I am enjoying this thread, some very erudite thoughts, thanks Walls and Randyk. However one error that you both make, is the assumption that an...

Well, I got to really sleep. Hopefully tomorrow I can explain it to you (Lord willing). In the mean time, check out those other verses I have...

I think that would help us all. I am a strong advocate of eternal security. What I oppose is "unconditional" eternal security. As for humility? I...

Sin that is confessed (1 John 1:9) is the kind of sin that does not lead unto death in 1 John 5. But there are other sins that the Bible mentions...

Then explain it to me, please. It will help me understand your position better.

Yes, but not in the way that you probably know. For our ideas of what being "humble" actually is different. Paul says if any man speaks contrary...

Should we put this verse in Areopagus? 1 Jn 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him...

Can you testify of the Lord humbling you?

You are contradicting yourself. You are saved by accepting Jesus in faith or not. Which one is it.

You are speaking too generically for me to know what you are talking about. But that's okay. I need to sleep. In any event, may the Lord's...

This is not saying that God is condoning anyone's sins or that he is overlooking anyone's sins. This is saying that God died for us while we were...

But I may judge the fruit and it speaks loud and clearly. It is a humbling experience to be humbled by the Lord. Do you agree?

Again, you are not God to know my life to judge it. Also, Scripture is true regardless of whether anyone on this planet obeys God or not. The...

Sigh. Rom 5:8 But God has shown us how much he loves us---it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!

I agree one cannot built a doctrine based upon just one small portion of Scripture. Will you follow your own advise? :hmm: The Pharisee did not...

Actually, you have things backwards. If God were to save a person while they were doing evil, God would be rewarding them with Heaven (good) even in...

Both the Abrahamic Covenant and the Mosaic Covenant were covenants with *law!* God required of Abraham's family circumcision--this was law! And...

We cannot build a doctrine (like "repentance") based upon just one small portion of Scripture. The Parable of the Tax Collector and the Pharisee...

You seem to believe that Israel's failure *as a nation* means perpetual failure as a nation, or at the very least, division between her and the...

The obvious issue with that theory is the trib mentioned by Christ is a Christian tribulation not a Jewish tribulation. But, I don't want to derail...

But to be honest you cannot say that God is always good. There is a possibility that you can sin and be lost before you could repent. Only after you...

How can you humble yourself before God if you have no sin? What would be the reason, for you will then be perfect.

As I've said before, I believe the Great Tribulation, or Great Distress, as mentioned by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse, began with the 70 AD...

You are asking a loaded question based on faulty assumptions of things I never said. Of course God has been good to me in many ways and I can...

Yes, it is about attitude. But the wrong attitude is about not humbling yourself like the Tax Collector to repent of your sins. "for every...

I feel insecure about that because of my limited OT knowledge regarding this subject and I hate to blunder ;)

Scripture and Paul would not agree with you and imo this is where you get your understanding of the covenants wrong. Gal 3:16 Now, God made his...

Here is where we come to a false claim. 1) The city had been started when the first returnees went to Jerusalem back in 536 BC. Ezra 1 categorically...

So your life is not a testimony of the goodness of God? Mine is.

Well, this is not really the topic of this thread (as interesting as it is). But it is not a problem for God to give man free will and yet for Him...

Wikipedia says this regarding William: William was forced to travel even more than he had as duke. He crossed back and forth between the continent...

I would say that Revelation clearly uses the word "tribulation" in 7:14 (as well as 1:9, 2:9 & 2:10). So to claim that Revelation doesn't speak of...

Jesus says His kingdom is not of this world, and He says if His kingdom were of this world, His servants would fight. This is just one of the many...

Your missing the point here. The majority of the military and police are not saved individuals. Even those who may be saved, they are in direct...

If I treat your grammar with the accuracy I try to treat the Biblical grammar then I have to disagree. The word "until" implies it ceased then. I'm...

Ill have to get at that; in a day or so.

Of course yes that's me. Army. I'm about to fly overseas; for the 6th time.

It's a fair cop...
