And he has the audacity to accuse me of contradictions and inconsistencies. :rolleyes:

I already explained to you that there is a difference between the obedient act of choosing to believe the gospel (Romans 10:16) and multiple acts of obedience/works which “follow.” No contractions or inconsistencies on my part. You just don’t understand and there is a reason for that. (1...

Paul clearly states saved by grace through faith, NOT WORKS and in James 2:24, James is not using the word "justified" here to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my...

Of course. Titus teaches faith + works (for salvation) any way you slice it.

No contradictions. You just don’t get it and it’s you who is under strong delusion. We are saved FOR good works and NOT BY good works. (Ephesians 2:8-10) Jesus' play on words here in John 6:29 when he said, "This is the work (singular) of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent," when He...

No contradiction at all. There is a difference between the obedient act of choosing to believe the gospel and multiple acts of obedience/works which “follow” choosing to believe the gospel. Just like there is a difference between obeying God’s will in order to become saved (John 6:40) and I’ll...

Yes. We obey the gospel by choosing to believe the gospel. Romans 10:16 - But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Read

Some people jump to the conclusion that John is talking about believers committing sin that leads them to spiritual death, but that does not fit the context. 1 John 5:16 - If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who...

That statement is the epitome of irony.

I already thoroughly explained all of this to you in my previous post, but the truth just keeps going right over your head. :(

Once again, Hebrews 3:14 - For we have become [past tense Gk. verb, gegonamen, meaning we have become already] partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end. Notice that this is essentially a repeat of verse 6, where we have read: but Christ was...

Unfortunately, I see the truth that I explained to you in Hebrews 3:12-14 and Hebrews 4:1-2 is too hard for you to swallow. Not all of the Jews who came out of Egypt were saved. Jude 1:5 - Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out...

Was just curious. I run into a lot of Catholics on here who teach salvation by works and strongly oppose eternal security of the believer. By the way, where do you attend church?

Are you a Roman Catholic?

No that is not what John is teaching. Notice that 1 John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" is IN CONTRAST WITH - "If we say that we have no sin (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in...

According to your logic everyone ‘practices’ sin and is going to hell, contrary to 1 John 3:9. (NASB) Hebrews 3:8 - Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. 10 Therefore I was...

To "sin willfully" 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" fall into a pit called sin. We exercise our will but, the use...

1 John 5:16 - If anyone sees his brother [believer] committing a sin that does not [lead to] death (the extinguishing of life), he will pray and [God] will give him life [yes, He will grant life to all those whose sin is not one leading to death]. There is a sin [that leads] to death; I do not...

That explains a lot.
