The zeal for the Lord = emotion. Speaking truth. You accused amigo falsely. Truth. What me wonder, did you ever recover from your (as you mentioned so many times) 2.5 year living sinlessly ? Do you consider yourself saved or lost ? If the latter is true it would it would explain a lot.

Reading Acts and how the apostles preached the Gospel the keyword is : REPENT. If you have preached repentance in the thread of the atheist you have done well. There are other starting points as well talking to atheists, such as paving the way first and then tell the Gospel. A great example in...

And there you go again. Matt 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matt 7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Matt 7:17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit...

Just a hint, start to use Scripture.

In retrospect that was a bit premature, I am still wrestling with the 1 John KJV translation. I am using the ESV as my base translation since the old English KJV is a pain for my Dutch eyes. Nevertheless the like will stand tsml

But there are definitely things wrong.

You are not without points and there are issues to be desired.

I don't judge people professing Christ and if they are not, only God knows. When I do and I am wrong that will backfire on me on judgement day. It's about one my main criticism on him and he refuses to change. I can only warn him that all these condemnations, judgements, insults, accusing...

Sad.

It would change everything.

Actually I was replying to your question why I did not study Greek. And if my compliment offended you I apologize.

You know well I disagree with you, these are still your brothers and sisters, and 90% of the damage you do (and have done) to each other has to do with condemning and insulting each other. True for both camps. For both camps, make a clean new start. Matt 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for...

Reckless you.

Did the Lord reveal that to you ? What if you are wrong.

I expected a better answer from you, I gave a clear example of a Greek word that changed over time, what did Jesus mean when he used the word Kolasis ? But never mind, I take the ESV as the truth of the matter because it makes 1 John coherent. One way to read the KJV coherent is that the...

You are way, way out of control, he is still your brother and you need to love him. 1Joh 3:11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 1Joh 3:12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he...

Well, my path and experience are absolutely different, initial grace (conversion) -> Romans 7 -> Romans 8, still there. No way back to Romans 7, learned my lesson.

I am an illiterate Greek brute. But seriously what I found about the Greek is confusing, the meaning of words change overtime. I can give you several examples of my own native language. And there is this known English : going Dutch and in English it changed overtime in numerous various ways...

That would be nice, I don't see it.

This is one of the most hard verses to understand, checking the Greek as a layman the word "once" is not even used. It seems to me the KJV and the YLT have it right. 1Joh 3:9 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to...
