I have asked many times, to no avail, for you to show an example of God commanded some thing of man in order to receive God's free gift and that man's obedience to God's command is called a work of merit. God commanded of Noah to build an ark to receive God's free gift of salvation from the...

Faith comes by hearing the word of God, Rom 10:17, faith is not something God randomly gives to one person over another person unconditionally apart from the word of God thereby making God a respecter or persons as to whom He gives faith to and withholds faith from. Men were commanded to...

Athiests are able to do good works. Cornelius was lost, did not believe in Christ but was able to do good works and was willing and able to hear Peter's sermon. The Jews in Acts 2 were lost, did not believe in Christ but able and willing to hear the gospel message as preached to them by Peter...

I see that Paul in latter part of Romans 7 is using himself as a Jew who lived under the OT as an example of how hard that law was to live under. To be justified by that OT law, it required the Jew to do the wotk in keeping all of it flawlessly perfect....the Jew had to continue in all things...

Acts 2:38 Peter was preaching to Jews, the gospel was to first go to the Jew then to the Gentile. And in Acts 10 Peter took the same exact gospel message to the Gentiles as he did to the Jews and that gospel message include the command to be water baptized in the name of the Lord for remission...

Salvation is conditional upon continual obedience to God as present tense verbs show. And obedience is not a work of merit. To say otherwise is total rejection of the Bible truths.

There's an obvious problem between 1 Cor 6:9:10 and OSAS. Wonder how that problem will get solved? I have seen some OSASers use 1 Cor 3:15 and try and use the text to prove the Christian who fornicates, his sinful work will be burned but he himself will be saved anyway in his sin of...

I'm not sure what you mean here. If no church organization is mentioned at all in the NT, does that mean no church at all exists? But how can that be when the NT clearly speaks of a singular church, "one body" (Eph 4:4-5) of Christ, His kingdom that was existing and people were part of that...

The issue I would like to raise is what exactly does the word "accept" mean according to the Bible since men have different ideas of what it means to "accept" Christ. Is it possible to "accept" Christ apart from His message? It is possible to "accept" Christ apart from not doing what His...

Again, the reason the BIBLE gives as to WHY Paul baptized just a few IN CORINTH was because of the division at the congregation IN CORINTH, he clearly says the reason why he baptized none of you was "lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name". AGAIN, the REASON he said he...

==It would not make sense that Paul DID baptize (1 Cor 1:14,16) if he was sent NOT to baptize? Nor it is said he sinned by disobeying a command to not baptize. There is no NT command to NOT baptize but gives commands to baptize (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47-48). The Bible does not contradict itself...

20) Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the...

I see that the "baptisms" (washings) of Heb 6:2 of the OT were used as a "figure" or foreshadow of things to come in the NT, that is, those Hebrews were taught about the ONE saving water baptism of the great commission from those OT washings. Beginning with the one baptism of Eph 4:5: The NT...

I've heard people use the phrases "accept Jesus into your heart" or "accept Jesus into your life" with the word "ACCEPT" being the key word in that phrase and what exactly does that word "accept" mean. From looking at all the arguments and debates on various Bible forums, it's obvious that...

Romans 9 has nothing to do with how men are saved or lost per Calvinism's wrong ideas of election. In Romans 9 Paul is dealing with the Jews. In Romans 9, Paul already knows God has cast the Jews off (Rom 11) and they were cast off for unbelief and in Romans 9 Paul is refuting any argument...

Salvation is impossible apart from belief, Christ requires men to believe, therefore according to your thinking salvation is not a free gift but something Christ wants to be earned/merited. Free gifts, as salvation, can and often times do come with conditions and meeting the condition upon a...

Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two different kinds of sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.

The Bible does not contradict itself, so how does one rectify the plural baptisms of Heb 6:2 to Paul saying there is ONE singular baptism in Eph 4:5?

In post 28 you posted: "God authors Jonah's decision to disobey his command. Jonah is not self-existing; he has no freedom to act contrary to God's "pen." God determines Jonah's free will choices. God decides what course Johan will follow as is necessary to tell the story he wants to tell." As...

if believing is a meritorious work, then; Rom 10:10 believeth unto righteousness must mean righteousness is earned/merited John 3:16 whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life must mean eternal life is earned/merited mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized...
