Its a very good point @Judges1318 @mailmandan The term sanctification is used throughout Hebrews 10 Hebrews 10v10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (BELIEVERS) Hebrews 10v14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those...

Slam Dunk.

OK here are the verses, from the bible, to settle it for you once and for all. Job 26v7 7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. Isaiah 40v22 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out...

No what I meant was why should they heed?

Ok. So both camps or real and nominal Christians should heed the warnings. Why?

Why only "Nominal" Christians?

So EleventhHour says you are free to ignore Paul's warnings without any eternal consequences. It's a license to do absolutely anything you want to. You could theoretically from this point in your life run the largest drug cartel, have a merry band of assassin's for hire, continue in adultery...

There are only two options: A) a Christian is free to ignore Paul's warnings B) a Christian should heed Paul's warnings

The question is not an unreasonable one at all. Read it again.

It is a Y/N answer. Which is it?

It was a simple Y/N answer. Not a straw man. You pulled back to your safety zone instead of answering this question. Please, answer the question.

Good. Are we free to ignore these exhortations of Paul without any repercussions to our eternal security?

Let me rephrase... Paul exhorting Christians to abstain from X, Y and Z (fill in the blanks)…….is that Works?

Good. So a call to holiness, is that works?

We agree on this. And then your thoughts on this verse: Matthew 7 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

MMD, we are not saved based on the merit of works - agreed. ^^^^settled. Now, if someone says they have faith but has NO WORKS AT ALL, are they saved? Y/N please. James 2v14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

Come on Mailmandan, you are really stretching in some of your points above. Why do you contort to such a degree is beyond my rational understanding. You have the opportunity, whilst you still have breath, to take the scriptures as they are literally written. Why would anyone defend a manmade...

Well summarised

This particular thread has become a Ghetto of sorts. It has probably long lost its saltiness. It is beyond any edification at this stage as nobody will be scrolling through reams and reams of slugging OSAS vs NOSAS. Timeless truths are lost on page 192732726. The whole matter can be summed up in...

17 Indeed[b] you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an...
