    Please explain this.

    Here is your misquote of God and me: Keeping His commandments "is finished." What is scary, is you think you are serving God while misquoting Him.

    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    People rail on you because you are just wrong...on both "the way we are saved", and why "Paul said" what he said. Here is Jesus putting the way we are saved in His own words, which "most assuredly", does not agree with your dissertation: John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My...

    Quite apropos that you would finish with a misquote of both me and God.
  4. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    No...I was just being kind to include myself. Your theology is greatly off--far from "perfect", and your communication skills are terrible. What do you mean "So you mean you only do what YOU want to do?" (Rhetorical) People who have Jesus in them don't need to be commanded or required to do...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    Thanks! I wonder then if dispensationalists have some way of handling things like “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”...but “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire?”

    Please explain this.

    It really shouldn't take 22 pages to make your point clear and concise. But thank you! Now... "required" is just not the best use of words here. "Required" makes it sound (to new believers especially) like we are forced to do something we would not otherwise do. That is just not right, not...

    "Required" is your word. I will not stop speaking against such error.

    Please explain this.

    I did not quote you, just like you did not now quote me. I paraphrased your insistence on works being "required" to be saved. There...I quoted you.

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    Wow, I have missed 12 pages already! Anyway, I would have to say that they are the gentiles, that "other fold" brought by Christ. Jesus perhaps give the answer in the previous pages, saying to the priests and Pharisees: Matthew 21:43 "Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    The term seems to have taken on a meaning that I am sure I don't even know. My first idea was that it meant "first the Jew then the Greek" (first Israel proper and then all the other people). Which I thought...Well, duh, two folds of Christ, two dispensations, of course! Too bad it's not that...

    Please explain this.

    The problem is you are mixing them up, saying that what is expected of those after they are saved, is required of them first in order to be saved. It's not.
  12. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    You are mixing the requirement for salvation with the requirement for service. They are two separate things. Ironically, if you put them together as you are...it is not of service to God, but a disservice. You can read the scriptures yourself...and you should, because you apparently have them...
  13. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    I agree. That is why I am speaking out regarding the greater truth of the gospel of Christ, rather than suggesting that a person can and must do works in order to be saved. That is not the truth of salvation at all, and to carelessly and forcefully campaign against the actual truth, should...
  14. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    That is not what I am saying at all, and you think wrongly of me because you misunderstand. You say of salvation "that [it] requires obedience to God." But what is true, and what is biblical, is that of ourselves we "can do nothing." Therefore salvation does not "require" anything of us, but...
  15. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    No, sorry, that does not describe salvation nor marriage, but captivity and slavery. What we have gained in Christ, cannot be lost. For it is not we who can loose, but Christ in us, who has won His victory, which is forever. Salvation is not a "process" as some believe, but is a gift that has...

    Please explain this.

    I quoted God. Now you babble. I guess we do know who we are dealing with.
  17. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    No, that makes you both wrong...and God correct.
  18. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    That is not biblical. If one is [actually] saved "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand." Not even that person themselves. "No one." ...Thus, if you will go back and view all things according to this truth...it will...
  19. ScottA

    Please explain this.

    There are a few debatable points there... But, I would keep things simpler, until the basics are established: Both "folds" are brought into salvation by Christ by their "belief", which indeed comes by some difference. Whether by faith or by word or by inspiration, each is belief nonetheless...

    Please explain this.

    Because you are giving the right answer to the wrong question...which makes it the wrong answer to the topic question. The topic is not not "obeying God by doing good works." The topic is rather, (paraphrased) "Is works required for one to be saved?" So, what is your answer to that question...
