Yes it is. We certainly dont save ourselves. But we're supposed to confidently believe that Christ paid for our sins. That's what he wants us to do; come boldly to the throne of grace. To ask of Him whatever we wish. To have faith to move mountains. Jesus wants us to have great faith, like a...

I don't think getting so semantical helps anything. "Accept" can be used interchangeably with "believe" for example.

I think works are just an indication that someone has been justified though. The alternative is that our works could ever come close to the finished work of the cross, which devalues Christ's shed blood. We cannot hope to pay our ransom ourselves, hence the need of Christ in the first place. He...

...lol

I read the first page. I could probably argue about stuff but lately I just dont seem to have the energy anymore.

For the record, I do not ascribe to replacement theology and I do agree with your assessment of Rom 11

IF they repent of their unbelief.

I have on a few points of doctrine.

I'm aware of that mindset "God approves of and endorses everything I do and think" I used to be like that when I was younger.

Jesus said: Mark 2:17 Matthew 9:12 Luke 5:31 Thx

So now going to church is a bad thing? What? Look, just because you may happen to attend a poor church or a church you're overly critical of, doesn't mean there are no good churches out there with good pastors. Why do you think it's a good idea to drive people away from a designated house if...

The physician was Jesus...

It is not the healthy that need a physician, but the sick.

And now we're at the point where accusations are flying off the handle towards one another...

1 Timothy 3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. New or recent implies immaturity. Babes in Christ still on the milk of the word. Even a church goer from birth, someone in their 40s now, can be immature in the faith and be...

@Naomi25 Do you claim the 1000 year reign is currently happening at this moment then? Because we would disagree on that point

I see. I guess I never really connected these verses with being born again before, but I concede this makes sense. John 5:25 also says Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

Scripture says we will reign with Him for 1000 years, so when Christ returns it STARTS the 1000 year reign, not ends it. But we have not been changed in the "twinkling of the eye" Paul describes passing from this state into an entirely different one, so I dont think it's the same thing as...

Your position is interesting and I do respect it as I am not a hardliner. But remember it says "the dead in Christ" not "all the dead" If this were describing the time of the end of death itself, wouldn' that verse mention them as well? "Blessed are those who take part in the FIRST...

But i do believe some people are led to street peaching
