Jesus died for the sins of the whole world...not just believers. So then no one goes to hell... actually the lake of fire? But you are deciding that death is for others (unless you are a universalist) and life is for you. How do you come up with that? If you received the gift of life...is...

Your bible says "practice" sin? That word is added in. There is no "practice" sin. That is religious mumbo-jumbo. And besides even the worst translations say.... "does NOT sin". Read that passage more carefully. Jesus says...whoever sins is a slave of sin. Do you believe that? Is that in your...

If Jesus died for the penalty of our sins...how does He hold us responsible for our sins? Should we even TRY to not sin. Or does sin not matter anymore? Which is it? How are we to stop sinning? Is there a power (grace) that causes us to not sin...that gives us the power over sin?

I see it as a smug religious self-assurance...based on years of dishonesty concerning the bible. AND that is re-enforced by a lot of bad teaching, propaganda and indoctrination by religious hucksters seeking to build up their franchises...to the point where no amount of proof...biblical proof...

The modern scheme of ignoring God's laws in a bid for self-justification based on religious beliefs comes with a warning from Jesus. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ The grace of God is given to us to fulfill the law not ignore...

That's exactly what I quoted you as saying...that you are saved from the penalty of sin. (This is laughable. :oops: ) Isn't that exactly what you said is wrong? Saved by YOUR efforts at doing better? Growing us? Into holiness? Maybe you do have a different bible. What does it say on the cover...

A Babylon scheme perhaps? :rolleyes:

Hey @marks ...in all honesty, do you agree with @Eternally Grateful on her idea that we are saved only from the Penalty of sin? And even to consider any sort of victory over sin...even by the Spirit...is just a gospel of works and self-righteousness? Is that why there is so much silence...

40 years is a long time to be in error concerning the gospel...and be that MUCH in error. At one point there is a hanging onto the error since the realization of that immensity of the error becomes more and more difficult to take in. It's not to late to repent as long as we are still alive and...

Grace is the power of God given to us so that we can overcome sin, the devil and the world. Please stop with the false representation of myself AND the gospel. Grace is the power to OVERCOME sin as Jesus also overcame. Please read the Bible and stop your twisting the words of the bible...

The penalty removed??? No overcoming grace? No power over sin? The wages of sin is now life???? Plainly ridiculous and unbiblical. The wages of sin is still death. Grace overcomes sin...so the truth is upheld instead of twisted into a pretzel. All this pretend righteousness to justify the...

Sure. But you do realize I teach the ways of God...plural. Basically, my critics only see in one dimension. So every time I speak of one...the other is forgotten. It's like a balance scale. Some will say I only preach on one side. And some will say I only preach on the other. Very few will see...

This sounds more like a confession than an accusation. You are the one that wants so badly to be saved. You' go to any lengths...to avoid the scriptures that get in your way. But you need the whole counsel of God...and also to learn righteousness that can help you become wise unto salvation...

Actually we are to begin in the Spirit and then go to God...to His throne...to get the FULL MEASURE of grace so that our salvation is complete. This idea of salvation by works...you don't understand. Paul was defending Gentile believers against the Jews who wanted them to become Jews and follow...

I only say this in every second post I do. I think you aren't understanding God's ways. It's funny you use the word "honest" here. My teaching is very very consistent. Go back as many years and read my posts. I say the same things over and over again. No...I never said that. It's about faith/...

In your scheme good works are impossible because only God is righteous. And comparitively, this is so. But God imputes righteousness on the righteous. The righteous do good works. And one of the works of righteousness is repentance. If there was no possibility of righteousness for men, then...

Saved is not always what you think. In a great house there are both vessels of honour (a good thing) and vessels of dishonour (not a good thing) Both of these vessels are saved. And these are from the same lump...the same people...saved people. A person who does carnal works that are burned up...

You are presently saved when YOU join Jesus on the cross in order to walk in HIS life...NOW. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world..and demons also believe that. There is no reward for claiming Jesus' sacrifice for oneself. Jesus is the Lamb of GOD...not OUR Lamb. But you can't name and...

Why are you trying to get in through the back door of religious beliefs? Going through the front door through Christ is through the cross....an encounter with the living God...by the power of the cross...and translation INTO Christ. Jesus said how difficult it was... And rich people (almost...
