Jude 1:5-6 does not refer to "salvation" directly, but rather to specifically to "belief." Some apparently do not know the difference. Now "belief" has its promises from God, and yes, one must continue in belief to receive salvation. But indeed, they are not the same. One who merely "believes"...

This Jesus said before salvation had come--and therefore cannot be used to show a loss of salvation. But to clarify, He spoke rather of the events that would "shortly take place." He was preparing his disciples for that very near future time of when they would have to endure until His...

No, that is not what Paul set before them. But rather just as Moses set life and death before Israel and told them "therefore choose life", Paul also presented the Colossians with the "if you continue" option which they had yet to fully commit to, indicating that they had not yet received...

Context indeed! The context that Paul actually refers to in putting in the way that he did, is not regarding his salvation (or even that of the Corinthians), but rather the context of his mission and ministry. That according to his rationale, if he himself did not practice what he preached...

The key statement regarding Jesus' return, not believed or taught by most of Christendom, is this: "the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father" In other words, Jesus does not return in "glorified" flesh as many believe, but rather as "God is spirit", He returns in spirit.

No--I leave you to Satan.

Another slanderous lie (as if I at all varied the scripture--which I did not). You are not kidding anyone. You reveal your true self at every turn.

You give false witness. I didn't say that. That's just your take. The error is on you.

That's not at all how scripture works. "But..." 1 Corinthians 2:14 "...the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Bla bla bla. Your emotions have got the best of you. I quoted the scripture.

"Special revelation stuff?" How is it that you do not know that all revelations from God are special, most of which are first revealed to individuals...of His choosing? You call the kettle black. As for Jesus, what you say above is to deny that He ever bore our shame. If your heart is to defend...

On the contrary, what is real is not of this world, but was before the foundation of the world. And no, His wounds do not remain forever, but according to the promise, are healed, for we are His body.

You are sighting a false technicality, while you have missed the elephant in the room: Which is that all the elements of this creation are destroyed with fervent heat and with fire. All that remains is that which is spirit, born of God--no natural elements. That blows your whole...

That's just another government welfare program. It doesn't work. It ends in a homeless class to plague the rest of society, who would rather be homeless than receive the freebees with strings attached. That is the problem--there would be strings attached and that would and has been the failure...

After declaring that one must be born again of the spirit of God, Jesus summarizes, saying: John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” In other words, "God breathed"...

Do we even now need an interpreter? Is it not clear in 1 Corinthians 11 that Paul wrote first by example and then plainly said that any such practice or tradition was according to the "image" of man (meaning men and woman) and bears the image of God, plainly adding that a woman's hair was that...

The flaw in such a scheme, is nothing that cost money, time, or labor, is free. In other words, what you have described is government sponsored and enforced robbery from those who work, in order to pay those who don't work. Not a good plan.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Perhaps you meant Romans 4? Either way, are you saying you know the hearts of everyone who ever has and ever...

Luke wrote of Paul in Acts 19. Indeed, those were times on the cusp of newfound salvation in Christ Jesus, as I said. The point is not whether or not Paul only wrote to believers. But rather that what he taught and wrote--just as is true of most of the gospel, referred to both the saved and the...

When reading Paul's writings, it should be clear that he walked and taught on the cusp of salvation principles and truth. This is why he even came to say that the word of truth must be "rightly divided." So, yes, Paul often spoke as one not knowing in full, seeing only dimly and in weakness; and...
