There are those who teach He is doing good works and changing them such that they cannot be the winner they were no matter how they actually live.
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved - even though only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15
Obviously you haven’t bothered to read the text as it clearly shows Christ is YHWH.
From your posts you mean full well to behave as your new teacher does and give yourself full license to do so. You will become more and more like him so it’s up to you. The ability to respond kindly to words you don’t like will diminish. Your character will be affected.
That’s not what I said. No NT writer used that word in anything said or written. That is the truth. You add it to the text.
Show me where I said it was in the text.
That’s right, I didn’t.
Once again: Obviously you haven’t bothered to read the text as it clearly shows Christ is YHWH. But you wouldn’t waste your time actually reading the text to see what John said.
Likely opens the possibility of God then punishing them unjustly. I would not say "likely."
If you had ever mourned you’d know that those mourning and in very deep misery.
Since no NT writer ever said that, you’re adding it. Christ is God, not only of the Hebrews but all the names He ever assumed.
That isn’t what I said. I was referring solely to Adams state of mind which is not described. Eve was deceived. Adam was likely not.
Show me where I added it to the text.
Reading with comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it?
I didn't say you said it. Anyone can see that. You said Adam likely knew, and I said I would not use that term and gave the reason why.
PLUS, Scripture explicitly states that Adam was NOT deceived.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Tim 2:14
I don’t.
We never sweat to accomplish anything. All is done by grace through faith. Otherwise, it’s man trying rather than man dying.
If you wait until you feel like obeying the teachings of Christ you are likely not to do so often... only when his will and your will happen to be the same.
