Statements like this are simply an avoidance of having to actually deal with the Bible actually says. The burden of proof is on you to make your case biblically how this even remotely so. Meaning, if you cannot discuss how I am misunderstanding these verses, then your statement is just empty and hollow and has no substance. We can discuss them if you like. Do you not believe others will benefit by the discussion?

over all others? this wording seems a bit... what's the word I'm wanting....
At any rate, there's no getting around translating scripture into right ideas, even if reading from the originals. You either get the idea or you mix it up for another idea that misses, and even barely missing it is still missing it. Much like sin. You don't get points for almost hitting perfect, if you're aiming for it, only a bullseye wins you the trophy.

In John chapter 8, Jesus said the Jews were of their father the devil and the lusts of their father they will do. In verse 47 Jesus says, "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” Obviously their doing sinful lusts like their father the devil has a great impact on why they were not able to understand or hear Jesus’ words. Paul says in 1 Timothy 6:3-4 that if any man does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud and he knows nothing. James 4:6 says God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. For example: Jesus says repent or perish. Jesus warned about how certain sins can keep us out of God’s Kingdom like lusting after a woman (Matthew 5:28-30), unforgiveness (Matthew 6:15), speaking the wrong words (Matthew 12:37), not helping the poor (Matthew 25:31-46), and turning back in preaching the gospel (Luke 9:62). One is obviously not hearing God’s words if they ignore these warnings in Scripture. Most Christians today do. They do not think there is any danger even when they are in sin. They have not passed from death unto life because they did not hear God’s words in regards to hearing the warnings about how sin destroys our souls in the afterlife and if we don’t confess and forsake such sins, we are toast.

I have no idea about what you are talking about here.
There are no originals!
What we have today are copies of copies of copies of copies.
This was even the case in the New Testament.
The Ethiopian eunuch did not have an original of Isaiah.
He had a copy and it was called Scripture.
2 Timothy 3:16 says ALL Scripture is inspired.
So what the copy of Scripture he had was inspired.
This is too vague of a saying. I have no idea of what you are talking about.
Most Christians think like this in regards to sin and what Christ did. So they believe they can sin and still be saved. But ask yourself if this aligns with Matthew 7:22-23, and Matthew 13:41-42.

Well, they undoubtedly believe they are saved and genuine themselves. So in their own minds, they think they are saved believers, and they no doubt will convince others of the same. But their belief is simply not in line with the Bible. They are merely self professing believers in light of His Word. They cherry pick the Bible to justify sin and Jesus will tell them to depart from Him because they did not play ball on God’s terms. They did not believe Jesus when He warned about sin in Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 9:62. They did not believe Paul when he said, God has chosen you to salvation through the Sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13). They did not believe the apostle Paul when he said, “…let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” They did not believe Paul when he said if you do not provide for your own, you are worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8).
