I've never read that rule.

You're free to rationalize your views any way you like.

The story is told that Charles Spurgeon once gave a sermon entitled "Repentance" by walking out around the pulpit, down the center aisle of the church about halfway, turned completely around, and walked back to the rostrum and sat down. End of sermon. :)

Andy and I are inseparable. Your contrived Systematic Theology is flawed.

How could you possibly know such a thing? O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! (Deuteronomy 5:29) Is God Just a dreamer? Hellenism?

Not according to the Bible.

Why should our accountability be any different after conversion than before? When you were converted did you confess every single sin you'd ever committed in your life up to that point? If not, how can you be sure your salvation is intact? It's a nice effort of rationalization, but the more we...

Sorry. Although it is still my favorite, I graduated from the KJV-only-ism school of ignorance many, many years ago (I've read all the books). I suppose you reckon The King James magically got it right. Funny you didn't acknowledge that Young's Literal (1862), also translated from Textus...

I think it means what the Bible says it means.

Yes or no won't do and you know it. Stop baiting me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalms 51:10) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5) Even unconverted people cannot overcome sin without...

Where in the story is it called legalism? Self-righteousness and condescension are attitudes. Legalism is described by Paul in Galations as believing or living like one can earn the favor or justification of men or God by performing the works of the law. It is a belief system, thus, the -ism...

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SINLESS PERFECTION??!!!

AMEN, Brother!!!

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10) Practically every English translation of Romans 5:11 renders the last word "reconciliation"--not "atonement." Even Young's Literal.

"By their actions is a pretty broad term. It certainly doesn't prove your case. Words are important. License may constitute denial, but it does not define it. Not simple semantics. Let's move on.

Absolute straw man. "Taking the stance," no less. Give me a break. Why do we all love so much to level charges of heresy at each other? I don't do that. And I don't understand the urge to. I pose questions and people ascribe motive and judge me. And I'm not the only one. Why would I want to...

Sorry. Disagree. So does the Bible. :)

But, Dear Lady, parallelism is a style, not code for synonymity. Am I right? Surely, not all words used to describe God have the same meaning (e.g. graceful; powerful).

It's a biblical term found in Romans 3:31. Read the context. However erroneous @Michiah-Imla's interpretation of Scripture may be, he knows it nonetheless.
