    Good Works Vs Works Of The Law

    True or False. When it comes to the moral aspect of the law, you cannot dissect good works from the two great commandments. (Matthew 22:37-40; Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18; James 2:15-16)

    Spiritual Narcissism

    I view a "spiritual narcissist" as one who has excessive interest in or admiration of oneself in spiritual matters, which includes an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration in spiritual matters. Such people seem to believe they have all the...

    OSAS Question

    The present tense of the word "justified" implies that these Galatians were contemplating justification by the law. They were getting side tracked by legalistic teachers. "You who are trying to be justified by the law have fallen away from grace," but had they fully come to that place yet? Those...

    OSAS Question

    Nothing here about losing salvation either. Again the prize is not the gift of eternal life.

    OSAS Question

    In context, Paul compared preaching the gospel to others (His ministry) to a race. Here take a look. Verse 27 - No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. Just as we read in verse 18 - What then is...

    OSAS Question

    1 John 5:4 - For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Eternal IN-securists read Revelation 3:5 as if God’s pen is poised and He is ready to strike out the name of any Christian who does not overcome in life according to their...

    OSAS Question

    Can you show me the specific words, "lose salvation" in the Bible? The Israelites were in the olive tree to begin with because they were the "natural branches" and not because they were all saved. Because of their unbelief and hard hearts God removed His gracious hand from them as a people...

    OSAS Question

    Those who draw back to perdition do not believe to the saving of the soul and those who believe to the saving of the soul do not draw back to perdition.

    Good Works Vs Works Of The Law

    So you also teach salvation by works? Do you believe that "not saved by works/not by works of righteousness (literally, works done in righteousness) which we have done/not according to our works" (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) strictly applies to specific works of the law/eating...

    OSAS Question

    Hebrews 3:8-10 says, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My...

    Good Works Vs Works Of The Law

    The law of Moses was binding on the Israelites under the old covenant but not on Christians under the new covenant. The two greatest commandments sum up love (Matthew 22:37-40) and the life of discipleship flows out of the new command, to love one another as He loved us (John 13:34) and love...

    Good Works Vs Works Of The Law

    False. I suspected that you taught salvation by works, which explains a lot. In regards to James 2:14-26, see post #374 from the link below: Nothing here about salvation by works. Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord. In regards to Galatians 6:6-10, the one who is...

    Good Works Vs Works Of The Law

    When it comes to the moral aspect of the law, we cannot dissect good works from the law and teach that we are saved by "these" works (good works) but just not "those" works (works of the law). In James 2:15-16, the example of a "work" that James gives is: "If a brother or sister is naked and...

    Eternal Life is a Harvest Reaped by Doers of Good

    So it's not just me. ;) Eternal life is clearly a free gift (Romans 6:23) and not a reward that we work for and earn. In regards to Romans 2:6-10, (which often gets misinterpreted by works-salvationists to imply we are saved by works) if this passage of scripture gets interpreted in isolation...

    Will believers really be saved? (OSAS vs Loss of Salvation)

    As I already explained in post #63, those who draw back to perdition do not believe to the saving of the soul and those who believe to the saving of the soul do not draw back to perdition. Those who drew back to perdition and did not believe to the saving of the soul were not God's righteous...

    Will believers really be saved? (OSAS vs Loss of Salvation)

    You continue to prove my point that everything I explain to you continues to just go right over your head. In regards to the book of life: What is the Book of Life? | GotQuestions.org What is the Book of Life and the Book of the Living? | NeverThirsty Anyone? No. So far on this forum, just...

    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 angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My...
