I wonder what response the OSAS crowd could give to these passages. (Sure, the temptation is great to sweep these verses aside and replace it with verses that support their doctrine).

I speak English. I am Groot.

This is probably the most common expression by Christians that is not in the Bible but is it Scriptural? I've heard strong arguments for and against this and wonder what those in our community think? Here is another article for your consideration. Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin? Why Christians...

I'm afraid your thesis has a flawed premise. Never before did I hear your premise. I've heard the Word is for those with eyes to see and ears to hear and some told they don't have ears to hear. The whole notion of someone being spiritually dead is flawed. They may be spiritually dull, lacking in...

Another figurative statement, not a claim of divinity. All prophets speak the Word of God. It does not make them God.

And this is mystical to you? Laugh in the name of Moe, Larry & Curley.

LOL projecting big time! The nature of the almighty being unitarian is stated 5,000 times. The way to properly interpret John 1 is through Deutoronomy 18:15-18.

John and several Mary’s were with him.

Wrong. It’s such a desperate trinitarian reach to suppose this figurative verse makes this statement. Beings and people are not words. HINT: The Word is the Word of God, not Jesus.

Wrong! We are not people of the book! All that matters is having a right relationship with God and others. We are NOT saved by having correct doctrine but humbly accepting our need for a Savior and trusting the Son of God. This is just as true for all those who have wrong doctrines and test...

No. Jesus did not compromise but patiently taught the ignorant masses. I am not advocating compromise. I am advocating tact when you know there is disagreement. Not vicious in-fighting like we sometimes see here.

No. It’s a diversion to the passage I quoted. For obvious reasons, you want to change the subject - to the importance of being saved. No one is disputing this. This thread is about OSAS and Matthew 7:21 ties work as responsibility to calling Jesus your Lord. Period. Quoting other verses are...

Well, the starting point is not to assume anyone who disagrees with you is either the devil, possessed by a demon or deliberately twisting things. Instead, assume that any differences in doctrinal understanding is sincere and one of you is less spiritually mature. They are on the right path...

The driver of prolific Protestant denominating. Does the Bible say anything about unity, peace and patience with those of differing opinions? Rom 14:1, 13; Jam 4:11-12

I must have missed that. Not relevant to the issue at hand. Why did Jesus reject those who did works in his name? And telling them flat out. HE NEVER KNEW THEM Your question is a distraction from the issue.

Thomas Jefferson said when it comes to principles stand like the rock when it comes to fashion flow like the river. Another quip is to get along you have to go along. If you don’t compromise, you won’t get along with people. Take Christians of other denominations, for instance. The core...

Not an answer to why you ignore Matthew 7:21.

Yea right! It is not a Scriptural thing. It IS a 4th century human construct thing.

If this were true the resurrected Jesus would not be talking about his God in John 20:17 and Revelations 3. There is only one God and it is Jesus' God.

Mainly because of Scripture do I fight so much. LOL Why do you ignore the Scripture, such as Matthew 7:21?
