We were talking about the old laws. They were our schoolmaster and the point was how does God view sin. When you see the severity, you can appreciate what Christ did in taking away the desire to break even those old laws.

Grace is the divine power of God. He gives us His power to not sin. Seeing as we will sin because of the sin nature we were born with, we cannot be good enough on our own to be holy, and without holiness, no man shall see God. So God does it for us for those who acknowledge this weakness to sin...

If God sovereignly writes only those being chosen in the Book of Life, then why would He change His mind? So much for OSAS. Rev. 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and...

When my mother used to call me when she was alive, I always recognized her voice. She didn't have to tell me who she was. I knew her voice from years of hearing it.

I'm talking about purity. I'm not sure what work you mean. Ministry?

A man and a woman who commit adultery together were also put to death. I praise God that I'm straight. But I do know gays, both men and women who are Christians who abstain and are just as pure as you are. And who knows, maybe even purer in character. You are sounding like the parable of the...

yes, and you can also seem to brag about a sin that you are confessing to, with no remorse. My ex seemed to want me to feel sorry for HIM when he confessed to having raped one of the members of his home church who was a virgin that he pastored. There are some sick in the head fake Christians out...

Yes, works is trying to keep God's laws with only our own willpower, instead of the divine power of God. That is what was being portrayed in Romans 7:14-23 - knowing the law, but keeping them in your own weakness. The Spirit not only frees us from the sin nature that caused us to sin, but the...

I wasn't saved for the first 30 years of going to church. All I'm saying is that being heterosexual as you seemed to brag about doesn't prevent us from sinning our heads off. LOL I was no better in the eyes of God than a homosexual, except that my desires were normal, but still very carnal, and...

Thanks, Tong. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Going to bed now.

It is favor. It is only unmerited favor when Jesus died for us while we were YET sinners. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" How did we get in Christ? Through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And how did we...

I certainly don't have a problem with that, brother!

Give me the specific scriptures you want clarified if you didn't like mine.

Not everyone had the Spirit. Paul even says I wish you all spoke in tongues. Mark 16:16-18 says that those who believe and are baptized these signs will follow them. And in the first century before all this Cessationist unbelief came into the Church, all who had the Spirit were gifted in all the...

Sorry, but from what you just said you believe, "we as human beings in this Earth will always have humanly desires," goes along with one of the doctrines of demons commonly taught. A doctrine of demons teaches you the opposite of what Christ taught. John 8:32-36; 1 John 3:4-9; 1 John 5:18. Jesus...

Once saved, always saved. But it can be turned into a doctrine of demons for those who believe God chooses people and it doesn't matter how much they sin, they will always be saved. Assurance can be had by those who consistently walk in the Spirit who leads you down the straight and narrow...

Yes, however, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD. You must hear of God to have faith in Him.

Great answer marks

Good grief, what do you want from me? Chapter 4 is in the middle of an eight chapter teaching and is one of the chapters that only sets up for the conclusion, and not to be plucked out and made out of it a doctrine of demons like so many twisted souls do on these forums. Chapter 8 is no longer...

LOL I hate the modern day definition and liberal lifestyle of some of those who believe in OSAS. I don't believe in that doctrine at all. BUT, I do believe in ASSURANCE where the Bible puts the responsibility on me. 2 Peter 1:5-11; 1 John 3:21-24. So Davy, don't worry about me; I haven't lost my...
