No...but rather, what you are doing is trying to change the past and present tense of Paul's words to make it say what YOU want it to say. But, I have corrected you, pointing out the proper [present tense] of Paul saying, "thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ"...not...

We are in agreement.

That passage from Peter was to Israel, whom by the same Christ, are saved...but in two different "folds", differently. That word is not for the "other fold." The house of Israel was saved in death, of whom Christ was "the Last." The "other fold which Christ must also bring", are not saved in...

The gender issue keeps popping up.. And those even with the best of intensions of being true and faithful to the word of God, still refer to Paul's commandment for women to be "silent in church" as if that smaller purpose of which Paul spoke was also the greater purpose of God in His word to...

Yes, thanks, as I said further down:

Faith is the God given ability to believe in the existence and promises of an unseen God, to know Him and to hear Him without sight. PS, Owed to Paul: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

Yes, sovereign. Jesus, like us, was created in God's image to do the will of the Father, as an extension of Himself (of the Father). He was obedient to that, just as we would hope that our own sons would do what we send them out to do. But there is something to understand about sons and...

This is like examining the steps of heart surgery. Painful. I prefer: Born in the flesh Drawn by God / Seeking Convicted (rather than convinced) Repentance (which is a choice to change, of choosing life rather than death, and a form of crying out to God for salvation, surrender). God answers...

That much is true. What/where do you see the "start" being on this "journey?"

Sorry, I have not kept up with all the posts and comments here... But are you saying that you do not believe that the blood of Jesus covers all sin (except against the Holy Spirit)? Or that He did not enter the depths of the earth before leading captivity captive unto perfection the third day...

"Christ" is not, but is the Son that is eternal. It was the Christ who died, but the Son who is alive.

Not sure why you are taking this side trip, but the time components of such beliefs are the teachings of men, and of the world. Nonetheless, in the world we have tribulation, even Great Tribulation. But none so great as that abomination of the crucifixion of Christ. You contradict God-- I even...

It is God who "twisted" ("confused" Genesis 11:7) all language including all scripture, and only the Spirit who can untwist it. But, no, you have it wrong. For the words are not "foolishness" (1 Corinthians 1:18) or "clanging cymbals" (1 Corinthians 13:1), words not spoken in "their own...

No... The context of scripture is what God chooses, not those who write or those who read. It is only those who "hear what the Spirit says" who will hear His voice. If it were not so, then all the Psalms regarding Jesus, were only about David, etc.. For this same reason Jesus asked those in...

This I have done (above in bold), but only by the Holy Spirit, as it is written of those who speak the truth. Click above "to expand." But, no, this is not an issue of "faith alone", and you are not the judge of such things. Rather, first, notice that you have put all these things together...

"But he who endures to the end shall be saved." Matthew 24:13 This Jesus said to his disciples before He paid for their salvation on the cross, and before He ascended unto the Father to make a place for them. As such, he was speaking to those of "this generation" wherein all these things would...

That would be laughable, but it's not funny. What you are missing, is that the "english" you are referring to, was "twisted" ("confused") by God-- and therefore must be "spiritually discerned" and then "rightly divided." Which I have done exactly while you have not, but blame me for "twisting"...

This again is just a misunderstanding of yet another passage of scripture. Below in Matthew 7:22-23, you have misunderstood what Jesus meant by "knew." In biblical terms, and here in the context of the bride and the Bridegroom in marriage, "knew" means that the Bridegroom "never" came into...

You did not quote me fully. I said Paul suffered an "ongoing" struggle. Which he defines differently than you, by saying "always." But now I am repeating myself, and you are continuing to deny the truth of what is written. Your problem. As for who is "perfect", Christ alone is perfect, and "I...

No...that does not correctly define the End, as do the scriptures, which I quoted. As I (and Jesus) said, He is the End. Therefore, if one is "in Christ" and He in them, they have died to the flesh having been crucified with Christ. Again, you are mixing what only pertains to "the dead in...
