We don't agree on everything, but I'm not "spinning" and I believe you are also sincere. Yours is based on justifying OSAS, which is a form of "spinning." So judge not! I just go with context. This is a case of one of us is right and one of us is wrong. Thus: "15 If anyone’s work is burned, he...

I believe you must look at the context, and in the case of 1 Corinthians 3 passage, that has to do with teachings and doctrines, such as of Peter, Apollos and Paul, and whoever else was teaching in the Church. Some doctrines will be burned up and not last, but the teacher will be saved. Paul's...

It is easy for me because I don't just write on two forum sites, but I write books too, and God is always giving me fresh insight to things, so, yeah, that's where my mind is too.

We are given power to resist the devil, so if we come across a temptation, it is the dwelling on it that leads to sin when you act on it. I was in an abusive marriage and wasn't loved for most of it. But if I came across a good looking man that was kind, I shook my head fiercely back and forth...

So you believe a Christian committing a sin unto death, God lets their body die, and saves their soul? BTW, that is not what these verses mean if you are counting on them: 1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through...

Free will to go against our new nature and grieve or quench the Spirit. Peer pressure. Don't be unequally yoked with the friends you pick too.

I think we've discussed this, but maybe not. There are two types of sin. 1. Willful sins of lawlessness (against God's written laws), and they are sins unto death (repentance is required if God allows it after sanctification). Hebrews 10:26-31 These are the type of sin specified in 1 John 3:4...

So if it isn't a license to sin, then what do you believe happens to a person if they willfully sin and never repents? Are they still saved?

Have you not heard that the Trinity is One? Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

Romans 7:9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Wow, Paul is claiming to be over 1300 years old!!!! Another victim of fables. 2 Timothy 4: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all...

If you are not a Calvinist, as I totally thought you were (sorry), what are you - Lutheran? I'm not totally up on all the OSAS denominations.

If you don't read this, maybe it will help someone else that is more hungry and thirsty for righteousness. Brother, Jesus did not come to teach the Old Covenant, that can't even be kept because of our carnal nature. Why teach an ever harder law that would be even more impossible to keep? He...

Good night.

If your flesh still does, so do you. What you are doing to the grace of God, is turning it into licentiousness. Jude 1:4. A doctrine of demons. Your flesh is your nature, and if you are not born again, you will come up with all sorts of falsehoods, because the truth is foolishness to the carnal...

Go back and read it again. He quotes the Old LAW when He says, "you have heard it said..." and then says, "But I say..." What he says then are the New Covenant laws of Jesus. That depends on if you have been filled with the Holy Spirit or not. It is very hard for those who haven't been. But is...

Yes, we are not under the law of Moses, or the Old Covenant, The Ten Commandments. But we are under the commandments of Jesus He preached in the Sermon on the Mount, which are deeper than the surface commandments of the Old Covenant. They are much harder, but easier to keep because of the...

I like to see how the Living Bible words difficult texts. 51 As the time drew near for his return to heaven, he moved steadily onward toward Jerusalem with an iron will. 52 One day he sent messengers ahead to reserve rooms for them in a Samaritan village. 53 But they were turned away! The...

Yes, I believe that too, but of course you believe Jesus did more than that for us, don't you? How does that affect us today. I'll wait for your answer. Have fun!

Hi Steve, This "Doctrine of Penal Substitution" sounds denominational. I don't recognize the title, but do recognize that Jesus died to take away the sins of the world. Can you explain what that title means, and what your denomination is?

Yes, or no will not suffice. So, not quite. Neither of us will commit wicked sins of lawlessness, and though God can't commit sins not unto death either such as trespasses, we still do, but can grow out of them with the maturity of love. Fruit grows. And Jesus prunes them to bear more fruit. My...
