Only the entire NT, but JN 3:16 is perhaps the best known. Do you think EPH 1:3-23 that we are studying is about a vacation in Kalamazoo?!

If you mean God determines human behavior, then you make man not responsible for repenting and God a hater of the ones not rescued from hell, which borders on blasphemy, because God is love; it is Satan who hates. Read the whole NT some day without projecting your own sinful hatred onto the HS!

Yes, and I follow neither Pelagius nor Arminius but base my MFWism on Scripture I have cited numerous times.

Yes, and the point from which it carries forward is past, the carrying on is present, and the forward is future.

Who cares about the millennial reign compared with eternity in heaven? (wherever that may be)

At this point Paul mentioned collecting a donation for the poor in Jerusalem, although he does not state a command or teaching (except by example). Paul ended this epistle by commanding love (16:14) and expressing his love (16:24, cf. TOP #106). Paul began 2CR by telling of trouble and...

Collated: EPH 1:18-19a, “Your eyes of your understanding having been enlightened to perceive the hope of his calling and the fullness of the glory of his inheritance for the saints and the overwhelming greatness of his power for us the believing, like his mighty power…” New: EPH 19b-21 –...

How about this folk song by Paul Stookey? Well early in the morning, about the break of day, I ask the Lord, "Help me find the way!" Help me find the way to the promised land This lonely body needs a helping hand I ask the Lord to help me please find the way. When the new day's a dawning, I...

Yes, it is about Jesus obeying God the Father's will for Messiah to identify with sinful humanity and atone for humanity's sins. (HB 5:7-9, 4:15, 2:14-18)

It means you are the apostle Paul.

Don't let Judaizers prevent you from acknowledging that all who have faith like Abraham are spiritual = Messianic Jews per RM 2:28-29. (Also, "don't let the devil have all the good music" :^)

I just explained: God is love and works lovingly through those who seek/repent/cooperate with His HS. What is YOUR explanation?

Yes, because most converts spoke the king's English, but surely that statistic has been changing ever since English changed or became more modern in the 20th century?

Yes, all babies need guidance in order to learn right and wrong and how to be saved, which is the role of parents. A&E apparently failed to do this effectively with Cain, whose first sin probably was not murder.

The only exception is when the person was baptized as an infant rather than as a profession of faith in Christ. This is why the first Baptists were called Anabaptists or rebaptizers, because many were converts from Roman Catholicism.

1CR 14:18 is one of those verses in Scripture that are problematic given the fact that the rest of the chapter attempts to downplay the importance of glossalalia and Paul never recommended it in other epistles.

Yes, this is why learning GW is important: so we will have a reservoir of truth in store from which the HS can draw when needed.

Because the essential aspect of being a human rather than a robot or subhuman creature is moral free will (MFW), which is what enables a person to experience love and meaning. This is what makes humans different from animals, whose behavior is governed mainly by instinct. This is what it means...

Yes, the purpose of the OT (like creation and conscience) is to prepare the way for Christ.

...or on ourselves, who would be as wicked to demand a sign (MT 12:39, 2CR 5:7).
