What is the gospel?

Did jesus “show any grace” when he called the pharisees…”white washed tombs”, snakes. Dead mens bones? Was that just grace dripping from his tongue? Was it grace dripping off his whip as he turned over the money tables and let them have it at the temple? That was just full of Grace wasn’t it? Was Jesus full of grace when he called Peter Satan? If I called you satan you would have a fit and tell me how bad a person I am and then my post would be deleted because I would be “too judgmental”, even though the doctrine you hold to doesn’t even come from God. I know this because I cant read of anybody being “born again” by the Holy Spirit falling on them. If so then please show me and prove me wrong.
You are definitely NOT Jesus.
 
Yea. You dont answer ANY questions!
Ok. What questions will you answer? Lets just find one. I still can’t believe you would let such a false teaching heretic get away with any of this without any discussion whatsoever?
Jesus didnt much care for some of the questions and the motive behind them that the chief priest and the pharisees would ask but he still dealt with them.
For example…
Matt 21:23-27 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.


He didnt much care for it but he shut them up real quick.
why don't you put in an application to be Jesus on his days off?
 
That’s all you got to say about the doctrine of people getting to heaven without baptism (which is clearly against what Jesus said) and then regretting it in heaven? I spend all this time using the Bible to support what I say and a PhD in a week has not given me any verse of any kind to support anything? If im wrong you should be able to the passages, show how I misused them and then show me the correct way I should be using them.
You know, Im starting to question this PhD thing?
For someone who gives the idea you know everything, you seem to know very little other than to berate anyone who doesn't fall into line with your take on things.

1 John 2 v 9
 
Doesn’t “purified” and “made white” mean sin free? You cant be “purified“ and still be in your sins. You cant be “white” and still be in your sins. Impossible. So. Here is the million dollar question I know nobody will answer. At what point does the Bible through its testimony tell us when our sins are removed. I’ll give you a hint….Its not at the point of belief! Try these Bible testimonies..
mk 16:16, Acts 2:38, acts 22:16. Rom 6:3,4, Col 2:11-13
You can argue against God all you want but he is clear through his testimony at EXACTLY what point a persons sins are removed.


Rom 6 describes water baptism as the point at which we die, are buried, and then risen to a new life. Its a new life because its sin free.

The text says….purified our souls in obeying. Obedience to the truth is what “belief” in the Bible is. There are many passages that prove that point. Bible belief is NOT just mentally accepting Jesus as savior.

This isnt faith alone.

You seem to love Bible testimony! Why wont you give me Bible testimony to this question….
How does one get “into Christ”? Salvation is found…”in Christ”,(2 Tim 2:10) so we need to know how to get there..
I notice certain people here like to give sermons or lecture other contributors. I wonder why?
 
Swine are what has not believed in Holiness and thinks it can be clean in filth. ( sinning)


2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
 
How does one get “into Christ”? Will I ever get an answer from you. You’ve got all the pearls huh? All that wisdom and you cant answer an important, basic Bible question?
I look forward to the day when you answer positively and are not criticising someone else.

Perhaps they can't answer because you have all of them stored in your cheeks.
 
I am waiting for this post to be removed since you are being extremely judgmental! If calling me a pig is not being judgmental then I dont know what is. Why would you call me swine? Because I ask you questions you have no answer for? That should encourage you to go back and question any teaching you have received in the past.
If you can't handle that perhaps it would be better to tear out the page in your bible where it says that.
 
I look forward to the day when you answer positively and are not criticising someone else.
I look forward to the day you answer! I ask you an easy and straight forward question and you wont even answer. If you want to answer me in the meanest way you care to; I dont care just give an answer.
 
Seems that criticism is in your DNA
Whats wrong with criticism? You think it should never be used? Just when am I allowed to criticize someone, according to your opinion of higher learning? You are teaching false doctrine. You wont answer basic Bible questions. Seems like that is ripe for justified criticism.

Thankyou for confirmng what I said.

Funny your sarcastic comments always confirm what others say about you.
 
You really have got a chip on your shoulder about people studying to show themselves approved to God.
Even though I approve of what you've been writing I have to offer this correction...

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) reads, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." However, the word "study" meant something different in 1611 than it does today.

Here are more accurate translations: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." (NASB) or "Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately." NET or "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." NIV ... and many others are similar.

Make an effort, be diligent. do your best, etc. is the conventional meaning. It has nothing to do with studying (books, etc.).

You have yet to realise people are not bothered with a sarcastic, overbearing and know it all commentator. No names no pack drill.
