    Once Saved Always Saved

    I agree. justbyfaith is an enthusiast but is unbelievably theologically lost. I will pray for him.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Those who embrace OSAS don't define it. I was using the illogical ex post facto terminology of those I doctrinally differ. I don't know what your testimony is but I think there is a difference between accepting Jesus as your Savior and the ongoing need to repent, ask for strength, pray, etc...

    Three Days?

    Ad Homenim. Words have meaning, objective meaning. One does not have to have some kind of malady to know that. The double standard is to suppose if the sentence does not contain 'full' it is not a full day but although the sentence does not contain the word 'partial' we ought to take it as...

    Why Do You Add Unto the Word of God?

    I explained it this way to a Pastor. It is hard to claim the devil is lying when telling the literal truth but God is figuratively telling the truth while literally lying. He didn't deny it. If you think lying is wrong consider the law of love (John 13:34-35) as it pertains to lying to the...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Seems easier enough to reconcile. Naturally, it is God that saves. He throws us the life preserver. It is up to us to take it.

    Wow! Shocking lack of humility.

    Three Days?

    Searching the New Testament for three partial days and three partial nights is akin to a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there ... I have 4 pets. None of them are partial. It seems to me that there is a default meaning of words, that if you want to deviate from that...

    Why Do You Add Unto the Word of God?

    Just like how long Jesus was in the ground, there are multiple meanings for day: Day light Calendar Day 24 hour period of time. In our world today, this is confusing when travel itineraries are put together. Often, there is one more day than night in the itinerary, e.g., 7 day, 6 night...

    Did you admit the original language lacks grammar? The original language is not spoken here. It makes no sense for you to keep harping on it. In my forced Spanish class, I learned they put the adjective after the noun. House big whereas we say big house. What you call errors and inconsistencies...

    Three Days?

    These are horrible translations, not even proper English. You say ‘during’ but the verses don’t even have that.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Great point! And again, I go back to English translators. One pastor put it this way. It is one thing to know OF a world famous person. It is another thing to have a deep, personal relationship with that person. Intellectual v experiential knowledge. That that hard to grasp. Our God is not...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Is that a yes, the Good News message was meant for the common man and not scholars, etc? I think you are confusing the 'common man' with 'the ignorant and unstable.' Love God. Love others. Not too hard to grasp even for intellectuals who, like Pharisee's, sift their mustard seed but miss the...

    Didn’t Jesus thank God that his message was meant for the common man and not the scholars, etc?

    For free will believers out there

    No. The trinity is not in the Bible. You are projecting your doctrine onto unitarian text. I already showed you the relevant verses about how God selected and sent Jesus but you do not have ears to hear.

    For free will believers out there

    Wrong! The verses cited stated God (in his unitarian nature) selected and sent Jesus. It has nothing to do with your Appeal to Strawman, only addressing the humanity of Jesus. God (in his unitarian nature) selected and sent Jesus. (In Acts 17:31 & John 8:41-42). This is no kind of equality...

    Three Days?

    Day One is not the way to count. Wednesday = t = 0 (the day the Lord died) Thursday = t = 1 (Day One in the ground)

    Three Days?

    The word is not there but is implied in the context - by understanding the Jonah reference. Where is the word 'partial?' Just as Jonah was in the whale’s belly for three days and three nights,[a] so the Human One will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Matthew 12:40 (CEB)

    I am shocked at some of the doctrinal things I read on this forum.

    Gossip

    Or revealing their character. Gossip may be just revealing things the object of gossip would not necessarily want revealed. In that respect, my own mother gossiped about me. (She was proud of her son) Slander is only things are are untrue said in public. Usually, gossip is associated with not...

    Three Days?

    This goes against Scripture. 3 FULL days and 3 full nights as Jonah. Not partial days.
