Absolutely. God cut-off the entire nation of Jews, every single, individual one. Paul earlier explained who the true Jew is now Rom 2:28,29 Now under Christ's NT, the true Jew is NOT one outwardly, circumcised of the flesh but the true Jew is one inwardly, circumcision of the heart, see Col...

Lk 13:3,5 God does not forgive sins that go unrepented. Eph 5:26 is speaking of the Ephesians being born again as 1 Cor 12:13 speaks of the Corinthians being born again: Jn 3:5-------------spirit+++++++++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom...

Under the OT before Christ came and instituted His NT all Jews were of the elect, they were born into that election. And ALL the Gentile nations were not of the elect. Paul is talking about Jews and Gentiles as nations, not certain individual Jews or Gentiles. So when God cut-off Israel as a...

1 Jn 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." Can a Christian walk in the light and NOT have fellowship one with another? No. I do not see anyway possible how one can be a...

Matt 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

In Romans 9, Paul knows that God has cut-off His elect Jews and grafted in the once non-elect Gentiles (Rom 11:11-22) and in Romans 9 Paul refutes any argument the Jews would have against God doing this. How does this casting off of elect and grafting in those once non-elect jibe with the idea...

Christians do sin, they may not steal horses, but they do commit various sins and the issue is can they remain impenitent of sins they commit and still be saved. If a Christian did steal a horse, repentance would require he give the horse back or make some kind of resitution. So could a...

Baptizo means to immerse, to submerge. Acts 8:38 "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." baptize is associated with water, a literal immersion in water. Acts 10:47 "Can any man forbid water, that...

Repentance does mean for one to put an end to sin. If I were a horse thief and I repented of that sin, repentance in no way means I can continue in that sin of stealing horses. If I "repented" but continued the sin of stealing horses then I never repented. Thayer defined repentance as: --To...

Proper exegesis is a word is taken literally unless the context shows it is being used figuratively. In Eph 4:5 baptism" must be understood literally for nothing in the context shows it is being used figuratively: F.F. Bruce on Eph 4:5: “baptism in the New Testament is always baptism in water...

One does not repent becasue he is already saved he repents in order to be saved. In tha Acts 2 context, in verse 38 the order of the verse puts repentance BEFORE remission of sins/salvation not after. In Lk 13:3,5 Jesus said except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish, So Jesus put...

Hi, John said Christ "washed us from our sins in his own blood" Rev 1:5 Christ's blood that washes away sins was shed in His death, Jn 19:34 So a man must have access into the death of Christ where that shed blood is so it can wash away sins By no coincidence it is water baptism that puts a...

Thievery and being impenitent are matters of salvation, 1 Cor 6:9,10 Rom 2:5 no exceptions God does not pardon the sins of the impenitent and no unpardon sin enters heaven. A Christian can commit any sin willfully or unknowingly, the issue is will he repent of that sin or continue in that...

In 1 Jn 1:7 John made the salvation of those Christians to whom he was writing CONDITIONAL upon their choosing to continue to walk in the light or not. John used the word IF - a word of condition. "IF" the Christian quits walking in the light, his sins are no longer cleasned and he has spot and...

Let me first say I am not Arminian. Salvation can be gained, lost, regained and even lost again. The prodigal son demonstrates one who was alive (spiritually) left his father and became dead (spiritually) but 'came to himself" and returned to his father was was "alive again" Having said...

Repentance is totally dependent upon your effort. If it were you that stole the horse, it is completely dependant upon your effort to repent and make resititution. If you do not take the initiative and effort to repent, then no repentance or restitution will ever take place. No one including...

So repentance for the Christian is necessary when he sins to obtain God's forgiveness, God's pardon. Therefore the biblcal necessity of repentance, (conditional salvation) is mutually exclusive to the man-made teaching of eternal security (unconditional salvation) A Christian's sin would have...

Repent metanoeō : Thayer's Lexicon: --To change one's mind, --Used esp. of those who, conscious of their sins and with manifest tokens of sorrow, are intent on obtaining God's pardon --To change one's mind for the better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins --Conduct...

1 Jn 1:7 the purpose of the continued walking is to have a continued cleansing of all sin. Cleansing away of all sins has everything to do with being a Christian and saved. No uncleansed sins will enter heaven. Eph 1:4; 2 Pet 3:4 a Christian is holy, without spot, without blame. How can a...

Hi, Mk 16:16 Jesus made baptism as essential and important to salvation as belief. This verse is simple and straight forward, but many try and reverse the order putting salvation before baptism. Changing and rearranging verses have nothing to do with interpretation. In Mt 28, the great...
