No, that is NOT what he is talking about. Verse 11-13 specifically says these were “uncircumcised in the flesh!” These are gentile Christians —not Jewish Christians. All Jews were circumcised in the flesh or they were not Jews. Tell me what was “wiped out?” That’s the point. He is telling...

Have you read all of Colossians 2? How did you conclude the text is telling Jews not to let unbelievers judge them? That is totally not what that passage is saying. For one thing, there may have been some Jews there, but verses 11-13 is specifically talking to gentiles who were “UNCIRCUMCISED...

God said, “let no one judge you in regard to … sabbaths, which are only a “shadow” of things to come…”He explains why in the preceding verses (Col. 2). 1. Verse 14- Because he has “wiped out the handwriting of requirements—the old Jewish law with the 10 commandments, and 2. He nailed them to...

I would advise you to read and study the New Tesrament. It is the “mind of Christ.” 1 Cor 2:16. It does not teach what you believe. God gave us the Bible for a reason. It is our guide, our “road map “ for how to get to heaven. God has not left it up to us to decide how we want to get...

That’s only the beginning. James 2:24–“…not by faith only.”

That is not a necessary conclusion as I’m sure you know. God has allowed for that when He commanded repentance. Not only that Hebrews 10:26 says that there is plenty of Jesus’s sacrifice to cover all of our sins as long as they are not done “willfully”. So it would seem that you are trying...

The passage clearly gives us the choice to “put off” the old man and we must choose to “put on” the new man. No one forces us to do this. I don’t see how this scripture proves that once you decide to put on”. The new man you can never “fall away”, which is what this thread is about. Find a...

The very fact that we can CHOOSE to be a slave to sin OR A slave to Him, PROVES we have free will to CHOOSE! You just proved my point. Thank you.

Where is the scripture in the Bible that says we do not have free will or teaches we do not have free will? Did Jesus the good shepherd force the “lost sheep” to leave the fold and get lost or did he leave of his own free will? Luke 15. You gave no scripture to sustain your position...

If we have free will to choose salvation or reject Christ in the first place, we also have free will to choose to be faithful to him or to leave and return to the world. God is the one who gives salvation and HE has made it CONDITIONAL upon our “believing and obeying Him to be saved and then...

2 Thess. 2:14- we are “called” by the gospel, not a direct operation of the Holy Spirit. This is The Bible definition of “being called.” Men have a different definition. Who do you think is right? In Acts 8, Phillip “preached Christ” to the Samaritans. They “heeded” the things he preached...

Yes, indeed, beware of them if you don’t like the “truth” of God’s word.

2 Thess.. 2:14- we are “called” by His gospel.

I certainly will. And will continue to do so. Prayer is powerful. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

How many parables he taught does not change the meaning at all. The parable of the prodigal son is about a child of God leaving, throwing away his inheritance (heaven), thus being lost; then repenting, and returning to God, and being restored to his former state (saved) as a son.

IGNOR those who disagree with you? Satan couldn’t have said it better himself. That’s exactly the kind of advice he would give. He doesn’t want you to study ( 2Tim 2:15), or “test” the spirits 1 John 4:1, or “search the scriptures to see if those things are true” like the Berians did and...

That’s easy. Roman’s 10:17-“ so then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Gid.” The Bible definition is never wrong. Every example of conversion in the book of Acts shows this.

Did you miss the part of the story where the son was sorry, told his father (God) he was sorry, and his father ( God) forgave him and took him back? Where did we lose you? God’s word is plain and easy to understand unless you don’t want to.

I must admit, this made me laugh. (I didn’t think anything on this thread could do that.)
