    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    No..rather salvation must be real and have the power spoken of in the bible. We show we are saved from the world as we overcome sin. Otherwise what would stop everyone to claim they were saved without any sense of reality? The lawless see themselves being entitled to do anything they want. This...

    Falling from grace

    You are only reading from the bible what you think benefiits you. When you do this you will deny anything you find " hard" and seek yo justify yourself in your present sinful condition. The bible is clear that a true follower of Christ is dead to sin. Ignore this at your own peril. Again, the...

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    Episkopos sure would seem like a bad dude according to this proof! ;) This is the thing...nobody is going to wear a sign around their neck that says...Hey! I'm walking in Christ alone and no longer sinning!!! Someone who doesn't sin is not going to go around claiming this. If fact the proof we...

    Faith without works is dead

    Both are wrong. It is what Jesus does IN a man that saves Him.

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    Statements such as this show a complete disregard for the truth.. You said This is the very opposite of what Jesus said. He came not to abolish the law but fulfill the law. And grace causes us to fulfill the law in Christ and He in us. Notice this... 2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin...

    Galatians 5

    The bible is written in such a way as to protect the truth from the carnal mind. God has engineered the bible so that in these later times men would perfect a lie that sounds pretty close to what can be construed from the bible. But these hate the truth. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall...

    Galatians 5

    But you are missing the point here. Paul said "Christ lives in ME"...It is not just we living somewhere in neverland called Christ as you say. There is a reality that makes real saints...you may have read about them. The proof that Christ lives in us and we in Him is that we walk as He walked...

    Galatians 5

    Then you do not believe in the gospel according to anew creation on Christ. You are an unbeliever who has twisted the meaning of sciptures in order you might yet claim to be saved in your unbelief. Your accusation of being a hypocrite is ironic. Paul himself admitted that he had not yet...

    Southern Baptists Debate Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    The truth is that it is both. What God elects we must also choose...what we choose God must also choose. A REALationship has 2 sides.

    Galatians 5

    Actually you believe you are freed from the responsibility for your own actions. So you wish to be seen as an adult yet you wish the irresponsibility of an infant. That is not what Jesus is referring to when He says we must become as children. Did Jesus die to save spoiled brats? This mockery...

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    \ Here is what the bible actually says... Rom_3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; You cannot be forgiven ahead of time for future sins. Men seek to...

    Galatians 5

    The faith of the few is to believe in the power of the gospel first preached by Jesus and then the apostles. This is not a gospel of a continued bondage to sin....but an overcoming through the filling of the Holy Spirit. :)

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    Your understanding is a common fable...magic Jesus comes to absolve you to sin as you wish (without trying to of course ;) ) This is totally unbiblical of course.

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    Is Jesus really what we want Him to be. Your argument shows that you are making Jesus to be as you wish Him to be...then critisize me for making Him harder to reach. What matters is the truth...not your take on it. We are called to walk in the Spirit in order to overcome the flesh...this is not...

    Are Christians sinners?

    I try to not share scriptures unless I think they will be understood. What is the point in quoting what people will always agree with? Everybody agrees with scripture...just only a few understand them. So it is better to hear what people think they are actually saying. We are to fulfill the...

    Are Christians sinners?

    Human reasoning should never trump the truth. One can easily be born again and walk according to the flesh. Esau sold his birthright for a temporal gratification. I think we'll be surprised at how many of us do the same. One can claim to have understanding of the scriptures but we will not be...

    Finally!!! Amen!! :)

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    There's no end to the unreality. Since when does Jesus pull the wool over the eyes of the Father so He cannot see our true condition? It is a human invention that has to make God change instead of us. WE are to change...God changeth not!!!!! Please refrain from inventing schemes that change...

    Galatians 5

    That is what I am trying to point out to you. But you continue with your unreality and religious claiming. For you getting on the bus sounds like a work....so you would rather stand at a bus stop and claim to be on the bus. Enjoy the ride! This is from your viewpoint of unreality. How can my...

    Non-Resistance and Pacifism

    You are espousing a heresy called "Triumphalism." We rich white westerners being the uber-menschen that God loves so He makes us rich and fat!!!! Lean a little more to the right and you get the KKK!!! Not a pleasant thought.
