@cv5 - Well, I do have a day job. So I may be able to get back to you on your recent two posts here maybe tomorrow. Not that I looked at all your points here because I have to get ready for work and you wrote a lot, but did you ever consider that Paul is the one who will be saved through...

Thank you, brother. I understand salvation as having two distinct aspects. This is not Calvinism by any means. Man has free will to either accept or reject God, but this happens when God illuminates the truth to a person at the right time or times in their life (Under the drawing of...

No. My recent reply to you on John 15:2, and John 15:6 proves that you have not really debunked anything here. I show that your interpretation goes against what these two verses are saying together and I have dismantled your OSAS interpretation on 1 Corinthians 3 view that it talking about a...

I would say the fundamental problem is that Fruchtenbaum and you are interpreting John 15 through the lens of OSAS that makes the passage sound odd or out of place with a normal reading. You begin with the conclusion that a genuinely saved person cannot finally fall away, and then the passage...

What is the condition of having the seal of God? Scripture says, God the Father has set his seal upon those who labor for the meat that endures unto everlasting life. "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall...

You boast that your eternal security is true. However the real test is not in your boasting about it (which anyone can claim about any kind of silly false belief), but it is being able to explain it light of the truck load tons of verses on conditional salvation. So how do you understand...

I understand the distinctions Fruchtenbaum is trying to draw, but I do not agree that his corporate or dispensational framework successfully answers the warning in Romans 11. Romans 9–11 can just as naturally be read as dealing with individuals within the larger corporate bodies. After all...

I understand that Fruchtenbaum interprets the passage corporately. However, repeating his corporate interpretation does not answer the actual language of Paul’s warning. It assumes the very point that must be proven: that the individual branch standing by faith represents a future Gentile...

Thank you. All glory be to the Lord Jesus. ….

I understand the distinction you are making from Fruchtenbaum’s interpretation. However, identifying it as “the place of spiritual blessing” does not remove the salvation context surrounding Paul’s warning. The broader context does not allow Romans 11 to be reduced to national privilege and...

First, the KJV translators did not originate the rendering “silence” in 1 Timothy 2:11–12. Earlier English Bibles in the received-text/Reformation tradition were already using it. Tyndale has “learne in silence” and “be in silence,” while at 2 Thessalonians 3:12 he has “worke with quyetnes.” The...

The reason why I don't like Calvinism is because not only is it unbiblical, but it is immoral. Yet, people still follow it even if it paints God in a bad light. I have similar feelings of the sin and still be saved belief you hold to. I see it as religion for sociopaths or those who are out to...

Obviously you missed the part of my posts that give quotes to Ancient Greek authors. You also appeared to miss or not understand that Stephanus' Lexicon predates the KJV by about 39 years. You also do not appear to understand that LSJ"s lexicon covers not only biblical Greek but Ancient Greek...

That's a false accusation because nowhere did I ever say Jesus is a false teacher. Jesus is God. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. But people do not like all of what Jesus said, even if they don't exactly say that or think that way on a conscious level. Trust me, I wish...

Right, because we all want to live in an immoral society where people are out to kill you, harm you, and do all manner of evil against you. In other words, if everyone took this sociopathic attitude toward Christianity, we would be living in a world that is an immoral nightmare. Ever heard of...

Who are you replying to, and what are these words supposed to even mean? …..

Obviously you never understood Matthew 13:41-42, John 15:2, John 15:6, Galatians 6:8-9, 1 Timothy 5:8. I am afraid for you both. But I am expecting the immature response here. You are going to probably say something dumb and fleshy again and not even look at the context of these passages...

It’s like I am speaking a foreign language and you missed entirely my point. Either that are you simply have suppressed the truth to a point where you are in denial about looking at anything in the Bible that might challenge your position. Time for me to move on when you are unwilling to look...

Stephanus and LSJ both recognize “silence” as an established meaning of ἡσυχία, although the word also has the broader sense of rest, quietness, and tranquility. Stephanus’ Lexicon: Under the headword ἡσυχία, Stephanus begins with the Latin definition: Quies, Tranquillitas Rest, quietness...
