I don't see how I ignored you, and that is a nonanswer. Please feel free to respond or I can just consider this a concession. Your call

That's a bit of a harsh statement. I believe in free Grace in Christ's work alone. I don't judge myself because there is no condemnation for those in Christ, but that doesn't mean I don't love the Lord and His law. God ordained good works that we should walk in them, not that we should remain in...

First I'll answer the last bit. I do not believe God fails. Your god fails, but not the God of scripture. I'd like to make that clear. Second, I must apologize. I was under the impression that you were a standard arminian with the arguments and interpretations you provided. I ought to be more...

You sir have it backwards. Faith is a gift (eph 2:8,9) My brother mentioned scripture telling us that that natural man cannot perceive the things of God. Jesus tells us we have to be born again to even see the kingdom of God in John 3. This is the gospel of the apostles, the one they learned...

This reply will take a while to write, and probably a while to read, but I hope this helps. First I will make note that you are upset with my theology, not my interpretation of the text. The interpretation stands. But I will clarify something. Christ's sheep are not his disciples while they...

But according to you, Christ died and paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind. God desires to save all men, he sent Christ to save all men, that was the mission. But he doesn't save all men. God loses most of the people that he sent Christ to die for. Call it what you like, but that god...

I hope I don't have to spell out for the others here that this is rank unbiblical heresy. Anyone want to take a crack at correcting this guy?

I never put words in your mouth, I didn't quote you as saying this. I pointed out a logical conclusion based on your theology. If Christ death is meaningless until we do something, then it is meaningless for the vast majority of humankind and he is a failure regarding those people. You are...

So far the responses are great. I love to hear so many people teaching Sola fide and God's free unmerited grace. Don't forget to vote please

My point was that you seem to say that man is justified by works. That it is our righteousness that proves our faith and that we choose that. My point (presuming that is what you meant) is that man is evil. Jesus even told us so, to the point that he drove off most of his hearers. We cannot keep...

Guys it a simple question. These are mutually exclusive. It's the justification BEFORE GOD. How are we ultimately justified.

Wow. The fact that you cannot see that as bad Grammer is really sad yo me. No one switches subjects midsentence and Jesus certainly doesn't do it here. That reading makes Jesus' statement (especially in light of his entire dialogue here) make zero sense. I'm glad you posted it so everyone can...

Lol I know I'm late to the party but I really wanted to comment. Hope it helped 😀

You're not hearing me at all. Of course the your is singular, Jerusalem is a singular city. So let's interpret this sentence. Christ desires to gather the children of Jerusalem but they (Jerusalem) did not want that. It's plain and simple. This verse isn't about people's free will rejection of...

One last comment. You are not quoting the verse correctly. Jesus says Jerusalem, Jerusalem....how I've wanted to gather your children and you would not. He isn't speaking to the children, he is speaking to Jerusalem. You keep saying I'm misunderstanding and that language proves I'm wrong, but...

You have no case. When the punishment of the wicked is described in scripture it is put alongside heaven. They are juxtaposed. Meaning if he'll eventually ends, so does heaven. Also, the punishment fits the crime. Infinite God, infinite punishment. Very simple. I agree with the others that have...

Jesus tells his hearers many times (John 6 most pointedly) that they cannot believe him because they are not his. Only his sheep hear his voice and one him. It is not our effort that brings us to good or that justifies us. It is Him. This sounds alot like salvation by works.

You again have provided no proof, no context, no exegesis, and no interpretation. Just half quotes, misapplications, and assertions. I think at this point my conclusion is proved. There is no light in you, friend. You need to repent. May God be the Judge Edit: I'm sad to see that in your whole...

Jacob was not an upright man, lol. His name means usurper. He tricked his brother out of his birthright by lying to him and their father Isaac. Plain in this passage compares him to Esau who has a mighty man and strong Hunter, meaning jacob was average not that he was upright. On top of that...

I'll say this again, but only once more. The context is clear. These are 7 woes to the scribes and Pharisees about their evil in lying to the people turning from God and killing the prophets please read the whole chapter, this could not be clearer. Also, again, in the OT the prophets rebuked the...
