No boasting at all. I guess this means it ‘strongly indicates’ OSAS is ridiculous.

Apologists be like ... Yabut murdering ones enemies is not a TEACHING of the RCC.

They will invent ways to do evil.

You are ridiculous.

Discernment. Paul was talking about external works, like build a monument or pay your way to heaven, which I totally agree. If you look at my thread Evidence to Be Seen, you'll realize I am strongly opposed to Christians holding onto contradictions. One of the biggest contradictions is that...

What makes you think the Apostles, some who followed John The Baptist, not baptized?

Yes, it is true and more! God is the cause of evil - not merely allows it. You cannot be the First Cause and not cause ALL that follows. Isaiah 45:7 explicitly says 'I create woe.' It does not say he feebly allows this to happen. In reading the Old Testament, God is portrayed as a warrior. Not...

A distinction without a difference. Everything Jesus did was an example. What he did and what he had done to him is our model to follow.

This is patently untrue. Jesus himself talks about an unforgivable sin.

Except the opponents do not accept this categorization. Those in the NOSAS have never said anything like this. We are saved by faith in the grace of Jesus and have a burden to keep it that way by actually doing the will of God, the Father in Heaven. This is the meaning of Matthew 7:21. The...

His declaration that got him crucified was to be the Messiah. See Mark 14:61-62. Jesus is the Messiah, which means anointed by God. Anyone with any grasp of language usage knows this means he is not God. Dinner made by Mom is not Mom.

It's so funny when trinitarians cite Jews as an authority to be correct when rejecting the man-is-God thesis. It leaves 2 options: The Jews are correct in rejecting Jesus is God incarnate. You are wrong in referencing them as it undermines your position and strengthens the Jesus is NOT God side.

Not able to grasp the meaning of singular pronouns, huh?

Nonsense. I am a Christ follower, just not an isolator, not a 4th century man made construct violating the 1C and 2C in trinitarianism.

I am is a common expression used even today and has never been a claim of divinity.

It is EXACTLY what Scripture says. ‘Work’ in the culture of the Apostles is not how it is taken in today’s culture. To clarify, is why I differentiate between external and internal. Right. This faith is precisely an example of the kind of internal work that is necessary. A pre-requisite to...

Not at all. I just accept the entire Bible was written by monotheist Jews who reject the trinity to this day.

Well, the OSAS crowd invoked this odd ex-post facto fallacy that if someone saved later sins/turns from Christ, they were not ‘really’ saved to begin with.

Agreed. I believe they aspire for loving others to replace all the do’s and dont’s so ACTION can be replaced by EMOTION. As if saying how you feel replaces the more burdensome right ACTION. OSAS = License to Sin.

External works, yes. Internal works are a pre-requisite. Many verses have already been provided. If this were not true, universalism would be proper doctrine.
