    God's word in english is true

    I am not too worried about the old testament. The new is where most of what we need is at for us. But as a sideline this post is about the old testament. The book of Ruth , in my opinion, should be called the book of Naomi. It starts out by letting us know that Naomi was a dutiful wife and...

    Eternal Security of the Believer !

    Phil 3:12 Jesus took hold of Paul on the Damascus road. Acts 9: 1-6. It sounds like Saul wasn't given to much leeway in the matter. He was told what he “must doâ€. Coming from God it doesn't sound like Paul had much of an option. Paul certainly was apprehended. If anyone else can claim a...

    Eternal Security of the Believer !

    Jer 31:33 a covenant is not an unconditional gift. In a covenant both sides have an obligation. Jesus states in Jn 15: 6 that we must remain in Him. In addition to Jn 15: 6 there is Gal 5 : 2-4 and Heb 6: 4 – 6 reaffirm that continuing belief in Jesus is a condition of the covenant. The verse...

    God's word in english is true

    More on osas Ro8: 26-30 There are those called that receive Jesus and don't make it because they do not love God. Ro 8: 28 lets us know who the people in verse 29-30 is referring to. In Jn 14:23 those love Jesus keep his words and Jesus and the Father make their abode within that...

    God's word in english is true

    Matt 16:15-19 So what do gates do? Some gates are built to keep things out. Such as gates around a castle were built to defend the people against those trying to invade them. Some gates were built to keep things in. All our prisons have gates to keep the people we put there inside. The gates of...

    God's word in english is true

    The only thing is that every one of my * versions say essentially the same thing. Peter tells Simon M. to repent of his wickedness. Pray to the Lord and maybe God will forgive him. Every Christian that has a moderate knowledge of the new testament knows that ( Heb 9:22) blood has to be...

    God's word in english is true

    Matt 16:5-6 yeast is something that just a little of can by its subtle way of working creep in and become something very large that completely distorts the truth. Take for instance Acts 8:1-24. If I'm right and Simon M. is a saved person then verse 22 means that Simon M. can be forgiven but...

    God's word in english is true

    Matt23:1- 29 holds truth for us today. Verses 29 thru 32 Jesus states that they admit that their fathers were wrong in killing the prophets yet they believe their fathers instead of believing the word of God spoken by the prophets. Isa 29: 13 their worship is rules from their fathers. Jer 7:22...

    God's word in english is true

    As further proof that complete repentance is not needed lets examine Acts 8:1-24. I have always been taught that this proves that belief alone cannot save one. But lets compare what is said to other scripture. If Simon M ,the magician, were not saved would Peter have told (Acts 8: 22) Simon M...

    God's word in english is true

    I never thought that you were supporting a works based salvation. On the point of what is expected of Christians after salvation I believe that we agree. But if one contends that Gentiles are responsible for repenting of anything other than unbelief prior to salvation then I disagree...

    God's word in english is true

    Paul being a Jew was not under the law until the age of accountability. So until he reached that age there was no sin imputed to him. Once he reached that age the law convicted him of sin because he was under the law. Gentiles are not, nor were they ever ( Ro 2:14 ), under the law. Now the law...

    God's word in english is true

    So will one of the complete repentance prior to salvation believers explain to me how the Corinthian church was boasting on a young man in their church who was engaged in a sin that the pagans abhor ( 1Cor5:1-6). They were boasting even though they had to repent of sexual sins not nearly as bad...

    God's word in english is true

    It is a proven error only if it causes a major negative impact on the believers walk with the Lord. (ex. Some prople claim that Jn 21:16 is in error. They say this because although both agapeo and phileo can mean love , each means a differant kind of love. What major negative...

    God's word in english is true

    The Jews are under the law. I thought that I had stated that in one of my posts in this series. Yes they had sins imputed to them. God calls on all to repent. The Jews who are under the law repent of sins committed under the law. The scriptures that you cite John and Jesus are both talking to...

    God's word in english is true

    Lk11:4 Jesus said a lot about our forgiveness being based upon how we forgive others. If our forgiveness for salvation as based on our forgiveness of others then salvation would be based in part on our work. Our salvation is not based on our ability to forgive. For our daily walk and to be given...

    God's word in english is true

    1Jn3:9-10 Notice that we cannot continue to sin. If we are in rebellion the Father leaves and we die. Anyone that continues to sin is not a child of God. If he was God would call him home. So why does it seem like there are so many in Church living in sin? Maybe 1Jn 5:14-17 helps...

    God's word in english is true

    Several versions really didn't do very good with Rom 8:9-11 From Gal 1:1 we know that it was the Father that raised Jesus from the dead. Now in verse 11 above Paul said “if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you†which means that He may not be in you. In Jn...

    Does Eve Deserve More Blame Than Adam?

    Gen3: 16 God told Adam that he had done wrong â€Because you listened to your wifeâ€. Ro 5:12 lays all the blame to Adam. 1Tim2:14 the Holy Spirit who inspired Paul agrees that Eve was in fact deceived. He also states that Eve became a sinner but everyone became a sinner when Adam...

    God's word in english is true

    Since there seems to be no disagreement on the truth of the Bible then lets deal with some doctrines that require one to deny the plain meaning of some scriptures. One doctrine that denies the plain meaning of scripture is the doctrine of repentance prior to salvation. Most denominations have...

    God's word in english is true

    Most Churches that I have been associated with believe the english Bible has translation errors. They preach and teach from it, yet most of them have certain verses that, according to them or their denomination, have to be retranslated to match their belief. Yet other Churches or denominations...
