Not sure how I responded here to my post.

As more and more revelation was being passed down, more and more doctrines were better understood. This is known as progressive revelation, which simply means Gen 1.1 was a start but not complete. I believe in one Godhead, not 1 person/being. Yes, we worship the God of Israel, but now, we...

A few years after Ignatius, Polycarp the bishop of Smyrna also demonstrated his Trinitarian consciousness before his martyrdom: “I glorify you, through the eternal and heavenly High Priest, Jesus Christ, your (the Father) beloved Son, through whom to you, with him and the Holy Spirit, be glory...

Note that Polycarp saw both the Father and Son/high priest as "eternal." Polycarp was correct in saying that there is a difference between the Father and Jesus, there are 3 Members of the Trinity, each One co-equal in every way possible. Every one who has an eternal nature is appropriately given...

You should have quoted a passage dealing with salvation, not sanctification.

Just to let you know. You have added something to the Gospel. This is called works salvation. Any behavior that is required for salvation is a false Gospel.

2 Pt 2.1

Yes, we are very close.

That is no doubt true, but I don't see what that has to do with my comment.

In the BEMA, where Christians are given rewards in the Rewards Ceremony (falsely called the Judgment Seat of Chris), no believer will be evaluated for his sins. I like to mention that to unbelievers that I witness to. I let them know the penalty of sin was paid for by Christ (2 Pt 2.1 and 1...

I will let you off this time, but not again. Read 2 Pt 2:1 and ask yourself who are the redeemed in this verse. Other verses also support this doctrine of Redeemed. If you were a serious Bible student you would have known this. In other words, you need to be reading Systematic Theology books and...

I have come across several places where "many" means "all" (see Rm 5.15) Based on your answers (rather, questions), and lack of years of Theological training, you are not the type of believer I desire to interact with. Rather than being skeptical about, you know need go be intimidated by them...

Perhaps you could enlighten us as to how many commands are and a couple of examples. Did you know that there were no eternal consequences to Adam and Eve's sin? Aunty Jane, you were all over the place when you replied to this post. I guarantee you that you didn't know that all unbelievers have...

Can you give me the verse for this?

I really don't see that your argument is theologically sound or interesting. Your support that you give is that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. It was not changed for the Church, since it was never Saturday to begin with. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or...

The consequences for Adam's sin, if you look in Gen., are related to this life. The consequences of Eve's was also related to this life, nothing eternal. Showing mercy need not have anything to do with Salvation. God is a merciful God by nature. When all those people are case into the Lake of...

What about this condemnation. we were condemned so that God could have mercy on us. see Rm 11.32

Jay, I have several posts out here where I explain why sin is not an issue at the Rewards Ceremony, or at the GWT judgment. I will give you a few verses to look at. 2 Peter 2:1, 2 Cor 5:19, and 1 John 2:2. In case you overlook it, the unbelievers have been redeemed. See 2 Peter 2:1 for that one...

"We support the biblical teaching that all people are born with inherited sin and are lost eternally." I can not find one passage that states inherited sin makes someone destined to Hell. I have argued out here before that sins have nothing to due with getting saved or being eternally...

It looks like you have read Tertullian. Tertullian started off pretty good with his theology, but later was a wacho. He turned away from a lot of his beliefs but He believed that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each God, and that they are three in degree, not in being. Here is how I...
