    typical. you go on and on about obedience, until someone asks about YOUR obedience to the ultimate standards laid fourth in the Sermon on the mount, then you refuse to discuss it. 0 credibility when you speak of what others do, then refuse to do so about yourself.

    understanding? don't know. but 1 thing is for sure- you sure do not want to address the standards set fourth in the Sermon on the mount , and if you ( so big on obedience ) obey them 100% of the time...

    so, using actual greek words and their definitions is an " ad hominem ". well, since most of the New Testament is written in greek, maybe we should consider this language and its meanings.. again, you have no authority over Scripture, to do with as you will. this is what you are doing when you...

    Repentance

    well, since gentiles were never under the Law, unless you are jewish, you were never commanded to keep the Sabbath, or any more of them. the N.T. is the instruction manual for the Christ followers.

    so, in other words, you reject the actual definition of words because the actual definition does not fit your religious beliefs. no thank you, I will submit myself to the authority of Scripture, accept the definitions of words, and understand we are not saved by works. you are free to believe...

    sorry bro, words have definitions . the Biblical word for repent is metanoia. the definition of that word is ' a change of heart, a change of mind, '. a change of mind that will lead to a change of behavior. just what I said. submit yourself to what the Bible says and the accept the...

    maybe you could read the sermon on the mount, ( I told you this yesterday , you ignored it ), and then see if you keep that standard 100% of the time. because, at the end Jesus states "you shall be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect . " God's standard is perfection . can you be...

    repenting means a change of mind , which will lead to a change in behavior. it's all about belief. salvation is a gift. the minute you attach a " have to ' to it, then you just made it about you. it's not about you.

    sure. it's like this - we ae saved by grace through faith for good works. that is the order- salvation is from God the Father through Christ the Son, we have faith, trust ( belief ) in Him, and then we are empowered by the Holy Sprit to do good works. so, yes, we are to obey. but, obeying...

    the Gospel is " believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved ". and, as far as confession , the same sentence says " and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead '' it is not wise to quote half a sentence and build theology around it. trying to be deceptive......

    I understand Christian faith just fine. Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Jesus also made a whip and drove the money exchangers out of the temple. it's called balance. so, instead of addressing what I said, you attack me for saying it. argument tactic 101. and, one of us got banned and...

    maybe you guys should not say mockable things like touting confession, without going into any detail about what or how, just throwing it out there, and ignoring the first half of the very sentence he quoted. i.m sorry,, that is just plain silly and no thinking person is going to take that...
