You mean we sort of just accidentally fall into sin like...a puddle? Just by accident? :LOL: (Sorry, I'm just being silly.)

So you gave a thumbs down because you felt attacked by me? Okay, that helps me to understand at least. :)

Could you direct me to the post where he said 1 win = unsaved? I'm not defending him. It's just that it shocks me to see a man say what Jesus and Paul said and to see him attacked for it. You just don't expect to see that in here.

You have given a thumbs down to this post NNM. Which part of it do you think is not true?

It's pushing a false gospel to say God has promised that if we abide in Him we don't sin?

I've never used this phrase in my entire life but...that's a strawman! Where has God gotten this bad reputation that if someone stumbles he is cut off? If a man doesn't produce fruit, he is pruned so that he produces fruit. And we know that if we do stumble, we have an advocate. And we know...

Our faith is counted to us as righteousness. To have faith is to trust. To abide is to remain in, gain endurance and keep having that trust. The result of that abiding is to become more and more like our Lord. We believe/trust/abide in that trust to the saving of our souls. We run a race to win...

I hope you're not suggesting that if we abide in Him we will sin, because that would be going against the bible. You could say a lot of things - for instance: If I don't abide in Him, I will/do sin. Or, I sin whenever I stop abiding in Him. You could even say, perhaps, that if it were possible...

I don't believe he is talking about self righteousness. I think he is saying: make no mistake - a righteous man does what is righteous. I think he is talking about the power that can make you actually BE lawabiding. Other men seem to think that is...illegal? Or that it is illegal to run a race...

The death right now that He calls us to when He says pick up your cross and follow, is the self life. The pride of life, all demands that men must honor us and treat us well and esteem us. I mean, look at us in here, in these forums - if someone is rude or snotty or arrogant towards us, we begin...

Yes, big mistake. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. But we must walk in truth, not darkness, by admitting our weakness so that His strength will be made perfect in our weakness. Therefore, Paul said he gloried in his weakness because then he became strong! We start with earthly...

I disagree. When He said if any man wants to be His disciple, he must pick up his cross and follow, this was referring to a death right now. And that death is escape from sin. But no man wants to go to his death and give up his rights. So men try to keep their life and their rights while also...

You might get a lot of different definitions of what abide means. To me, it just means to remain in trust, to continue in trust. The moment I try hard not to sin, I have left off trusting in Him to finish what He began in me. (I've left off abiding). So to me, the verse is saying: anyone who...

I think that would be a very good thread to have!

I disagree. I don't think you are reading this mans posts carefully. He is preaching a victorious life in Christ as possible. Other men are saying a victorious life in Christ is not possible. And you think he is using some excuse like when satan tried to tempt Jesus?? That makes no sense... It...

I disagree. The verse says: if we abide in Him we do not sin. This appears to be saying it is possible to live without sinning. So my first reaction is to ask someone to please tell me what abide means and how one does abide. My first reaction is not to argue that the verse is wrong. And it's...

Yes the U.S. is hated, but that doesn't mean the political figure couldn't come from the U.S. A charismatic enough man could overcome that. I just think he may come instead from somewhere else. I don't know why I think it, but I do...

It's going to be an unholy trinity. Three. A false prophet (yes, a religious man), will be one of the persons. But just as some think Trump will play a part, as many others thought Obama or Bush or the Clintons would! The reason I think the RCC could play a role is because of the verse that...

Gosh, seedz, you have intrigued me and I wish I could stay and talk with you some more, but I have to go work. I see some of what you are saying but I also see what I think is a crucial mistake in your...equation. I hope I'm not too tired after work to apply my mind to your posts. I tend to...

(y)(y)(y) You can't throw out God simply because men abuse His word... You can't say God doesn't exist because men are evil hypocrites... And you can't dismiss God because men add their own thoughts to scripture... You don't do this with anything else in life do you?
