Oh, please. Give me a break. I surrender nothing by saying that. Stop the nonsense. I don't need this from someone who thinks that many verses in our English translations are mistranslated. Why do you even reference our English translations at all when you think so many verses in them are...

Right. That includes passages like Hebrews 3:12-14, Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-27 and Romans 11:20-22. Hebrews 3:12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is...

Why are you referring to "this house" and "that house" there as if you are talking about two different houses? That's not comparable to what Jesus said. He talked about someone abiding in Him or not abiding in Him. Your analogy would suggest that He talked about someone abiding in Him, but not...

I disagree with you about this. I think there are several other passages in scripture which show that someone who is saved can lose their faith and then they are not saved anymore. That includes Hebrews 3:12-14, Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-27 and Romans 11:20-22. I don't know what passages you...

Where does it say they are carried away by the Father? This is why we should look at other translations. Other translations say that He cuts those branches off. And why wouldn't they be cut off if they are not producing fruit? It makes sense to me that they would need to be cut off if they are...

So, you apparently disagree with me that in verses 5 and 6 Jesus reiterated and expanded on what He had said in verses 1-4? I think He clearly did. Can you please address that? Do you think when He said "for without me ye can do nothing" in verse 5 that He was reiterating or expanding on when...

Yes, that's ultimately what we need to determine, but you trust that the KJV translation of John 15 is accurate, right? It uses the word "abide". That means to remain.

I know I said we could just agree to disagree on this, but I think one thing that needs to be discussed that we didn't touch on before is what the word "abide" means. So, how do you define the word "abide"? It means to remain. That's why in some translations it uses the word "remain" instead of...

Clearly, no matter what I say, you will try to find a way around it. As for reading the entire passage of Isaiah 65, why would I need to do that? The part that relates to the new heavens and new earth is the relevant part of the chapter that relates to what I was talking about. I'm done with...

You misunderstand everything you read. I didn't say that no one fled until 70 AD. Jesus said to flee when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies. I didn't say that didn't happen until 70 AD. They didn't actually destroy Jerusalem until 70 AD. The Christians who heeded Jesus's warning had fled...

I have said the same thing myself several times. That is the way to look at the parable. The wheat represent the children of the kingdom and the tares represent the children of the devil (Matthew 13:38-39). So, if we look at things in real-time instead of God's eternal perspective, we know that...

I have no idea of what you're saying here. How do you conclude that all of Christ's followers are "the least of these" His brethren? The least of these are those who are homeless and need food and drink and are in the hospital or in prison. That does not describe all of His followers. LOL. Why...

God gave life to Jesus's humanity. The Word was God and the Word became flesh (John 1). Jesus is both God and man at the same time. You are deceived. Meanwhile, I look forward to the blessed hope, the appearing of my Great God and Savior Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13).

Yes, all of the English translators must be wrong, according to you. You know more than all of them somehow. I hope you don't use any of the English translations because you obviously do not believe they are trustworthy. So, what is your source for understanding scripture? Are you fluent in...

Yes, you seem to be a good example of that.

You are brainwashed, so only the Holy Spirit who you deny can help you understand. I pray that He will.

Say what now? What did I say that isn't true about what you believe? You think that salvation is entirely up to God's choice and not up to man's choice at all, right? I know you believe that God is the Creator of all things. And you believe that people are created with "total depravity" in the...

You can't even bring yourself to address my argument. I can only conclude that the reason you don't even attempt to address my argument is that you know I'm right, but you would rather believe whatever you want to believe. But, feel free to prove me wrong by actually addressing my argument...

I agree with all of this, but then, for some strange reason, you had to bring me into this. Why? I'm not a preterist. For goodness sakes, why do you do this? It's very weird. Why not just make an argument disproving the preterist understanding of 2 Peter 3, which I don't share with them, and...

Using a lowercase "s" for God's Holy Spirit says it all about you. John 14:26 (NASB): But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you. John 15:6 (NASB): “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you...
