The English here is very plain to see, read and understand. You cannot harmonise it because it does not conform to your doctrine. You do not want to uproot the wrong foundations that you have been building on. Therefore the only alternative is to twist the scripture. Why anybody would want to do...

Therefore we should take heed/notice/adhere to the statement following. You are to put to death the misdeeds of the body. In essence obedience to God is of paramount importance. You do not get a free pass. You now have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. You are no longer slaves to your former...

Too easy... Galatians 5 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led...

And you keep reading too....here we go below: Romans 8 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the...

Romans 8 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the...

Romans 2 12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the...

Johnny commits adultery against his wife. Jack no longer commits adultery against his wife. Who has had the change of mind? Johnny or Jack?

2 Corinthians 7 v9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of...

Believeth (in the "Believeth Not" sense) is the same word - Pisteuw. Here we have an example in verse 18 of the same chapter: 3:18 He that believeth 4100 5723 on 1519 him 846 is 2919 0 not 3756 condemned 2919 5743: but 1161 he that believeth 4100 5723 not 3361 is condemned 2919 5769 already...

Maybe you don't understand. Why are two different words, namely PISTEUW and APEIQEW translated as Believeth (one word in the KJV) whereas in different translations they make a clear distinction? Why did KJV not bring the meaning through adequately, since in Greek the very words of GOD are using...

The Greek is the original, not the KJV. The Greek uses two different words. Why did the KJV use the same English word?

1) Jesus says if you love Him you will obey his commands, which are not burdensome ---> I don't believe that there will be people who enter heaven who do not love Jesus Christ. 2) Jesus addresses those who refuse to heed his commands in the following way: Why do you call me Lord, Lord and not...

Rosie, see, it wasn't a difficult question to answer. Your conscience testifies to this. The OSAS believer (most of them) will refuse to answer according to conscience. Thanks for your honesty. It happens to be the right answer.

As usual, no straight Y/N answer to a simple question posed.

Hi Jackrosie, believe it or not MANY MANY OSAS believers think that obedience has NO BEARING on salvation (my caps here are not shouting but emphasis). Obedience instead is categorised as discipleship, or something we should aspire to. When confronting an OSAS believer with the following...

Hi CS1, most OSAS believers do not believe that obedience is involved in our salvation. They typically say all that is required is BELIEF. But what does belief entail? A head knowledge that Jesus died and rose again? Or does it mean believe in Jesus (He being the Word, inclusive of His words...

And let's take some additional context before the OP verses for further illustration of the belief vs unbelief, or more aptly belief vs disobedience. John 3 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of...

Now below we see further evidence of the original OP post. To those who conflate words, the below makes this very clear, comparing the OT believers to the NT believers, and showing that we are to LEARN FROM them (see Heb4v2 below). Hebrews 3 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it...

Sorry for the delay, was away for a while. My responses to your message above. Will insert in blue font.
