He started it by calling Christians deluded who believe a certain way. To the humble GOD is humble; to the perverse he is perverse. In this type of situation I disagree with your counsel. He needs to be rebuked strongly.

Oh I see. You got "the son" from the Greek Textus Receptus. Other manuscripts have "a son". So there is a variant in that verse.

What translation are you using that says THE son? The Greek doesn't say that.

How is it an accusation? It's getting right to the root of the matter. Extremist reformed doctrine based on Calvinist ideas maintains that man has no abiity to do GOD's righteousness after regeneration. That's what drives much of their confusion and contradictory logic.

Those who walk in Christ don't walk in darkness. Therefore, there is no occasion of stumbling in them.

You're deluded by Calvin's total inability.

No it actually says the exact opposite. The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his...

Not perfection through the flesh, but perfection through the spirit. Walking in the spirit perfects our lives.

You clearly don't understand the faith of Christ. A righteous life is a blameless life, not a sinless life. It's impossible to live a blameless life having an indifference to sin, as your gnostic doctrine says it is OK to do.

But they are not in violation of Christ's law, which is the law they will be judged by.

Don't kid yourself. They don't obey the law either.

If one follows Christ's law - do not hate - then one will fulfill the righteousness demanded by "do not murder". On the other hand, if one follows "do not murder", yet hates in his heart, he has not done the righteousness required by Christ. So the effectual law is "do not hate".

When I said the letter I was referring to the whole law, not just one individual command as you did. The part that you mentioned happens to be the law of Christ, so it is not applicable to what I said because it is not the whole law of Moses. Israelites could have obeyed that command perfectly...

If you are following this, you will never find your way.

Romans 8:4 says that those who walk by the spirit will do the righteous work of the law, not continue in sin every day. The fact that you think walking righteously is unattainable and are not concerned about that, reveals the lawlessness and bankruptcy of the doctrine you follow. Christ does not...

This is what I think it's saying (this is a pretty literal translation): .... made alive in the spirit, in which [spirit] also he proclaimed to the imprisoned spirits being passed away, to the ones disbelieving when the patience of God once awaited the ark being constructed in the days of Noah...

I have no idea what you're asking.

So did GOD move your fingers to type that?

Point 5 - pure conjecture.

It's pretty clear what Peter was saying here. In long suffering while Noah was building the ark, Christ in spirit proclaimed salvation through Noah to his disobedient neighbors, who's departed spirits are now imprisoned awaiting judgment. Instead of this simple, sensible, biblical...
