    HERESY?

    Another heresy is divorced women or men remarrying when the former spouse is still living. Jesus and Paul say that is adultery. Sorry but there is no escape from that. It is clearly stated that separation is the only acceptable action, not remarriage. Many of you likely disagree strongly then...

    HERESY?

    Here is another heresy, Women pastors teaching men. But I am certain some of you don't think so. In a church women are specifically prohibited from teaching men by one of the chosen apostles of the Lord Jesus, can you guess who and why? That was as a result of the fall in Eden. Not everything...

    HERESY?

    I understand verses as they are written. I do not go to a reformed church, but the scriptures are what they are. Unless you twist them into something else, which many do by redefining the meanings of words. Then it is an attack on the integrity of scripture. People make a big show, fuss...

    HERESY?

    Well Paul still describes this as the mystery of the faith, and to be held in a good conscience without doubting. The Trinity simply is, but we really don't know the intimate details of the mind of God in the Trinity, as like Pauls says, who has known the mind of the LORD GOD to be His...

    "In His name is preached the forgiveness of sin" and this too 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” If unbelieving...

    That is not a good example for the point your trying to make though as you dropped off v16 that finishes the matter. Romans 2:13-15 For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; For when gentiles, who do not have the law, BY NATURE do...

    2 Timothy 1, likely some of you dont believe what is written, or maybe you nave never paid attention, but our salvation was determined long ago as one of the works of God as is said, Acts 15:18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works." Christ also told his children their names are...

    2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 New King James Version 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel...

    I have said the same things in this thread. Go back and see. Absolutely we are saved by the work of God, on the cross. And we are also born again by the work of God Our faith is gifted to us as Romans 12 and Ephesians 2 says And our faithfulness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit working within us...

    HERESY?

    The Trinity is one of the mysteries of the faith, 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 1 Corinthians 4...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    I chalk the Trinity up as one of the mysteries of the faith. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 1...

    You are still refusing to answer for your doctrine of works salvation versus the scriptures in Romans 10, which is a major doctrine 6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 or, Who shall descend...

    Here is another scriptural example of what I am saying John 5, verses 38 through 42 expose this truth, demonstrates this. 36 But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me...

    There is also that big problem with ENMITY of the unsaved against Christ. Satan blinds the minds of the unbelievers, and also they then have ENMITY with God and Christ, For those born again by the Spirit, this enmity is removed, that is why they believe in Christ. "7 Because the carnal mind is...

    The blinding by Satan in 2 Corinthians 4 is only in reference of those who are perishing, versus those who are saved, that is the whole of it, nothing about blinding the minds of believers is in there.

    You still have no answer for Romans 10 according to you philosophy John 3 tells us they are born again first. 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” That word see, means to perceive, desire, want anything to...

    Of course, that is sad. But they are blinded by Satan, which is why they are perishing. V6 are God's children, the saved and explains why they are no longer blinded by Satan, v3 and v4 are the devils children, the unsaved. Satan blocks the light of the gospel from entering minds. Satan does...

    God does not force, He does everything by His Spirit. Being born again is not forced, God changes your heart to be open to Him, he gives to you a new spirit, one that can be taught about Christ and know God. The unbelieving, their minds are blinded by Satan and do not come to the Light as their...

    Faith is never alone though as God is the author of your faith People are born again of God, the regeneration and washing of the Holy Spirit, according to His mercy, not by righteous works, then they confess Christ as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead. Born Again comes first before...
