In fact your belief that Jesus is much too hard-hearted to pay for ALL sins is the main plank of your dogma.

Mar 3:28 - Verily I say unto you, All SINS shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
Finish the passage. He isn't saying all sins are forgiven, but that all other sins can be forgiven. Cherry pick much?
 
Right. They should have plead the blood of Jesus for the remission of their sin.
Focus. Sin and deeds are not the same. And He died to sin ONCE FOR ALL.

Discussion remember?
Rom 6:10
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

I never said they were the same thing. I said sins are deeds.
 
1 John 3:23 differs with you.

No it doesn't. You are making it say what YOU want. James clearly indicates something anti-God occurs from which sin is derived.

It is you who differ from James.

James 1:15
Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
 
I already have life.
Not if you believe (as you say) that this passage:
Exo 12:13
.....and when I see the blood, I will pass over you,

Actually reads like this:
Exo 12:13
.....and when I see the winning pre-birth sovereign lottery ticket, I will pass over you,

More gobbledygook from you. You are the one who believes blood is on the door post of every individual.
 
The Greek word for deed is erga. It includes all actions, beliefs, and conduct, and everything connected to them.
 
Probably due to her annoying and continual accusations towards @reneweddaybyday regarding posts on this thread only to find out it was a different thread and without merit ..... as were most, if not all of the accusations.

Ooops!! :ROFL::ROFL:

Yes, including accusing me of being a liar for misunderstanding her to be a tulipist.
I apologized for offending her several times, but she never forgave me.
(However, I think the real offense was suggesting that she make pictures illustrating verses supporting MFW.)
 
And this is His commandment...THAT WE BELIEVE.

And we don't when we reject the truth and replace it with our own desires which is evil and this gives rise to breaking the command to believe.

James 1:15
Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

You are trying to give birth without conception, will never happen.

Of course I don't.
Same as I know that stapling a lottery ticket to the doorpost is certain doom.
By promoting that Jesus paid for the sins of all people, you are teaching that God has applied the blood to every heart. If all sins are remitted, they must have been remitted by His blood.
 
I never said they were the same thing. I said sins are deeds.

Ok. So we can rightly say Christ died for the deeds of the world. You never cease from being 100% wrong.

No I'm not.
You said sin is breaking the law. We are commanded to believe. While not believing may be considered evil, it is most certainly sin by your own definition.
