I already covered Romans 8 in post #400. Now in regard to Galatians 5:4, the present tense of the word "justified" in Galatians 5:4 implies that these Galatians were contemplating justification by the law. But had they fully come to that place yet? They were obviously getting sidetracked by...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I don't cherry pick. I read scripture in context and properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine.

Notice that - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) is in contrast to - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8) and - If we say...

Walking according to the flesh is 'descriptive' of non-Christians and walking according to the Spirit is 'descriptive' of children of God. Only genuine believers sow to the Spirit and from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Romans 8:8 - So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9...

Is that true? o_O

John is not promoting a false religion, but you are. Again, 1 John 2:4 is 'descriptive' of pseudo-Christians/make believers and NOT genuine believers. 2 John 1:9 - Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (descriptive of pseudo-Christians/make believers) does not have...

I believe John. I just don't believe your eisegesis. 1 John 2:4 is 'descriptive' of pseudo-Christians/make believers.

I have already covered John 15 in posts #297, #300 and also along with John 8 in post #374. The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the...

Such folks are all about SELF. 1. SELF promotion. 2. SELF preservation. 3. SELF righteousness.

Yet ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS. Hmm.. 1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their...

I have only refuted your eisegesis and I have not denied the truth. Since you teach salvation by works, I don't expect you to know the difference. Out of the 12 disciples, who failed to abide in Jesus? Only Judas Iscariot, who was not a genuine believer, but was an unbelieving, unclean devil who...

You are beginning to sound like a disgruntled troll. All you have left is biased opinions and childish insults. I'm not surprised you left the rest of my post to fade away never to be read or reposted again. Your beliefs are fixed, and you obviously don't want to be confused with the facts...

I'm really not interested in your biased opinions, or judgment calls and this is no laughing matter. Over the years on various Christian forum sites, I've had multiple conversations with numerous folks like yourself who suffer from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome, and it never...

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. - DESCRIPTIVE of unbelievers. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. - DESCRIPTIVE of believers.

I already thoroughly refuted your eisegesis in post #297 and #300. You have no rebuttal. Just your repeated eisegesis.

How was Abraham justified (accounted as righteous)? By faith or by works? (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:2-3) Once again, by cultivating the virtues listed in 2 Peter 1:5-7, believers can be sure that God has called them and elected them. These fruits will confirm it. Make sure you have been called...

Past tense with ongoing present results. God does not do the works for us but God does work in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13) We are saved for good works and not by good works. (Ephesians 2:8-10) Notice WILL bring it to completion at the day of Jesus...

Your eisegesis culminates in "type 2 works salvation" or salvation by works at the back door. Believers "keep" (Greek word "tereo" - guard, observe, watch over) His commandments BECAUSE we abide in Him and not in order to abide in Him. John draws a contrast between believers who know that they...

That judgment call is well above your pay grade. Your true colors are showing.
