Who wrote the epistle of Romans? HINT: It was not Apostle Paul!! This is not a trick question.

I believe so, although I didn't know the post was from long ago. Sorry for that.

I would presume the fruit was a fig, since God clothed them shortly thereafter with fig leaves. They sowed Fig leaves for a covering. Yeah, I am going with a fig.

That's because eis means "into". It doesn't mean "because of". In other words, be baptized into receiving forgiveness of sins, not be baptized because of forgiveness of sins. Remember that unbelievers' sins have also been forgiven, just as the believers' sins have been forgiven. Nobody will...

We pray to the Father (not Jesus). You would ask the Father about the prayer if he would grant it. Be ready to accept any answer, we need to ask the Father to answer our prayers, and then leave it with God the Father. Pray regularly for whatever you are praying for. Make sure your prayer follows...

That may be true, but it is not what the unpardonable sin is all about. The Jews are not the elect people in this Church Dispensation, but the Church was give that status by God. (see Rom 9-11)

The unforgivable sin is not committed by a person, but by the nation Israel. It is the rejection of Christ's offer of the Kingdom to the Jews that was being presented to the Nation of Israel. Even unbelievers are redeemed, not just for those who accept Christ. Christ paid for all sins for all...

You are getting closer! Positional Truth is the same as the NT expression "in Christ," in Him." Paul and John are very fond of using this expression. "in Him" has two nuances: 1) in Him as we walk this life (sanctification), when we sin, we confess it and that restores our fellowship, 2) in Him...

I agree with all you wrote. I am not too fond of using the expression Baptism of the HS, it has been converted into some strange experience that are suppose to have. The Baptism of the HS actually was something after salvation originally, but after a while, it became a symbolic ritual...

This is not quite accurate. Let me explain 1 John 3.6. This chapter/book is about Positional Truth, not salvation. So in 1 Jn 3.6 for example John is saying that those who are in Christ (that is, those who have all known sins confessed) do not sin because being in fellowship with Christ means...

What do you mean by "full of iniquity"?

I am sorry but I can't quite understand what you are saying. But this I know: The holy Spirit, once the gospel is presented, convinces the unbeliever of the truth of the Gospel and that the unbeliever is convinced that his eternal destiny is at stake. GJohn 16, Rom 1

Now you got it. I would disagree that "it is all of Him and none of us." We play a crucial role in the salvation of our souls. Each person is responsible to respond positively to the Gospel. I consider this to be a self-evident truth, recorded throughout the Bible.

Paul instructed the recipients of his NT letters that they be copied. And more copies to spread his epistles to as many churches as possible. The NT Pauline epistles were completed in 68 AD. There were copies and epistles that were verbally recited for a congregation; this was standard practice...

The written NT was completed in the first century. The process of creating a canon took longer.

A non Sequitur.

Grace, I am sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to convey with your post above. I can't tell clearly what your position is? Are you a post-trib or pre-trib? How did you understand my little Oh, I wish it were that simple If you are serious about studying the various views of the...

All you did was to make dogmatic statements without any support by explaining what you believe and why my conclusions are wrong. Would you find it odd if I responded to the Post-trib position by saying, "No, your position has no biblical support." That is an admission of not understanding the...
