We disagree and you ignored the rest of my post.

Amen brother! :) 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. It is through faith (rightly understood) "in Christ alone" (and not based on the merits of our works) that we are justified based on Christ...

Grace is the unmerited favor of God in which God shows us mercy, kindness, and patience instead of the judgment that we deserve for sinning against Him. God's grace cannot be earned by our actions. Grace is based on the character of God and not on our sincerity, performance, or best efforts to...

USCCA is correct that gun control does not apply to criminals. They are not law abiding citizens. It's not nonsense. We are to love our neighbor as ourself, yet what if our neighbor sets out to rob, rape or kill a family member? We are to sit back, watch it happen and do nothing? There is quite...

I do believe all God revealed. I just don't believe your misinterpretation of scripture or Roman Catholic heresy. The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through belief/faith "apart from additions or modifications." (John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 6:29,40,47...

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. *What happened to baptism? Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized shall be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual...

So what is your solution? Disarm all law abiding citizens (Christians and non-Christians alike) in America so that only criminals will have guns and law abiding citizens will be helpless?

I've already explained this to you numerous times, but I am obviously just wasting my time beating a dead horse. Your lack of understanding and dishonesty makes it impossible to reason with you.

Amen! Thank you brother! It's nice to see that someone gets it. ;) I appreciate your honesty.

It's your arguments that are full of contradictions and you are too blind to see the truth. I already previously explained Hebrews 5:8-9 to you but I might as well be trying to explain algebra to my dog. Same result.

Salvation through faith, not works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) in no way implies that we produce no works AFTER we have been saved through faith in Christ alone. How many other conditions to be saved do you see in (John 3:15,16,18; 6:40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31; Romans 3:24-28...

Roman Catholics use this same bogus argument in an effort to "get around" the truth that salvation is through faith and not by works as well. Paul does not limit works merely to "works of the law" and when it comes to the moral aspect of the law, you cannot dissect good works from the law. In...

That's funny!

Wow, so much action. I obeyed by choosing to believe the gospel. That was so much action as well. Works salvation is what you live and breathe. Choosing to not look would have demonstrated a lack of belief. Just like choosing to not look to the Son for salvation also demonstrates a lack of...

You are a con artist.

Good grief. You turn everything into a work for salvation. :rolleyes: John 3:14 - Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up. That's the point you seem to miss. The Israelites who were bitten looked to the bronze serpent in faith to deliver them from...

Now you sound like a crafty lawyer. Genuine believers would not reject the command to be baptized, so your question about rejecting Jesus' command to be baptized is moot, yet if a believer was unable to receive water baptism because they were on their death bed (like the thief on the cross or a...

Genuine believers would not disobey Jesus' command to be baptized "after" they have been saved through faith and there multiple passages of scripture which make it clear that man is saved through belief/faith "apart from additions or modifications." (Luke 8:12; John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36...

I'm not taking anything out of context and I did read the entire chapter. Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus leads us right into John 3:14-18. Let's read it together - "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him...
