True to a point, but maybe not so much the Old testament. Before Jesus came, no one called God almighty, Father, like Jesus kept telling them he was, that is to those who believed in and on him and his name. And John 1:12, which you would consider Old testament, because it was before Jesus died...

Sorry sir, I wasn't able to follow the line of thought concerning repentance and forgiveness you mentioned. Would you care to try writing it a different way?

I would like to make a correction to one thing I said. That being, that we do not need to repent to keep our salvation. There are certain conditions that could cause a person to lose their salvation if they fail to repent of, what Jesus called, debt collecting. If we do not forgive neither will...

Right?! I would be hard-pressed to say he argued his point articulately. But then again, if I see a mess, I will either answer only one or two of the subjects in question, or I would leave it entirely, without answering.

I would say I do in part, do you? One thing I know about a seal, is that it is not permanently affixed to the outside of whatever, but is temporal. At least until the intended time, place, and/or person broke the seal to look at, read, or get to the contents inside. And back in Jesus' time on...

Agreed, and I never said it was.

Said the biblical scholar confidently, as though it was enough to settle the issue. Not feeling the need to justify such a broad statement with scripture. Even the corrupt and deceivers will use at least a little truth in their deception while twisting, adding to, or omitting scripture. You...

It is saying, we are sealed/marked by the word of God we receive in our heart, and that word, which is a seed/offspring of and from the holy Spirit. And that said word or seed of the spirit of God is a down payment or pledge until the day of our redemption from The works of the flesh. The...

So now you admit we are not automatically forgiven? It doesn't matter what the forgiveness is for, the fact is you just admitted, it is for the purpose of restoring one's fellowship with God. Even though you didn't say all of that.

Would you care to give your own rendition of how word of Faith works inverse 9? Because verses 9 and 10 are a continuation of verse 8, which talks about, word of Faith. Which happens to be the very thing Paul preached. So now I ask, what is, word of Faith, and how does it work?

Of course I can, but I'm not going to until you answer mine first, which I've already asked twice. Is there a reason why you continue to ignore and/or dodge such a simple question? I have already answered your first question without you answering mine, and now you are asking me yet another...

Why do you ask me a question when you failed or refused to answer my questions to you? And why are you equating jesus' shed blood on the cross with confession of one's sins? I thought we were talking about receiving forgiveness of one's sins and not about salvation of one's soul. Being forgiven...

That is flat out wrong or incorrect. To think our sins are automatically forgiven, covered under the blood of jesus, and cleansed of said sins, is just wrong and will get a lot of believers into trouble. If we are automatically covered in the blood of Jesus and our sins forgiven and washed away...

I did not say you had to confess Jesus before Christians, or even before man or people. However, Jesus did say, if you confess me before men, I will confess you before my father, and it is also written, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father...

That would depend on who you are talking about. If you are talking about a Christian or believer, then repentance of one's sins would be one of the steps necessary for forgiveness. The other would be to confess said sins with your mouth. The third is to have faith or trust in God to fulfill his...

It is very simple to understand, if you understand what goes on inside you. But instead of going into all the details, there is more to you, than just you. There are other beings or person, that are a part of you, that affect what you say and how you feel, and so on. We are made like God, and...

What is a work of faith? Give an example in your life please.

Precisely. It's scriptural, don't ya know?

You are struggling to find even one verse proving God doesn't need man to do His will. The verses you used do NOT prove any such thing. There are things God will do, but everything done is a DIRECT RESULT OF MAN DOING SOMETHING. What we so we will reap, is a law which requires us to do something...

What does that have to do with me? It's about what is written, and I don't see that written. I see scripture showing God using man for both His purposes and for His will to be accomplished. And to answer your question, YES, I believe God waits on us before He can do what He desires.
