statement as a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus did not...

Acvording to Scripture, all three Persons of the Trinity were involved in the resurrection of Jesus. Romans 10:9 says that God raised Jesus from the dead and Galatians 1:1 says that God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. 1 Peter 3:18 says that the Spirit raised Jesus from the dead and Romans...

1 Corinthians 2:11 - For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have...

It's taught in the Bible. You just don't have eyes to see.

My red flag raises for a "different" Jesus who is not God and a "different" gospel that cannot save. There is one God in essence/nature yet three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and you will NEVER convince me otherwise.

My point about a mystery in Scripture is that it's not always meant to remain a mystery. Both the gospel and the Trinity are crystal cleat for those who have eyes to see. There are those who preach a "different" Jesus and a "different" gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4)

It's crystal clear for those who are able to see and a mystery in Scripture is not meant to always remain a mystery. See Ephesians 3:1-9 and Colossians 1:26-27 for example.

John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already...

It's crystal clear from Scripture that Jesus is God. The KJV and other translations express the same meaning in Colossians 2:9. Colossians 2:9 - For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (KJV) Colossians 2:9 - For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (NKJV)...
