I don’t want squash anyone’s post. I’m trying to bring a perspective that some Christians haven’t thought of. JPT

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15

Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 1 John 2:3-5

What scripture would you like to discuss. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He...

Has God rested from all His work, or is He still working today?

I agree. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24 This is how we are instructed to remain “in Christ”. Do you agree or disagree? JPT

There are many, however they all are summed up in loving God and loving your neighbor. If you steal from your neighbor or commit adultery with your neighbors wife is that loving your neighbor or hating him? If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does...

I haven’t “dismissed” any scripture. I simply stated that other scriptures do not make the scripture I quoted, not true. We don’t pit scripture against scripture. We don’t try to take one scripture, to nullify another scripture. Discussing the scriptures that are presented, rather than...

You may have posted scripture somewhere, but in response to my posts you don’t. Jesus warned us to remain “in Him” If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6 Here is how the...

Please copy and paste from any of my posts, what you believe is a lie. JPT

All scriptures are profitable for teaching, and instruction in righteousness.

Paul, like all of us, must learn as new Christians, how to walk according to the Spirit, rather than walking according to the flesh. Paul, in Romans 7 was recounting this process where he like all of us must learn to be led by the Spirit. Remember, Paul spent some 17 years away from Jerusalem...

Jesus gave us the signs to look for when He was about to return and gather His people at the resurrection and rapture. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these...

The word of God is the truth. Those who obey the truth receive eternal life. Those who obey unrighteousness receive condemnation. God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality...

Amen!

Did I say that? Heresy is a teaching that is not from Christ, and divides God’s people. Heresy is a work of the flesh. Those who promote heresies will not inherit the kingdom of God. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in...

All scriptures must be reconciled together, that we may may the whole counsel of God. I realize some may not be ready for meat. JPT

I don’t believe Judas, who was destined to reign with Christ and the other eleven apostles, will be reigning with the Lord. Most likely Paul got that place. JPT

Others Scriptures are not going to change the truth. Nothing will change the truth of His word. If we live a life of walking according to the flesh we will not inherit the kingdom of God. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him...

Before this in chapter 5 He said — Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:28-29...
