I believe all five points you gave and I believe the verse you gave. And I believe the Christian has no condemnation and has eternal life. It depends what you mean by "none of us are perfect"? I think that all believers may occasionally sin, but because that sin is forgiven, in God's eyes...

So do you teach/think that an unbeliever (someone who is not trusting in the atoning work of Jesus Christ) can get to heaven?

Ah, yes hello! Penned - Hope you are doing well - I love you and your attitude and approach to life . . . Of course - here we disagree - but that is OK - Of course, all my sins were yet future when Jesus died - but my sins did not need forgiven when I had not committed any yet. When one...

No, Magenta, I do not believe that when one sins after being born again, that one's salvation is lost. That is not even close to what I believe. If you look carefully at my previous post you will see I said that "at the very moment you sin, you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ." So...

I searched the entire thread here to see if anyone posted any Scriptural proof for the idea that the believer's future sins are already forgiven before he commits them. It is interesting that I did not even find any attempt from anyone to prove that idea from Scripture. And I suppose for...

"Sola Scriptura" is a church doctrinal statement that includes all the historical dogma and declarations that go with it. When someone says they believe in "sola Scriptura" it is a declaration that they agree and stand with all that that manmade doctrinal statement entails. That is very...

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. That verse does not say "Sola Scriptura" - not even close. It says that we don't live by bread (physical food). We live by every word that...

Just Scripture Leave the church doctrine and politics of the manmade "Scriptura Sola" proclamation to the squabbling armchair theologians.

I could have spent 10 hours trying to write what you did and could not have said it more simply and clearly. Amen and amen - and then amen again!

Ezekiel 15:2 ESV Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?

Ezekiel 15:1 ESV And the word of the Lord came to me:

I guess whoever wants to can do it that way. I much prefer just to study Scripture and then believe and apply what it says.

If one comes at this with predetermined doctrine, then that will determine the answer to the question. I prefer to simply look at what the Scriptures say and take them at face value.

Yeah, you have good information there. And I would definitely tend to think that the long ending of Mark was in the original. But we don't have the original, nor is anyone alive who read the original. So there is no positive proof.

I have looked at this issues very in-depth and had many tell me every angle of it over the years. To "prove" (for example) that the disputed verses in Mark 16 were or were not in the original text is a difficult task. No one has the original manuscript so technically it is impossible to...

Hmmmm! that could take awhile to prove - get out the popcorn!

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head and drove it all the way in on one pound! Amen!

Communion had not even been instituted in John 6 - so Jesus was not referring to communion.

The OSAS response to Matt Dillahunty requires one of two views: (1) A judgment that he was never saved to begin with, or (2) That he was saved and still is saved, and as such will get to heaven in spite of his being an "atheist" or perhaps (3) God will bring him back to belief on his death...

The answer to me is quite simple: The person who believes in the atoning work of Jesus Christ and his resurrection is saved. The person who does not believe in the atoning work of Jesus Christ and his resurrection is not saved. Only the believer has eternal life. The unbeliever does not have...
